It only feels like yesterday that #battchat was on that other site and I was being inspired to pursue a PhD in the field. Now I am already looking at wrapping up my research and finishing my dissertation and no one is in that other site anymore. How does time fly :")

My story "When You Seek a Dragon" is out on @translunartl.bsky.social today! This was one of the first few short stories I ever wrote. I was just discovering the world of short fiction then and realizing I wanted to do this more. It took a while for this be out in the world but I am glad it's here!

I remember when Miyazaki was presented a graphic design autogenerated by a LLM(not calling this nonsense “AI”) and he ripped those designers to shreds. Pretty sure him watching the latest antics would make him burn all his work forever (and he is the sort who absolutely would)

Had to collate like my entire travel history for the past ten years to make a visit visa to Canada for ECS conference. Oddly emotional seeing my visas from 2014-2025. But also, I just want to go present my work at a conference. It shouldn't have to be this hard 😭

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

80 Jahre nach der Befreiung des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz treffen diese Umfrageergebnisse mitten ins Herz: Zwölf Prozent der 18 bis 29-Jährigen kennen das Wort "Holocaust" nicht.
Geteiltes Bild mit historischer und aktueller Darstellung des Eingangs von Auschwitz-Birkenau. Links schwarz-weiß mit der Aufschrift: „27. Januar 1945 Befreiung des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz-Birkenau“. Rechts farbig mit der Aufschrift: „27. Januar 2025 Jeder zehnte junge Erwachsene kennt den Begriff Holocaust nicht.“
