Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools. No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children.  Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I.

Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google’s search engine.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

In den letzten Wochen hat sich die vielleicht größte Revolution in der Geschichte der Mathematik ereignet - und so ganz hat die Öffentlichkeit das noch nicht erkannt. Künstliche Intelligenz hat die Mathematik erobert - was heißt das jetzt? Ich habe aufgeschrieben, was man darüber wissen sollte:

Die unerträgliche Leichtigkeit der Mathematik

Die vielleicht größte Revolution in der Geschichte der Mathematik geschieht genau jetzt: Künstliche Intelligenz hat gelernt, Beweise zu liefern. Was heißt das jetzt für uns Menschen?

Gotta admit I'm getting a lot of schadenfreude from the freakouts about Claude's watermarks and the horrifying idea you might actually have to do your own work to get credit for the work.

@RoadtripC
This is weird cause we are back to page zero. You cannot use ai to draft anything if the submission flags it as ai written by the watermark. Even if you have edited it and spent hours on making it your own - the watermark you don’t see will negate your efforts

anthropic is about to watermark the text claude writes for you, worldwide, starting tuesday. the detector goes to regulators, journalists and big enterprises. everyone except the person who paid for the text.

so your cold email, your linkedin post, the resume you rewrote three times can get flagged as claude by some hr tool or editor, and you can't even run the check yourself to see what they'll see.

@petesena
Claude gonna start snitching on Tuesday.

Anthropic just emailed customers. Starting Nov 3, text carries an invisible watermark.

You can't see it. It survives copy and paste, and it can survive some editing.

Nicht vergessen: Wenn in den USA die Demokraten gewinnen, ist noch lange nichts wieder gut. Das ist die Partei von Chuck Schumer und Nancy Pelosi. Und die USA sind immer noch ein Land der ICE-Schergen, in dem Menschenmassen demokratiefeindlichen Oligarchen zujubeln. Egal was kommt - wachsam bleiben!

How on earth is it viewed as being "outspoken" or some kind of trouble-causer or rabble rouser to say AI needs to be annihilated, instead of being yet another person who just shrugs, rolls over and accepts its ruination? How do we live in a world where that is not viewed as a normal, sane opinion?

The kind of AI slop I hate the most is nature photos and videos. Their very existence means I can no longer enjoy photos or videos of anything cuz I'm just doubting the whole time whether any of it's real anymore. Got pic of a cat doing something awesome? No you didn't. Or did you? IDK. That sucks.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

"indoor cats are miserable and they long for the outdoors and you are depriving them of their true nature by trapping them inside" okay here's my cat when he was outdoors vs now that's he's indoors

orange cat all beat up and bloody in the snow :( orange cat asleep splayed out on his side on his blanket
