This week, we were discussing the central question Can we "predict" a word? as the basis for statistical language models in our #ISE2025 lecture. Of course, I wasx trying Shakespeare quotes to motivate the (international) students to complement the quotes with "predicted" missing words ;-)

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely...."

Well, seems that #AppleIntelligence has been a train wreck as #Siri was in its time.

There is hope for a quick turnaround? I don't think it will take months, but years. Until it happens, #Apple will remain very far beyond the rest of the pack: #ChatGPT, #Claude, #Copilot, #Gemini, you name them.

Why do we write, anyway? I believe that the main reason a human should write is to communicate original thoughts. To be clear, I don’t believe that these thoughts need to be special or academic. Your vacation, your dog, and your favorite color are all fair game. However, these thoughts should be yours: there’s no point in wasting ink to communicate someone else’s thoughts. In that sense, using a #languagemodel to write is worse than plagiarism. https://claytonwramsey.com/blog/prompt/ #AI #education #writing

Next step in our NLP timeline is Claude Elwood Shannon, who already laid the foundations for statistical language modeling by recognising the relevance of n-grams to model properties of language and predicting the likelihood of word sequences.

Researchers from the NeuroAI Laboratory, led by Martin Schrimpf, have developed the first AI language model that mimics the organisation of the brain: it captures both how neurons are arranged and how they function.

Sam Altman announces OpenAI will release a powerful new open-weight language model with advanced reasoning in the coming months. Major leap for AI! #OpenAI #SamAltman #AI #LanguageModel #ArtificialIntelligence #TechInnovation #AIResearch #Reasoning

#Mistral has unveiled Mistral Saba, a language model specifically designed for Arabic-speaking regions. This development signifies a significant step towards inclusive AI, emphasizing the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity in technology.

Key Features:
Cultural relevance - Mistral Saba is tailored to understand and process the intricacies of Arabic dialects and cultural contexts, ensuring more accurate and meaningful interactions.

Enhanced applications - By prioritizing regional specifics, this model is set to improve AI-driven services such as customer support, content creation, and educational tools within Arabic-speaking communities.

I believe tools like ChatGPT or Large Language Models are great for lawyers.

It's not about being lazy, but rather help them remember or double check they're right, instead of letting the "AI" work for them.

I want an IDE that plugs into an #AI of my choice, reads the code base, and gives me extensive auto-complete on what I’m trying to do next.

Make my 15 min task into a 15 sec one.

But... seems that the card is for people who CAN spend a $2,000.
