🖼️ Benjamin Schwartz
Ein Cartoon in Schwarz-Weiß zeigt eine Szene in einem Wartezimmer einer Tierarztpraxis. Eine Krankenschwester mit Stethoskop berührt die Schulter eines sitzenden Mannes im Anzug und Bowtie, der neben einer Frau sitzt, die ein Papier hält. Sie sagt: „Zu Ihrer Katze, Herr Schrödinger – ich habe gute Nachrichten und schlechte Nachrichten.“ Im Hintergrund ist die Rezeption mit dem Schild „Check In“ zu sehen, ein Mann hält eine Katze, und eine Person sitzt am Schalter. Auf dem Tisch stehen eine Vase mit Blumen und liegen Magazine. Gezeichnet von Schwartz.

The old test in moral philosophy ‘what if everyone did that?’ is coming back to haunt us. LLMs only work because the information they are sucking up was not generated by LLMs. But as they drive more and more real researchers out of business they are building layers and layers on their own quicksand.

Don’t want to be a downer or anything, but the Doomsday Clock has moved four seconds closer to midnight.

Alexandra Bell, President and CEO of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists which maintains the clock, said it was due to a “global failure in leadership” and an “Orwellian approach to governance.”

VIENNESE IMPRESSIONS
Merisi drinks coffee before taking a picture.

☕
On a rectangular silvery tablet a black cup of coffee with a sky blue saucer, a glass of water topped by a down-turned spoon and a small silver bowl with five cubes of sugar. Someone has already sipped all the coffee!

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

A water castle (palace), the palace with two floors, the upper windows with blue-green shutters. An annex to the right has one floor. The building is reflected in the moat that surrounds it. "Laudon Castle is the only moated castle on 9 hectares of land in Vienna. It was first mentioned in a document in 1130 and its current baroque design dates back to the last standardised renovation in 1744." https://www.viennafilmcommission.at/en/locations/schloss-laudon/

A joke for the history buffs:

This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

The absolutely best thing about Art Deco, Jugenstil, "Victorian era" etc. is the styling of purely utilitarian implements into things of beauty, for the improvement of the overall impression.

As per the playbook...

...that 90 year old playbook.

The most terrible thing about it probably the un-originality of it all. And the "feeling powerless" in the face of it all along.

Absolut.
Überhaupt ist der journaillenhafte Anklang einer "diplomatischen Diskussion" eine krasse Verbiegung der Situation; wohl aus Angst "tendentiös" zu wirken wird man erst recht tendentiös.

Schon die Rahmung ist irre: als gäbe es hier zwei legitime Positionen, zwischen denen man sich treffen müsste. Die einen wollen ein Land annektieren, die anderen wollen ihr Land behalten. Was wäre der Kompromiss: die halbe Annexion?

WINTER IN VIENNA
Palm House Conservatory

The Palmenhaus in the Gardens of Schönbrunn on a cold winter day, when snow's covering the grounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmenhaus_Schönbrunn "The present building was built by Ignaz Gridl following plans by court architect Franz-Xaver von Segenschmid,[1] known for his projects of bridges, and Sigmund Wagner. Groundbreaking took place in 1881 and Franz Joseph I opened the greenhouse on 19 June 1882.[2] Since 1918 it has been run by the Bundesgärten (Federal Gardens). A heavy bomb attack on Schönbrunn Palace in February 1945 destroyed most of the glazing of the Palmenhaus. Many plants died, although some were saved by being transferred to the nearby Sonnenuhrhaus. The rebuilding began in 1948, and the Palmenhaus was reopened in 1953." Architecture "Built with 600 tons of wrought iron and 120 tons of cast iron, the Palmenhaus is 111 metres long, 28 metres wide and 25 metres high, and has 45,000 glass tiles. The annexes on the north and south sides serve as a coldhouse and a hothouse respectively."

Nein, werte Medien, es gibt keinen "Streit um Grönland".
