ChatGPT violated copyright law by harvesting musicians’ lyrics, German court rules
OpenAI ordered to pay undisclosed damages for training its language models on popular songs without permission A court in Munich has ruled that OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT violated German copyright laws by using hits from top-selling musicians to train its language models in what creative industry advocates described as a landmark European ruling. The Munich regional court sided in favour of Germany’s music rights society GEMA, which said ChatGPT had harvested protected lyrics by popular artists to “learn” from them. Continue reading...

Opiskelijat saapuvat meille unelmineen maailman onnellisimmasta maasta ja korkeatasoisesta koulutuksesta. Unelmat romuttuvat nopeasti, kun töitä ei ole tarjolla ja rasismi rehottaa. Maahanmuuttokeskustelussa tulee olla tilaa myös kansainvälisten opiskelijoiden omille toiveille ja tavoitteille.
Lukijan mielipide | Keskustelu kansainvälisistä opiskelijoista on vääristynyttä
Opiskelijat toisella asteella, ammattikorkeakouluissa ja yliopistoissa ovat keskenään hyvin erilaisissa elämäntilanteissa.

Read the letter:
“Dear President von der Leyen, We, experts in artificial intelligence (Al) and its societal impacts, are deeply concerned about your unscientific and inaccurate statement that Al is nearing human reasoning. You claimed in your budget speech in May "we thought Al would only approach human reasoning around 2050. Now we expect this to happen already next year." We understand from Commission disclosure, which followed a lengthy process to obtain this information, that you relied on the statements of Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang and Sam Altman as the basis for your statement about Al nearing human reasoning. These are marketing statements driven by profit-motive and ideology rather than empirical evidence and formal proof. In short, these tech CEOs claims concerning "superintelligence" and "AGI" are manifestly bound with their financial imperatives and not rigorous science. For the President of the European Commission to repeat the misleading marketing language of US technology firms without independent scientific verification undermines Europe's credibility as a reliable and trusted source of scientific knowledge. This is particularly so amidst a significant speculative bubble to which baseless Al hype is contributing. It also undermines the ability of Commission staff to evaluate the claims of Al vendors at a time when the Commission regulates them and procures Al services. The Commission has the duty to diligently assess claims made by industry and to determine with impartial and scholarly analysis where best the objectives of the Union should be pursued. The scientific development of any potentially useful Al is not served by amplifying the unscientific marketing claims of US tech firms. We call on you to: 1. retract your statement on Al approaching human reasoning next year; 2. diligently evaluate other such marketing claims about Al products; and 3. ensure you have the benefit of the necessary impartial scientific advice in future.”

Bunch of eejit clowns, these ones. And this is the party that also drives hate-speech against researchers picking at research topics they call huu-ha or rubbish. This Keskisarja fellow has been referred to a top historian etc. He did his doctoral dissertation on bestiality in 17th century Finland.

Persut: oppilaitoksia, jotka esim. kommunikoivat ensisijaisesti englanniksi, tulisi rankaista. Englanninkielisiä päiväkoteja ja kouluja tulee vastustaa.

Ylen pitäisi keskittyä suomenkielisiin ohjelmiin eikä tuhlata rahaa ”angloamerikkalaiseen roskaviihteeseen”.

Iloitsin kun näin tämän julkaisun, joka kertoo että maahanmuuttajat eivät ole taloudellinen rasite.
Kritisoin koska kuten muissakin uutisissa puurot ja vellit sekaisin. Tutkittu vieraskielisten veronmaksu sitten sanotaan, että maahanmuuttajat. Vieraskielinen ja maahanmuuttaja eivät ole sama asia.

Hursti pitää Suomen vaaliviranomaisten ratkaisua ”mielenkiintoisena” aikana, jolloin ympäri maailmaa vaalituloksia epäillään ja pienestäkin häiriöstä tulee isoja salaliittoteorioita.

Two weeks ago, we hosted a reception in Kathmandu for our Nepali alumni. Old connections, new connections, a heart-warming event!
Glad to see our Global South alumni coming together. Earlier this year, we did the same in Nigeria. Coming up in 2026: Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, maybe somewhere in LAC.

Silmälasiliikeet. Mietin miten paljon jätettä syntyy, kun asiakkaat aika voimakkaasti ohjataan ’päivittämään’ laseja.
Jos käytännössä vain linssejä pitää muuttaa, miksi pitää uusia kehyksiä ostaa?
Mitä vanhoille silmälaseille?
Miksi laseja neuvotaan ’päivittämään’ jos ei muutoksia näköön?
