LLM+China Fun! According to #DeepSeek, there's a Metro Line 10 in #Wuhan. But it's on no map (e.g., www.travelchinaguide.com/images/map/h...). According to a handful of Chinese websites, Line 10 is under construction. According to #ChatGPT it's "planned."
I guess, I'll find out when I get there 🤷😅

As it turns out, Grok 4 is still having trouble figuring out how many hands a "cute mascot for a read-later app" should have. (I'm considering hiring a full-time mascot for @poketto-me.bsky.social , but the candidates don't quite meet my standards.)

(1/6) Here's an unpopular opinion: Not everything that can be built should be built. Or at least, not without considering the consequences.

Take Google's Veo3 AI video generator — a technical marvel that's already being used to flood TikTok with deepfakes about the Israel-Iran war.

Creepy, funny, or smart marketing? I've been chatting with #ChatGPT about how to write a #Chrome Extension, when, all of a sudden, ChatGPT started promoting its own Chrome Extension me 😅🤨

Treffender Leitartikel im @ct.de Magazin: Was wir brauchen ist nicht "mehr" #KI, sondern "bessere" KI!

#Digitalisierung in #Österreich 😅 (Microsoft hat den Support für Windows 7 übrigens ca. 2020 eingestellt)

While the world has been fretting over GenAI, a whole new computing paradigm has emerged almost unnoticed: "organoid intelligence", linking lab-grown human brain tissue with electrical circuits. Sounds like a brain-in-a-vet hooked up to a computer chip? That's pretty much it! But it actually works!

Lustig oder traurig? Seit fast 20 Jahren verfolge ich die Diskussion um "Open Source in der öffentlichen Verwaltung", aber mehr als eine vage Absichtserklärung gibt es dazu auch von der neuen Regierung nicht. (Dazu @zorbasu.bsky.social — etwas resigniert — im aktuellen @ct.de Magazin.)

1945: Geburtsstunde einer sehr #österreichischen Lösung — und der ersten #Dreierkoalition (die allerdings nur neun Monate, von Mai bis Dezember, im Amt war).

As someone with a fairly nuanced view of #GenAI, I appreciate the emergence of research into how these tools affect our #cognitive abilities. New studies now point to the veracity of a basic intuition: Increased use of #AI in knowledge work may dampen #critical thinking. (1/5)

Map projections are... fun! In other news: I'm starting to see the merit of the #flatearth hypothesis! 🗺️
