#Good morning from Fisksätra. Woke early, thinking dark thoughts. Windy outside, still dark. I'm going to the research library today. What are you up to?

If an experimental physicist doesn't get an academic job, then she leaves research and goes silent. But #archaeology isn't expensive. It's been the other way around with me. A major reason that I became one of the loudest and most productive research scholars of my generation is that nobody gave me a full-time academic teaching job to keep me busy, fed and quiet. This eventually instead led to me getting an overseas research position, but not until 16 years after my viva.

"Large Artificial Model for increasing Entropy (LAME)"

"Big Artificial Delight (BAD)"

"Super Understanding Concept for Knowledge (SUCK)"

There's also the problem that if AI means "LLMs and generative algorithms", then general AI means "general LLMs and generative algorithms".

What are we going to call general AI now that the public has been taught to equate LLMs and generative algorithms with the term "AI"?

I'm 52. I sleep about 7:15 at night and nap about 0:20 in the afternoon. I feel way worse if I skip the nap than if I shorten my night's sleep by the same amount.

nostr:npub1s5ypkj66wuy9m7hfkq3666u5k8trvh3q3xe5ar3stlce4c8h8qrqn4uxc2 Igår hjälpte jag min dotter att skriva en bostadsannons, vilket ökar chansen till att hon kan flytta ihop med sin kille, vilket ökar chansen att jag får fertil avkomma! Det är dock oklart för mig om det är mänskligheten i stort som evolverar genom det här eller bara den svenska medelklassen.

#Goodmorning from Fisksätra. Today's deskwork, incorporate peer review comments into a paper for a conference volume. What are you up to?

I long for greenery, sunshine, cycling to the lake wearing only swimming shorts.

The crazy super-rich tech bro has just endorsed Alternativ für Deutschland, a fascist party that is most likely illegal under Germany's post-war constitution. Calls them the country's "saviour".

Hey Americans, imagine if #slavery had been outlawed 700 years ago and slaves were never phenotypically distinct from free people, so you ended up with a population where nobody knew how much slave ancestry they had. That's Sweden.

Good morning from the Danish-German border! Cramped conditions on the sleeper train. #trains #travel #breakfast

A much-needed night's rain has rinsed the pollen off our solar panels and refilled the barrel so we can water the garden.
