There’s been some really interesting panels at the conferences; as it’s my chief experience of US conferences, I suspect I underestimate the under-representation, if you see what I mean.

For the first of these, @spacebetween.bsky.social has been doing valuable work (I think: I’m never 100% I grasp all the US distinctions between types of university).

If Zelensky went in there anticipating this kind of bullying, and I think he might well have, then given what we're seeing now he's a fucking diplomatic genius, and given how well he's done so far to support his country's war effort I'd say we have solid evidence for it.

It’s why the word ‘hallucinations’ in relation to gen AI is misleading. When humans hallucinate, it’s because something’s misfiring in our brains. AI hallucinations are not a mistake. The system is doing exactly what it was intended to do. That’s why they can’t fix it, because it’s not broken. 13/
