LPF'er Philomena Bijlhout mocht na ga beëdiging in 2002 dezelfde dag nog het veld ruimen vanwege jokken over haar 'arbeidsverleden'. Het lijkt me dat @D66 het daar niet op wil laten aankomen?

So, this whole stunt was a kind of vibe-portfolio-schtick and it worked brilliantly as Sam took the bait. One more reason to keep a really really safe distance from openAI’s products.

Expect the whole thing to come down in the next couple of months. The money machine ran out of gas, the claims of LLM’s usefulness and future investments are getting batshit insane. Looking at you, Elno.

The continuing lie that AI will replace so and so much blue collar jobs is crafted for one type of audience and one only: middle managers and anyone higher up in corporate hierarchy. They have the power and access to funding to buy into that lie, while most of them lack the competence to see […]

Oidido was te gierig om de klantenservice intern of zelfs in Nederland onder te brengen.

Karremans probeerde gisteren in debat ook al de schuld bij Europese tekortkomingen te leggen. Maar daar ligt het probleem echt niet. We geven miljarden per jaar exclusief aan de VS voor matige software. Daar ligt het probleem.
“Kathmann zegt hierin van mening te verschillen met Eurostack. ‘Het zijn nooit wetten geweest die ons in de weg zaten, maar het probleem was hoe overheden publiek geld uitgeven. Privacywetten maken ons niet kapot, miljarden uitgeven aan Microsoft maakt ons kapot.’” […]

This morning, I heard a couple of birds both rare and uncommon for this time of year in the Netherlands.

Turned out this was one starling sitting in the rain gutter of our house, casually imitating a host of bird species he prolly once had come across.

Ik dacht dat we verkiezingen hadden gehad en dat de VVD stevig had verloren.
