Cognitive science meets robots. No longer using this account, find me on the blue place instead.

@nencki @MaryemeOuafoudi I feel like half the replies and retweets don’t get this. Tells you a lot about that half of replies and retweets though.

@o_guest It does get brownie points for remembering that Luxembourgish is also a language for once, but the correct word is “Schnéi” (schéi means pretty 😉)

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

@ZachWeiner You must keep stats on what sites SMBC visits come from - I’m wondering what that looks like recently wrt twitter vs bsky vs mastodon

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

@rogerkmoore Also, people running chatGPT on <insert favourite robot here> are a dime a dozen. I don’t see much of value down that road but even if there is some, this certainly isn’t it.

Cool thread for showing that not all USB-C cables are created equal, in case you didn't already know.

[Jon Bruner @JonBruner]

What’s inside Apple’s $129 Thunderbolt cable? We CT scanned one to find out, and compared it to some cheaper cables… 🧵

@mjdramstead or, you know, we can leave them to their shenanigans and relocate to the blue place 😉 though part of me feels like driving people away is what all these changes are actually about - I just can’t figure out why.

We've released annotated slides for a talk titled "Evaluating LLMs is a minefield". Current ways of evaluating chatbots/LLMs don't work well, especially for questions about societal impact. There are no quick fixes. More research is needed. w/ @sayashk 🧵https://t.co/6ZUh850wx3

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

@LucaAmb I would argue that, for talking science, the Blue place is quickly becoming the place to be. Plus it doesn't need you to filter out promoted content and endless crypto ads.

Language models are so broadly useful that it's easy to forget what they are: next-word prediction systems

Remembering this fact reveals surprising behavioral patterns: 🔥Embers of Autoregression🔥 (counterpart to "Sparks of AGI")

@AnnaCiaunica Find me once you get there 😊

Alexa, Siri and the other bots hanging out in the server break room again

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

Very happy to be part of this once again. Awesome school in an awesome location!

[Alessandra Sciutti @alefreedot]

The #HRI Summer School just started, with a focus on the role #robots have in transforming #human - human #interaction. Lots of interesting people, discussions and robots in a special scenery in an abandoned quarry in Poland!

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

@rogerkmoore See you soon!

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

@TonyBelpaeme The interesting question is why someone who evidently doesn’t know anything about actual robotics was even reviewing the proposal.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I consider it a personal triumph that we are back in the Horizon programme! I bravely overcame all the obstacles that we created ourselves, to finally secure exactly what we had before, but with no say or input into how it’s run.

[Katie Winkle @KatieJWinkle]

We're hiring again at @USR_Lab! Postdoc assoc. with EU project, topics inc. robot transparency, multimodal interaction, algorithmic fairness and gender-sensitive design. Need to have or be *very close* to having PhD! https://t.co/ocL1U9J8Cs

@IrisVanRooij @ira_hyman If we can go outside Philosophy, then Barbara Liskov springs to mind in Computer Science for the Liskov Substitution Principle.

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

... and with that, you can now find me at the other place under @ thill ....

[Serge Thill @SergeThill]

So, anyone got any of those blue place invites they‘d be happy sharing with me?
