ChatGPT “Edu” is the same chat model, with some greater leeway on message limits and a promise not to use the prompt data for training. It’s not meaningfully designed for education in any sense. This is just marketing for an existing general purpose product in a potentially lucrative sector.

This is nearly as good as when we got to see what a fun and legless time we would all have in the Metaverse.

It's really that bad: "...about one-third of the statements made by AI tools like Perplexity, You*com and Microsoft's Bing Chat were not supported by the sources they provided. For OpenAI's GPT 4.5, the figure was 47%" 👀😏

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

It’s good to see some solidarity in an event that’s specifically about unity. I hope more countries join this stance.

Certainly correct. And hopefully a widely adopted stance across more countries involved in #Eurovision.

I mean it's hard not to be biased about it but IRELAND HAS PRODUCED THE BEST SERIES OF THE TRAITORS!

What does this even mean

Interesting repeated use of the em-dash there, alongside the cadences familiar to anyone who has to read AI outputs a lot! Odd too to specify "exercising [his] constitutional authority" under Article 14, the one about what happens where there isn't a president! An chiall amach is an mórtas isteach?

Latest iteration (v1.5) of TOPIC citation model is here. #GenAI tools may not be relevant or warranted in many academic contexts but where lecturers assess that they are and define how, this offers a structured way for students to report on what tools they used, why, and how. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Oh yikes.

Sad news, but what a legacy. The best knowledge podcast archive there is!

the full complaint is such a difficult read. but I think it's important we confront, without flinching, what's happening here www.404media.co/chatgpt-enco...

“But regulation will stop the innovation” …

An alarming result of climate warming is that it apparently now encourages Irish spiders to grow to grotesque Australian sizes, before they wander into my house.

This would be a colossal and negligently unnecessary waste of public money in the UK. I just hope it’s only hype from OpenAI themselves to show that they have new avenues for big income to shore up their valuation, and not something getting remotely serious consideration from governments.

DCU's Dr Dónal Mulligan @donalmulligan.com and Ciarán O'Connor @ciaranoconnor.bsky.social explore the anxiety about whether we are in a bubble - and what might happen if it pops in the latest episode of their podcast 'Enough About AI'. You can listen to the full episode here: launch.dcu.ie/41lYspI

On this quarter's @enoughaboutai.com episode, @ciaranoconnor.bsky.social and I are talking about the #AI bubble, and the consequences for jobs whether it pops or not. As well as ChatGPT5, bad graphs, third devices, and whatever a "non-woke" chatbot might be.

this story is so fucking sad, and every new detail that comes out about how Meta's chatbot characters product was made is more disturbing than the last www.reuters.com/investigates...

Another triumph of making it seem like individual responsibility to take tiny symbolic actions is the solution to a massive problem contributed to by poor policy, terrible planning choices, and decisions like putting AI "at the heart of the UK Government's strategy". But Delete for Victory...

Out in the open: the US administration’s attempt to undermine the EU Digital Services Act (and other regulations) was evident. Now it has been elevated to formal policy and goal of diplomatic efforts. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

New Chappell Roan AND new Burial?!

Oh this is very good! The end chorus has a soaring Sinéad / Delores pang that will trigger intense nostalgia in old people like me, who miss the angsty vocals of the late 90s! youtu.be/woLfAvD5iXI

Do citizens want AI regulation? What do they expect from their governments? Claes de Vreese, Natali Helberger, Sophie Morosely, Nicolas Mattis, and Laurens Naudts surveyed citizens in Brazil, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the US to find out. Read more on at Tech Policy Press:

The singularity is awesome

A very happy and uplifting #Pride to the crowds assembling in #Dublin, who can enjoy the march and the day because of the hard work of brave people standing up for everyone over decades. Those marching in #Budapest and #Ballymena today are doing that same work - more power to them! 🌈

Interesting that @anthropic.com Claude’s current model still has this weird behaviour of catching itself midway through saying something ridiculous. I found a small egg in my window box and asked for likely sources. It said snails(!?) and also that rats lay eggs, before realising they don’t. #GenAI

TAKE THE TRAIN INSTEAD *YEAH*

Well visualised and reported piece from @thejournal.ie on data centres in Ireland, which it can be otherwise difficult to get concise centralised info on. investigates.thejournal.ie/data-centres

DCU's prolific @donalmulligan.com presenting on the TOPIC model for referencing/attribution of student use of Gen AI sources in their work and research. See more on the TOPIC framework at donalmulligan.com/topic #EdTech25

When will these mean artists stop to consider the fledgling cottage industry of AI, and stop demanding recognition or payment for their labours?!

Ten years later - still thankful to the people of Ireland. What a day it finally was! #MarRef www.votewithus.org/thank-you/

New episode of the Enough About AI podcast with @donalmulligan.com & @ciaranoconnor.bsky.social is out now, discussing alignment, AI being "too sycophant-y" and the risk of letting superintelligence out of the box.

YIKES. That was terrifying.

JUSTICE FOR FINLAND #eurovision

the President of the United States, everyone

Well, it's a lesser show on Saturday without Australia and Czechia in there! #Eurovision

This Malta song from 2020 was an absolute gem. Glad she gets a chance to sing it here! #Eurovision

Well, if it were up to me, none of the Big 5 would be anywhere near the bottom five this year. Easily the strongest year from them in *years*, imo. #Eurovision #Eurovision2025

The odds have been bad for Denmark, but I like this one and want it in the final. It's a bit dated and safe, but it reminds me of a fun Hera Bjork number or something. Very Eurovisiony!

France is the best of the #Eurovision big five this year! Love this one. 🇫🇷

Austria is such an impressive vocal performance but it feels too like last year's Swiss popera winner, I think. Certain to qualify. #Eurovision

eurovision going from milkshakes to dead dogs in two entries

Mo náire :( 🇮🇪 #Eurovision

WATCH NOW! The Second Semi-Final is starting and you won't wanna miss it 🙌🏻 Streaming live from St. Jakobshalle right here: www.youtube.com/live/AM9TxEJ...

Kicking off for #Eurovision semifinal two. Direct link to the spreadsheet for that one is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Interesting to see the huge push for Israel #Eurovsion votes via advertising today. Several people remarked the same to me this afternoon, and I'm getting pre-rolls on Youtube, on completely unrelated videos.
