A dog helped an injured wild crow. Now they’re best friends. “There’s an important lesson there, you know, about everybody coexisting and getting along,” said Autumn Buck, who helped save the crow.

Meeko, a border collie, recently took a liking to an injured wild crow.

Despite their size differences — Meeko weighs roughly 35 pounds; Russell, the crow, is about 12 ounces — they became inseparable.

FPÖ – Kickl: Habe soeben den Regierungsbildungsauftrag zurückgelegt Trotz mehrfachen Entgegenkommens war die ÖVP zu entscheidenden Kompromissen nicht bereit

Meta trainierte KI mit Terabyte an raubkopierten Büchern Meta hat Datensets mit raubkopierten Büchern für das Training seiner KI-Modelle verwendet, wie E-Mails belegen.

Meta hat Buchautoren bestohlen, um mit ihren Büchern seine KI-Modelle zu trainieren. Sogar Mark Zuckerberg wusste davon.

Thanks, I'll check them out in more detail!

Interesting read, thanks for sharing! Do you have any pointers towards articles that go into more detail regarding (modern) exclusion criteria and their origins?

Will the future of academic publishing be paperless? Intriguing thought. What could be the downsides of authors no longer having to write papers? Would it improve quality of research or is there part of the writing process that is important for research too?
