Complex beings as us humans can not be summarised in a few lines but I am here for #AI #climate #EUtech #EU_politics. And geopolitics, unfortunately. Lecturer in AI & IT. Some posts in Dutch. 🇪🇺

Identification of plants and animals is one of the best applications of ComputerVision. I never knew there was a moth that lives on mint plants here in downtown Amsterdam, but here she is: the mint moth. #ai #obsidentify #naturalis
Can confirm Fable 5 is currently unavalable in the Netherlands. Confusing situation indeed.
When I use Claude (browser) it sometimes mixes up the references. It shows links from older conversations. Am I the only one or are others experiencing this as well? #claude
There are four ways of running an #AI model. They all have pro's and cons. And with the weekly arrival of new models, changes in pricing & policies and the rise of agents this is a field to watch.
And there is 'joke bias' because Claude Code gave EXACTLY the same joke as Gemma 4. 😂
Anyway, when I asked Gemma about Kahneman's book "Thinking, fast and slow" this was an interesting result.
So #Gemma4 is cool and I love local models. That even a small 12b model can think is great. Amazing progress in this space. But if I ask for a joke do *not* overthink it, ok? 😀
After that, I could install Hermes agent itself using the cURL command. Installation was smooth, but a whole set of params needs to be set before using it. And then it opened, but why is the font yellow on a white background ???
First, I installed Tailscale on my Raspberry Pi, so I can safely log into the Pi from anywhere. @tailscale.com
I am a white-haired man who understands the meaning of this word, but if I would use this with my students, I do not believe they will understand. I would love to use David Marr's famous model with my AI students but they'll be confused about 'computational'... suggestions welcome!
AI Agents are all the rage in AI. Tomorrow I'll give a workshop on AI Agents for a general audience. We'll start with basics and work our way up to e.g MCP and Skills. Location: Amsterdam OBA, Oosterdokskade, Floor -1 Starts 19:00. sensemakersams.org/events/
From my classroom I have a good view on the building in this picture. Here you see the first Dutch programmer Edsger Dijkstra (left) ± 75 years ago. You should know him from the 'shortest path algorithm'. Tomorrow's class is about end of programming - as we now let AI do the programming.
Ilya Sutskever in a speech where he accepts his honorary degree. (Ilya was the man who got CNN's working back in 2012 and later chief scientist at OpenAi when they were still research. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuZ2...
Long overdue and I hardly used it, but now I have closed my PayPal account for obvious reasons. #PaypalMafia #stopPeterThiel
Ukraine has recently recaptured a large area north of Hulyaipole. Will Hulyaipole be the next city after Kupyansk that will be liberated ?? maps from ISW
I succesfully migrated my account to @eurosky.social ! My data is safely stored in Europe, away from Trump's grabby fingers. #EuroStack
in dealing with shaheds I know someone who holds a trump card...
Maybe Trump should call someone who has experience in dealing with Shaheds.
Debacle 4: een slecht ontworpen "gasmarkt" obv neoliberale principes. Wie nog even de moeite neemt de vorige piek in gasprijs na te zoeken, ziet een patroon: Lege voorraden => hoge prijzen. persportaal.anp.nl/artikel/5d0c...
They all have. Here is @pkrugman.bsky.social Nobel laureate in economics.
How it started vs How it's going. It's been less than a year when @karpathy.bsky.social, one of the best in #AI, coined the term #vibecoding. Now, he is not emboldend but he feels 'behind in programming'. If he already feels like this, what do I tell my students? What should I teach them?
Great paper: "The Platonic Representation Hypothesis" Neural networks, trained with different objectives on different data and modalities, are converging to a shared statistical model of reality in their representation spaces. arxiv.org/abs/2405.07987 I made a video of Plato's Cave for my class
