Immerhin kannten deutsche Medien seit Wochen kein anderes Thema mehr, als die drohende Übernahme eines deutschen Landtags durch Rechtsradikale - der ersten seit 1945. Ironie off. Der neue AfD-Landtagspräsident Rausch wird übrigens ab jetzt auch Gedenkveranstaltungen anleiten. Nie wieder war gestern.

Es ist so bezeichnen für die sogenannte bürgerliche Mitte, dass Jews euch jetzt in Interviews erklären müssen, dass es Antisemitismus nicht nur bei Linken gibt, sondern in allen Parteien. Wie abgefuckt ihr seid. Wie peinlich. Wie lustvoll. Wie aufgehetzt. Wie dankbar für diese Gelegenheit.

Jetzt in die Gesichter derjenigen in den Medien blicken, die nach ihrem tagelangen, öffentlich zelebriertem Meltdown diese Worte von Antisemitismusforscherin Schüler-Springorum lesen. Ob man nun versteht, wie sehr man sich für machtpolitische Zwecke hat missbrauchen lassen? Ob man daraus lernt?
Zitatekachel RBB24:

„Antisemitismus gibt es in allen Parteien. (...) Ich sehe hier eine überzogene Diskussion, bei der es offensichtlich auch darum geht, die Regierungsbildung in Berlin zu beeinflussen. Es ist aus meiner Sicht jedoch gefährlich, das Thema Antisemitismus in dieser Weise zu instrumentalisieren.“

Die FAZ hat einen ganzen Text zum Remigration, wo mehrfach der Begriff "kulturfremd" (in Anführungszeichen) verwendet, ohne irgendwo zu kontextualisieren, dass das rechtsextremer Begriff ist, der ganz bewusst an den NS-Begriff "artfremd" angelehnt ist. Auch das ist Versagen im Umgang.

! EMNLP has a 15% acceptance rate this year, down from the usual 20-22% Seems like an appropriate response to the wave of slop Of course, the real problem is contending with the submissions, and I still feel we‘re being too conservative in our thinking there
This year, we received an unprecedented 17669 submissions. We accepted 2719 as Main Conference papers and 2533 to Findings of the ACL. This represents an acceptance rate of 15.4% for Main Conference papers and 14.3% for Findings papers.

I have been thinking about why I like reading, especially research papers, when I can reach for an LLM summary. I want more than a summary of the paper. I want an interpretation. To be more precise, I want my interpretation of the paper. See more: svivek.com/writing/2026...

Nature did a short piece on our preprint about how LLMs will affect the practice of science; my more detailed thread is below.
nature.com
Scientists using LLMs will ‘do more, less well’, modelling study predicts
Research suggests that the combination of incentives to publish and the use of large language models will lead to more papers, but they will be less refined.
