Sprachmodelle wünschten, sie wären so konsistent, vorhersehbar und transparent das Ding!

Is Santa Real? Many users feel they're getting presents from him. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Internasjonale forskere vil ha tiltak mot ultraprosessert mat Global forskning viser helseutfordringene ved ultraprosessert mat og etterlyser tiltak på nasjonalt nivå – også i Norge.

Det er noe… «faglig» som skurrer litt for meg i denne nyhetssaken og debatten som har fulgt siste uka, og skal prøve å forklare hva. www.vg.no/i/lngVKy?utm...

Trumps fredsplan: – Full kapitulasjon for Ukraina Den nye planen for fred i Ukraina er fullstendig på russiske premisser, mener forsvarsforsker Karsten Friis.

Tenk at USA har sunket så dypt at de danser etter pipa til en kjeltring som Putin. Det nye utkastet til "fredsavtale" som har blitt forelagt Ukraina er en skam. I praksis går USA inn for å belønne Russlands angrepskrig i Europa, og permanent svekke Ukraina.

EU’s digital law cuts spark fears and doubts on competitiveness | Euractiv "If it's about competitiveness, this is certainly not helping," said Mario Mariniello from a Brussels-based think tank

📰 "#Privacy activists are predictably outraged. Billboards urging Ursula von der Leyen to put Europeans over #American tech CEOs lined the street outside the #Commission HQ, the Berlaymont, throughout Wednesday morning."

Oslo has been shifting to electric buses for the past few years and while there have been challenges, the system generally works well. It's a question of having the proper infrastructure to support fast and parallel charging of buses, e.g. at end stations where buses often wait anyways

The Commission’s deregulation agenda has opened the door to Big Tech lobbying.

🫂 During a tour in Silicon Valley, EU Commissioner Virkkunen shamelessly courted Big Tech CEOs promising to ‘simplify’ EU rules.

Thanks to @mkolain.bsky.social and @anke.domscheit-berg.de for commenting on the summit for those like me who weren't there!

Continue with their business practices.
I really struggle to understand why there isn't more ambition given the situation we are in now.
For us in Norway this must mean that we can't wait for the EU on this and must go forward with building digi. sovereignty, strengthening and using (F)OSS...

Instead lots of talk of private sector initiatives and simplification(=deregulation and deprioritizing protecting rights) that will hurt European organizations (btw this is not just for-profit companies, but also foundations/non-profits/volunteers) by letting the usual suspects...

You know what would have been an ambitious and impactful announcement at the summit? If Merz would have said "We are switching all federal office software to open source by 2027" or if Macron would have said "we are going to close loopholes in regulation to ensure a level playing field."..

By not actively shaping digital infrastructure as we want it in Europe and leaving the field wide open for large US firms to build quasi-monopolies. Deregulating more will just further entrench the domination of already too big corporations...

I've been reading a few people's reactions to the #DigitalSovereignty Summit #Digitalgipfel in Berlin yesterday. The summit did not seem to live up to its expectations. Talk of simplification, deregulation and "the market will solve this" is exactly how we got into this mess: ...

Nope. The headline should actually read “Astronomers using ML discover quasars acting as lenses”

Digital suverenitet betyr å gjøre bestilling av burgere uavhengig av store amerikanske internettselskaper

Cloudflare-problemer tar ned nettsider over hele verden Alt fra kode24 til ChatGPT og burgere hos Max sliter tirsdag ettermiddag.

Nå har Cloudflare-problemene gått for langt:

@arnfinns.bsky.social fikk ikke bestilt burger på Max. </3

Michael Kolain mit einer Zusammenfassung was bisher beim #DigitalGipfel besprochen wurde.

Es wird Ankündigungen geben, was alles passiert, aber es gibt keinen politischen Nachfolgeprozess, dass diese Geschäftsmodelle dann auch in Richtung einer gemeinwohlorientierten Infrastruktur geht.

ChatGPT violated copyright law by ‘learning’ from song lyrics, German court rules OpenAI ordered to pay undisclosed damages for training its language models on artists’ work without permission

Today we demonstrated against Palantir at the Norwegian Digitization ministry ⬇️

Gruppen som demonstrerer. Folk har plakater mot Palantir og palestinske flagg.

‪I dag tidlig var vi med å protestere mot Palantir i Norge når de hadde et møte med digitaliseringsministeren. Daglig leder @gloptimist.bsky.social holdt appell og påpekte at Palantirs programvare brukes internasjonalt til å krenke menneskerettighetene.

Vi brukte morgentimene til å protestere mot Palantir i Norge når de hadde invitert seg selv til salgsmøte hos digitaliseringsministeren.

Digitaler Omnibus: „Größter Rückschritt für digitale Grundrechte in der Geschichte der EU“ Die Europäische Kommission arbeitet an Plänen für einen Kahlschlag bei ihren Regeln für die digitale Welt. Das belegen unter anderem Dokumente, die wir veröffentlicht haben. Im Europäischen Parlament ...

Das Echo auf die von uns veröffentlichten Pläne der EU-Kommission zum Kahlschlag bei KI- & Datenschutzregulierung ist verheerend. Mehr als 120 NGOs warnen vor dem Grundrechteabbau. Auch drei Fraktionen im EU-Parlament stellen sich gegen die durchgesickerten Pläne. Wird von der Leyen einlenken?

En plakat for en markering. På plakaten står det "Palantir ut av Norge"

I dag møtte digitaliseringsministeren Palantir. EFN tok del i dagens markering mot samarbeidet mellom den norske regjeringen og #Palantir (initiert av @attacnorge.bsky.social). Norge er bygget på verdier som demokrati, åpenhet og tillit. Palantir står for det motsatte. #StopPalantir

When industry says “simplify” they mean “deregulate”. ‘Deregulation’ means less privacy, more consumer harms, less competition, and fewer safeguards. The tech bros will get even richer and Europeans will pay the price. Let’s not allow Big Tech and its authoritarian allies to tell the EU what to do.

Vil du ha Palantir ut av Norge? Kom nå til DFD @Akersgata 49 for markeringen mot overvåking og mot samarbeid mellom regjeringen og Palantir

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6,

"Given the complexity and length of the song text, coincidence can be ruled out as the cause of the reproduction of the song lyrics," the court wrote in a press release.
