Works in higher education, somewhere between teacher support and digital anything. Studied popular culture and copyright in a former life, but still thinks about it all the time. Plays too little, types too much. Eternally too online.

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

New uncanny valley unlocked: inflatable corn maze for urban fall fests.
It’s like photos of corn on plastic in an inflatable corn maze on grass. The inflatable parts are yellow and blue. It looks like an AI hall of mirrors but it’s IRL.

Das politische Programm der CDU:

Syrien ist so sicher, dass dort niemand um sein Leben fürchten muss. Der Dortmunder Hauptbahnhof allerdings ist so gefährlich, dass dort jeder um sein Leben fürchten muss.

Ich kann mich nur wiederholen:

Wer sexualisierte und geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt in Zusammenhang mit Migration stellt, will nicht geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt verhindern, sondern Rassismus schüren.

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.

Die Berichterstattung zu Charlie Kirk wird derzeit massiv kritisiert, und DAZU IST ES VÖLLIG UNKLAR, warum die Ermordnung eines MAGA Influencers überall in Deutschland Tagesthema sein soll und nicht, wie die Ermordung zweier DEM-Politiker*innen im Juni, unter "Vermischtes" wegsortiert wird

Der Fall Kirk zeigt wieder, dass es im politischen Journalismus nicht allzu gut ausschaut. Viele haben die Prinzipien ihres Berufs nicht verstanden, können sich nicht verorten, sind von Begrifflichkeiten überfordert und treiben hilflos umher. Sehr selbstbewusst sind sie zum Glück dennoch.

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation.

Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
7. At all of the shelters visited in the middle of the night, ProBAR staff witnessed children who had been pulled out of their beds. They were confused and scared. At Hands of Healing Los Fresnos, one young girl was extremely distraught, crying and repeatedly saying that she could not go back to Guatemala. At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician. At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members. At Compass Connection in Harlingen, an attorney was able to meet with only one child. None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return. ProBAR’s client and named Plaintiff ARMD was at Compass Connection, but he was transported to a plane without notifying me as his attorney of record.

How is this surprising? The same thing *just* happened with AR/VR. "Imagine how great it will be in a few months/next year!" The years, decades even, of research and development before the current state are so easily forgotten under all the marketing glitz.

Last week, OpenAI finally released GPT-5, which many had hoped would usher in the next significant leap in A.I. capabilities. But it is just the latest product to suggest that A.I. might not get much better.
What If A.I. Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This?
GPT-5, a new release from OpenAI, is the latest product to suggest that progress on large language models has stalled.

Eine weitere Konsequenz aus der Causa Brosius-Gersdorf ist, dass jetzt direkt jeder kursierende Name für die Richterwahl präventiv von Tastaturaktivisten durch den Dreck gezogen wird, weil es schon einmal geklappt hat.

Yet another day that I am reminded of "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov. I thought it was a bit goofy when I first read it, now it seems almost too on the nose.
Excerpt from the short story: Margie went into the schoolroom. It was right next to her bedroom, and the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her. It was always on at the same time every day except Saturday and Sunday, because her mother said little girls learned better if they learned at regular hours. The screen was lit up, and it said: “Today’s arithmetic lesson is on the addition of proper fractions. Please insert yesterday’s homework in the proper slot.” Margie did so with a sigh. She was thinking about the old schools they had when her grandfather’s grandfather was a little boy. All the kids from the whole neighborhood came, laughing and shouting in the schoolyard, sitting together in the schoolroom, going home together at the end of the day. They learned the same things so they could help one another on the homework and talk about it. And the teachers were people. . . . The mechanical teacher was flashing on the screen: “When we add the fractions 3^ and 34 — ” Margie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.

Was looking into what Cognitive Scientists mean by ‘domain-general’ cognition, and then hit upon this. This is definitely NOT how we use that term.

Tip: read the last sentence to understand what went wrong here.

Sigh.
Domain-General Cognitive Ability In subject area: Psychology Domain-general cognitive abilities refer to cognitive skills that are not unique to humans but are present across various primate species and potentially other mammals and birds, indicating a general factor underlying cognitive performance that correlates with brain size and is associated with selective attention and working memory capacity.

Was viele nicht zu verstehen scheinen: Hier wurde ein Drehbuch durchgespielt, mit dem Ziel, eine für die AfD und damit für die schwarz-blaubraunen Träume gewisser Kreise bedrohlich wirkende Richterin zu verhindern und ein nur der AfD nützendes Kulturkampfszenario nach US-Vorbild durchzuziehen.
Streit über Kandidatin für Verfassungsgericht Diese Akteure stehen hinter der Netzkampagne gegen Brosius-Gersdorf Die vorerst gescheiterte Richterwahl hat die Koalition beschädigt. Vorausgegangen war dem Eklat eine orchestrierte Aktion von Abtreibungsgegnern, rechtspopulistischen Medien und dem Umfeld der AfD. Hatten sie Einfluss auf die Union?

Ministerin Bär ist gerade auf gutem Weg, das Vertrauen der dt. Wissenschaft in ihr Ministerium zu verspielen, indem sie öffentliche Diffamierung einer Wissenschafterin verharmlost & dabei auch noch der Angegriffenen Schuld zuschiebt. Schutz der Wissenschaft wäre ihr Auftrag & sie tut das Gegenteil.🤯

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.
