10 years Sonophilia: @smyselle.bsky.social, @merzmensch.bsky.social, @matthiasroder.bsky.social, Walter Werzowa discussing about the meaning of art and creativity in the age of machines. The audience takes part vividly. I liked the opinion that art is a fuzzy term. It is indeed.

„Was für mich eine Dystopie war, ist für andere eine erstrebenswerte Zukunft.“ Die US-amerikanische Medienwissenschaftlerin und Sciencefiction-Forscherin Sherryl Vint im Gespräch mit Christine Lötscher von GdG. geschichtedergegenwart.ch/ich-verstehe...

"The OpenAI to Z Challenge has mobilize researchers worldwide, but has also faced criticism from archaeologists, Indigenous communities, and ethicists who argue it ignores... consultation with the more than 300 Indigenous groups who live in the rainforest"

This is my favorite piece yet on the state of AI & journalism. “The only journalism business strategy that works […] is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.”

Zur Info: Es gibt ein paar Wege, diese KI-Übersicht auszublenden. Zum Beispiel, indem man „-noai“ beim Suchbegriff hinzufügt

Das Kernproblem ist, dass die meisten eben das Standard-Setting inklusive KI-Übersicht nutzen werden - aber zumindest individuell kann man es vermeiden

Ein Problem ist: Bei Suchen blendet Google eine Übersicht mittels KI ein & diese macht immer wieder Fehler

Hier eine simple Suchanfrage: Wie alt ist die Gen Alpha heute?

Ganz oben blendet Google nun eine falsche Behauptung der KI ein

Der erste normale Link hingegen liefert sofort richtige Infos

this is insane - ask grok 4 a sensitive political question and it genuinely searches Musk's tweets to find an answer. this is not a hallucination where LLMs lack the capacity to report on their own capabilities — you can just see the searches the bot makes

After years of research, I’m thrilled to share my article on biometric voting in Africa.
I focus on the companies who sell the tech. They have become key actors for both election management and citizen identification. Yet we know little about them.

I knew AI was coming for my job. I wasn't prepared for it to come for my heart

Just in: a reflection on the reality of digital life via @yalereview.bsky.social! Somehow Taco Bell comes up in the 4th sentence...

A huge thank you to @lmesseri.bsky.social & Noreen Khawaja for inviting me to riff on a subject of ongoing fascination—& to Sam Huber for his thorough editing & care.

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.

Folks, always stay safe! Use Glaze or Nightshade! Protect yourselves 🙌

Make them think twice before doing this!

Also @hf.co should take this dang dataset down. It’s done do without company and more importantly, users individual consent.

Although Antwerp police is only involved in a European project to develop the behavioural detection cameras, several cities in the Netherlands are already experimenting with it. As expected with a lot of false positives #AI #surveillance

I often worry that we've become inured to the harms of poorly applied data-driven decisions. This @alixdunn.com podcast with @kevindeliban.bsky.social @techntools.bsky.social is both sobering and humbling and quite an entertaining story of fighting the good fight open.spotify.com/episode/5yGc...
