I can’t find all that much about activities of Gladio in Italy, do you have sources?

I teach, nothing is evident to anyone 😭

If you want, any work that does not encompass the whole world is applying a filter and therefore a bias of some sort. We don’t expect a photo to X-ray the roots of a tree, because we understand the physical constraints of photography. Sure, something could be just out of frame, something else could have been photoshopped out, you can create a different story by selecting different photos and so on. But we understand the “what” a photo represents. I doubt we have the dang understanding of “what” an LLM represents, what are the constraints of the possible answers, and we definitely don’t understand why a specific answer is chosen over the infinite other possibilities.

Depends. For an expert, that is self evident (even if it might not be clear which biases have been incorporated). But that is not how it has been marketed. Chatgpt and similar are perceived as answering “the truth” at all times, and that skews the user’s understanding of the answers. Researching how deeply the answers are affected by the coders’ bias is the focus of their research and a worthwhile undertaking to avoid overlooking something important

AI is getting a much more widespread use than people with a technical background. So its application, namely in education but in all other non-CS disciplines will be through people with limited understanding of the biases. It is importing them to make them explicit, to underline that an LLM will produce the same biases it deduced from testing data and its loss function. But lots functions and test data are not public knowledge, studies need to be performed to understand how the coders’ own biases influenced the LLM scheme itself.

A photo has less bias because we know what it is representing: a photo only shows what can be seen. But the same understanding is not clear AI. Why showing a photo-realistic tree versus a biological diagram? Choices have been made, of which a broader audience needs to be aware of.

Did you read the rest of the article? The tree drawing was just the triggering element to an evaluation of the AI capabilities, in particular underlining how “tree” (but also “human”, “success”, “importance”) are being strongly restricted in their meaning by the AI itself, without the user noticing it. Thus, a user receives an answer that has already undergone a filtering of sorts. Not being aware of this risks limiting our understanding of AI and increasing its damage.

Theoretical research in AI is both necessary and hard at the moment, with funding being giving more to new results over the understanding of the properties of old ones.

I am also very confused by the conditional. EU has safety standards because safety. Obviously lowering the standards lowers safety!

Oh so many!

What are you into? Which country (I am personally partial to Russia, France, Italy)? Translated into English? Classics or recent?

Once I build a cardboard key holder with the same thought in mind, I spend a couple of hours on it. Still remember its existence only once a week.

Misplacing my house keys. I always swear I will start putting them “always in the same place”, but i never do, and it’s been now some decades I have my own house keys, that I scramble to find them every time I get out the door.

The pycharm AI integration completes each line. That’s very useful when you are repeating a well known algorithm and not distracting when you are doing something unusual. So overall, for small things AI is a speed up. I haven’t tried asking chatgpt for bigger coffe chunks, I haven’t had the greatest experience with it up to now and ii don’t want to spend more time debugging than I am already.

You write about (a quite shitty) reality, but the picture is somewhat of a dream, everyone is projecting their own wishes all around it. Running water, electricity, in the vicinity of supermarket/restaurant/pharmacy… it’s all there, in magic country land.

I am also a city person. I love disconnecting for holidays, but then I am back with similar minded friends, in a city with all city commodities and I don’t think I would switch.

That’s terrifying…

You don’t need to know all of logic to be a math major! It’s only one of the many paths one can take when studying math. I went for “creating pretty pictures” and ended up in numerical analysis, a branch of math concerned with creating algorithms to compute the solutions to a wide range of problems, often application driven such as air flow, temperature, biological systems and so forth!

Scale it considering that a president is appointed for 4 years, a monarch for life. Overall, I don’t find it weird that people need time to mourn when their political system gets a good shake…

But Queen Elizabeth was not “former” queen. What would happen if a President would die (of natural causes) on the job?

Reality is a lie! And 2020 is basically the future, Bug Calendar is lying to us!
