Open Question:
What is the end of AI systems?

Like the end for a car is transportation. Therefore, we continue to iterate on the design to improve power, efficiency, or style.

Can a similar focus on end be applied to AI? Some seem clear like AlphaGo, self-driving cars, medical imaging, etc. Really the challenge seems to be with LLMs. Is the lack of clear end contributing to misuse and harm caused by LLMs?

Our neighbours are arriving to our camp.

This image holds a beautiful, daily reality for us at Orinoco Eco Camp, and a deep question that stays with us.

We have started a small school here in the heart of the Orinoco Delta. It begins with the basics: reading, writing, numbers. The goal is simple: to offer these children tools that might open doors for their future.

But this step always brings a profound dilemma to mind. By introducing our ways of learning, are we enriching their lives, or are we unavoidably starting to change a way of life that has been sustained for generations? Their knowledge of the river, the forest, and their community is immense and invaluable—a different kind of education altogether.

I come from far away, from a world built on different principles. So I am constantly asking myself: where is the line between sharing opportunity and imposing change? Is it ethical to intervene, even with the best intentions?

We are moving forward with humility and respect, but the question remains open. What are your thoughts?

How could we incorporate LLM/Generative AIs into the classroom and in creative industries in general?

What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom

My students call it “Chat,” a cute nickname they all seem to have agreed on at some point. They use it to make study guides, interpret essay prompts, and register for classes, turning it loose on t…

Getting back to #running at this time of the year was a great decision. Put on shoes, shorts and t-shirt and go for 7km in nearby forest - the most relaxing thing when I’m tired of reading books and sitting in front of a computer 🌳

Bonus points for coffee break afterwards ☕️

Out of curiosity, how do you usually relax on Sunday? #openquestion

Quite puzzled by the idea that "sad girl hipster" could be a music theme for a playlist. Not sure either if #Lorde or #LanaDelRey welcome this.

Shower thought from the other day: Is there a generalized continued fraction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_continued_fraction) with partial numerators and denominators b0,a1,b1,a2,b2,… (all positive integers)

such that the decimal number it represents is b0.a1b1a2b2a3b3… (concatenation of all the constants)?

Is there a finite one? Are there any? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Generalized continued fraction - Wikipedia

Quick question: B2B or employment contract?

Which one looks better in which situation and what to look for in case of switching sides?

I think I need to learn the overall opinion of people here on Mastodon biased by the fact that Mastodon is kind of a niche 😉

Would you use local-only services, such as email, chat, books library, copy of Wikipedia & other encyclopedias, local blogging site, local news, may be torrents, & smth else based on #p2p without access to "global internet".
What else local-only services you would use without access to "classic" internet?
Would you pay for access to such local-only service?
If such local services would appear in few places, they could to bridge.
