A page from the book which discusses an „ethical problem“ about AI (deepfakes), featuring an AI-generated image of Pope Francis wearing a white puffer-jacket

Visited the local bookstore and found this in the children‘s section. „AI and YOU - interactively experience and understand artificial intelligence“

I stopped by the Bosch booth to see the company's Alexa+ enabled Series 800 espresso maker. Officially named the Personal Al Barista, Powered by Alexa+
It wasn't set up to take my coffee order, but I can see the advantage in asking your machine for the drink you want. These machines can make 30 different drinks, complete with the milk of your choice. Talking that through with Alexa+ may be easier than working through the menu to get to what you want.

In effect, it's another Echo speaker in your home.
So yes, your espresso machine can turn on your lights, or tell you the weather or listen to you whinge about your day - then fix you a cappuccino to make it all better.

I want German chancellor Friedrich Merz to supervise my masters thesis. I could blatantly breach all ethical conventions and he’d just acknowledge it and go „Hmmm, well, this is very complex, the student probably did it for the betterment of science so they’ll get a pass instead of an investigation“

My New Year’s resolutions:
- hate AI
- read more books
- learn how to correctly spell Friedrich Nichie‘s name
- defeat capitalism (in a video game)
- become absolutely insufferab- I mean, get more into philosophy
