Five Things: Hamas, USA, Black Holes, Chatbot Hallucinations, Faster Lives
Your Sunday Morning starts here.
This week was pretty exhausting as we only had three days of work due to our national holiday on Tuesday and so we crammed five workdays into three and I was traveling for two of those three. I gave two talks on the state of GenerativeAI, which was really interesting, because people have so many and yet so different concerns about AI.
The news from Israel is really concerning and I hope that the West will strongly support Israel in pushing Hamas out of Gaza.
On a side note: I was really happy that on Saturday we finally got a rainy fall day and a drop in temperatures. But it’s still a long time until kale season finally starts.
Anyhow, welcome to the first Five Things of October. Read on, my dear!
Hamas’s Control of Gaza Must End Now
The response from Israel has to be clear. Also the West has to support Israel in forging alliances to crush Hamas.

The Dysfunctional Superpower
This is clearly the wrong time for the United States to be so divided on foreign policy. The extremists in the GOP just stopped aid for Ukraine, sending the wrong signal to Putin. There are so many threats to Western liberal democracies, we need to stand united.

Black holes can teach us how to live our best lives
I didn’t know that and I will look at black holes differently from now on, even if I cannot see them.

Chatbot Hallucinations Are Poisoning Web Search
The whole issue of GenerativeAI and its hallucinations is really interesting, especially when you think about what data gets fed into the Large Language Models (LLM). So if GenerativeAI hallucinates, the LLM get tainted data as well.
