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?

THREAD. A *big* ask, I know, but I'm trying to seek out a US publisher for this book this week & any further orders from Blackwell's will REALLY help that cause. Amazingly, they do free international delivery, which makes it cheaper than buying many books locally. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2w agoAlso, 2000+ readers in North America have now bought (via import) this book, which still does not have a publisher in the US or Canada, and which I was told confidently by the British publishing industry had no chance of having an overseas audience due to being "too British".
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.

Die vergessene Stadt: Roms Netzwerk beiderseits der Enns
Ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsteam mit Beteiligung der Universität Innsbruck hat bei St. Pantaleon-Erla in Niederösterreich die Überreste einer bislang unbekannten römischen Stadt entdeckt. Es könnte sich dabei um die Siedlung Claudivium handeln, die wohl 180 n. Chr. aufgelassen wurde.

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

Barack Obama is urging Democrats — including 2028 presidential candidates and congressional leaders — to more aggressively focus on a comprehensive AI agenda. "This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don't get on top of it, I think can be dangerous,” he warned.
Obama calls for Dems to focus on AI
Creating a robust AI agenda should be a top focus for Congress and presidential candidates, he said at a private fundraiser.
