When I grew up in Sweden in the 1990s the government distributed the book “Tell Ye Your Children”. Its purpose is to remind people how fascism, and seeing oneself as better than others can lead to inhuman evil. I think about it often and recommend you read it too.

Happy to share our work "Counterfactual Generation from Language Models" with @AnejSvete, @vesteinns, and Ryan Cotterell! We tackle generating true counterfactual strings from LMs after interventions and introduce a simple algorithm for it. (1/7) arxiv.org/pdf/2411.07180

welcome @ellis.eu! could you please extend the deadline to review #PhD applicants? 🙏 as things are now, you are giving (postdocs, senior PhD students) reviewers 5 working days to evaluate 16 (and more?) applications... otherwise reviewers will do cheap evaluations looking at the usual "metrics"
