Whisper gives by far the best transcription of german language. &quot;Soziologie&quot; was trinscribed as Puzzoologie.

The crew realizes it’s AI is sick because of isolation. They try to mediate it by engaging with it. They use an „entropy bomb“, I.e. content specifically not used in AI training (think reserve antibiotics). It fails. If the ai dies, they die because the ship is so reliant. The end. Where is my black mirror episode?

Got a title for the episode: &quot;I&#39;m bored!&quot; because that is the initial statement of the AI starting off the episode. Also some steps that went bad. 1. Keeping it occupied. 2.

It ruins your apartment while you sleep. This particular dog is in charge of telemetry, Interferometry, navigation, and li...

You can&#39;t plan for these things. A frequency table for all openalex works referenced by a set of publications by a certain university alliance situated in Youknowwhere. The first is https://openalex.org/works/W4285719527 pointing at &quot;Deleted Works&quot;. An article from 1955 that has never been cited but references 45.000 works. /s ... and https://openalex.org/W2582743722 pointing at &quot;R: A language and environment for statistical computing.&quot; #teachingi...
