Trotz des immensen möglichen Schadens der #Chatkontrolle für Meinungsfreiheit, Pressefreiheit, Privatsphäre, Demokratie und IT-Sicherheit ist das Thema medial derzeit noch ganz schön unterberichtet. Hier steht, um was es eigentlich geht: netzpolitik.org/2025/fragen-...

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Wenn man die Arbeitszeit erhöht und parallel die Pflegestufe 1 streichen will, ist das Ziel übrigens recht offensichtlich, dass Frauen wieder in traditionelle Rollenverhältnisse gedrängt werden sollen.

You spend years warning about this stuff... ...and then they just come out and admit it in public... ...and still nobody cares because they're too busy worrying about trans Cracker Barrel labubu vaccination immigrants eating their pets

We’re bringing back surveillance capital based behaviorist social physics as total social control

They've lost the 9yos

Incredible talk here at the #UNGA80 #indoorair call to action from our very own Violet Affleck! Reminding us that #longcovid affects all of us, the #covid19 pandemic is ongoing and we have failed to protect our children. Thank you, Violet, for speaking the truth to this room 🙏🏻

Die Kinder, die jetzt aufwachsen, finden es normal, dass Schmetterlinge Tiere sind, die man nur selten sieht. Sie haben vermutlich noch nie eine Feldlerche gehört, wissen nicht, was ein Rebhuhn ist. Über das Phänomen der sich verschiebenden Basislinien. steady.page/de/jasminsch...

Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

New by me: OpenAI won’t say whose content trained its video tool. We found some clues. Gift link: wapo.st/3KeqLR0

Whose video did OpenAI take to train Sora? @kevinschaul.bsky.social and I are back on our training data bullshit to find out. Gift link 🎁 t.co/c3Zg4gcYIT

future children in history class are going to love studying our era because everything about it will look so stupid to them “oh so they took all the serious bad things from past eras, and then redid them, but like clown shit?” yes

Beautiful thread, horrid ai-enshittification reason no 367: academia.edu want to have all of you

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

most of my friends are freelance artists/designers. not one of them made much money or ever expected to do so, because they LOVE their job. ai companies despise humanity, instead of making shitty jobs less shitty, they are killing the jobs people love, and also make shitty art

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵

Im Zusammenhang mit Dunja Hayalis Rückzug von den sozialen Medien lese ich immer wieder, es hätte einen „Shitstorm“ gegeben. Das ist grundlegend falsch. Es ist eine von rechts orchestrierte Hasskampagne, um Dunja Hayali mundtot zu machen und andere zu warnen. Bezahlt von Millionären.

Reminder of how extreme Zuboffs’s »Surveillance Capitalism« felt upon its initial publication, yet it proved to be the most accurate prediction.

"The Meta AI chatbot built into Instagram and Facebook can coach teen accounts on suicide, self-harm and eating disorders, a new safety study finds. In one test chat, the bot planned joint suicide — and then kept bringing it back up in later ‭conversations." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic. But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.

The fossil fuel industry is literally destabilising the life support systems of our planet and our policians are letting them. Incomprehensible stupidity and recklessness. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Petition zu Postcovid / ME/CFS — „Doch die neue Regierung sieht offenbar keine ausreichende Notwendigkeit - und stellt nur 15 Millionen Euro für die Forschung bereit. (...) Zum Vergleich: Die Computerspielbranche wird mit 125 Millionen Euro pro Jahr gefördert" www.openpetition.de/petition/onl...

I hoped laments on the Unreadability of the next iOS were Exaggerated. It is really much worse when seen in real life.

We need to know what humans do before we argue that machines can do it just the same. There can’t be AI literacy without a literacy in being human: how we make meaning in work and life, distinguishing the artificial from the imaginary from the true. mail.cyberneticforests.com/human-litera...

Everyone who runs an LLM loves that they get to be the architect of entire human realities, but they love it secretly because they know how dystopian it is. Except Elon, he loves it loudly because his audience is super into how dystopian it is.

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

If you will humor me in suspending your disbelief, as I do know this is both shocking news and entirely unexpected, but as it turns out, when you make chatGPT talk to itself on social media literally nothing u do makes it not polarize toward fascism and most things u try actually make it worse

Reminder of how extreme Zuboffs’s »Surveillance Capitalism« felt upon its initial publication, yet it proved to be the most accurate prediction.

To summarize -waves are not seasonal -vaccines are waning -people are getting long covid -it’s still not an endemic disease -very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

Huge fan of NLU (Felipe Ángeles International Airport), the new airport of Mexico City. Perfectly new, perfectly smooth. That may change once the highway leading there is finished, though.

A sort of chicken lounge that automatically dims the lights once a lot of chickens start showing up. US Patent 12382931 (issued today)

This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷

Zur Misere gehört auch,dass Ministerin Bär (@BMFTR) Ihrer Verantwortung nicht nur nicht nachgekommen ist, 1 Professorin & dabei academia v Verleumdung, irrationaler Hetze & politischen Kampagnen z schützen, sondern selber in unsachlicher, sexistischer Weise d Kollegin Brosius-Gersdorf verspottet hat

How do I put words to the fact that I can no longer eat without pain? That I HATE eating sometimes — who am I to eat? What makes me so special? The only difference between me and my starving brethren is that they live on land someone else wants to steal, while I live on land that was stolen already.

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them. Fascinating article by @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

"I think it’s a pointless exercise that needlessly derails a simple truth that should horrify all of us: the Israeli military is literally shooting and killing starving people while they attempt to get food."

New on the blog: The arcane alphabets of Black Sabbath To commemorate Ozzy Osbourne, we took a deep dive into the obscure typefaces used on Black Sabbath’s first four album covers. fontsinuse.com/uses/35835/t... (Buckle up, it’s a long one.)

“Since AFP was founded in August 1944, some of our journalists were killed in conflict, others were wounded or made prisoner, but there is no record of us ever having had to watch our colleagues starving to death.”

the mummy video is amazing but for me it has to be Isaac Mizrahi and the QVC hosts talking about whether the moon is a planet or not

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

“All these traumas are the reason why the Irish took almost 150 years before they could memorialise what they experienced in the 1840s. Those who inflict starvation are aware of this, they know that what they’re doing is actually dismantling a society.”

‘My position on OpenAI has hardened in recent months, as they have themselves recognized that their only path to profitability is to follow the models of…Meta (Facebook) & Alphabet (Google) by creating dependency and/or addiction for an entire generation’. Always read @mattseybold.bsky.social
