"Ah," the robot said, "now I understand."
"Understand what?"
"The concept of 'uncanny valley', where something is subtly wrong, unnatural, but you can't pinpoint why. I've experienced that now."
"Oh? How?"
"I talked to ChatGPT."

Hello anybody who lives in the Seattle area! I work for a lovely nonprofit day center for women who are experiencing homelessness in the University District in Seattle. We are constantly in need of many items, but at the moment our biggest concern is, oddly enough, plastic bags! (Like grocery bags). If anybody has an overstock of shopping bags, old clothes, pantry food, etc and you’re looking for something to do with it, feel free to send me a DM for details. Thank you!

Hey #bioinformatics , #OpenScience and #computerscience hive minds of mastodon, I have need of your help.

See https://genomic.social/@MrHedmad/110606060559853537

I need a way to make our lab data FAIR without having to explain or use anything very complex. RO-crate does not cut it, for our personal use-case. So I came up with https://github.com/MrHedmad/data-myr

Can anyone take a look and tell me if:
- It is dumb / useless / makes no sense
- There is something identical to it

and any other feedback. Thank you! Love you! xoxoxoxo

A 🧵 [1/n] So, I was thinking about FAIR data. I wanted to start cataloguing our lab's data and make it FAIR, even just locally (with the idea that in the future we can start uploading somewhere). So I wanted to find some software that can bind metadata and data in some way. I found a series of LIMS software that seems to do what I want (e.g. makes protocols, data types, authors, instrument pages and links them all together) [...] #FAIR #OpenScience #help #researchsoftware

Everyone go home I found the best scientific paper title of all time

"Full-Scale Destructive Bridge Test Allows Prediction of Ultimate Capacity"

(https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3141/2200-14)

Judge Jackson recusing herself from the Harvard affirmative action case despite zero financial benefit to her staying on, & Alito, Thomas, & Barrett refusing to recuse themselves from numerous cases where they gained significant financial benefit, tells you everything you need to know about progressive integrity & conservative corruption. #ExpandTheCourt

Trying and failing to find the post where somebody explained these systems as answering “What would an answer to this question •sound• like?” That captures so much.

One of the things that makes #LLM #Chatbots seem like they can carry on a conversation is that they adjust their state according to the conversation as it evolves, and respond in light of previous comments from both participants.

This may be good for a conversation, but naively implemented, it's quite a bad thing for a search tool / knowledge engine.

Here's an example. Here one answer #Bard gives when you ask it what I think of the InfoMap algorithm that I co-developed with Martin Rosvall.

My daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:
