Les éditorialistes qui se foutent de la gueule des lycéens et lycéennes réclamant du PQ dans les toilettes ne tiendraient pas 5’ dans les mêmes conditions. Ils ne comprennent par ailleurs rien au sujet comme d’habitude. Les toilettes dans un établissement scolaire c’est tout l’enjeu de l’intime

I don’t have just theoretical computer scientists in my feed, but also people living in the Netherlands, so the whole discussion about “there’s not enough space in NL” got a bit confusing for me.

There are no responsible uses of AI in evaluating research funding applications. Just calling it ‘responsible’ doesn’t make it so. #EthicsWashing #GenAI

Sometimes I feel the discussion on AI use devolves into: A: I'm allowed to use copy-paste! You use it all the time, right? B: I don't use it to plagiarise, reproduce sexism, or pollute the environment. A: OK, but it's useful & fast for me! And um, that's really degraded thinking on A's part.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

La répression violente du mouvement lycéen est indigne, dangereuse et doit cesser. C'est irresponsable de prendre le risque de blesser des mineurs pour lever un blocage. Les lycées bloqués ne feront jamais perdre aux jeunes autant d'heure de cours que les classes sans profs qu'ils dénoncent.

Dear @erc.europa.eu , we DO already have common standards & frameworks. 'AI' likes to pose itself as 'special' but we do not need to reinvent the wheel. We already have established codes of conduct for research integrity. We just need to apply them. See below + more resources in thread🧵
Protecting the Ecosystem of Human Knowledge: Five Principles
We must protect and cultivate the ecosystem of human knowledge. AI models can mimic
the appearance of scholarly work, but they are (by construction) unconcerned with truth
— the result is a torrential outpouring of unchecked but convincing-sounding “informa-
tion”. At best, such output is accidentally true, but generally citationless, divorced from
human reasoning and the web of scholarship that it steals from. At worst, it is confidently
wrong. Both outcomes are dangerous to the ecosystem.
Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij, Marcela Suarez, et al. (2025, n.p.)
Knowledge production is supposed to be safeguarded by (inter)national codes of conduct for research
integrity (ALLEA 2023; KNAW et al. 2018). Such codes forbid, for instance, fabrication of data,
falsification of results, plagiarism, and, generally, distortion of the scientific record. Many argue that
new rules are required to regulate academic AI use, but pre-existing guidelines fit the bill (cf. Tafani

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

I should really try to do a “semi-popular science” video about the idea behind Turing machines. I already have some slides I prepared for teaching this to both 1st year undergrads (intro to CS) and 2nd year master’s students (as “the” exemple of conventional computing before going unconventional 😊).

For instance, one of my not-so-pet peeves about CS education is the way Turing machines are almost aways introduced, as a such-and-such n-tuple of blah blah, without any historical context, intuition, or mention of the fact that this thing is actually meant to formalise pen & paper computation.

While the discussion about STEM university students not appreciating history (or not taking it at all, as in (most?) Europe, and whether they instead should) is certainly interesting, from my point of view the “urgent” problem is that often they don’t even know the history of their own discipline.
