The zeitgeist AI-critical opinion on the Disney v. MidJourney lawsuit might have formed as either: 1) Disney is evil so I should briefly align with AI. 2) AI is evil so I should briefly align with Disney. That we seem to be landing on #2 suggests the social web has turned fully around on IP law.

i am looking for academic (or similarly "serious") courses or textbook-y texts on LLMs with a major component (lets say >66%) that is NOT about the technicalities of Transformers, optimization, RL, tokenization, etc, but instead focus more on data, eval, interpretability, etc. pointers?

Is there a term for the state of "killed yourself over last-minute conference submissions and now need a week to recover"? Also, any strategies from group leaders who manage to prevent that?

🇩🇰 PhD Fellowship call for candidates who have a data science idea they'd like to pursue in Denmark deadline: March 5 ddsa.dk/phdfellowshi... I'd be happy to support an applicant interested in generalization/memorization, data attribution, synthetic text detection, or efficient approaches in NLP

State media. State censorship. #January6th and #Project2025 search results are also being hidden on Instagram. There isn't a single, arguable reason to stay on any META platform or X.

As a professional gatherer of news I have to say one of the hardest things is staying simultaneously informed and sane. The only thing that works for me is a balanced media diet and avoiding the sources that scramble my brain. This means social media only in manageable doses.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
