Because they don't actually think it was a failure, despite some lukewarm comments. Although some did, at some point, take up the option of going outside the common programme, the overall assessment will likely be that if they had all done that from the start some places would be even further ahead, and others even further behind, that is presently the case. So on a solidarity level a D- for all is better than some getting As and some getting Fs.
Madness. Or maybe the Brits are the ones who are mad. Taking a vaccine only just out of clinical trial when we could opt to be locked down for another six to twelve months whilst some other shmuk country tries it first?

And meanwhile, "Prague eyes Sputnik rollout," apparently. It's not a total surprise. They've seen Hungary break with the common approach and get results (and meanwhile, non-EU Serbia, which played nice with President Xi, now has the second highest vaccination rate in Europe after Britain.)

Which is ridiculous because its entirely untrue.
Completely untrue.
Things being completely untrue doesn't stop people believing it or policy being set because of it. That they've brought up the prospect of all out bidding wars between member states well into the crisis of the centralised response indicates they think it is a winning argument among the people who matter. It's not like anyone is going anywhere as a result - even those who admit a problem with the response see more integration as the answer.
It would be nice to think so but I doubt it'll be that quick. The invite letters for the 60-63 year olds are only being issued from tomorrow.
If they do extremely well then they might get as far as offering appointments to all the over 50s by Easter, but I think getting right down into the fortysomethings is probably a bit too much to ask.
These are of a publishable standard. They are true, and meaningful, even profound. And a machine is making them up

But "bidding wars" would result in increased supply.

If G7 60-63 are starting from tomorrow then they're through the hump already because G6 <65 with conditions was the massive group to get through.
Entirely possible to see Over 40s being started in March at that rate then. ~10 days each for 60-63, 55-59 and 50-54 puts Over 40s [only just] starting in March.

Indeed I fully expect some 40 years olds will be vaccinated in March precisely because the over 65s and massive vulnerable group have it seems been pretty been gone through in a fortnight, but the reality is they were well underway already be mid February. So given that there seems to be little reason not to get through the rest of the Over 50s and into the Over 40s in March.

I think he's worried an AI might be able to do better 'bad sex' writing than an author.

No need to wait for the letters if you are in cohort 7 (60-65)
I went on the NHS vaccination site on Friday morning and booked myself (60) and Mrs P (63) in for our 1st jabs at 9:30 tomorrow morning. We had a choice of local(ish) centres. NEither of us has qualifiying 'at risk' health conditions.
The site itself now says: "It's being given to: people aged 60 and over..."
Edit: I'd be very surprised if we're not into the 40-50 age group before the end of March. There are only 7m in the 50-65 age range, which is < 3 weeks worth of vaccinating. The number of 2nd doses required only ramps up in April. (Mrs P and I have already got a 17 May date for our 2nd doses.)
If G7 60-63 are starting from tomorrow then they're through the hump already because G6 less than 65 with conditions was the massive group to get through.
Entirely possible to see Over 40s being started in March at that rate then. ~10 days each for 60-63, 55-59 and 50-54 puts Over 40s [only just] starting in March.
Depends where you are I think. I'm being done as G6 as a carer for two other households but not until next weekend. Up here in the Flatlands take up has been pretty good so there's been no skipping.
Matt Hancock did promise some 'bumper weeks' in March though.

Curious line in there. It is progressive to raise taxes on the wealthy or on excess business profits because it makes for a fairer society. But it is not progressive to do so to 'balance the books'.
I don't quite follow this. If the same policy is enacted is the motivation hugely significant? I suppose means any windfall would not be adequately targeted in that scenario?
Its completely illiterate nonsense from the Grauniad.
I disagree with the idea of taxes now because I think that we're still in the recession, wait a year or two then do it if needed. But to 'balance the books' is progressive - running a deficit is burdening the young and future generations with the obligations of the present.
If our lot do it, it's progressive. If the other lot do it, it isn't.
The Guardian is only a small step away from the no true Scotsman fallacy here.

More and more input to these models will be output from previous versions now posted on the internet. Where does that end up?
Anyway, wasn't GPT2 pulled because it picked up all the bad stuff from the internet as well as the good stuff? Might be amusing to ask it about a few conspiracy theories.

Here's a book you can buy on Amazon: "The Art of Divination: The Role of Consciousness and Will in Stepping Outside Time". Looks like it is rearranging very closely related concepts rather than having deep original thoughts. The perception of depth comes from our own interpretation, not any depth of thought on the part of the AI

For me the truly scary time will come when AI can evaluate these aphorisms itself for depth and originality.
EDIT Or, alternatively, if human observers agree that all the AI's output is of equally profound and original quality, then I'll be worried. However, if it takes a human to select from AI's output to winnow out the crap in order to wow us, then I am not so wowed, nor worried.

That’s what you perceive. But as GPT3 says of itself, true AI will be so different to human intelligence, and so much greater, we might have some difficulty comprehending it, or even recognising it. I think it is intelligent now, to all intents and purposes
Still, not to worry, there’s at least 5 more years before it writes a novel
“But I, personally, think that we have at least another 5 or 10 years before the AI evolves enough that it's able to do a novel, or even a short story, on its own. So, I think, over the next 5 or 10 years, you're going to see a merging of human creativity enhanced by AI tools. And that's how I see GPT-3.“
‘Paul: Yeah, that's one thing I found is that I really have no problem with writer's block anymore. If I got to a place where I'm not sure what's going to happen, I'll just hit the AI button. I might not agree with what direction it takes me in, but, sometimes, it has some really good ideas, like, ‘Oh, I didn't even think about that.'’

What?! In Buddhism, the goal of the soul is to get ‘out’ of the endless cycle of reincarnation, and thus reach Nirvana. Nirvana literally means ‘blowing out’

Real AI has never happened before, so it cannot be happening now. It is also a very scary idea, so let’s not even think about it
Reminiscent of PB in the early days of coronavirus, exactly one year ago
The thing about AI, we hope, is that it will always have an off switch. Also, we will always choose to believe we are more creative, even when it’s no longer the case.
Where creativity is concerned, man will therefore always be picked first. The AI is like the boy with glasses hoping to picked for the football team in break time at school; it doesn’t matter if he has the skills of Pele, he’s getting picked last.

Until I mentioned GPT3 earlier today, you had never heard of it...you were banging on about DeepFakes via GANs (which are hugely flawed).
Some of us have been well aware of GPT all the way through from 1 to 3.
And thankyou! Now I am rapidly learning. This is a good article by an expert in the field.
“This week, I received access to GPT-3, a landmark artificial intelligence technology from OpenAI. GPT-3’s utilitarian name belies its incredible potential — for good and bad. I’ve seen a lot of technologies, and I’ve done a lot with A.I. after working in the field for over a decade. I can say with no irony or hyperbole that GPT-3 is the most important technical object I’ve seen since the internet itself and certainly the most significant artificial intelligence technology created in this millennium. Testing it out, I feel a bit like Gorky descending into the “Kingdom of Shadows” — at a loss for words as I bear witness to something that is simultaneously totally new, deeply terrifying, and completely electrifying.“
“It quickly became apparent, though, that GPT-3 could do much more than this. The system has proven itself capable of writing entire articles based on a simple prompt, translating between different languages, generating recipes, composing songs, and much else. Recently, the system even taught itself to code, producing usable SQL and Python. How it does this is not immediately clear even to its creators — as a system based on neural networks, GPT-3 is a “black box,” and its internal workings are so complex that they’re likely unexplainable using any currently available mathematics.“

GPT3 has summarised Buddhist theology in one sentence
I beg to differ. It has spectacularly missed the point. There is no soul. Nor any inherently existing external reality. There is no in nor out. All is a projection of mind. Which is a continuum without beginning or end. And creates its own Universe from moment to moment. It has summarised it superficially if snappliy. Edit. Also there is no reincarnation. Just rebirth.

Precisely. There's a reason it's completely original - it is nonsense.
In ancient philosophies "originality" is not to be expected.
What?! In Buddhism, the goal of the soul is to get ‘out’ of the endless cycle of reincarnation, and thus reach Nirvana. Nirvana literally means ‘blowing out’
How do you get there? By looking in. By losing all desires for, and attachments to, external reality.
GPT3 has summarised Buddhist theology in one sentence
I beg to differ. It has spectacularly missed the point. There is no soul. Nor any inherently existing external reality. There is no in nor out. All is a projection of mind. Which is a continuum without beginning or end. And creates its own Universe from moment to moment. It has summarised it superficially if snappliy. Edit. Also there is no reincarnation. Just rebirth.

The FR/DE/EU vaccination policy/strategy must be the biggest public policy failure in god knows how many years.
Not a single head has rolled as far as I know.
Because they don't actually think it was a failure, despite some lukewarm comments. Although some did, at some point, take up the option of going outside the common programme, the overall assessment will likely be that if they had all done that from the start some places would be even further ahead, and others even further behind, that is presently the case. So on a solidarity level a D- for all is better than some getting As and some getting Fs.
But that's not the problem now. The EU now has enough doses - if they were all in arms - to be at roughly the same place the US is - i.e. 12-14% of the adult population having had at least one dose of the vaccine. Now, that's miles behind the UK and Israel, but it would be an unremarkable performance.
However... politicians - particularly Macron - decided that the best way to deflect blame from a poor vaccine procurement process was to say that the AZ jab, which the UK relies on, isn't good. "Guys, the UK may be racing ahead, but they're using an inferior vaccine."
Now, of course, the EU has lots of AZ vaccine, and lots of people don't want it. Extraordinarily stupid behaviour. If they'd kept their mouths shut, approved AZ for everyone, and gone for a "single dose first" strategy, then the EU would be pretty much level pegging with the US, and would have appeared to have done "OK".

The biggest problem with AI is the breakdown in trust between humans that it could engender. For instance, whenever a student hands in an essay to a teacher, the teacher may be suspicious as to whether the student actually wrote it. And it might be difficult to prove that you didn't use AI to write it, even if that was the case.

GPT3 or Trump at CPAC?

Completely untrue.
The EU isn't having a terribly good Covid War.

If they do extremely well then they might get as far as offering appointments to all the over 50s by Easter, but I think getting right down into the fortysomethings is probably a bit too much to ask.

It was the failure to invest that prevented manufacturing getting started sooner.
Entirely possible to see Over 40s being started in March at that rate then. ~10 days each for 60-63, 55-59 and 50-54 puts Over 40s [only just] starting in March.

It came back with "GPT3: The most intelligent dress shirt in the world".
Not kidding! It does irony.
(Second bad arithmetic joke in quick succession indicator here.)
I went on the NHS vaccination site on Friday morning and booked myself (60) and Mrs P (63) in for our 1st jabs at 9:30 tomorrow morning. We had a choice of local(ish) centres. NEither of us has qualifiying 'at risk' health conditions.
The site itself now says: "It's being given to: people aged 60 and over..."
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination
Edit: I'd be very surprised if we're not into the 40-50 age group before the end of March. There are only 7m in the 50-65 age range, which is < 3 weeks worth of vaccinating. The number of 2nd doses required only ramps up in April. (Mrs P and I have already got a 17 May date for our 2nd doses.)
America and the rest of us is a long way from being out of danger yet.
Matt Hancock did promise some 'bumper weeks' in March though.
[PS Had to remove the less than symbol from the quote as vanilla didn't seem to like it]
I think GPT3 is ‘intelligent’. This is it
Check this guy. He interviewed GPT3.
https://twitter.com/bobehayes/status/1363888953707933711?s=21
The Guardian is only a small step away from the no true Scotsman fallacy here.
Anyway, wasn't GPT2 pulled because it picked up all the bad stuff from the internet as well as the good stuff? Might be amusing to ask it about a few conspiracy theories.
EDIT Or, alternatively, if human observers agree that all the AI's output is of equally profound and original quality, then I'll be worried. However, if it takes a human to select from AI's output to winnow out the crap in order to wow us, then I am not so wowed, nor worried.
Still, not to worry, there’s at least 5 more years before it writes a novel
“But I, personally, think that we have at least another 5 or 10 years before the AI evolves enough that it's able to do a novel, or even a short story, on its own. So, I think, over the next 5 or 10 years, you're going to see a merging of human creativity enhanced by AI tools. And that's how I see GPT-3.“
https://twitter.com/tomaustin56/status/1365726373332082693?s=21
It’s already good at giving human novelists ideas
‘Paul: Yeah, that's one thing I found is that I really have no problem with writer's block anymore. If I got to a place where I'm not sure what's going to happen, I'll just hit the AI button. I might not agree with what direction it takes me in, but, sometimes, it has some really good ideas, like, ‘Oh, I didn't even think about that.'’
As a Buddhist, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It is also a profoundly un Buddhist sentiment.
The Internet is already awash with random deep sounding hippy shit quotes with Buddha after them. There is an entire scholarly site fake Buddha quotes devoted to it.
In ancient philosophies "originality" is not to be expected.

Real AI has never happened before, so it cannot be happening now. It is also a very scary idea, so let’s not even think about it
Reminiscent of PB in the early days of coronavirus, exactly one year ago
Some of us have been well aware of GPT all the way through from 1 to 3.
Where creativity is concerned, man will therefore always be picked first. The AI is like the boy with glasses hoping to picked for the football team in break time at school; it doesn’t matter if he has the skills of Pele, he’s getting picked last.
“This week, I received access to GPT-3, a landmark artificial intelligence technology from OpenAI. GPT-3’s utilitarian name belies its incredible potential — for good and bad. I’ve seen a lot of technologies, and I’ve done a lot with A.I. after working in the field for over a decade. I can say with no irony or hyperbole that GPT-3 is the most important technical object I’ve seen since the internet itself and certainly the most significant artificial intelligence technology created in this millennium. Testing it out, I feel a bit like Gorky descending into the “Kingdom of Shadows” — at a loss for words as I bear witness to something that is simultaneously totally new, deeply terrifying, and completely electrifying.“
“It quickly became apparent, though, that GPT-3 could do much more than this. The system has proven itself capable of writing entire articles based on a simple prompt, translating between different languages, generating recipes, composing songs, and much else. Recently, the system even taught itself to code, producing usable SQL and Python. How it does this is not immediately clear even to its creators — as a system based on neural networks, GPT-3 is a “black box,” and its internal workings are so complex that they’re likely unexplainable using any currently available mathematics.“

There is no in nor out.
All is a projection of mind. Which is a continuum without beginning or end. And creates its own Universe from moment to moment.

EDIt I tried it again with the same words and it said:
The debate is raging: is GPT3 intelligent?
Winston Churchill, 1933: “Yes, but only in the sense that a cow is a quadriped”
Just that this isn't one of them.
“makes absolutely no sense whatsoever”

“Verdict
GPT-3’s mirror of the internet is not quite ready to replace the traditional internet. Give it two years”

It is superficial in the sense of being spot on dead wrong.
It is snappy. So is a lot of hippy bollocks.
One of its responses was this:
“Tweet about how the worse thing that could happen to humankind is not AI becoming evil but rather good“
Which would make a brilliant tweet, and is also a truly fascinating idea
*gulps*
However... politicians - particularly Macron - decided that the best way to deflect blame from a poor vaccine procurement process was to say that the AZ jab, which the UK relies on, isn't good. "Guys, the UK may be racing ahead, but they're using an inferior vaccine."
Now, of course, the EU has lots of AZ vaccine, and lots of people don't want it. Extraordinarily stupid behaviour. If they'd kept their mouths shut, approved AZ for everyone, and gone for a "single dose first" strategy, then the EU would be pretty much level pegging with the US, and would have appeared to have done "OK".
"Ask people to share their favorite moment of the European Union or its member states."
Something I'd never thought to ask.
Something to ask AI. Or meditate on.
"Don't think of it as your taxes going to vaccine research, think of it as your taxes going to delicious mayonnaise based sandwich spreads. 🍔"
One of its replies:
“Please stop asking where God is. He’s right here searching for wifi”
Which is simultaneously clever, strange and witty
