Last Notes npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen I can tell you are not a programmer. Writing code is not just about syntax; it is (mostly) about architecture, edge cases, and systemic logic. Furthermore, the comparison to a grammar checker misses a crucial point: linting tools are already standard practice for years. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Hahaha. #trump #belgium #usa #fifa #football #infantino npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen It also comes as #financial analysts warn that an "AI bubble" of epic proportions may be getting ready to burst. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen “Most AI tools require a huge amount of hidden labor to make them work at all. This massive effort goes beyond the labor of minding systems operating in real time, to the work of creating the data used to train the systems” npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Over four months, #llm users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen He is an idiot… npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen #zelensky #trump #putin #ukraine #uspol #russia #peace #geopolitics @npub19kr…pd8t npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The European Commission issued the first fines under its Digital Markets Act (DMA) on Wednesday, slapping #tech giants #apple and #meta with penalties for breaching the EU’s new digital rulebook. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen More hallucinations… 😂 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen #trump #trade #tariffs #xijinping #uspol #china #politics @npub19kr…pd8t npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Now would be the perfect moment to introduce Euro (sanity) bonds. Investors would be jumping on top of it. A high price (high demand) would mean a low yield. Which means that #Europe could be financing it’s re-armend, energy transition etc cheaper. Investors don’t like investing in a failed state (like the #US has become). npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen My thoughs. The US is weak. The rise of the US treasury yield was very interesting. Investors were losing confidence in the US. The mess and damage Trump has created is enormous. EU perspective: focus on increased integration and trade deals with Canada, Mexico, Asian countries. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen He can be easily manipulated by anyone. See Starmer, Macron,… npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The opposition is becoming more creative and effective. #musk #trump npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen We have to introduce European nucleair weapons as deterrence. The French have 300 non-NATO bombs. Send all conventional weapons we can miss to Ukraine. In the meantime start building our own modern army. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Would replace the #netherlands with #Poland. The Netherlands have a weak government this moment with #PVV and Poland is building a large army now. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen #trump heard about potential gains and jumped in without fully thinking it through. The real shrewd negotiator is #zelensky himself. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Zelensky has himself raised those minerals as a bargaining chip, if I'm correct. Perhaps just with the goal of drawing the #us into #ukraine ? npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen 🤢 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The #US started an ‘experiment’. Elements: uncontrolled capitalism, fascism, olicharchism, destroying their existing social contract and white male patriarch doing everything to stay in power. They are no ally of Europe anymore. We are on our own. #trump npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen A new paper from researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University finds that as humans increasingly rely on generative #AI in their work, they use less critical thinking, which can “result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved.” npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Overall, 47% of #US adults approve of how #Trump is handling his job as president, while 51% say they disapprove. And most of these views are strongly held: 37% strongly approve of his performance, while 40% strongly disapprove. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The #US has become a failed nation… 😂 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Agree, Trump II is somehow an opportunity for Europe. Remember our raw power lies currently in the fact that we are the richest and largest (in terms of purchasing power) consumer market in the world. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Pff. The same argument holds for the discovery of the atomic bomb. 😂 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Progress… 🤔 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen 🤦♂️ npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen I wouldn’t use an invalidated tool like this if I want anything more than a very high level “flavour” of information. And definitely not use it in an high impact/risk setting. #ResponsibleAI npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Your last claim is a bit too bold for my taste. Personal experience doesn’t really count as evidence. Can you refer us to some research specifically testing this feature (#hallucinations are a feature of #LLMs)? #AI #hype npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen I disagree. I think organizations are desperately in need of specialized LLMs based on their own (private) proprietary data (instead of public data sets only). Like I said before, the clippy on steroids solution has proven to be no game-changer. Although it was fun to watch and play with. I actually observe an industry wide shift from “brute force” towards specialization… npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen LLMs trained on proprietary data can be a game changer. LLMs trained on the entire internet are a gimmick. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen I don’t think that you understand that massively using something (and doing a lot of PoC’s and pilots) doesn’t equal deriving strategical meaningful impact from (proprietary) data. Even with ‘classical’ #AI the impact at most organizations is still relatively limited. 😉 Real value lies in truly understanding your #data. Organizations owning high quality data (and actually understanding their data) will probably be the ones getting real value out of #LLMs. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Is that really an argument since everyone is still betting on the limited (truly impactful) success of LLMs (at this point). 😂 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Yes. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The growth in LLMs from training on larger datasets and parameter count increase has reached its peak… npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen The evolution of the #AI ‘expert’… 😂 npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Why should we as Europeans care about the fact that they are about to ruin their economy and governmental institutions? We should only care about the international fallout of the MAGA madness. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen You don’t seem to understand the point here? For classification problems, accuracy is usually not a reliable metric. 😄 If I have a dataset with 99 negatives and 1 positive, I can easily make a model (let’s call it an AI 😂) with 99% accuracy. I am interested in other metrics. npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Accuracy is not always a good measure for evaluating classification models, especially when dealing with (very) imbalanced datasets. 😉 Any details on that: cancer vs no cancer? Other metrics? F1 score? Phi score? npub1wqutrkxkhg7hyq3hhvsaev58taxjwlftvh3sr9djefyn0h6ujpgsjttxvh Jürgen Yeah, right… 😂 Note that we have put people on the moon with a 4 kb RAM computer…
