Al jaren vindt er een kaalslag plaats op het OV. Treinen worden drukker, kaartjes duurder en in het streekvervoer verdwijnen steeds meer lijnen. Kun je het openbaar vervoer wel openbaar noemen als niet iedereen er gelijkwaardig toegang tot heeft? De afbraak van het openbaar vervoer moet stoppen. Daarom starten wij dit burgerinitiatief! Het OV moet publiek, gratis en toegankelijk. Stop de asociale prijsstijgingen en teken het burgerinitiatief! #OpenbaarVervoer https://campagnes.degoedezaak.org/campaigns/burgerinitiatief-openbaar-vervoer?utm_campaign=xNRaJYKVbk&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=share

"The CJEU judgement against Meta will have far-reaching effects on the business models used in the data economy. When large internet companies use the very personal data of consumers, this usage can also be deemed abusive under competition law."

Andreas Mundt,
Anti competition trust,
Germany

"This will mean that Meta has to seek proper consent and cannot use its dominant position to force people to agree to things they don't want."

Max Schrems,

EU top court sides with Germany in Meta antitrust case

Facebook owner Meta had challenged the 2019 finding of Germany's anti-monopoly watchdog, which ordered the firm to get consent from users for data collection. The ruling could imperil the position of other tech giants.

We desperately need to stop dichotomizing. AI poses serious risks BOTH short-term AND long-term.

You don't need to think superintelligence is remotely imminent to be deeply worried.

How Geoff Hinton, Elon Musk and I wound up sharing some concerns.

AI risk ≠ AGI risk

Superintelligence may or may not be imminent. But there’s a lot to be worried about, either way.

a big deal: @elonmusk, Y. Bengio, S. Russell, @tegmark, V. Kraknova, P. Maes, @Grady_Booch, @AndrewYang, @tristanharris & over 1,000 others, including me, have called for a temporary pause on training systems exceeding GPT-4

Milieugroep wil dat provincie natuurvergunning piekbelasters intrekt

Als het aan milieugroep MOB ligt, worden de natuurvergunningen van zeker veertig boeren ingetrokken. Ook een aantal veehouders in Brabant zou volgens de groep moeten stoppen.

Another sobering analysis + advice by @garymarcus on the risks of LLMs, whether they represent AGI or ‘just’ normal AI.
Loving the new term ‘“MAI risk”—Mediocre AI that is unreliable (a la Bing and GPT-4) but widely deployed—both in terms of the sheer number of people using it, and in terms of the access that the software has to the world.’

Ik heb Koot en Bie pas na mijn middelbare schooltijd leren waarderen. Eigenlijk een paar jaar te laat. Maar wat was dit briljante televisie. Jemig de pemig. RIP Wim de Bie. De Bie was aartsvader van de tv-satire, van Klisjeemannetje tot meneer Foppe

De Bie was aartsvader van de tv-satire, van Klisjeemannetje tot meneer Foppe

Wim de Bie was samen met Kees van Kooten misschien wel het succesvolste duo van de Nederlandse tv-geschiedenis.
