Die Insides von Janosch Delcker @janoschdelcker.bsky.social auf der @re-publica.com Hamburg haben mir Angst gemacht. Der Affe in meinem Kopf wollte die ganze Zeit dagegen ansingen. "Die Gedanken sind frei, wer kann sie erraten..." Ihr ahne es schon, die KI, die KI die kann sie erraten...

Wie entschlüsseln neue Technologien unser Denken – und wie behalten wir die Kontrolle? In seinem neuen Buch ruft Janosch Delcker (@janoschdelcker.bsky.social) dazu auf, unsere „Neurorechte“ zu schützen. Auf der #rpHH diskutiert er, was es dafür braucht. 🔗 re-publica.com/de/session/m...

There's a simple yet effective trick for showing other insiders that you (and not AI) are still writing your LinkedIn posts. And it involves my high school teacher, Ms. Curtis--who will probably never know. www.linkedin.com/pulse/secret...

The Secret Signal That Says: I Wrote This LinkedIn Post, Not AI

There's a subtle trick to signal that you’re still writing your own LinkedIn posts rather than using AI. Only insiders will pick up on it.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.


I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

Meta announces partnership with defense contractor Anduril Industries to develop military technology, including an AI-powered helmet. Given the basic AI research conducted within Meta over the last years, this expansion into defense makes a lot of sense. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
