I have been asked to find a Japanese anti-LLM expert to participate in a Japanese symposium on so-called “AI,” and I can’t find one. Internet searches turn up nothing but pro-LLM propaganda. I asked in a Japanese toot, with no luck, so now I ask on the off-chance that someone who reads English might know of a Japanese expert who could make the case against LLMs. Help! #LLM #AI @emilymbender Professor Bender, @timnitGebru Dr. Gebru, have you come across any Japanese scholars/experts writing critically about LLMs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. LLMs are being embraced with a shocking lack of criticism here in Japan.

The other day I was searching for an expert on Welsh (and found one, thank you), but today I’m looking for an expert on early Middle English (11th Century). Basically I want to translate a few lines of nursery-rhyme-esque modern English into convincing...The other day I was searching for an expert on Welsh (and found one, thank you), but today I’m looking for an expert on early Middle English (11th Century).

They are also doing important work, and deserve our support if we really want the Fediverse to be truly inclusive and not just a haven for white trans women. I’ve started a monthly donation to their Ko-fi, and I hope you will consider donating, too, if you can afford it.

Question for #German folks: Is the German in this panel correct?Question for #German folks: Is the German in this panel correct? He's supposed to be asking, “Is this my house?" He's a boy of about six. I don’t speak German, but DeepL offers about four different ways of saying this, and none of them quite match this.

Today we went to check out Shaska, a Peruvian deli near the Outer Mission.@skinnylatte Food pic, Peruvian tamales
Saw this in my timeline, misread “tamales” as “females” and thought, goodness gracious, what does Adrianna have lurking behind that content warning? -

Their admin randomly attacked me with aggressive transphobia and homophobia for, you guessed it, using the FediBlock hashtag. (Yes, this person is the admin of this instance.)

I don’t understand TikTok’s algorithm.I don’t understand TikTok’s algorithm. When switching to “Following,” it shows me huge numbers of videos by one or two of the people I follow, and in order to see videos from other people I follow, I have to go into my profile, go to my follow list, and choose them manually. They won’t show up in my timeline otherwise. I don’t like #TikTok deciding which of the accounts I follow to prioritize. And maybe I’m paranoid, but it feels like TikTok doesn’t want me to follow #Deaf #Japanese Sign Language accounts. I think 40% of the accounts I follow are Deaf #JSL accounts, yet I can’t get them to appear on my timeline! #日本手話 #手話
