AI copyediting: how Paperpal butchered my paper on AI-generated writing https://jilltxt.net/ai-copyediting-how-paperpal-butchered-my-paper-on-ai-generated-writing/

@JosteinSN Jeg har et par fra perioden 1988-1992, med trykk fra teaterstykker jeg var med på den gangen. Den ene krympet i vask og er alt for liten nå, mens den andre bruker jeg i nye og ne, men er redd for den skal gå i oppløsning hver gang den vaskes…

I’ll be 60 this year, and thinking this might end up being my retirement plan too… https://social.lol/@nad/114698321072149153

Ursula K. Le Guin: "We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

If Steve breaks into Joe's home and kills arbitrary members of the household and then when asked why says "well, I had a feeling Steve was going to break into my home and do the same sometime like within a year or more", we do not call that "self-defense", we call that murder.

It does not matter which one it is, we can not regress to letting States just invade and kill hundreds, thousands or more people, further devastate the lives of very many times that, just because the rulers of some State decided they have a feeling.

Even within this current deficient States-based system, that is actually not allowed, but we have during the latest 1½ or so decade had the major powers (UNSC veto holders, Napoleon era "Great Powers" imperialist shits) actively dismantle the protections against wars of aggression because those were done by their buddies or themselves.

With the removal of that protection, we go back to the constant continents-spanning devastation of the Hundred Years' Wars (1337-1453=116 years and 1689-1815=126 years), Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and so on, with 10-40% (depending on war, 40% for the 30 Years one) of the people killed for rulers' whims, totaling in today's population of same areas 74 million people... but now they have worse weapons, nukes.

We can't go back to that.

MED KI FRA KUNNSKAP TIL BULLSHIT

Da Google begynte å fronte KI-genererte svar gikk bruken av Store Norske Leksikon (SNL) ned: fagkunnskap erstattes av svar som etteraper faktatekstens form uten hensyn til sannhet, altså bullshit.

(Sitatet i bildet er fra Erik Bolstad, sjefsredaktør for SNL.)

I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days:

A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher.

A climate scientist: with a rise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die.

(edit: muting the post, it's going way beyond its intended audience, I'd like to be able to see notifications about other things. thanks you all for sharing)

6 ways AI can partner with us in creative inquiry, inspired by media theorist Marshall McLuhan https://theconversation.com/6-ways-ai-can-partner-with-us-in-creative-inquiry-inspired-by-media-theorist-marshall-mcluhan-258238

«McLuhan argued that far from making the liberal arts obsolete, automation makes them mandatory. In an age where machine intelligence is integrated into communication and creativity, the humanities, with their focus on cultural understanding, ethical reasoning and imaginative expression, become more essential than ever.»

👏👏👏

Det er nå vi velger side, ikke når soldatene marsjerer i gatene våre. Selvsagt lærer vi aldri av historien, fordi nye mennesker hele tiden gjør de samme feilene på ny - det er menneskets vesen. Men er det noe vi må lære likevel, så er det at vi kan ikke stå der som besteborgerlig middelklassemennesker og se verden kjøres på dunken.
Det gjelder også våre politikere.

@HannahHowe Likely everyone will vote for the decade their own musical taste was formed — I know I did. I was 14 when the 80s started, 24 when they ended. I still love so much music from that decade. And today I even like some of the stuff I couldn’t stand back then…

@teadrinker I’d call it a dry rack / drying rack (knowing full well that can cause confusion with the rack in the kitchen for drying dishes)… Although — a quick web search tells me the entire internet disagrees with me, so 🤷‍♂️

Action speaks louder than words. Danish Minister of Digitalisation @carolinestage.bsky.social wants to phase out Microsoft from the ministry to reduce the dependency on US tech. This will be a long process. But actual action, not just talking points, is noteworthy!

Freedom Flotilla Coalition's crew on the Madleen sailing to break Israel's illegal siege against the people in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, ~1h ago:
─────
Israel’s Defense Minister has once again threatened unlawful force against civilians, attempting to justify violence with baseless smears. We will not be intimidated.

The 'Madleen' is a peaceful civilian vessel, unarmed and sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid and human rights defenders. This mission is independent, guided only by conscience and solidarity with Gaza.

We are currently about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Earlier signal jamming briefly disrupted our location, but our tracker is functioning again.

We remain calm and prepared in the face of possible Israeli aggression.

We call on world governments to demand Israel stand down. It has no right to obstruct our mission or enforce its illegal and brutal blockade.
─────

The Israeli government is issuing threats against the Madleen, a small ship carrying food and medical supplies to Gaza, along with a dozen activists, including Greta Thunberg. Israeli authorities said that if the small ship attempts to deliver the desperately needed aid to Gaza, it will come under attack.
