We all need a a timeline cleanse!

Wir befinden uns in einem dramatischen Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, die schlimmsten Klimafolgen (Verlust von vielen Küstenstädten, Hungersnöte, Konflikte, Kipppunkte etc.) noch abzuwenden, und die Politik macht…
Bislang hat die Wissenschaft die Klimaerwärmung korrekt vorhergesagt.

Das Bild zeigt eine übersichtliche Vergleichstabelle mit dem Titel „Mensch vs. LLM“. Links steht die Kategorie „MENSCH“ mit einem orangefarbenen Silhouetten‑Icon, rechts die Kategorie „LLM (z. B. ChatGPT)“ mit einem kleinen Roboter‑Symbol.
Die Tabelle listet acht Eigenschaften gegenübergestellt, jeweils Mensch links und LLM rechts:
| Mensch | LLM | |-------|------|
| Bewusstsein, Absichten | Kein Bewusstsein |
| Tiefes Verständnis | Wahrscheinlichkeitsmuster |
| Flexible Sprache | Flüssige Texte |
| Fehler durch Ablenkung | Fehler durch Datenlücken |
| Lernen aus Erfahrung | Kein echtes Lernen |
| Kreativ & kausal | Musterbasiert |
| Prüft & bewertet Wissen | Keine Selbstprüfung |
| Langsame Reaktion | Blitzschnelle Antworten |
Das Design ist schlicht, modern und gut strukturiert, mit Icons zur visuellen Unterstützung und klarer typografischer Trennung der beiden Spalten.
Menschen lassen sich leicht von der angeblichen Intelligenz von KI täuschen.
Der Grund: unsere kognitive "Sparsamkeit". Wir prüfen Kompetenz nicht, sondern vertrauen Signalen wie:
- flüssige Sprache
- kohärente Struktur
- Fachbegriffe
- selbstsicherer Ton
LLMs beherrschen diese Signale perfekt.

OTD in 1992 CSTO alliance was signed in Moscow. A mutual defense organization that has enlarged without asking NATO for permission.
If you're a member of an alliance with Russia, Russia will either attack you or sit idle when someone else does.

Ich glaube, wir werden erst in 10+ Jahren wirklich einschätzen können, was für ein Segen die Entwicklung von mRNA-Impfungen war. Nicht nur bei Krebs wird das noch ein echter Gamechanger werden, sondern auch bei kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen und vielleicht sogar Diabetes.

Two-panel graphic comparing ICE activity and 2024 U.S. election results. The top panel shows a heatmap of the United States with red hotspots indicating areas of high ICE activity. The bottom panel displays a U.S. electoral map with states colored red and blue to represent election outcomes.
That’s what I call political intimidation.

Guten Morgen! #followerpower: könnt ihr mir gute Quellen zur praktischen digitalen Selbstverteidigung für Menschen die nicht computeraffin sind (und auch nicht werden wollen) empfehlen? Also in einfacher Sprache und nicht "stell alles auf Linux und andere Tools um" das ist in dem Fall unrealistisch.

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky
Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

my conspiracy theory is that palantir doesn't actually work. if it was as scary as people are saying, shouldn't it just know who i am already? whys it need to coerce me into telling it. i think palantir is just a racist guy on a computer going "arrest that black person and say we did it cuz of data"

Gewalt im Iran: Manche müssen für die Kugeln zahlen, die ihre Lieben getötet haben
Im Iran passiert gerade Unvorstellbares, ein Massaker mit wohl mehr als 30.000 Toten. Fernab davon bleibt uns nur, der Welt von dem Grauen zu erzählen. Also hört hin.
Es hat ein paar Tage gedauert, bis ich mich getraut habe diesen Text zu lesen. Auch wenn noch so schrecklich ist was passiert und man sich verstecken will vor der Welt: was sollen die Menschen im Iran sagen? Es ist unsere Aufgabe, hinzusehen und hinzuhören. Zumindest das.
