I like cats. Bleet is a better name than skeets. I would love a world without TESCREALs EAs and Fascists, please, thank you. This account is mostly in English except when French politics is going awry (might be often).
En lien avec mon précédent bleet: Adrian de Wynter tacle la question "l’ia’ est-elle consciente ?" en reproduisant un LLM dans Age of Empire (avec des chèvres) et en démontrant que c’est l’usage du langage naturel qui crée l’illusion de parler à un "être". www.404media.co/if-ai-is-sen...

Le guide de la linguiste Emily Bender pour ne pas anthropomorphiser l’"IA" (version FR). A l’usage des journalistes et du discours quotidien: Intelligence artificielle → automatisation probabiliste Intelligence hybride → intelligence humaine augmentée 1/5
Emily M. Bender@emilymbender.bsky.social · 3mo agoAre you annoyed with the anthropomorphizing language being used in the "AI" discourse, but not sure how to talk about this stuff without it? @nannainie.bsky.social and I have got you covered: buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...
🔴 ALERTE 🔴 Mon article sur Ruffin des Bois est disponible ! "Le peuple et moi. François Ruffin cinéaste" : sur les ambiguïtés et contradictions d'un Robin des Bois de notre temps ➡️ rdli.fr/articles/essai/le-peuple-et-moi-francois-ruffin-cineaste
La seule chose positive de l’IA, c’est que ma mauvaise orthographe n’est plus un défaut, mais la preuve que j’écris tout ce que poste
Ok, donc Ruffin décide de copier Bernie Sanders et d’avoir une "conversation" avec l’IA d’Anthropic. La démarche était idiote (et déjà largement critiquée) pour Bernie, alors on va expliquer pourquoi c’est tout autant idiot ici:

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
Can we skip April fools this year ? It’s exhausting enough to filter the constant barrage of nonsense already.
mild take: we're watching silicon valley get very excited about their tools in the same way a guy with a huge wall of ryobi stuff thinks his collection is more important than what he does with the tools
This is how disciplines die. Now that Sociology courses don't count for GenEd credit, far fewer students will take them, let alone choose Sociology as a major. And so, Sociology department budgets will shrink, meaning fewer faculty and fewer courses offered. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
Florida bans sociology from core curriculum at state universities
For years, Republican lawmakers and education leaders have argued that sociology — especially high-enrollment introductory courses — has been overtaken by progressive ideology

Karl!@justestin.bsky.social · 7mo agoOne of my favourite bars was closed down and declared a crime scene. For having posters in their front window. So much for freedom of speech.
Right now people are using this trick to change what AI tells you about topics as serious as medial questions and financial advice. The problem is ENORMOUS Experts like like @lilyray.nyc say this is a problem the tech industry has know about forever, they just didn’t work on it til it was a crisis
(Je pique le calcul de la vidéo de TC ci dessous): Il suffirait de remplacer ~55% des champs utilisés pour produire des agro-carburants par des fermes solaires pour couvrir l’intégralité des besoins électriques du pays Donc l’argument du "ça gâche des terres" est faux.
