Rune R¯sten’s written rather a nice little comparison of journalistic treatment of Bill Gate’s speech vs. blogged reports of it (May 5, no permalink, in Norwegian).

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]
