Pretty sure this is satire. Maybe it alludes to recent concerns that Norway’s sovereign wealth fund could be exposed to an AI-driven investment bubble or valuation correction.

Isn't that "scheduled sampling"? In that case they also shift the input distribution toward that of the model, which possibly is even more crucial than shifting the output distribution?

You probably mean "e.g." as "for example", not "i.e."?
This might be on purpose and part of the training data because "for example" just sounds much better than "e.g.". Presumably for most purposes, linguistic naturalness is more important than fidelity.

> 2D and 3D tools get this right
Except for (vector) graphics design, desktop publishing, page layout designing and reporting software... The reason is of course that most printed items are unica and non-variable, but proper parametric and constraint-based would definitely be useful in report generation and signage where print formats vary or where designs need to be automatically adjusted based on texts and other content varying in size/length.

Much of our wealth is grounded in immorality.

The "lesson" does not seem so clear according to the article you have linked:
> Schneider claimed that the decision had been political, “not made on the basis of facts”
> “We do not see any compelling technical reasons for a change to Windows and Microsoft Office… We solve compatibility and interoperability problems by providing MS Office, mostly virtualised, at workplaces that need to work together with external offices on office documents.”
One point of critique was the difficulty involved with 3rd party programs on the Linux laptops. But with MS Teams, Zoom etc. running in the browser and/or having actual Linux clients these days, this may be much more feasible today.
The opposition claimed the decision to abandon Linux was a purely political one. The mayor who pushed the return to Microsoft, Dieter Reiter (SPD), was a known Microsoft fanboy, but he (of course) denied personal investment in the reversal.

A nano font but huge images. The large image is a 4873 KB bitmap which can be losslessly compressed to 47 KB using PNG.

Last time I checked lxml.html and lxml.html.clean (possibly with cssselect) were much faster than BeautifulSoup. Not sure this is still the case.
