In a few hours I will leave Switzerland. Even after working six years as a postdoc, I wasn't allowed to get unemployment benefits and an extension of my permit. Many mistakes were done in the process. If you are non-EU postdoc without a new job, please read this thread 🧵. 1/

Oh wow! PLoS, Springer, frontiersin and NPR!

1/ First, the complaint clearly lays out the claim of copyright infringement, highlighting the 'access & substantial similarity' between NYT's articles and ChatGPT's outputs. Key fact: NYT is the single biggest proprietary data set in Common Crawl used to train GPT.

We need to stop obsessing about the perceived shortcomings or virtues of individuals. The relevant changes in human society are systemic. Individuals rise or fall in that system. If it's not one of them, it'll be another. The real stories aren't Trump or Thunberg or Musk, the real story is the system that made those people rise to popularity and power. This is why AI is such an important development -- it's a systemic change, and a huge one at that. Trump too should be seen as a symptom of a disease and not a cause. It's partly a problem specific to the US American financial and political system, but partly he is symptomatic of a general problem with democracies that they're too slow and unresponsive for modern times. Thunberg was a condensation seed at the right place at the right time for a community that was looking for a focus. If it hadn't been her, it'd have been someone else. It makes no sense to psychoanalyse and complain about people in those positions, it'll not make any difference in the grand scheme of things. xitter.cf/wallisweaver/status/17…

Elon worries about AI destroying humanity. But with his intelligence, money, power, and poor impulse control, he is a much larger and more immediate threat to humanity.

In some places there are memorials, such as this beautiful sculpture in the city of Göttingen in a plaza where the synagogue used to be. 2/

The trouble with society is that the most reasonable people are also the most quiet.

En México, estamos viviendo el desabasto de muchos medicamentos psiquiátricos y el acceso a la atención en salud mental es desigual, pero a los arrastrados y paleros del gobierno les parece bien contribuir al estigma con tal de desacreditar a un opositor.
Cuidado! Loret se mete clonazepam! Al ver el video que Rafael Loret de Mola subió a su canal, denunciando el supuesto robo que sufrió en su casa de Tlaxcala, hay varias cosas que saltan a la vista. Y una de ellas es una caja de clonazepam que se observa en el buró de su habitación. Cabe subrayar que el clonazepam es un medicamento que actúa sobre el sistema nervioso central. Los especialistas aseguran que el clonazepam puede llegar a ser adictivo e incluso causar dependencia física. Preocupa que el padre de @CarlosLoret use esta clase de medicamento, porque los especialistas también advierten que su consumo puede producir alteraciones cognitivas, somnolencia, ataxia, alteraciones de personalidad y del comportamiento, hiperactividad, inquietud, agresividad, reacciones psicóticas, hipersalivación, leucocitopenia, exacerbación de las crisis epilépticas y síntomas de abstinencia. Más que sus “argumentos”, el señor Loret debería cuidar los chochos que se toma.

Errata: Turns out that Nassim did mention Jews in his thread. After politely engaging him on political science, he blocked me and I had no access to his page. I told a friend and we got to discussing how he thinks Palestinians are a minority (which is at odds with his hypothesis that Arab Sunnis are invaders of the Levant). The friend sent me a photo capture of the thread and it was missing the part where he said Jews. For that, I apologize to everyone who read my Post above. It was an unintentional error. My argument about his anti-Israel antisemitism, shallowness on history and political science concept, intolerance to debate, all still stand.

.@lopezobrador_ Estimado Presidente! @WCKitchen está presente y ayudando! Esta tragedia es grande! Deje a ONG’s como la Nuestra sumársele a los operativos! Ya estamos ayudando desde el comienzo Igualmente…Acceso a Guerrero sin trabas…Gracias
En lugar de estar enojados por las televisiones deberían estarlo porque el plan de López Obrador es mandar a perifonear un mensaje de 10 minutos con su voz diciéndole a la gente que no acepten nada que no venga del ejército.

First time I get the cover of a magazine and it's in @Nature! Had this idea to illustrate the diversity captured by the MX Biobank across Mexico and brilliant designer @mauguz33 brought it to life inspired by indigenous Huichol art from near my home town. nature.com/nature/volumes/62…
