This is a survey all #Discord users need to fill out. Discord wants to know if we want AI to run the app. It'd be using data from pictures, conversations, voice notes, live streams, art, 'learning' from us in the app if they don't get strong enough pushback.

Let them know how you feel before they ruin that app for everyone as well.

It's an official survey and it doesn't even take 5 mins. Please boost and share in your servers too.

Anyone else who has Norwegian going on Duolingo and access to a family/pro account (not for long..!) finding that the speak/listen practice hub is dead and has been for ages now?
Funny how these 'AI-first' apps all turned to shit, huh

I don't follow people with genAI avatars
Or who've very recently posted some slop uncritically

Less in my life of that, please, not more.

To my mind, LLMs/genAI is simply irredeemably ugly. It is pure brute force. There is no theory or formal framework behind it: throw enough training data at a model and you can force it to learn anything, in as far as learning means forcing the direction of guessing.

The proponents will point at all the cleverness that has gone in to the model architecture and statistical techniques, but then that goes for a nuclear weapon as well. It's still ugly.

The slides for my talk “The Anti-Dystopians’ Guide to Generative AI – for students & educators” are now on line. They are based on the guide of the same title written by Alina Utrata.

I took part in a debate at the university, 'AI in academia: embrace or resist?'

Before the debate, a poll was taken, showing that most of attendees were on the "embrace" side; after the debate, most were "resist". I had not expected we could sway the opinion, it made me very happy.

New study in Royal Society Open Science:

> In a direct comparison of LLM-generated and human-authored science summaries, LLM summaries were nearly five times more likely to contain broad generalizations (odds ratio = 4.85, 95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001). Notably, newer models tended to perform worse in generalization accuracy than earlier ones.
