À #Villejuif, on a mieux - ils dépensent de l'énergie (et de l'argent public)... pour expliquer que la facture d'énergie est telle qu'ils ne pourront bientôt plus chauffer les écoles et que la cantine servira des repas froids 🙃 #PubPartout https://twitter.com/tfpro/status/1620078072652529664

Today we mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic passing of our cofounder Aaron Swartz, a tremendous activist and technologist who fought for economic justice and for speech and human rights.

De quoi ChatGPT est-il VRAIMENT capable ? | Ft. Science4All

Maybe it’s also better to just focus on the fact that the model is really not doing anything by itself. ChatGPT doesn’t *do* anything, *you* do something *using* chatgpt. You are the one telling it to generate a text, and then that is what it does - it doesn’t have any agency in this interaction. But it doesn’t help that the text it outputs is conversational and also you can tape two googly eyes to a rock and people will treat it like a person so probably this is a cognitive ship that has sailed before we even got done building the harbor

I wish we had a good metaphor for what LLMs do that doesn't involve pretending it has some intent

like a lot of the harsher criticism is like "it makes things up" which implies malice or at least intent, which... there isn't

there's "it draws from a distribution fitted on its input data" which is true but also not really illustrative in any way

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades.

Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022.

Extraordinary.

Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable?

Researchers have discovered ancient Roman concrete-manufacturing strategies that incorporated self-healing. Applying this knowledge toward modern cement production, they hope to improve the material’s environmental impact.

It's officially news: T. rex had baboon-like numbers of brain neurons, which means it had what it takes to build tools, solve problems, and live up to 40 years, enough to build a culture! Paper is just out in J Comp Neurol. Reality was actually MORE terrifying than the movies!
