X . com utzi eta BlueSky-n kontu bat irekitzea tabakoa utzi eta bapeatzen hastearen modukoa da: modernoagoa dirudizu, baina adikzio-arrisku antzekoa izango duzu, eta atzetik dagoen negozio-eredua berdina da.

Migrants using more distant, riskier departure points to Canaries after Mauritania crackdown, Red Cross finds Migrants crossing from West Africa to Spain's Canaries started using more distant - and potentially more deadly - departure points in 2025 following a crackdown by Mauritania on irregular migration, a...

As Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal clamp down on unauthorized migration, boats are increasingly leaving from much further south, in Guinea, to reach the Canary Islands.

Interesting discussion. I agree with your points, even if I think the 3rd would be less efficient considering who owns the most used social media.

Humour is a strong weapon too, memes are usually a good way to get viral. People dressing like frogs was also cool, not sure if it's still a thing.

AI has supercharged scientistsβ€”but may have shrunk science Analysis of 41 million papers finds that although AI expands individual impact, it narrows collective scientific exploration

This analysis of papers from 1980 to 2025 goes beyond LLMs, but notes one challenge that arises when research questions rely on the same tools and datasets: β€œthe adoption of AI seems to induce authors to converge on the same solutions to known problems rather than create new ones.”

We updated the plots we use to measure the open model ecosystem at
interconnects, to guide The ATOM Project, and to understand what's happening.

We have ~8 plots to summarize what's happening.

I'd like to propose the following norm for peer review of papers. If a paper shows clear signs of LLM-generated errors that were not detected by the author, the paper should be immediately rejected. My reasoning: 1/ #ResearchIntegrity

Update: the ACM DL is being updated so that author-provided abstracts are the default view again, and AI summaries are more explicitly labeled with "AI-Summary". These changes should be visible worldwide by sometime tomorrow.

Shame on the ACM. They should know better.

In fact, here's a fun exercise to the reader: How many points from the ACM's own code of ethics does this move violate?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I'm working on a piece about peer review and conference publication in AI/ML/NLP/CV, and I need YOUR help to understand how the community uses conferences and peer review in paper discovery.

"The conclusion is clear: Israel is committing these acts with the intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is committing genocide. We also found that not only is the genocide in Gaza the most documented in history, but the EU and many of its member states are failing to prevent it."
