I am presenting a poster at these three #ICML2022 workshops (Fri. & Sat.) titled “Are We Viewing the Problem of Robust Generalisation through the Appropriate Lens?” If you’re attending and that sounds interesting, please drop by!

My issue with the “never make a kid hug if they don’t want to” discourse is that as well as bodily autonomy, kids need to learn about social obligations & the importance of being kind even when you don’t feel like it. Being taught that your feelings are what’s most important just

Studenten mögen eine naive Sicht auf die Welt haben, sich hölzern ausdrücken, unstrategische, verbalradikale Forderungen aufstellen – all das gehört zu der Lebensphase dazu. Entsetzlich sind nicht die Proteste selbst, sondern die Kriegsverbrechen, wogegen protestiert wird.

Woher eigentlich diese komische antideutsche Psychose ständig eine globale Solidaritätsbewegung die in Deutschland überproportional aus Migranten besteht zu diffamieren indem man ihren deutsche Namen gibt, vor allem wenn die selbst die kleinbürgerlichsten deutschen Namen tragen

to be clear scolding random voters for not falling in line rather than using one’s platform to pressure the most powerful person on earth to do The Obvious Right Thing is 100% anti-politics, it’s saying people can’t change anything. THIS—make no mistake—is the height of nihilism

Just stopped @AnthropicAI's Claudebot from completely ddos'ing a site with a large phpbb forum. Seriously uncool to be that aggressive with data-collection for your LLM.
