Hmm.
After cashing out for Palantir in Germany why not pay for Zero eyes too?
Give them the Andi Scheuer award for public service
“…seemingly rather than probe why the images weren’t more carefully reviewed to prevent a false alarm on campus, the school appeared to agree with ZeroEyes and blame the student.”
School security AI flagged clarinet as a gun. Exec says it wasn’t an error.
Human review didn’t stop AI from triggering lockdown at panicked middle school.

Öffentlicher Hinweis (für Thomas Kessen, Sprecher „Unsere Kurve“):

Alle zahlen Steuern in Deutschland.

Aber nur Fußball zwingt den Staat, Millionen für Polizei-Einsätze auszugeben.

Jeder Rosenzucht-Verein ist sozial verträglicher (zahlt Steuern; benötigt nie Hundertschaften).

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

Gedruckte BÜCHER.

Es gibt welche, die mich vermuten lassen, dass es eigentlich kein Waldbrand ist, sondern prophylaktische Selbstverbrennung des Baums angesichts der Gefahr, abgeholzt und zu Papier für dieses Buch zu werden.

"When researchers asked people … to list every taboo word they could think of, English … and Spanish speakers … rattled off an average of 16 words, Germans more than tripled this with an average of 53 words."

Not sure englishspeaking critics of AI are aware of this, but the new-ish AI-generated autotranslate-tool on Youtube which dubs english vids into your local languages now also translates live shows of experimental Hip Hop, rendering YT useless for sharing rap vids outside US/UK. Ridiculous.
Haha, ohgottohgott, tut mir leid... :D Wobei das fasst nen dadaistisch-experimentelle Qualität hat, die viel zu schnellen autotranslate AI-voices. Naja, vielleicht auch nicht ;)
