Es ist eine verbreitete Annahme, dass wir alle zu wenig trinken. Dabei entbehren Trinkempfehlungen jeder Grundlage.

Empfehlungen für Trinkmengen halten sich hartnäckig, obwohl schon lange klar ist, dass sie jeder Grundlage entbehren.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.

But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.

Because the Earth is a sphere, the skies look different above and below the equator. The moon, for example, appears “upside down” from Sydney, Australia when compared to the same full moon viewed from Chicago, USA!

Das Witzige an der Vermüllung des Internets durch KI-generierte Inhalte ist ja, dass KIs auch aus denen 'lernen'. Und wenn sie auf schlechten Kopien trainieren, werden die Ergebnisse zunehmend schlechter. Eine inzestiöse Abwärtsspirale.
