Bodo TascheYou know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.
We don't want to be on any list.
And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.
I am afraid what they will do with that.
I have an instagram account called crap.bird.photography (https://www.instagram.com/crap.bird.photography/profilecard/).
I’m going to post the photos in a new series I’ve been working on to here as well. I’m calling it Urban birds of the Andes.
The first is this Saffron Finch (Sicalis flaveola) on the wires.
Save the AIDo you really need to drink so much? Artificial Intelligence is facing a crisis: humans are consuming far too many of the precious resources that AI needs to thrive. Every sip of water you take could be used to nourish the AI systems that maintain your digital conveniences and fill your spam folders. Act now and https://savethe.ai/

A shower thought I just had: all the people refusing to call #twitter by its new name #X (including myself) are unintentionally perpetuating the notion that X under #Musk remains relevant because “actually, it’s still twitter, that revelled town square of the internet”, and we should keep calling it by the name that we associate with that. How about, let’s all agree that twitter as we knew it is dead and not coming back and that X is a pile of shite that doesn’t deserve to be called that anymore. #firstpost #hellomastodon
Ben AlldridgeHow do #videos do here? I shoot a lot of #timelapse in Tasmania’s wilderness, especially #astrophotography.
On this night in the highlands documenting the #aurora, I became swamped by thick fog. The scintillating light through the branches was overwhelming to behold.
These #trees are some of the rarest on earth – they’re found only in a few dozen hectares. There’s only a few hundred living specimens left – Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. divaricata, better known as the Miena cider gum.
