I’m in Australia! Hooray! My mum and dad and sister and I moved from Perth to Bergen when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve loved two homes: Australia and Norway. Walking off the plane last night and breathing in the scent of eucalyptus in the warm night air […]
That’s almost the title of a paper I read today, Do Multilingual LLMs Think In English?, which uses several methods to poke into what a language model actually does when responding to a prompt in a language other than English. Spoiler: it looks as though it goes via English even […]
I gave a talk about AI today for a group of knowledge workers in the public sector – people who are asked to write reports summarising research on a specific topic, and who coordinate funding schemes and advise on policy – and I asked them how they use LLMs in […]
Occasionally I love ChatGPT. Like when I gave it a research paper I’d written and the itinerary for my planned trip to Australia this November and asked it to look for related art exhibitions I should visit or people to meet and it came up with some great suggestions with […]

Yeah, I know, I kept wondering why the syllabus link didn’t work, until I realised it was being downloaded as a word doc…
It would be hilarious to have an amazon-style working, linked syllabus. Possibly in breach of some copyright or something (nah, it’s parody and protected, right?) but what fun!

That was funny. But what you need is an Amazon search feature for the doc, and a check out line before you can buy the syllabus…
