Despite their ability to solve some of the world’s most complex math problems, AI chatbots regularly get basic facts wrong. Can they learn to say “I don’t know?” on.wsj.com/4aTv2me

Regulating AI only if technically feasible? What if someone wants to build a nuclear plant in the middle of Paris and argues it's not technically feasible to ensure its safety? – Stuart Russell w/ Yoshua Bengio, Dawn Song (Berkeley), Irakli Beridze, Head AI, UNICRI, United Nations (UN), Xue Lan

Why am I not seeing more outcry on the brutal assault on DEI in the US? The queer community is the first target of authoritarian regimes (or worse). This is the time to show your support even if you feel pressured not to (in which case you have already lost freedom of speech). 🏳️‍🌈

I think the only academic community largely left on X is ML/AI, right? Even Econ Twitter seems to have mostly gone. BlueSky captured a bit, but most seem to leave public social media. Fewer papers & deep discussions now. (If you think this is a good thing, it definitely isn’t)

Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work, reports Paddy Jack timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-domina…
