In principle I think it can be also a part of bigger discussion of negative influence of LLMs on social media discourse both from private individuals and state actors

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 10h

Agree, but again I am not 100% sure that running inference is more resource optimal the simply using closed sourced model via API from burner accounts (hence why Russia uses it for propaganda and even military stuff)

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah looks that way definitely, have seen someone put it in the pangram and it shows that it is 100% AI generated

If anything this blog post from OpenAI for example I much more detailed and insightful openai.com/index/disrup...

It would be interesting to see proper research on the effects of these attacks on Kremlins internet disinformation campaigns But posting some random graphs without any sources really doesn't contribute much

I will be the first person to celebrate lack of russian disinformation campaign on social media, but I beg people to start using some critical thinking : "Bot traffic" mainly refers to bot crawlers that Yandex used

It is actually incredible that most likely USA will achieve AGI before actually paying their service industry workers a livable wage

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I believe OpenAI produced during latest release is actually equivalent of slop code Like yeah, most of it might work, but it is not a sustainable way of doing mathematics (or any kind of science) that is heavily dependent on previous knowledge being carefully verified

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yes actually that is very good point, compare recent spam attack vs how they published Unit distance proof - nice popular science blog, video, paper and accompanying papers (much better written with clear references and acknowledgements to human ideas and part work that lead to the breakthrough)

*I am actually shitposting, I don't actually believe LLMs will *solve mathematics*, I don't really understand what people even mean whey they say *solve mathematics*

How I imagine Linear Algebra professors right now telling students that matrix multiplication is about to solve mathematics :

And it actually prompted meaningful discussions after the debate, which was nice I think But title definitely was quite rage baiting))

000

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

From what I understand this debate was inspired by changes in the industry and the organizers just went with hotter title to attract people In reality @annarogers.bsky.social and @sunelehmann.com argued more about how PhDs might change with AI and how to keep it meaningful

On one of my uni courses, they give extra points toward the grade for completing mini-projects, but you have to post them in the Microsoft Teams chat I decided that I don't need those extra points so badly to willingly use Microsoft Teams......

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

And with such attitude towards it from (former) OpenAI math folks, I don't thing it will change any time soon

000

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

While OpenAI release is quite impressive... There gotta be a better way to share math research the dumping it like a slop on GitHub, like what are we doing seriously

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The faster we can get to this (or some other form of legal certainty around usage of copyright work for training) - the more opportunities we will have towards more democratized AI, where people can share data and findings freely and improve on each other's work bsky.app/profile/tedu...

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Though it is not really I agree that one can use open weights model like Qwen/GLM/Kimi/Deepseek that captures most of the pre-training data sufficient for above average local intelligence But the problem is that the data itself is not accessible - one can not *legally* train really good LLM

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Like it doesn't affect me, but it is just simply incredibly dumb decision Denmark was quite unattractive before for international students, but they have decided to completely give up on any advantages that it had over Germany/Sweden etc

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yes this post was inspired by that! (also stealing this feature for OCR eval)

When you look at the professors website trying to understand cold-emailing instructions :

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

My radical suggestion - if data for the model is not open source we should assume by default that benchmarks are contaminated and model performs worse then numbers suggest

111

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Anyways - we are slowly going towards 100M open tokens for Faroese I just wish we could make more impact

020

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

And like I am not even sure what is being gained from this obsession with copyright- OpenAI/Anthropic/Google are not paying for this data - they will just scrape and and will train on it and their models will get better in Faroese

130

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The thing that drives me crazy - there are probably >1B fairly open tokens for Faroese out there (based on my scraping of the government/municipality websites + data from scientific journals etc) But we just can't release it, because majority of it is not covered by copyright exception law

I am not arguing on what counties should spend their budget, how pure intentions of those who apply for asylum are - these are completely separate valid discussions to have

010

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I think we just misunderstanding each other, my point from the start was - *successful* asylum application in 2026 is much harder to achieve then *succesful* work/study visa application Yeah of course I agree there are people who are trying to exploit It

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Wow that is very beautiful 😻

Any suggestions how to make ass hurt less ? Bike shorts/better seat ?

200

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Regardless of which is true, my point is that in my opinion obtaining asylum now is certainly not easier for average person then obtaining work visa (at least in Scandinavian countries)

200

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It is extremely hard to obtain asylum now (maybe during recent years the policies became much stricter because people were "abusing" it before or just because of the general anti-immigration sentiment in the society that is fueled by right wing trying to blame immigrants for economic crisis) ->

200

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ok I mean people can try and claim asylum but it doesn't mean that it would be approved I don't want to argue through AI (especially because I am not in the context of UK and Colombian immigration) but from my experience of talking to dissidents from Russia in Nordics ->

200

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ok to be fair I got used to it and objectively even if I got hit it probably won't be fatal But it is still a bit amusing to observe tourists who come from less bike friendly countries

010

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I actually not very triggered, just stating my experience (or experience of my friends) no worries 🤗

010

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ok EU countries is unnecessary generalization, lets phrase is like migration authorities of Scandinavian countries

011

Vladimir Salnikov @v4ldelund.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Like yeah of course I agree that "high skilled" immigrant path is unnecessary hard, but it doesn't come even close to how EU countries are treating asylum seekers A
