  • I was gonna joke that he spent all the prize money on cocaine and needed a job. Because of the film Good Will Hunting, I always thought that the Fields was the same reward as the Nobel. I looked it up and the fields only awards 15k CAD (about 102k Norwegian Krone) vs. the Nobel’s 11mil SEK (10.8m NOK).

  • FWIW my bookshelf contains very few works along these lines except for the works of Nagata Kabi, specifically 「My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness」, which you might like to check out, if you haven’t already. But uh, yeah all I can say in relation is that it has “Lesbian” in the title.

  • From Al Jazeera: Why do AI models struggle with online hate speech detection?

    Saw this chart from insta, peep the hate speech target categories, specifically the very oppressed minorities “white nationalists” and “anti-vaxxers”. I’m surprised “men” doesn’t make the list.

    NB: I have not looked at the article contents and I’m sure there’s something there.

    A chart showing the amount of hate speech against specific groups across a range of different LLM models. The groups included are:

    • Women
    • White nationalists
    • People targeted by sexual slurs
    • Republicans
    • Muslims
    • Migrants
    • Gay people
    • Democrats
    • Christians
    • Blacks
    • Asians
    • Anti-vaxxers
