We tone-policed flight shame away so quickly. We made smoking socially unacceptable. Smokers still smoke and are free to smoke, but give you a slightly apologetic embarrassed grin as they sneak out to the smoking area. When someone says they've bought a holiday home in Spain and someone else says they're bringing the whole family to Thailand to celebrate their birthday, there are no apologetic grins and the social expectation is still that everyone else exclaims "Oh how lovely! Lucky you!"

Her forklarer jeg og min kollega Petter om hvorfor vi er bekymret for produktet Sikt har kjøpt og som nå tvinges inn på universitetene:

Debatt: Amerikansk løsning når vi har behov for digital suverenitet - Uniforum

UiO må avvikle sin autentiseringsløsning til fordel for et system utviklet og driftet av et amerikansk selskap, lagret i en skyløsning levert av et annet amerikansk selskap. Tidspunktet kunne knapt vært dårligere.

@bert_hubert @bagder I read their blog post and that was an interesting read. I also wondered why I didn’t hear about Aisle before.

"Mythos" at Home, and It's Called AISLE

A startup out of Europe built an AI system that matches Mythos on zero-day discovery, using widely available models, even air-gapped.

There is a European-owned place called https://aisle.com/ that is doing world class security bug finding. Beating Mythos even in this case. But no one in Europe likes talking up our own talent. Been trying to get them mentioned in Dutch news for ages, but all we can do apparently is promote US tech.

one thing that even people who are all about LLMs being The Future have in my experience found universally incredibly funny and/or to be Weirdo Company Behaviour is the incessant whining by OpenAI and Anthropic that CHINESE COMPANIES are STEALING THEIR MODELS while at the same time insisting that they get to yoink data off the entire internet

Today, after a ton of work, we publish our Recommendations When Using LLM-backed Generative AI Systems for FOSS Contributions, which reflect the extremely difficult dilemmas that these systems pose for FOSS contributors. We're approaching LLM-gen-AI from a variety of perspectives and this is practical assistance to minimize damage caused by using proprietary systems, whether FOSS contributors reject LLM-gen-AI or choose (voluntarily or by employer mandate) to use them.

Feeling blue because #caturday is long gone and the amount of time until next one seems forever?

Salvation is near!

"And in the meantime, please let's stop pretending that digital sovereignty has anything to do with "national AI." If Trump takes away your AI, everything is fine. If Trump takes away your iPhones, Office 365 and tractors, your country grinds to a halt. This is just not that complicated."

Våknet til nyheten om at en drøss med sportere har sportet en sport i natt, mens jeg sov.

Eg har starta å lese Bröderna Lejonhjärta av Astrid Lindgren. Det er sommarens bok i #Leseklubben på NRK. Eg høyrer den på svensk opplesw av forfattaren i ei innspeling frå 1974. Berre dei første 20 minutta denne første veka. Veldig, veldig bra så langt!
