So it’s official: I’ve joined CARVAKAS as their bass player. It’s a Progressive Death Metal band from Chile 🇨🇱 with 4 albums, and their lyrics are about Ancient Philosophy and Materialism. You can find us on Spotify, Bandcamp (support us if you can!) and most music platforms. This is from rehearsal.
On days like this, I wonder if this reality is a simulation 😂 also, it’s weird that the guy has Wikipedia pages in most languages except in English

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then, I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes,
And every one of them is a dumb idiot.

My wife was sexually harassed by Miles Hewstone as a phd student. He was still asked to review her (and other women he harassed) for jobs and promotions. This is so fucked up.
Thankfully, she and many other women testified against him and something was finally done. This is her take on his case:

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

I’ve been saying this for ages: Cognition is not made of language. Hell, the ability to use language is not made of language. Frankly, even LLMs aren’t made of language, just the outputs of language users. These systems are simply not the right kind of thing to become intelligent
Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

I often tell myself that I like having rice and fried hot dogs with mayonnaise and ketchup for lunch as a way of reminding myself of my childhood and staying humble, but in weeks like these, the truth is that I can't afford fancier meals. It hurts a lot to miss out on post-conference dinners, too.
