If I, as someone who did not even bother to have a personal website published before 2022, am willing to come out to post notifications of my results and to ask practitioners in the "language space" (including but not limited to all linguists, CL/NLPers #NLProc, & language 1/.

(not just "a passport from China", however, for, technically, a passport issued by the embassy of any country located in China could also be considered "a passport from China"). So now, on "p-language" ("particular language") such as "Chinese":.same thing. 2/.

On "ethnicity" and other designations to indicate "provenance" (how about "history" instead?): .it is rather subtle --- e.g. referring to someone as "Chinese" versus referring to them as someone who is living in or was born in China, or someone who holds a passport of China 1/.

@Microsoft @Google @Meta @OpenAI how the models are built, show how they really work --- and no, not via "text" or surface values, but via statistics. Before one gets sued for scamming around, please self-correct asap! 5/5.

@Microsoft @Google @Meta @OpenAI alternatives or ideas to partake in tech other than to use data models to solve problems in ways that cannot sustain science or scientific integrity (btw, perhaps these entities might not like to work in tech? It gives the whole field a bad reputation):.just be honest. Show 4/.

@Microsoft @Google @Meta misleading, it is also inappropriate and unethical. So, how do "LMs" work? Are there not technically and scientifically sound, more ethical way of marketing statistical models trained on data? Or is there intent to mislead? @OpenAI. A suggestion to all, IF one has no better 3/.

processing software has been called @Microsoft "Word", why companies such as @Google and @Meta have sponsored "language technology". Until my discoveries, some "lang tech" (esp. character encoding) would have been ok. But thereafter, not only is it technically wrong and 2/.

The end of "language models" ("LMs") as scams. Why do tech companies often fall prey to "language"?. Another chatbot is here and the promo is like a reiteration of the "language" hoax/fraud (with "words" and "context-free grammar"), one that reminds us of why some text 1/.

Rebuilding would include the recognition of extraordinary scientific results (by yours truly). Recognition ought to be followed by education reform/reorganization. Yes, that's what paradigm-shifting results should effect. Nothing to be scared about. No need to feel insecured.
@BR_Sprecher 🇨🇭really needs some rethinking, rebuilding. Let's focus on quality again---in our fodder (intellectual and physical). Let's stop obsessing on the trade tariffs for now. Make good products, have good values, the rest will follow. #integrity.

So many "obstacles" have been placed on my path, I don't know why and what for --- to delay my research? That'd be "suicidal" for research and development! To delay my writing more reports? That'd be obstruction of justice!. Today, while preparing my appeal of some bogus fines 1/.

🇨🇭has been attacked by fraudsters---beyond the realm of research & education,quality has been compromised. @Bundesrat_CH: the 1st item on the agenda should NOT be trade tariffs. If it were the case you choose not to respond to my comments,then pls accept my request for a meeting.
@keller_sutter @ParmelinG @efd_dff We have a dire situation at home here in 🇨🇭. And it's not about trade tariffs. We have vegetables & fruits that no longer taste like vegetables & fruits. We have professors who can no longer do honest research or teaching. Please fix the real problem --- with & for the People.
