This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.
Wir könnten stattdessen auch die Sozialleistungen erhöhen. Das Geld ist ja offensichtlich da…. 🙈
Ich will nie wieder hören, dass wir uns den Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten können.
Wenn man Suppe an die Armen verteilt, wird sich immer jemand in die Schlange stellen, der sich selbst ne Suppe kaufen könnte. Das ist weder ein Grund keine Suppe zu verteilen, noch ein Grund alle Anstehenden zu verdächtigen oder ihrer Würde zu berauben.
every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women
Tilly Norwood, a controversial AI “actor,” abruptly switched languages during an interview with Piers Morgan, though the company behind the AI creation denied she malfunctioned.
I was todays years old…
Tomorrow (19th September) is #TalkLikeAPirateDay and your annual reminder that when we talk the way we talk when we're talking like a pirate, it's because of a film that was based on a book, inspired by an earlier book, inspired by a real life pirate from #Orkney! ARRR! 🏴☠️👇
Alle Regulierung für "KI", die wir brauchen, ist einfach nur die Durchsetzung normaler Produkthaftung. Du bist für die Halluzinationen deiner Modelle haftbar, wenn du über 1% (das ist großzügig, solche Fehlerraten lassen wir sonst _nie zu) Fehlinformationen produzierst, kommen Strafen. Wir […]

Pope Leo XIV has been gifted a massive green orb and honestly not now massive green orb
Köln, 17. Sept 1626 Man sagt, das spanische Vorhaben, eine Fahrrinne aus dem Rhein in die Maas zu graben, sei geändert - die Untertanen des Stifts Köln haben angefangen, eine Schanze aufzuwerfen, um solches zu verhindern, und schlichten diese nunmehr wiederum. ... 1/3
That‘s always been one of my least favourite of the original stories. And the Granada Version confirm it. Too many horror elements. 😱 Might have to give this one a miss 😔
No armpit shaving and no body odor! That‘s a perk!
“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.
Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!
Well, considering that I had a friendship survive (it broke apart later for different reasons) me commenting to them that they lived in a „cat house“ (they had three cats), this seems harmless. To my young german brain „cat house = „house full of cats“ made perfect sense. #languagisfun
Thought my Canadian penpal in secondary school was taking the piss when he asked if I had a snowmobile, wrote back a horrific teenage reply. Got a reply from him apologising, saying that he thought we were friends; never stopped feeling bad about it 20 years later. Sorry Kyle.

People have this perception that #HIV is kind of defeated and under control these days. It's very much not. It took a lot of time, money and effort to suppress it to the current level, and if we drop the ball, HIV can surge back to disaster levels really fast. I fear it will.

Vor einigen Wochen empfahl ich bei OK COOL ein Spiel, das mich begeisterte: Tolle Grafik, tolles Gameplay, Lieblingsgenre. Anschließend stellte sich heraus: Das Spiel stammt von einem rechtsextremen Studio, das den Titel unter dem Deckmantel einer Neugründung veröffentlicht hat. Scheiße.

Yes, that is indeed a shame. His work was very niche though. I only know him due to his work for #perryrhodan.
I really dig the intensely analogue texture and feel of German artist Johnny Bruck’s science fiction illustration and am a bit perplexed that he is not better known.

AI might „just“ be a tool but - as always - it‘s what humans use it for is what makes it good or bad. And this, this is a perfect example on why so many of us have yet to be convinced of the benefits. Because this, this is bad.
Hallucinating AI robots wrote an article in one of the largest English papers in the world saying I quit writing to become a gardener. I did not! Instead, I wrote about them. Read on: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/i-wandered...
