Pleased to note my Cambridge lecture on how technical approaches to the right of explanation have gone haywire in the LLM era, is already up!

I discuss the spread of legal mandates of explanations of algorithmic decisions but at same time increasing unreliability of explanations offered by "reasoning" LLMs. Chain of Thought not = explainability!!

Many thanks to @CIPIL who um may not be here? And to @jennifercobbe@someone.elses.computer for her v kind invitation!

@dansinker@omfg.town @robpennoyer@masto.ai please stop ending descriptions of Masto w "Just like email." 99% of ppl (a) do not think abt how email works and (b) if they do don't think it's anything like Masto.

@dansinker@omfg.town I said this c Musk Stage 1 to anyone who would listen but it seems like non evil ppl with a few tens of millions to throw at a centralised Twitter clone were thin on the ground weeks ago? If it was French we could just have nationalised it, sigh

@wijsgerig@mas.to it never even OCCURRED to me to like posts on Twitter to boost the algorithm ( as opposed to please the poster) & I still find it utterly bizarre that this was apparently what ROW was doing. Weirdos.

@rachelcoldicutt@mastodon.social @cfiesler@hci.social @alex@dair-community.social I asked my disambiguation qu cos tho I'm v aware of fandoms, and podcasts, and fandom podcasts, I'm not sure exactly what you're describing is a thing - that kind of niche admiration used to be tremendously Tumblr - not sure where that outlet went. Cabin Pressure ( if u don't know it, u shld!) has an annual convention - many have live audience recordings - but yeh not grassrootsy my pal @bohemiancoast might have ideas let me locate her .
