Highlight dieses Jahr: Dinner for One in der Mediathek des NDRs mit Deutscher Gebärendsprache. Die Übersetzer in wunderbaren Kostümen entsprechend ihrer Rolle und für mich ist es so faszinierend zu sehen, wie die Gebärden sich mit Betonung und steigendem Alkoholkonsum ändern. :D

Been really confused by social media for a while but I think I've figured it out: everyone except me has an explosive collar and it will detonate if they don't immediately contribute to the same discourse that everyone hates

Was in the mood to treat myself and went to a book store. The person ringing me up had the best reaction to my choice 😅: "Oh ha. Have .... fun?... reading."

My son. He dangle.

Dürfen KI-Unternehmen urheberrechtlich geschützte Liedtexte zum Training ihrer Modelle verwenden? Das Landgericht München gibt in dieser Grundsatzfrage Musiklizenzenverwalter GEMA recht. OpenAI habe mit ChatGPT gegen Urheberrecht verstoßen und soll nun Schadensersatz zahlen.

An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable. The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. 🧵1/2 🏺

Off to my Curious Collectors of Baker Street Sherlock Holmes Halloween party because that’s how we roll and Day of the Dead is still the season. 💀

There are people who say “I would sell my soul to write a book that good” who aren’t willing to write the four or five shitty books that stand between them and the good one.

Syphillis used to be so common and so destructive it would just destroy soft tissue on the face (and hands/feet), so people could AND DID form No Nose clubs so that they had a group of friends they could hang out with and just exist before it sent them into dementia and a horrible death.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Sharing some posts about AI here reminded me about how ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED one of my coworkers was when I told her that I have not once used ChatGPT. The thing is, I really don't see the appeal? Not once I had a question where I thought it would benefit me to ask a LLM about it. long 🧵

As a supervising attorney, I am here to tell young lawyers that AI is absolutely a threat to your career. I do not mean that it will replace you. I mean that if you use it, you increase the risk that another attorney will replace you when you are fired. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.

There is one point of agreement among both enthusiasts and sceptics: the future has already arrived go.nature.com/48M5Xuu

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Enough time has passed that I can definitively say that the “everyone is 12 now” post is THE load bearing post of Bluesky. The hall of famer Bluesky post. It commands respect even from Bluesky skeptics and haters

The dark romance girlies have every man fooled into thinking we all have an abusive stalker fantasy. No, baby. Use that bass in your voice to ask me about my day. 😂

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Der/die Mitarbeiter*in der/die das verbockt hat ist das bestimmt super peinlich, aber ich musste lachen. 😅 Ich hoffe, die verantwortliche Person kriegt deswegen keinen all zu großen Ärger. www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/...

If you're sincerely nice, ppl are nice back. It isn't rocket science. Awful people know in their heart of hearts when people are nice to them it's done out of fear, is fake fawning, or they want something you have or can offer. Kindness is always a choice. The world is cruel. We don't have to be.

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

After the war, the Federal Compensation Act excluded many persecuted groups from compensation payments – including people who had been persecuted as “anti-social elements.” It took until 2020 for them to be officially recognized as victims of Nazi persecution. arolsen-archives.org/en/news/pers...

More of this. Make lying shameful again.

Have mentioned this before, but I spent an entire Christmas season in hospital, in an oxygen tent, as a child because I had a not-even-particularly-bad case of pertussis. I'd like us to go back to the time when telling people you once had "whooping cough" got you a "that's not a real thing" look.

She heard the dulcet sound of children laughing and immediately demanded an open window to chitter scold them for the audacity of *checks notes* joy.

Stripe’s tagline is “Make progress”, yet they are reportedly censoring LGBT content. They want to control what people think/consume, but they can’t even recognise when their (prob gen AI) advert has installed a zip-slider on wrong, making said zip functionally useless. Let’s not listen to them.

Not being crowded in grocery stores and on transit was a glorious thing. You're not going to get out of here any faster by giving me a colonoscopy!
