To mark the launch of GPT-5, and the fresh wave of people talking about this technology as if it's capable of thinking like human and even if it's not, it will be soon and it's inevitable and it's not actually stealing people's work, it's just learning like a human.

Here's why it's none of that.

How German media outlets helped pave the way for Israel’s murder of journalists in Gaza | Hanno Hauenstein In the run-up to this week’s deadly attacks, stories linking Palestinian reporters to Hamas gained currency, says Berlin-based journalist Hanno Hauenstein

I did not realize that the German press played such a central and proactive part in the Netanyahu government’s attempts to brand Palestinian journalists as terrorists.

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

β€œThe AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, β€˜leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

Maybe if we give the far-right more facts and context, they’ll receive them in good faith and see the errors in their analysis

Does anyone have any numbers on how much water will be saved by me deleting email attachments of my kids' school photos versus Midjourney rendering "Doctor Who Assistants Beach Volleyball On Planet Vaseline" at 1080p?

The targeted killing of Anas al-Sharif and five other journalists on Sunday means at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of October 2023.

No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed.

I see this a lot when comics fans try to judge something from the inside on how well it’ll work for people on the outside. People who know lots about the Avengers tell me that you need to know lots about the Avengers to enjoy ABENGERS FOREVER, while people who didn’t know anything about the…

I think comics-literate people get overly hung up on questions of β€œwill newcomers get the references,” whether newcomers need to get the references or not.

"You shouldn't strike because you perform a service," seems to be the default response from much of the public. Oh, you're saying we should be OK with real terms pay cuts because we *checks notes* provide something the country needs to keep running. Sure, my landlord will be fine with that.

I’ve been a train driver for 36 years. We haven’t achieved decent pay and conditions because we have benevolent employers. The vast majority of the British workforce have been brainwashed since Thatcher to see trades unions as their enemy. Shit pay and conditions are the result.

Cue a horde of Labour ghouls explaining that Wikipedia is bad, actually, and making jokes about how people will have to do their own research for essays now. Remember, the party can never be wrong.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.

Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

also, not sure if it’s surprising or kind of telling that a music magazine article on youngsters getting into physical media doesn’t even mention the K word.

Even if I didn’t have a teenage fan in the house I’ve seen the k-pop sections in record stores and they are a sight to behold
