In a few hours I will leave Switzerland. Even after working six years as a postdoc, I wasn't allowed to get unemployment benefits and an extension of my permit. Many mistakes were done in the process. If you are non-EU postdoc without a new job, please read this thread 🧵. 1/

@nntaleb @MasaSkiba Funny thing, I left academia and I am starting to learn finances. In my free time I hypothesize about models and mathematical frameworks. Usually I realize someone figured out what I was thinking before, and yes I feel flattered. In academia I would have been upset.

1/ First, the complaint clearly lays out the claim of copyright infringement, highlighting the 'access & substantial similarity' between NYT's articles and ChatGPT's outputs. Key fact: NYT is the single biggest proprietary data set in Common Crawl used to train GPT.

@skdh Please give us your honest opinion on how science is doing in these day, specifically in particle physics.

[Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh]

We need to stop obsessing about the perceived shortcomings or virtues of individuals. The relevant changes in human society are systemic. Individuals rise or fall in that system. If it's not one of them, it'll be another.

The real stories aren't Trump or Thunberg or Musk, the real story is the system that made those people rise to popularity and power.

This is why AI is such an important development -- it's a systemic change, and a huge one at that.

Trump too should be seen as a symptom of a disease and not a cause. It's partly a problem specific to the US American financial and political system, but partly he is symptomatic of a general problem with democracies that they're too slow and unresponsive for modern times.

Thunberg was a condensation seed at the right place at the right time for a community that was looking for a focus. If it hadn't been her, it'd have been someone else.

It makes no sense to psychoanalyse and complain about people in those positions, it'll not make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

@hildherlo Entre los laboratorios, la creencia de que sobre trabajar es productivo y las agencias de financiamiento se ha creado una dinámica muy tóxica. @nntaleb argumenta que la investigación va a pasar a ser un side project de gente trabajando en otras cosas (como tú con la docencia).

@SolmarVarela Entre los laboratorios, la creencia de que sobre trabajar es productivo y las agencias de financiamiento se ha creado una dinámica muy tóxica. @nntaleb argumenta que eventualmente la investigación se volverá un hobby pues muchos van a querer investigar fuera de esta dinámica.

@cgershen Maybe is a more authentic festivity, sometimes I feel people take more seriously Thanksgiving than Christmas. As if it was more sacred.
