1970 hat man an einem Strand in Oregon einen toten Wal mit Dynamit gesprengt, dessen Überreste dann auf Zuschauer u Autos geregnet sind. Hab heute random einen Bericht eines lokalen TV-Senders dazu gesehen u es lohnen sich wirklich die gesamten 3,5 Min. Großes Fernsehen. youtu.be/V6CLumsir34?...

I wrote a blog post that examines why AI reasoning models aren't thinking. So what are they doing?

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

ich halte diesen beitrag tatsächlich für einen schlüsseltext unserer zeit. es geht viel um jüngere, schlussendlich aber betrifft das alle. was wir aktuell (nicht mehr) tun, ruiniert unsere sozialen beziehungen, uns selbst und am ende die demokratische gesellschaft www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

“If you’ve ever read an academic article, the chances are that you were unwittingly paying tribute to a vast profit-generating machine that exploits the free labour of researchers and siphons off public funds.”
