Paradox

Liquorice allsorts. You asked me once
why I said I was a paradox. I never
got around to answering. I’m not
a paradox, I’m an assortment of paradoxes,
colourful, sweet, salty, an acquired taste.
I’ve been spat out enough times. I tried
to warn you off. You had to learn it for yourself:
you can’t handle flavour this complex.
No, no, don’t worry. I’m not offended.
I knew your taste wasn’t mature enough. #ifIMTooMuchGoFindLess #liquorice #mine #paradox #poetry #taste

Ein #KI Coach baut eine Content-Maschine für LinkedIn Posts. Für Kunden produziert sie nur Mittelmaß. Seine Diagnose: Es fehle an Geschmack, an Taste. Lâsung: Leapfroggen mit eiligen Voicefiles, 10-Min-Übung zum Taste-Training. Fertig.
Seine Diagnose stimmt sogar. Aber die Therapie ist ein Witz. #Taste, also Urteilskraft, entsteht ΓΌber Jahre, durch Reibung, Mut. Durch Menschsein. Da gibt's keine AbkΓΌrzung. Tech-Dudes kratzen an der OberflΓ€che.

>They're expanding to conduct a larger study.
[In the U.S., long COVID has exceeded asthma as our most chronic long illness.]

Windows 11: Copilot-Taste bald wieder als Strg-Taste nutzbar

Microsofts KI-Wahn hat sich in Form der Copilot-Taste auf den Tastaturen diverser PCs und Laptops vor einiger Zeit auch in Hardware manifestiert. Zuletzt ließ sich die Taste nicht mehr anders belegen, doch jetzt hat man in Redmond angekündigt, den Nutzern bald wieder Wahlfreiheit geben zu wollen.
