#Imitation
After modelling her entire existence after Elsa, even though she considered her to be an awful person, she still didn't want her to disappear. Since "Meili Portroute" was just an imitation of Elsa Granhiert, and the original has died, what was even left of her? And once again we're back to the core+

We know Professor Tolkien loved a good party, but now we know he had contingency plans.

That’s me in the wheelbarrow.

All still work in progress, but you can definitely expect a return to RL and multi-agent learning together with continuing research on learning from data/ imitation learning ;)

Causal distillation replaces imitation with genuine evidence-based reasoning across model scales.

tRUMP is IMITATING his "good friend, Epstein". Check out the fireplace at Epstein’s on TikTok. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay ”to greatness." Or in this case pay “to Epstein”.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery

Well it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Starmer is gone. Better late than never.
Labour are following the Scottish SNP model that they spend so much effort to undermine.

Usually folk are flattered by imitation

The SNP lot are raging on here - he has not given them a valid* grouse but is making appeal to ordinary English folk

* any increase in spend in England increases the Scottish block grant - the anti-Sassenach line is bollocks

Happy Kasen Thursday! ngl I saw a trailer for a game called Ghosts of the Mountain Pass, and it looks totally rad! The game is a racing game where you compete in one-on-one races, it has Initial D vibes and looks super fun! I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way 💛☺️

There’s some advert for an Alzheimer’s charity on TV at the moment that reminds me a bit of the music video for Imitation of Life
