El cacau d’or el tenien a Xina i jo no jo sabia!
Today’s the 25th anniversary of one of my favourite series. Looking forward to a new game for the Switch 2🤞🏽
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 (Switch 2)
Pokémon Edición Verde Hoja (Switch 2)
This makes me very sad, and I hope Dundee doesn’t go down that path. Universities should focus on carrying out cutting-edge research and they shouldn’t be run like a business at all (especially by people who don’t care about research)...
Yakuza Kiwami (Switch 2)
"'It helps you read 50 papers in a month rather than 50 in a year.'"
What's lost when a goal of graduate school is volume rather than careful reading? A few things.
I learned to write academic papers by learning to read academic papers and attend to their structure and authors' rhetorical moves. 🧵
Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2)
Of course, becoming Professor is better than becoming Dr. 😁
That’s a very cool achievement! I never actually managed to complete the pokedex in any of the old games 🥲
Sharing year of birth with a game series you love is great and makes you feel more attached to it, although this year is particularly painful 🥲. Happy 30th anniversary!
Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Switch 2)
An Economic Model for Compensating Data Producers One of the controversies over Copilot, related to but distinct from concerns about the model spitting out copyrighted data, is a feeling that large corporations (MSFT and OpenAl) are exploiting the open source work of developers and using it extract concentrated profits. The same could be said about GPT-3 being trained partially on fanfiction books, or for that matter about models being trained on human feedback, for which workers are paid near-minimum wage. I think this is a real and important concern, especially when considered as part of an overall trend for Al progress to concentrate wealth, increase inequality, and in the long run automate labor. Zooming very far out, what is happening macroeconomically is that distributed human labor is being used to train Al models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete. It seems like the default trajectory is for one of the following things to happen:
This older piece from Anthropic's CEO on developing a creator-compensation economic model is incredible to see. Disagree with some things, but it's fantastic to see this level of thinking at the intersection of ethics and profit.

Today I’m a little more Scottish. (There was a miscalculation with the amount of food in the hot pot lunch yesterday so we had to delay Burns haggis 1 day 😅)
All ready for the start of the semester next week. I’m looking forward to it! 😁
Today was a curry day
Happy Birthday Daniel! 🎉🎉
Bon any! 🎉
Pues si que tiene toda la pinta!
Mi spot favorito es desde el monte Hakone, aunque mi opinión está sesgada, ya que es donde mi mujer y yo nos prometimos 😁
Pues no estoy seguro, pero pienso que la hizo mi madre desde el shinkansen de Tokyo camino a Nagoya/Hikone
