🏏🇮🇳 Most of the way into the Indian cricket team's extreme depth experimentation (they have fielded 3 IND teams, two IND-A teams, and an ROI team with very little player overlaps), here's how they have been doing: IND T20I Asiad - won Gold IND ODI vs WI - won 2-1 IND T20I vs WI - ongoing, tied […]

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

There is something to the bird's eye view. A city - Paris. Lines of wind turbines along the outer crests of Pyrenees. Deep shadows of morning light behind the hills.Fog collecting in the deep valley of a river. A village clustered on top of a hill. Solar panel fields. Perspective. A reminder […]

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

RE: infosec.exchange/@bontchev/11627148… This is like doing a speed run through ALL the `Downfall' memes.

The epitome of brand recognition. Doesn't even say the product name anywhere on the package.

Packet of chapatis in a plastic cover, with large affixed labels saying who made it and what the ingredients are, etc. Except that the word "chapati" is not mentioned anywhere.

If you work with a database and are asked to alter the table structure to comply in advance for citizenship or gender categorizations it's really important to NOT do it. "The governor is concerned about all this stuff they want us to update our record keeping so we store both gender AND […]
