Künstliche Intelligenz Eine Schrottblase bedroht die Geldblase Christian Stöcker Eine Kolumne von Christian Stöcker Die Angst wächst, dass die billionenschwere Investitionsblase in KI platzt. Es gibt aber noch eine zweite KI-Blase. Sie besteht aus dem, was heutige Modelle generieren – und könnte der ersten beim Platzen helfen.

Kolumne: Im Silicon Valley und der US-Tech-Branche beginnt man jetzt, Investitionsblasen als etwas Erstrebenswertes zu betrachten. Im Berein KI gibt es aber nicht nur eine Blase, sondern zwei: Eine aus Geld, und eine aus Schrott. Die zweite bedroht die erste.

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

Ooh I missed this excellent thread, thanks Jigar

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale

The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

demonization of opponents,
ostentatious disregard of constitution,
a gestapo hunting down those who do not look pure white,
the parliament eliminated,
preparing war in plain sight,
....
Does that ring any bell? Does this remind us of something?
Does it?
Because that's where we are.
Now.

Too much social media gives AI chatbots ‘brain rot’ Large language models fed low-quality data skip steps in their reasoning process.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Boko Haram kills more Muslims than Christians but it will be a cold day in Hell before any Trumpist gives a shit about that.

Guten Morgen. Das selbe Muster sehen wir auch bei Heute.

‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

"... ‘AI is often introduced into our classrooms ... without proper debate or consent,’ says @irisvanrooij.bsky.social. ‘This is not just about using tools like ChatGPT. It’s about the broader influence of the tech industry on how we teach, how we think, and how we define knowledge.’"

40 years ago, the International Court of Justice stated that there was no "tie of territorial sovereignty between the territory of Western Sahara and the Kingdom of Morocco" and that it was up to the people of Western Sahara to decide the future of themselves/their territory.
Morocco is a colonizer

Epstein's email 20. She begins a money laundering investigation, wi thout the necessary requirement of specified illegal funds, 21 She says she iS contemplating charging a violation of a money transmi tting statute, though Epstein has no such business,

Epstein was incensed. He and his attorneys took steps to back out of the NPA he’d signed. On Oct. 15, 2007, Epstein sent himself an email and attached a word document he wrote titled, “Did you know that.”

In Nov 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sent himself an email with a document attached titled, “Acosta challenge.” It was intended for his attorneys to send to Alex Acosta after they met with him. The letter criticized the federal prosecutor who pursued his alleged money laundering.

Industrial electrification is the new frontier: Next week I will give the opening keynote at one of Europe’s leading events on Industrial Heat Pumps in the heart of Prague.

“Cinema is liberation”: as more acclaimed films emerge from Palestine, why are many still fighting to reach an audience?
This year’s Oscars triumph for No Other Land should have been a watershed. But new titles still struggle to be seen. @ellenejones.bsky.social reports

Most British young men reject the far right - UK in a changing Europe Emilia Belknap and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte explain their analysis on the demographics of Reform UK voters in the UK. They argue that while the dominant narrative is that young men are the most likely ...

An inconvenient truth. @turnbulldugarte.com and @emiliabelknap.bsky.social puncture a pervasive myth. ‬ "Among young respondents aged 18-25, a very comfortable majority of women reject Reform UK (75%), and a similarly large majority of men in the same age group share the same view (71%)."

The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Warum ist dieses Shitter in Europa noch nicht gesperrt?

Der Sturm vor ein paar Tagen hat 2 Telefonmasten abgeknickt.

Heute wurden neue Masten gesetzt. Ratet wer die zwei Jungs waren, die da auf die Masten geklettert sind um die Leitungen wieder anzuhängen.

"Nicht nur Mercedes, alle deutschen Autobauer kämpfen mit Absatzverlusten: Auf ihrem wichtigsten Markt China werden sie bei der schnellen Umstellung der Autokäufer auf Elektroautos von heimischen Konkurrenten abgehängt"

Dazu passend👇🏼

Mannheim 🇩🇪 takes the lead 🥇 with the 165 MW (an increase from the planned 150 MW) heat pump, extracting heat from the river, prosaically named 'Flusswärmepumpe 2'.

The Rhine, like other rivers a source of German lyric, surely deserves a better name for something to which it gives so much warmth?

Where are the industrial electrification solution providers based?

I started drawing a global map. It includes industrial heat pump + electro-thermal storage manufacturers.

Please take a look and make suggestions for changes - very much work in progress: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...

Simon Bazelon & @simon_bazelon It's time to renew the Democratic Party. Introducing DECIDING TO WIN: the most comprehensive account yet of where Democrats went wrong, and what we need to do to win again. With a year of research and tons of new data, by @Laurenhpope, @liamkerr, and me. Link and below. [Below the cover of "Deciding to Win": a report on how Democrats should campaign, blurbed by James Carville, Cheri Bustos, and Patrick Ruffini

Did you hear about this new study recommending that the Democrats move right on most issues?

Well, I just took a moment to dig into their data — and, lo!, it is nonsense.

They're testing not voters' opinions about policies, but the parties' MESSAGING about policies — which is very different!
