Hello everyone!

I am writing this post because I want to bring up this story.

I am a researcher in the UniBern. A couple months ago everyone with a UniBern mail got a mail, this guy, Luca Brügger, he committed suicide.

The mail was simple, he said that it was too late already(anyway we called the police) and had this website attached.

Of course with all the precautions I opened the link, it was a very long suicide letter talking about how football was his life, he was not happy, many delusions, he had a(not really) revolutionary football theory and many things, it was so long that I didn't had that much time to read it all, I'll be honest.

The little detail: his last wish. He didn't want a funeral, but a minute of silence for people suffering like him. The request was for the University's dean. He said that he would have released (through a trusted contact oc) his full football theory if so after the world football cup's finals.

We got no news from the university for the minute of silence, no football theory apparently released, as per now the website is not available, even if I still have a pdf version I downloaded to let chatgpt analyze it, also In case you want it dm me. The suicide not page disappeared from his Instagram page, in those months I just found one or two Facebook posts about him and they were almost uninformative and probably also got deleted.

I didn't know him, but I feel deeply sorry for him, at the point that I wish to express my condolences to the family, a young man did something so serious, I won't even judge the reasons, and it made no sound like a tree falling alone in the sand.

I am the kind of person that normally accepts death as a part of life, I also lost some important people and sometimes I think about them but smile at the good memories.

But this guy, I feel incredibly sorry. It's not a lot about the suicide itself, I mean, yes I'm sorry to hear that part too, but as much I can be for every people that does it or gets killed or does in general. If you told me that a person killed themselves I would just take it and not be so pressed.

The thing is that nobody cares, not the dean, most of my colleagues deleted the mail thinking as spam( the object was straight up suicide note anyway) and even months after they don't even know about him, I haven't seen a note, a poster, any news, nothing.

Are we really that self centered as mankind that a 24yo student killing himself makes no sound?

Hello everyone, just wanted to share a curious thing I found out.

I was using codex for a project that involves an octopus board, Klipper and some stepper motors.

As many of you surely know, if you set full access codex can send every kind of command to the terminal, so out of laziness I asked it to test the new configuration we made. Funny enough it always specified that no motors were moved, when I told it to explicitly move the motors it kept repeating that the authorization was given by the user and anyway always making extremely small and slow movements. It acts almost like if it is scared of interacting with phisical peripherals.

I think this is actually really interesting as a limitation, it's different from biases stopping the model from doing something, it just wants an extremely detailed authorization.

What do you think about it? I think it would be even more interesting if there was no actual bias, because that could be the closest thing to fear that an ai could have, like a child being scared to run a bike or take a candy from someone known by the family but not him.

Which side will you choose?

• Left side: Dream job
• Right side: Infinite money but never work
