Deutsches Ja zu Chatkontrolle? CCC & Co. warnen vor Grundrechtsgefährdung Vor der entscheidenden Abstimmung im EU-Rat appellieren NGOs an die Bundesregierung, bei ihrem Nein zur Chatkontrolle zu bleiben. Sonst drohe eine Katastrophe.

Die auf EU-Ebene geplante #Chatkontrolle verletzt das Recht auf #Privatsphäre und schreckt Menschen davon ab, ihre #Kommunikationsgrundrechte wahrzunehmen. Die Bundesregierung muss deshalb bei ihrem Nein zur Chatkontrolle bleiben!

In a digital world, talking to sensitive sources is nearly impossible without encryption. The EU’s #ChatControl plan is an attack on accountability journalism - and a gift to surveillance

Die Zeit lässt ja aktuell die Frage diskutieren, ob links Schuld ist an AfD und der aktuellen CDU/CSU. Statt Selbstverantwortung der Wähler*innen oder gar (mediale) Selbstkritik der vermeintlich erfolgreichen Erinnerungskultur gehts also um Schuldzuweisung. Man kennts ja nicht anders. 1/

Can LLMs replace human teaching assistants in grading homework assignments?
This semester, we ran a study in our Bioinformatics course with 100+ enrolled master's students, whose assignments were graded by 6 LLMs. 1/

Kann man eigentlich irgendwo nachlesen, wie hoch das Spendenaufkommen pro Partei insgesamt ist? Mit euren Werten könnte man dann auch das Verhältnis Groß vs Kleinspenden anschauen! Fänd ich auch sehr spannend. Danke für eure Arbeit @lobbycontrol.bsky.social !

Hi, Vox reporter here: If you've had a study section, NIH travel, or other NIH-related meeting cancelled (or not), raise your hand! Reply or DM me, and repost for visibility if you're able.

Worth also pointing out that there are many "tests so easy no AI system can pass them".

Moravec's paradox remains.

Zuckerberg macht ernst: auf Instagram werden Posts zu den Hashtags #savedemocracy #fascist #project2025 #antifascist #bidenharris nicht mehr angezeigt, da sie „sensible Inhalte“ darstellen würde. Wer Faschisten unterstützt, für den sind das halt „sensible Inhalte“.
