Cyanide & happiness cartoon:
A - did you know that human hair and nails are made from the same kind of stuff?
A - yeah, I love science
B - I'm not sure you understand love or science
B - when you love something you don't just love the exciting and fun parts...
B - you love the boring parts just as much. People who truly love science spend their lives studying the tedious little bits as well as the big flashy facts.
B - you don't love science. You're looking at its butt when it walks by.

🤖 Ban the bad, regulate the risky, label the shady and let the rest be.

While many are the potential benefits of artificial intelligence, we need to agree to guardrails to develop AI in the #EU, reflecting our democratic values.

Last week the G7 agreed to advance international discussions on inclusive AI governance and interoperability.

We want #AI systems to be accurate, reliable, safe and non-discriminatory, regardless of origin.

@FelixSimon as long as something was deemed to be worthy of publication, I don't see how recommendations based on one's interests are bad. They could even allow people to break out of episodic reporting and gain greater context, or be better exposed to follow ups on past stories they read. I'm far more worried about how media has already pivoted to 100% clickbait headlines and the impact of that on autonomy.

@FelixSimon yeah, why is that dangerous?

@FelixSimon can you please explain the point about recommendation? Assuming we mean other texts from the same newspaper, as opposed to random posts of junk sites/Facebook?

One of my professors during PhD used to say “You can drive a truck through the holes in any given paper. So you look for what you *can* learn instead.” And being the smartass grad students we used to think driving that truck was fun. After so many years, I now appreciate her wisdom more than ever. All scholarly work has limitations but it’s refreshing when people critically evaluate what’s the actual value of the research. It's about humility, honesty, rigorous intellectual work.

Wanna see the most disingenuous y-axis ever used on a graph?

A line graph from the fed that ostensibly shows the top six countries by military expenditure. However the y-axis is actually split between left and right axis. On the left it goes between 0 and 300 billion dollars. The right side goes between 400 and 1000 billion. Every single nation (China, Russia, UK, India, and Saudi Arabi) are tagged to be using the left side axis. Only the U.S. is using the right side axis indicating it is just slightly under 800 billion dollars.

However due to the bullshit graph, it looks like China is spending significantly more than the U.S. on the military when in actuality it's at roughly 275 billion dollars.

This is the most interesting take I've seen on this debate about #ai #chatgpt in #education. Actually using the tech to help students develop their critical thinking skills! I love it.

@JuliusGoat what crimes did they commit?

@JuliusGoat maybe we're not talking about the same things. I thought you were referring to GOP congressmen who supported and aided Jan6

@JuliusGoat the consequences should have been not getting re-elected. If your voters still want these people in office, you have a different kind of problem.
