Bißchen unglücklich, dass die vier Pfeile dem Amazon Pfeil dermaßen ähneln, man könnte fast meinen, dass die KI-generiert wären. Wie ich nicht müde werde zu sagen, ist die Darstellung ihrer Arbeit unter Forschenden die mit Text arbeiten oft wenig beachtet, oft mit wenig zuträglichen Folgen.

We cannot meaningfully separate everyday usage of “AI” from the machine of death and war. If you’re upset by the military-industrial complex? These tools feed it; they *are* it.

I thought this was oddly long for what it says and not as interesting as it appeared at first, only at the end I realised that was because this is just a glorified ad by a competitor

Seems like a mirror of our times that Taliban forces now look like US soldiers

I will say one thing for generative AI: since these tools function by remixing/translating existing information, that vibe programming is so popular demonstrates a colossal failure on the part of our industry in not making this stuff easier. If a giant ball of statistics can mostly knock up a working app in minutes, this shows not that gen-AI is insanely clever, but that most of the work in making an app has always been stupid. We have gatekeeped programming behind vast walls of nonsense.

@typeoff I actually don't know. Both had been under British domination for some time, but it's more complicated in Egypt as the French had introduced printing and the only Egyptian material I've seen was in a French institution...

@typeoff my scenario is early twentieth century, Egyptian printer providing type to Indian printer – I only have imprints to go by, no records, no material, no discussion
