It is so simple, what happened to Trump, and probably hundreds of other politicians for over a century

People asked me why Germany's @spdde@twitter.com is so obsessively blocking and delaying help for Ukraine...

Well, in the last 20 years the russians invited EVERY male SPD politician to russia for conferences, events, ceremonies, etc. and the russians paid for it all... and all these

Bulgaria has been at pains over the course of Russia's invasion of Ukraine to stress that it is not arming Kyiv.

But an investigation by German daily WELT reveals how Sofia rescued Kyiv with vital supplies at a critical juncture of the fighting last year. https://bit.ly/3XAWNrV

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and one of the largest individual donors in US politics, just referred to Greta Thunberg as part of the “autistic children’s brigade” in his Oxford address.

This thread is worth reading to capture the German "Green" mindset.

Especially given that the German Green party is a part of Germany's governing parliamentary coalition. https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1614548797102645248

This is not an issue with untrue statements by now, it is personal and corporate identities that are formed around disinformation

RT @fchollet@twitter.com

The two most widespread cognitive biases in tech are overconfidence and oversimplification. And nowhere are they as perfectly expressed as in the posture "we'll get to AGI within 5 years by scaling up deep learning".

@Michael_J_Black@twitter.com The thing is such systems require huge amounts of data (big data is not enough). The huge amounts needed can not be accumulated with commercial means, they need to include public domain, copyleft and other loose licensing. An copyleft is problematic for proprietary

I've been frustrated, depressed and alarmed at this "what's wrong with Russians for not rising up" debate, which I find dishonest, venal and dangerous. Since it's not going away, I took a stab at it. With lots of personal stories from Russia and beyond.⬇️

I know I publish too many papers. But some of my colleagues publish 100 papers a year: e.g. https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=1GQSnmwAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate and there are assistant professors who publish >50. Seems widespread (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06185-8) Is this a good development? How do people even do that?

The current climate in AI has so many parallels to 2021 web3 it's making me uncomfortable. Narratives based on zero data are accepted as self-evident. Everyone is expecting as a sure thing "civilization-altering" impact (& 100x returns on investment) in the next 2-3 years

“The essence of bullshit is not that it is false but that it is phony. In order to appreciate this distinction, one must recognize that a fake or a phony need not be in any respect, apart from authenticity itself, inferior to the real thing. What is not genuine may not also be defective in some other way. It may be, after all, an exact copy. What is wrong with a counterfeit is not what it is like, but how it was made.”
