After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

asking for help: this morning I've seen a post promoting the release of a new, large, and curated dataset which *could* be used for LLM training and MT. What I remember is: it was a version 3 and it was the outcome of an EU funded project (and it was not OpenLLM Europe) - anyone?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

De nieuwe minister van OCW. Hij heeft les gegeven dus vindt zichzelf uiterst geschikt voor deze baan. Aangezien het vooral op de winkel passen wordt zou ervaring in de detailhandel waardevoller zijn geweest.

Interesting analogy with countering right-wing anti-climate narrative. To counter it need a positive narrative of our own, not just refute it. A bairer, cheaper, cleaner more profitable future with more jobs and more nature is hard to argue against.

what this means it that we don't have a good mental model of how different steps in the LLM generation process depend on each other, and what are the causal relations that make it tick. which in turn means that LLM's explanations might be "transparent", but also that we fail to interpret them.

the test is very simple: given an AI reasoning text broken into steps, we highlight one step as the target, and then ask you to identify the one-out-of-four preceding steps that we choose, which, if removed, will change the target step. turns out this is really hard.
