Der synes ikke at være grænser for i hvor høj grad dyrene skal betale regningen. Hvad sker der i hovedet på dem, der bestemmer?

Når man arbejder på et museum, og man får en besked om, at man bryder GDPR... på en konge fra 1100-tallet.

Imagine AI models being trained on Internet content and encountering videos like this. Seems like a way of normalizing the perception that humans are generally violent, no? Anyway, I'm also just waiting for the Ewoks to attack this thing.

Når nu politikerne har travlt med at råbe op om tilsyn med bosteder mv, så husk lige på hvem der syntes det var en perfekt idé at beskære tilsynet fordi varme hænder og afbureakratisering og den slags

»Kontrasten imellem de deprimerende optagelser af grågrumset vand og døde havbunde og ministeriets lalleglade tegninger af en torsk med slips og en havørred med hat, er simpelthen for stor til, at vi rigtig kan hygge os med afstemningen denne gang«. www.information.dk/indland/lede...

Er det ikke første gang i nyere vestlig historie, at en sådan mand er valgt. Ingen fjerndiagnose herfra, men hvordan må det være for de amerikanere, der stemte på ham? De andre ligger vel i mental fosterstilling, ude af stand til gøre noget ved det. Jeg kan slet ikke forestille mig historiebøgerne.

The Port of London Authority (PLA) has said it will remove about 180 tonnes of congealed wet wipes – the equivalent to the weight of 15 double decker London buses – that has formed along a 820ft (250m) stretch of the tidal Thames near Hammersmith Bridge. www.bbc.com/news/article...

AI i @berlingske.bsky.social 1. Vigtig kronik om de evige påstande fra politisk side om at tusindevis af offentlige stillinger kan nedlægges, fordi ny teknologi gør arbejdet. Nu 30.000 årsværk. Holder aldrig, koster andre steder. Ursula Plesner og Lise Justesen. www.berlingske.dk/kronikker/st...

Godt nok et mærkeligt take DR har på det her. Nyheden er vel at dyrevelfærdsloven ikke er overholdt på hver tredje kvæg- og svinebesætning? Når så slatten en lovgivning ikke engang bliver overholdt, står det godt nok skident til. www.dr.dk/nyheder/sene...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

SUT: “Hvorfor udtaler kunstnere sig ikke mere om politik? At jeg er forfatter, gør jo ikke, at jeg har mere forstand på politik end min bror, som er bankmand. Tværtimod har det ofte vist sig, at kunstnere har været til fals for totalitære ideologier, fordi de tit har et æstetisk blik på politikken"

my soul left my body watching the fox news feed glitching out as the tanks roll past the president’s observation stand and the announcer’s voice echoes across the mostly empty streets, “special thanks to our sponsor, palantir”

Here we go again. Politikere og embedsværk hallucinerer ud fra ... hvad? Spådomme om, hvor meget der kan spares med ny tech, ny "hype", denne gang kunstig intelligens. Hvorfor følges der aldrig op på de spådomme? Fordi det bliver for pinligt. Det er i hvert fald mit gæt.⬇️ Tråd.

Much of the AI hype is hype. Most or all food delivery robots are driven by low cost remote workers. Waymo admits that every two miles or so there is a human intervention.

David Ginty at Harvard has so far identified 18 families of sensing neurons for different aspects of our sense of touch. Humans-teach-robots dexterity approaches ignore touch and contact, or reduce it to a few bits sensing one aspect. I think they are doomed. www.quantamagazine.org/touch-our-mo...
