This is stunning. Vasily Grossman in Life and Fate 1960, writing on "this machine whose dimensions and weight will continually increase as it attempts to reproduce the peculiarities of mind and soul of an average, inconspicuous human being."

And pointedly noting in the same breath: "Fascism annihilated tens of millions of people."

(I looked this up because of a post by @maelle)

Wanted to create a little icon to indicate that no #GenAI was used in creating posts that I wrote, and also that these posts are not available to be used as training for those systems.

I know many such icons exist but I really like the #CreativeCommons license icons, so it's inspired by those!

There is a webpage too with instructions if you want to use it yourself (but I did not want to buy another domain name): https://noai.erikjanvankesteren.nl

OpenAI declared “Code Red” in Dec. Now It looks more like “Code Dead.” 💀

The scorecard for 2026 so far:
❌ Lost $12B in ONE quarter.
❌ GPT-5 flopped (users preferred the old model).
❌ Key founders (Ilya, Mira, Greg) left the building.
❌ Gemini hit 650M users while ChatGPT traffic fell.
❌ Burning $5B/year on memes.

Is the AGI dream over, or just stalled?

Unpopular opinion: OpenAI is turning into the WeWork of AI. 🏢💥

When you lose $12B a quarter to build a model that is worse at basic math than its predecessor, you don’t have a tech company. You have a charity for NVIDIA.

If you’re holding AI infrastructure bets, look at the fundamentals. The gap between the “revolution” and the P&L sheet has never been wider.

Who is still bullish on $MSFT / OpenAI at these valuations? Explain why. 🧵

Are we realistically assessing students?

Very interesting piece on assessment and poor genAI policies istitutional policies.

Being in the middle of a full programme level review, my feeling is we're over-assessing and using antiquated methods that really never worked (oh God... another closed book exam... kill me pleeeeease). If only, I don't know, we could talk to students or observe them doing something!

🧠 La maggior parte di #LLM eccelle nel dare risposte corrette, ma fatica quando serve esplorare: idee nuove, alternative lontane, possibilità che non sappiamo ancora di cercare.
