EU must rewrite the AI act completely and put all effort and funding into building its own foundational model. Otherwise, permanent irrelevance.

A fine litmus test on whether to mute someone on Twitter: if they get excited about the latest UFO stuff, there’s no reason to read their tweets on any other topic either. The prevalence of gullibility is staggering.

Remember, UFOs were the very essence of a “conspiracy theory.” The term was practically invented for it. People who spoke out were ridiculed and their careers destroyed. Our government did that.

As long as the only piece of news you’re interested in when you wake up in the morning is the weather forecast, you’re doing ok.

R.I.P. Juha.
Paused at the old Töölö Hospital today to reminisce about the many interesting years spent here learning the kung fu of neurosurgery under prof Juha Hernesniemi

Kudos to Gelje Sherpa for his heroic act! When faced with a choice between personal glory and a fellow climber's safety, he unhesitatingly rescued the Malaysian climber from the treacherous height of #Everest near Balcony (~8300 m). His act of courage shines as bright as the Himalayan sun.

Mallin lentokentän tuhoamisen mukana tuhottiin niin elävää kaupunkia kuin luontoakin. Modernia järjettömyyttä.

Kirjoitin opesomeen kasvatustieteestä ja HS:n artikkelista:
"Olen halunnut jo pitkään saada vastauksen sille, miksi meidän arkikokemuksemme ei voi olla totta, jos se ei mahdu teoreettiseen viitekehykseen. Me elämme todellisuuttamme joka päivä."

Scientists have recorded the coldest temperature ever measured in a lab.
They attained a temperature of just 38 trillionths of a degree above -273.15 °C. This achievement made the laboratory the coldest place in the observable universe. The temperature reached is the closest..1/

Terveisiä täältä Siltasairaalasta. Kuten Jyrki tuossa sanoo, Titanic on jo uponnut. Nostaminen tässä vaiheessa hyvin vaikeaa. Aloitetaan vaikka nostamalla hoitajien palkkaa heti 500 eur/kk ja aletaan sitten miettimään seuraavia keinoja. hs.fi/kaupunki/art-200000951…

Humans generally have a tendency to believe that angels have a reason to pretend to be photons
This is why remain so primitive as a species

GPT-4 is a remarkable technology but this result tells us more about the flaws of IQ tests than the “intelligence” of LLMs.
