LLMs are getting exponentially better: the pace of innovation is exciting! But let's remember that language is a limited representation of knowledge, and humans have other non-representational ways of knowing—see this piece by Jacob Browning & @ylecun noemamag.com/ai-and-the-limi… #AI

"Do you believe there is systemic racism in this country?" is among the most ridiculous questions I've ever heard. #Debates2020

Wow, glad the medical segment was so enlightening. If this was happening in another country we’d invade it. #Debate2020

The full extent of my git expertise: git clone, git pull, git add, git commit, git push—each with the most basic options. For everything else, I search the Web and I hate what I find: “This makes no sense and I will never be able to remember it.” A self-fulfilling prophecy.

O discurso do Bolsonaro não faz o menor sentido. Diz que é a favor do isolamento, mas que a culpa pelos danos econômicos do isolamento será dos governadores. Que é melhor pecar pelo excesso que pela omissão. Mas acusa os govs de pecarem pelo excesso. São palavras de um demente.

A tese de que o Adélio foi um enviado do futuro (no melhor estilo 12 macacos) para matar o Bolsonaro e impedir a destruição do país já não é mais tão absurda assim.

Eu sei que nosso presidente só fala merda, mas o que mais me incomoda é o olhar. Perdido. Débil. Incapaz. Mas acima de tudo, de um grande filho da puta.

Prioridades da bolha governista durante uma pandemia: - atacar governadores e jornalistas - causar incidente diplomático - fazer pouco caso da situação O único projeto do bolsonarismo é o de aumentar o poder o poder da família Bolsonaro, mesmo numa calamidade. É um culto.

It is sad that so many excellent conferences are currently being cancelled. Sympathy to the organizers! However, it is an opportunity to get some critical perspectives remote participation! Let's use this to identify how we can strengthen the utility/inclusivity of these options!
