"Just use Linux" is much like "just ride a bike" or "just shop at a refill store" - accessing the non default option can be time consuming, expensive or unavailable locally. We need to recognise you need a certain degree of privilege to have the capacity to complicate your life voluntarily. We need to be trying to make the better, harder thing more accessible, not blaming people for not using it.

If you don’t understand:

- The profit motive.

- Slowly boiling frogs.

- Institutional corruption (the influence of corporate finance in political decision-making – i.e., lobbying and revolving doors).

You will keep getting surprised over and over gain by what corporations and the politicians bought by the corporations do.

Es gibt kein „KI-DSGVO-Dilemma“.
Es gibt ein „KI-Dilemma“.

Das Recht stößt nicht an technische Grenzen.
Die Technik stößt an rechtliche, ethische, moralische und ökologische Grenzen.

Ich bin es so fucking Leid, diese als Jura getarnte Business-Promoter zu sehen.

Screenshot von heise.de. Zu sehen ist ein Bild mit drei weissen Männern in einem Videocall. Darunter der Text:

„Auslegungssache 109: Das KI-DSGVO-Dilemma
Die DSGVO verlangt, dass Betroffene Daten in KI-Modellen ändern lassen können. Doch wie soll das gehen? Die Anwendung von Recht stößt nun an technische Grenzen.“

@matthewskelton @nealcurtis I always phrase it as: "currently, LLMs are being trained to produce responses in such a way that make it impossible even for experts to figure out how they are wrong"

@b0rk filter-branch? Not sure that's what you're looking for, because it's more intentional, than "lose".

The Worst Day Of Your Life So Far  Meme is an 2-panel picture from The Simpsons Movie. In the first Panel Bart says „This is the worst day of my life“. In the second panel Homer bends down to his son and lectures hin with „This is the worst day of your life so far“. It is used to express in a humorous way the pessimistic opinion that an already bad situation can, and likely will, get worse. Here in this picture the text is altered to „this is the hottest summer of my life“, and Homers response „this is the coolest summer of the rest of your life. 
Someone added underneath: „every year I post this meme and every year people get more mad at me than they fid the previous year.“

I wonder: is there any research into AI generated code and anchoring effect (1) with regards to code (review) quality yet.

@w4tsn ich fänd es interessant, wenn einfließen würde, wie sehr (gewählte) Parteien die Faktoren aus dem vorherigen Wahl-O-Mat auch vertreten/umgesetzt haben oder ob sie sich vielleicht gegensätzlich verhalten haben, also die Standpunkte in gewissen Bereichen gar nicht verlässlich sind.

@w4tsn diese selbstreflektiertheit, sich selbst als heuchlerisch zu empfinden und darüber hinaus mit dieser Tatsache auch noch ein Problem zu haben, ist genau das was der deutschen Gesellschaft über die letzten zwei-drei Jahrzehnte (schwarzgelber) Wohlstandsverwahrlosung abhanden gekommen ist.

Schön zu lesen :-)

Kein Fake: Die CSU sieht programmatisch eine große Übereinstimmung mit den italienischen Postfaschisten.¹ Zuletzt wurde Regierungschefin Meloni vorgeworfen, durch direkte Eingriffe in das TV-Programm die öffentliche Sendeanstalt RAI zum Propagandaapparat² ihrer Partei umzubauen und durch eine geplante Verfassungsänderung die Gewaltenteilung im Land zu schleifen.³

RT @JuanmaFdez En once años que llevo cubriendo nunca me había sentido tan inseguro en el festival.

Varios periodistas israelíes han decidido intimidarme e increparme por haber gritado tras el ensayo de Isra-hell.

No nos van a atemorizar. No nos van a callar.

@sushee Oooh, footnotes. Definitely something audiobooks are lacking. Had to listen to the audio books three times, back-to-back to make sure I got it all.

Not that I'm complaining, it's a great series.
