This is exactly why the general public isnt ready for the so-called AI-Revolution yet. They don't even know what it means...
Like i bet some CEOs and Politicians out there think this is true and correct!

Palestinian freedom is a pre-requisite for our own, because if we can't protest and object and take action against almost 650 days of genocide and war crimes of this scale by Israel, we can't object to anything. If we can't save Palestine, we can't save ourselves when the fascists come for us.

And this is why the AI hype is really stupid 🫠 it leads to a reproduction of the most common not the best, most accurate or even real answer
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Honestly, if you're older than 25 and doing art, you owe Fatma your voice - she was assassinated with her entire family for just wanting to be 26 and doing art, and all she did wrong was being born as a person that our culture allows to be assassinated in a genocidal apartheid regime.
Israel will murder any Palestinian that speaks up, because killing a Palestinian is just one of millions harmed, starved, maimed, murdered - but letting Palestinians speak will tear down Israels' ability to commit apartheid and genocide.

Bei den erwirtschafteten Gewinnen gab es einen Zuwachs von 1% und bei den eigenen Vergütungen ein Plus von 10% - der Unterschied ist die Null!
In die eigene Tasche geht es fix, bei Tarifverhandlungen jammern sie und sagen es gibt nix!
Obwohl die Gewinne der DAX-Konzerne im vergangenen Jahr gesunken sind, gönnen sich deren Chefs einen ordentlichen Schluck aus der Pulle.

Is it a war crime to execute 15 paramedics and rescue workers one by one ? Much of the West wants you to believe that it depends on whether you're Israel.

This is a downstream effect of Productivity Brain that I've only noticed with the rise of LLMs—people actually think the goal of language and math class is to "produce" essays and finished worksheets.
Writing is thinking. We get students to write so that they learn how to think and use their brains. Using LLMs to do your work is like trying to be an athlete by getting someone else to do your training for you.
What is the point of what we do if the interactions are not authentic? It is evident that students are increasingly turning to LLMs to "help" them do their work, with such dreary results - from handwaving generalizations that are rhetorically fluent but vacuous to outright hallucinations.

I think this is very cool, extremely important, and also I deeply wish the phrase "industry-wide" would not lead to a website that allows sign-ups only from exactly two extremely influential nations on a single continent. Regardless, great this exists - if you're a US/Canadian worker, check it out!

Our name comes from a fabled magic trick, because gamedev often feels like an impossible feat of conjuration. But every magic show has an end, and after 14 years, Studio Fizbin will be winding down operations this spring after releasing Reignbreaker.

I stand with Edd.
I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Israel just killed all humanitarian services for Palestinians. Medical, food, water, everything. The genocide continues. The scale of Israel's relentless murder and terror is unspeakable - a blight on humanity like very few evils in history.

I disagree with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social so hard, I don't even know where to begin. But I know many of us listen to his podcast every now and then, and I'd like you to know why I think this take is not the “pro-immigrant” take he thinks it is.
