Los grandes medios españoles, de radio, televisión y prensa, están muy preocupados por las #FakeNews tras dos años llamando «conflicto» al asesinato indiscriminado de inocentes.

Solo cuando han visto que la población está mejor informada que ellos se han decidido a decir #Genocidio
Son lamentables.

yep, I was already reading about the refusal to deal with hate speech. Thanks for the heads up, will keep my distance.

Wow, really? It came into my radar because of some people I really respect writing there, including Margaret Atwood and Sara Ahmed. Will definitely do some research on the platform before giving it time.

He eliminat comptes de meta a Facebook i Instagram, WhatsApp encara no impossible. Molt trist renunciar a tants records i converses en aquestes plataformes, però ja tocava. La majoria d'amigues encara no són aquí, però ho havia de dir en algun lloc. Pensant també en substack. Algú ho fa servir?

I just deleted my meta account for facebook and instagram (whatsapp not doable yet). Sad to give up on so many memories, conversations in those platforms, buy it was long due. Most friends are not here yet, but had to mention it somewhere. Thinking about turning to substack too. Any experiences?

La consagración penal del genocidio palestino Un demoledor informe encargado por la ONU concluye que Israel ha cometido al menos cuatro de los cinco delitos contemplados en el “crimen de genocidio”

“Gaza arde”, dijo un ministro israelí. Un informe para la ONU concluye que Israel ha cometido al menos 4 de los 5 actos que definen el crimen de genocidio. El exterminio ya no es hipótesis: está ocurriendo.

It may not be a good technical argument, but 🫐 is an excellent example to discuss the other tiny #AI issues: constant errors, the tricks to get you engaged anyway, monopolies, excessive data extraction, energy excess, poor products sold to management that users dislike, basically the con itself.

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away.

A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

Al Overview Willem Dafoe is not in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but he has appeared in other Star Wars films, including The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

I have seen teams of PhD level experts fail at almost everything imaginable, including, but not limited to: agreeing on a place to have lunch, making coffee and finding a bus stop. And I have been on all those teams.

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".
