@kareem_carr Well, the hardest part of that is defining (or often redefining) what best even means, for you, for that task, at that moment. Efficiency? Quality? Effort? Opportunity cost? Most folks default to defining 'best' as "the choice that means thinking least about what 'best' means."

@talirezun @emollick @photomatt Yes but, the uneven attention given (material at the beginning and end of the context window is attended to more strongly) means that the *order* you feed the material to the AIs maw will strongly affect the results.

@emollick An observation: the second and eighth literature strands might combine interestingly; what if there is a "Jevon's Paradox" style law that states that "as research productivity declines, this drives the employment of more researchers" which holds across technological trends?

@AlphaSignalAI This is "just" a formalization that CS-related fields have been heading towards. Papers more and more often come with code for the implementation AND code to reproduce the claims. Negative results (AKA "dead ends") aren't incentivized in the same way, but that's shifting as well.

@andrewmccalip When you motivate the user with actual money that varies by the ad spend (as opposed to, say, loot boxes in a game or other non-fungible incentives), you're giving them a HUGE reason to lie. Watch out for whether some demographics become overrepresented.

"Israel's future will be decided by people who refuse to let hate run their lives" The day after an Arab Israeli terrorist carried out a shooting spree in central Israel, killing 1 and wounding 5, Arab Israeli human rights activist Somaya Bashir is speaking out. She condemns terrorism, calling for zero tolerance. She warns that terrorists want to make Jews hate Arabs and Arabs lose faith in Israel. She refuses to let that happen. The Free Palestine activists in London and New York say terror is just "resistance". A woman they claim to represent condemns it in no uncertain terms. What does she know that they don't?

I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go. I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is. As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision. As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government. I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do. I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do. I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do. I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do. I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do. The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist? Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world. Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish. Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish. Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives. Jew hatred.

@OfficialLoganK @fsfarimani @GoogleAIStudio Workspace Studio only supports creating a task (no task editing, no triggering a flow start from task creation or modification), is the GAI Studio integration more capable in that regard?

Another voice from history has fallen silent. 🕊️ Eva Schloss, Auschwitz survivor, Holocaust educator, and tireless guardian of remembrance, has passed away at 96. Born in Vienna, Eva fled with her family to Amsterdam, where they became neighbors and friends of the Frank family. In 1944, betrayal led to their arrest and deportation to Auschwitz. There, amid unimaginable horror, she and her mother endured starvation, exhaustion, and brutality. Her father and brother were murdered just days before liberation. Devastated yet resolute, Eva refused to let the dead be forgotten. Instead of silencing her pain, she chose to speak—through books, lectures, and as co-founder of the Anne Frank Trust UK—ensuring future generations understood the consequences of hatred and indifference. With her passing, we lose one of the last living witnesses to Auschwitz. As that generation fades, the responsibility to remember falls more heavily on us. Eva carried unimaginable grief with extraordinary courage, not to dwell in the past, but to protect the future from repeating it. Rest peacefully, Eva. After a lifetime bearing witness for humanity, may you now find the peace that was once stolen from you. 🕊️

Hmm. But you still need thumbnails, so, what...? Make them intentionally "worse" so they look like a human made them, or make them "better" so they look like a human made them?

Teenagers have started calling AI art "boomer art" and consider it cringe, and YouTubers have stopped using AI-generated thumbnails because teenagers find them cringe and won't click on them. I honestly couldn't be happier.
