Ich beneide ja schon echt Leute, die schnell lesen können. Manche schaffen 2 Bücher pro Tag, wow!

Ich hingegen habe gerade 80 DinA4 Seiten (ca 390 Wörter pro Seite) in 7 Stunden gelesen. Okay, ich habe auch Korrektorat und Betalesen speziell bei der Geschichte gemacht, aber trotzdem echt viel. :0

Soundtober Tag 2: Blätter rascheln/knistern

Zitate aus “Tim & Keiji und der magische Adventskalender”.

Sind zwar jeweils keine Blätter per se, aber doch sehr nah dran, also zähl ich’s mal. Und ich mein: "Blattpapier" …

#TuKudmA #Buchzitat #📚💙 #winterwunderland

„Die schneebedeckten Tannenbäume ragten hoch. Nur wenig Licht schien hinein, dadurch, dass sie so nah aneinander wuchsen. Trotz Windstille raschelten einzelne Tannenzapfen an den Ästen, schienen ihn wie jemandes Fußstapfen zu verfolgen – oder bildete er sich das bloß ein?“

„Oder das knisternde Geräusch, das Keiji beim Zudrücken des Briefes erzeugte …“

Did you know about this youtube feature?

When you're on desktop or on any device where you can control the video via a keyboard, you can use the 0-9 number keys to jump to these sections of a video. 0 gets you to the beginning, 1 to 10% of the video, 2 to 20% and so on until 9 to 90%.

Soundtober Tag 1: Geflüster

#TuKudmA #Geräusche #Buchzitat #💙📚 #Soundtober #flüstern

„Tim schloss seine Augen, im selben Moment flüsterte ihm eine Stimme zu: »Tim, von welch trügerischen Sinnen bist du ängstlich ergriffen? Die hölzernen Riesen, gleichweise wie fröhliche Geister, lächeln dich holdselig an!« Sie erklang in seinem Kopf wie seine eigenen Gedanken, allerdings hörte sie sich nicht wie seine eigene innere Stimme an, was ihn schaudern ließ. Gleichzeitig echote sie sanft und warm, am liebsten würde er ihr den ganzen Tag zuhören. Doch das kitzelnde Gefühl in seinem Ohr sowie in seinem Kopf verblasste genauso abrupt wie es sich herangeschlichen hatte.“

AI study aid chatbots are supposed to help kids with homework.

Instead, they provide date rape-drug recipes and “pickup artistry” advice.

KnowUnity’s ‘SchoolGPT’ chatbot was “helping 31,031 other students” when it produced a detailed how-to for synthesizing fentanyl

You can tell a technology is good when they have to make propaganda films about it to convince people of its value

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · May 22

These episodes of White Mirror sound terrible. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Now Google — a leading developer in AI technology — wants to move the cultural conversations away from the technology as seen in “The Terminator,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Ex Machina.”

To do so, the Mountain View, Calif., tech giant is funding short films about AI that portray the technology in a less nightmarish light.

The Google initiative, called “AI on Screen,” is a partnership with Santa Monica-based Range Media Partners, a talent management and production company that represents a wide variety of entertainment clients, including actors and writers. Range is producing the films.

So far, two short films have been greenlit through the project: One, titled “Sweetwater,” tells the story of a man who visits his childhood home and discovers a hologram of his dead celebrity mother. Michael Keaton will direct and appear in the film, which was written by his son, Sean Douglas. It is the first project they are working on together.

The other, “Lucid,” examines a couple who want to escape their suffocating reality and risk everything on a device that allows them to share the same dream.

Tested this months ago when the feature was introduced, while it bans them it does nothing for their function within the server. bsky.app/profile/rapp...

After testing on my server by banning the Viggle app (Animate option) using its User ID it was still able to make posts. Also disabling "/" commands for users did not prevent them from using the bot. External bots were already not allowed on the server as well.
