Uploaded my State of LLMs 2025 report for this year: magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/state-of-l... I planned to just write a brief overview, but yeah, it was an eventful year so it was impossible to keep it below 7000 words :D.

35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

When someone asks why I keep working on the open social web when normal users don't care about protocols

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Let’s go back to those 10 co-conspirators…” @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Some of them were at parties where you had 13 & 14 year-olds paraded naked… They did disgusting things. The Epstein class needs to be held accountable. Release the files.”

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

The worst part is the bit where the SCOTUS and Congress aided & abetted.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

This story came out in Verge last week that touches on some of it — and on how badly the institutions collapsed instead of defending themselves. The algorithmic titles all miss the point, but holding that aside, it at least explains some of what happened. www.theverge.com/features/839...

Those liars scammed and deluded thousands of people with their “censorship complex” hoax, feeding a victim complex and giving an online faction a boogeyman to rail against. It’s hard to explain just how much bullshit they made up. The Wikipedia article on the Twitter Files doesn’t tell the story.

Truly, the world’s most fragile little ego

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that. Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us. resonantcomputing.org

Time for the ol’ TACO…. Interesting that they seem to understand the gravity of this?
