A first time experience for me giving a talk. Someone comes in before the talk started, and lays down to sleep on the chair next to him. I am used to people falling asleep during my talks, but this was a new low. I said it was fine to leave him there as long as he didn't start snoring. 😊

Google frames its LLM as a tool to deceive friends & family. Rather than pitching Gemini as a way to build one's knowledge, they pitch it as a cheap way to grift the social benefits of knowing stuff but without really having to learn. Depressing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_P_... #AIethics #techethics

"Whitney and his colleagues have given us a new approach to combatting prejudice. It is worth following their work moving forward as the virtue-based approach continues to (hopefully!) be developed in the future." www.forbes.com/sites/christ...
