A much more accurate terminology would have been “AI confabulation”. But alas, we are stuck with bad terminology, such as sampling from a fitted LLM being called “inference”. 🤦‍♂️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Aug 2026 17:25 +0000at://did:plc:raqakgdn3vs3f3flxkvo6kv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtc7uphdgs2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/tiago.skewed.de/post/3mso7dcmkmk2sDie brasilianischen Präsidentschaftswahlen finden nun im Oktober statt, und Bolsonaros Sohn kandidiert und liegt in den Umfragen knapp auf dem zweiten Platz...
