The only thing this piece does is do marketing for generative ai companies by calling their models "powerful" again and again. No reason to do it!

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

De facto machen die #ÖBB hier einen Schritt weg vom Ausbau der #Nightjets, oder? 24 statt 33 Garnituren scheint mir eine ordentliche Reduktion. (Quelle: www.derstandard.at/story/300000... - schade, dass nicht näher eingeordnet wird, ob/welche Auswirkungen das auf zukünftige Nachtzüge haben wird)

Ich habe seit Jahren den Eindruck, dass bei Fernbussen zu lax agiert wird. Bei Bahn & Airlines gelten ja rigideste Sicherheitsbestimmungen. Bei Fernbussen agiert Flixbus mit einem riesigen Netzwerk an lokalen Subunternehmern, Personal gefühlt all over the place.

Bereits 11 % der Menschen in 🇦🇹 nutzen Podcasts als Nachrichtenquelle, 15 % gedruckte Zeitungen. Im Vergleich dazu: Podcasts in Österreich erhalten insgesamt EUR 500.000,- Förderung, Printmedien werden 2026 auf rund 100 Millionen Förderung kommen (noch ohne Regierungsinserate!). Finde den Fehler 🤷‍♂️

After being antagonistic to media outlets for the better part of the last 12 months, Musk is starting to do interviews with handpicked reporters and online personalities. It’s a strategy that he has turned to in the past (see 2018 Tesla “production hell”) when he wants to change the narrative.

2 Monate SPÖ- Infrastrukturministerium und schon wird über Einstellung von Nebenbahnen gesprochen? Das hab ich nicht erwartet und finde ich sehr traurig 😫

Rainhard #Fendrich in der Wiener Stadthalle - heiter, lustig, melancholisch, nachdenklich, politisch, schmähführend - was für eine Bandbreite, was für eine Legende!

Ich beobachte das Phänoman "Hibr8n" seit 01/2024 & denke, Dr. Klenk liegt hier falsch. Warum? Dieser Content Creator hat recht harmlos angefangen. Meet & greets in Bahnhöfen, Parks. Für viele war da schon klar, dass hier etwas nicht ganz normal ist - ein Mann in seinen 40ern, der primär selfies mit

Reacting to the WIRED piece that argues Bluesky has a humor problem by repeatedly scolding the author and publication may not be the most effective way to counter that particular argument just saying

why everything sucks online: 1) online ads used to pay for everything until companies realized that ads didn't work that well 2) the companies that owned the ad systems need something that makes money since ads are working less 3) the people making stuff still needed the money that ads gave them

Liesinger Jugendgang und Vergewaltigung: Wieder eine irre Geschichte von @janmichaelmarchart.bsky.social u. @magdalenapunz.bsky.social. Da hat sich etwas verschoben. Und die beiden schauen konsequent hin. Zu wenige schauen so genau hin, bis es weh tut. Chapeau. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

The questions ChatGPT shouldn’t answer

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days

Zwei Jahre nach dem Start des ChatGPT-Hypes sollte man eigentlich glauben, dass sich die Defizite solcher System herumgesprochen haben. Stattdessen scheint die unkritische Nutzung immer stärker anzusteigen. Warum das extrem problematisch ist, erkläre ich hier >>> www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Es ist schade, dass die Partei für Verjüngungsforschung ein so schwaches Ergebnis erzielt hat!

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

Meta banned news on its platforms in Canada. Now they’re filled with scammy ads pretending to be headlines from legitimate news sources like the CBC that the company isn’t acting to quickly take down.

Oh, no:

I have some thoughts on Microsoft's bungled, botched, utterly hapless launch of its AI upgrade for Office. www.zdnet.com/home-and-off...

I feel like at some point the media needs to stop covering these announcements without actually using them. Can it actually do these things? has anyone seen them do it? How many times did it take to get it right?

Very cool Casey, sounds like OpenAI's agent thing is extremely stupid and sucks and doesn't do anything interesting, and is also broken. Sounds like a really "compelling demonstration"

The old narrrow AI vs general distinction doesn’t quite cut it anymore. I propose that we turn that dichotomy into a trichotomy, adding Broad, shallow intelligence (BSI) as a third pole: garymarcus.substack.com/p/agi-versus...

The ideal situation for Meta is that you are trapped in an endless maze of advertising impressions in search of the thing you swear you used to be able to see or do on Instagram or Facebook. Them showing you it is a problem. They're doing what Google Search did but with people instead of websites.

It is utterly irresponsible for Techmeme to run this. Mollick is a shill, and most of his proof is vague and/or extremely anecdotal. I don't see AI criticism get this kind of promotion. "AI video" has not "suddenly got very good," good lord

How many times do we have to see this same movie, where an AI beats some benchmark and influencers gleefully shout “It’s So Over” without even trying out the AI and then on careful inspection the AI turns out to not be robust or reliable? Thousands? (It’s already been hundreds.)

Complete nonsense, based on nothing. Irresponsible to quote this like it is some sort of reasonable thing to say versus outright fantasy engineered to attract investors that don't know anything

Initial Sora reviews are coming in... according to @garymarcus.bsky.social, it still has a lot of the early issues (that the other AI video tools also have)

Aloha! If anyone has a good starter pack for founders, devs, builders, pls drop it here. Love being able to read excellent tech-skeptics & industry critics here. But Im missing more pro-tech voices at the moment (people like @nikitabier.bsky.social, @levels.io, who are inactive here unfortunately)
