Avec tout ce qu’il a fait pour saboter les trains à haute vitesse en Californie, jamais je n’aurais pensé qu’Elon Musk devienne la cause d’une augmentation d’utilisateurs du train et vélo
> ce que fait Elon Musk, c’est trop, ça m’a coupé le plaisir de conduire. Il faut que le groupe change de patron! En attendant, je prends davantage le vélo et le train.

Seems to be another #LLM #TLDR day :) I like this essay "The Bullshit Machines", here some nice quotes:
---
BULLSHIT involves language or other forms of communication intended to appear authoritative or persuasive without regard to its actual truth or logical consistency.
ANTHROPOGLOSSIC systems are computer programs or algorithms designed to mimic the way that humans use language.
We are easy prey for an anthropoglossic machine: surely a machine that writes like us must also think like us.

Now I need to read the second half of the lessons :)
A nice TLDR from a 3.5h deep-dive into LLMs. I'm also proud because for the last 2.5 years I have been catching up with how these things work, and most of the TLDR is known to me :)
I have still a lot of questions, though...

We have mastodon at #epfl now! If you have an @epfl.ch mail address (doesn't work for the alumni (yet), but make some noise, and you might be added :), you can join here:
NeonSnakeAs a paid-up member of the "cranky old white dude" club myself, I'm fully supportive of this :)
I did it quite early when it was becoming a "thing" in early 2021. My experience was that it's one thing when it's the blue-haired 20-something entry-levels "girls" adding "she/her" to their sigs.
It's quite another when it's a 40-something middle-management "bloke" who wears a pale blue or white collared button-down shirt to his video calls every day even though he works from home adding "he/him" to his.
(obvious stereotypes, but hopefully you get where I'm coming from)
I'm a lot more difficult to dismiss as "it's just a fad" and I am *enormously* more difficult to have the "um, so, I get it, of course, it's just that it's, well, it's not what we normally put in our email signatures, because, um, professionalism" coercive conversation with.
it makes it much easier for others to follow suit, if we're providing air-cover for them.
Funny thing happened yesterday when giving my email address @gasser.blue to an insurer:
me: "...@gasser.blue"
she: "@gasser.bluewin.ch"
bluewin.ch is a common provider here
me: "No, @gasser.blue only"
she: "OK, @gasser.blue.ch"
me: "No, just @gasser.blue"
she: "???"
me: "Yes, it's not common, but actually an allowed name"
she: "Ah, that's funny, I didn't know. All good then!"
I thought it was interesting: very smart to fix common mistakes people make, but not geeky enough (yet) to know all TLDs by heart :)

Seems to be LLM day today.
Huggingface is working on agent models, and wants them to be able to interact with your browser. Probably similar to what anthropic is doing with their framework I never got around to install...
