« Structuralisme et intelligence artificielle », au SPHePS, avec Juan Luis GASTALDI, mercredi prochain (24 mai) de 17h à 20h. - Vous avez toujours voulu savoir pourquoi ChatGPT ça marche si bien et vous n’avez pas pensé à le demander au structuralisme? Eh bien vous avez eu tort!

I guess this is the ultimate level of intelligibility of social processes you can afford after decades of overfunding engineers and CEOs while defunding social sciences and humanities. If attention is all you need, science fiction is all you get. You can’t say we didn’t warn you

Happy to see the field openly addressing the elephant in the (Chinese) room…

One thing that seems to be happening in this forum, and in other recent special issues &c, is: humanists trying to figure out how to tell the story of their disciplines in a way that is meaningfully related to intellectual history outside the humanities.

breaking: some very strong engineers can also be super weak philosophers

@ryandcotterell Clara Isabel Meister Gianni Gastaldi @giannig.bsky.social Tim Vieira Mrinmaya Sachan Tiago Pimentel I have multiple copies of the papers, including the obnoxiously long appendices, if anyone at #ACL2023NLP is interested.

The world is burning but don't panic, AI is here to help: now it can create a video of you dancing from just a photo! Whatever the value of the underlying technology, the scientific ideology and the planetary principles driving AI research are part of current global catastrophes

Our lab will open 6 associate professor positions and 1 full professor position next year! One, maybe two, of those will concern our team’s topics: complexity, logic, programming languages, semantics, formal proofs. If interested, contact us!

As I said the other day, AI needs philosophy to rescue it from being a black box. The only person I know working in the right direction is Juan Luis Gastaldi Gianni Gastaldi @giannig.bsky.social

In NYC from Aug 19th. DM me if you’re around!

Interesting paper about the connection between LLMs and structural semantics tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
