On entend beaucoup parler de chatGPT ces temps-ci, évidemment. Mais savez-vous d'où vient l'architecture algorithmique qui alimente ce type de chatbots? C'est ce que j'ai tenté de retracer lors d'une conférence récente @unil.bsky.social, à découvrir ici: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW6j...

AI madness still going strong, damn 🤦 To ward off lame conventional reflections on intelligence, autonomy, or singularity, more important than ever to (re)read Tommaso Venturini's thought experiment on Latour x AI 👊 tecnoscienza.unibo.it/article/view...
