Le futur sera conversationnel : notre site web repensé en 40h grâce à l'IA

Face à la refonte de notre site web, je me suis posé la question : comment produire un site institutionnel à l'ère de l'IA ?

Weekend long read on how Hard Fork’s Kevin Roose has oversold new AI tools coding without knowing how to code, as a case study in a larger phenomenon of leading journalists hyping AI:

Notre première étude Agoratlas !
Où on a trouvé des milliers de bots/trolls insultants Zelensky, et félicitant Trump.

La première partie de l'étude étant dans le lien cité, je vais profiter de mon thread perso pour vous parler de ma journée et du process derrière 😅
THREAD - Dans les dernières 24 heures, près de 35 000 comptes francophones ont parlé de la rencontre Trump/Zelensky sur Twitter.

Nos analyses ont permis de mettre en évidence de nombreux comportements coordonnés visant à manipuler l'opinion publique en faveur de la Russie ⤵️

@bsky.app can we please add an edit button so I will stop missing the other place?

I've been hearing a lot about different programming workflows to make full use of LLMs, but I want in-depth accounts of how it works. This blog by Harper Reed is exactly what I've been looking for.

Remote interviews are not going to be useful anymore, joining a long list of talent identification techniques that AI is invalidating (like take-home essays, etc.).

I don’t think institutions are adjusting fast enough.

There is a lot of important stuff in this new paper by Anthropic that shows how people are actually using Claude.
1) The tasks that people are asking AI to do are some of the highest-value (& often intellectually challenging)
2) Adoption is uneven, but many highly compensated fields already are high

Not an easy chart to read, but worth spending a minute on. It tells you a few key things:
1) Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking sets a new high in price-performance, better than DeepSeek r1 (on ELO) and cheaper
2) The cost of GPT-4 capability dropped 1,000 fold in 18 months
3) Pace of improvement is swift
