As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

*incredibly* humourless 'I researched this for a novel once': yes, she would go "well they're doing that a lot. They crucified a thousand people on a single day last year. That's what they do, they crucify a bunch of people. Poor Josh. He was kind of an intense guy but he didn't deserve that."

Wer Abschiebung meint, soll auch "Abschiebung" sagen und nicht "Rückführung" oder gar "Rückkehr". Eine Zwangsmaßnahme bleibt auch dann eine, wenn man sie durch Euphemismen schmackhaft zu machen versucht um die Gewöhnung an menschenfeindliche Politik voranzutreiben.

83 years ago, Robin Lakoff (1942–2025) was born 🎉 She was a pioneering sociolinguist, focusing on the relationship between language and gender. She also studied power relations, politeness, and the role of frames in meaning.

Wir haben einen Bundeskanzler, der vorgestern behauptete, man bleibe bei der Abgrenzung von Rechtsextremen, nur um heute ohne Zögern pauschal Geflüchtete und Menschen mit Migrationsgeschichte als latente Gewalttäter hinzustellen. Große Teile seiner Partei und der Öffentlichkeit stört das nicht.

Last Week Tonight hat eine Folge über „AI Slop“ gemacht. Gute Zusammenfassung der Thematik. Dieser Ausschnitt hier wird mich glaub ich noch länger verfolgen. Das ist einfach so dystopisch. Da ist ja sogar das Wort „Content“ ein Euphemismus.
