NTS radio has been my go-to to discover new sounds for a couple of months now, I've grown to like it a lot! I always have a tab open to listen to a show in there.

quitting Spotify and streaming services in general has pushed me to reconsider my digital habits. surprisingly my music taste remains eclectic. I'm slowly working my way through Soulseek and Funkwhale (and now Symphonium, which is a lovely app to play your music on!!)
testing the new bsky update... i can't believe we can share bandcamp finds now! lovely stuff.

the AI agent ended up writing an apology and backing down… wild and fascinating stuff

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
super exciting work! can't wait to dive into this :)) congrats Iolo!!!
"This how men behave." NO IT IS NOT. Not once in my career have I offered a description of someone's appearance, nor I have I ever been asked. WTF. This dude should not be teaching. And we ask ourselves why women fall out of fields like CS, as if it is a mystery with guys like this out there

saving this to read later but it's reassuring to see that some researchers are tackling this topic!!! thank you so much for this work 🙏🏻
Deepfake pornography isn’t going away just because we are passing laws and taking down a couple of big websites.
Our new pre-print, led by @aedcv.bsky.social suggests that the sharing of this material continued to prosper even after platform and policy shocks.

these paper deadlines are NOT a joke omg... how do you guys do this....... (just submitted my first paper I think I need to take a three-day-long nap)
I understand why people like LLMs because I, too, really want this paper to be done. By which I mean, I want to “stop thinking about it,” but to do so I have to arrive at a point where the thought is *complete* rather than the point at which I am “frustrated by the challenge of completing it.”
disappointing but not surprising on many aspects alas 🫠

I've put together a list of the most helpful activities/visualizations/tools I've found for introducing students to the mechanics of LLMs (which I do every year). miriamposner.com/blog/introdu...

Best case scenario would be to forbid the models to generate such bs. Not sure how we can enforce that quickly.
It's been absolutely nerve wracking to see many young women around my age and younger be targeted by this online. Deepfake/porn has been an fastly growing issue online and it's definitely frightening as it's hard for us to understand what are the tools at hand to defend ourselves against this.
"Half of the images generated at the end of the year showed people partially denuded"
Why not actually say that, once again, women are targeted online and that *men* are calling Grok to create nude/bikini deepfakes of women?? Why not call it what it is?
Happy Christmas!!! ☘️☘️☘️
Amazing post to end the year well. This brought literal joy to my heart. If you had to get into physical fights with DSPy this year, this is for you. benanderson.work/blog/contra-...

The way forward is to invest in true open-source software and infrastructure.

Crocheted teddybear keyring. The teddybear has two black eyes and a red scarf.
On a more touching note, a student crocheted this adorable keyring for me last night, to thank me for the semester. I had to fight against the tears. It even has a little scarf!!! Too cute.
Anyways, I was really happy to give this class. Maybe I'll give it again next year. For now I'm happy the semester is over so that I can finally enjoy my Sundays again. But I'm also happy I managed to do it on top of my already full time job.
