KI-Tiervideos wirken auf viele süß, überraschend, herzerwärmend, emotional, aber sind komplett gefälscht.
Sie zeigen Fantasietiere, vermenschlichte Szenen, perfekte Gefühle.
Doch genau das ist das Problem: Diese Videos verzerren unser Tierbild.
Wildtiere wirken wie Haustiere, Stress wie Zuneigung. Menschen können echtes Tierverhalten immer schlechter einschätzen. Tierleid wird übersehen, echte Tiere missverstanden.

KI-Tiervideos: ein echtes Problem in sozialen Medien

Auf Facebook verbreiten sich derzeit rasant KI-Tiervideos, die scheinbar niedliche oder rührende Interaktionen zeigen.

I need you to stop scrolling and read the most human piece of writing I've read in a very, very long time.

Thanks, @WeirdWriter.

Edit: If you feel like you got a lot out of this piece, I'm sure Rob would definitely appreciate some subscribers to his newsletter and tips/a paid subscription if you can afford it! It's not easy making a living as a writer.

Seriously people, if you're going to put work into making your blog look beautiful you HAVE GOT to see what it looks like with large minimum font size (not zoom). At my default 20pt minimum font size this blog gives me roughly 4 words per line.

I'm not going to read the damn article like this, no matter how good the words are. Yes, I can switch to "Reader View" but I shouldn't have to.

An earlier version of Trump's National Security Strategy specifically said that the US should try to break up the EU, to get Italy, Austria, Hungary and Poland to leave

From the Blinux list, my thoughts below the quote:

"Hello to all.

This is partly a (re)introduction and some good news (news for definitely not all, but some) of you.

This message is actually send to two lists, as I have no clue how big intersection of the member lists there are (I suppose huge, but not complete), so sorry for double receiving, you who are in both lists.

And now, with the disclaimers out of the way... I started to be interested in Linux, say ten or twelve years ago (don't remember exactly). Through a set of happy coincidences, I managed to get a job at Red Hat in the desktop team, and because accessibility was in the times of the reorg an important thing, a tools and accessibility team actually was created. It is quite a small team, and the majority of people on it do not have work time to do anything with accessibility (we're maintaining some of the Gnome apps, we do RHEL packaging, testing etc.).

However, I am working on the accessibility related things every day, so don't be afraid to ask something, mention your issues, and such.

Personally, in terms of distributions, I use GNome on Arch (personal laptop) and Fedora (work laptop), so I have the most experience with these setups, but I definitely used Mate, and tried Kde for some time as well.

And, that's it for now. "

So, a small team, that barely has time to do what the team is about. This is really sad. This is what people with disabilities get from one of the biggest Linux companies there is.

This holiday season, remind your friends that buying Harry Potter crap literally funds #transgender genocide.

I am not even remotely being hyperbolic here. JKR gets a cut, and she funnels it to groups that have successfully curtailed trans freedoms in the UK and are working to make things even worse.

I someone had told me 10 years ago that the war against wokeness would bring us back to Times New Roman...

Satire is dead

I am so stubborn about not using AI.
You have no idea.

I will even go as far as writing my own texts, drawing my own images, writing my own code, and reading the whole article or email just by myself. Crazy stuff.

i've made 45 bilingual (eng/esp) copies of the Riot Medicine Field Guide, a concise companion book to the Hakan Geijer's robust protest medic text. i printed these specifically to distribute to action medics, though the content is informative for anyone and functions as a good hook for anyone interested learning more about street medicine.

if you would like one for yourself or as gift to someone ('tis the season!), please email me the address at <fallrise@riseup.net> and i will send one -- i am happy to cover the ~$4 shipping, but am willing to accept donations. if you have a medic crew and would like some for yourselves or for trainings, i can send you a box.

original texts can be found digitally at: riotmedicine.net/

👉🏽 Common misconceptions about #WCAG

"the way the guidelines are discussed often leads to mixed assumptions about what they cover and how they should be used."

Most people working in digital are aware of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and know they can help make digital products work for everyone.

wow, @pluralistic has really made a splash with #enshittification, very exciting to see. I hope people take a breath and try to understand the underlying challenges that makes confronting antidisintermediation so challenging, many of use have been engaged in this struggle for years. If it was easy, we would have smashed big tech ages ago, cc @ntnsndr, @techworkersco, @disco_coop

The latest round of tech working mobilization inspired by Cory's "enshitification" framing is amazing to see, tho I can't help bracing myself for the inevitable wasted energy as people rush forward without understanding counterantidisintermediation

Auch auf die Gefahr hin, wie eine Karen zu klingen:

Habe ich irgendeine rechtliche Handhabe (Stichwort: Ruhestörung), wenn an einem Weihnachtsbaum-Stand mitten in einem Wohngebiet Stunde um Stunde laut gesägt wird? Oder muss ich das tagsüber zähneknirschend hinnehmen?

Ich arbeite von zu Hause aus und drehe langsam durch, weil ich akustische Reize nicht gut filtern kann.

#Carney ran on a build Canada platform that hasn't proposed any real nation building, rather we get pandering to foreign petro oligarchs.

Here's some nation building actions that should already be underway:
1. Get our govt data out of the USA. House it in the EU until we have a domestic datacentre.
2. Get schools across the nation off american software and networks. Like stop forcing my kid to use an enemy chromebook. This will take a large investment in infrastucture to update schools.
3. Retrofit schools, colleges and universities with renewable energy and batteries. Gift the installs and equipment to help reduce school electricity costs (and work toward climate action).
4. Similarly assist FN and especially Inuit communities getting off diesel generators. The soot is speeding melting in the Arctic.
5. Like the national railway that our ancestors built, build a national fleet of electric truck-trains (truck with 7-10 reefers). The railways are often plugged and reducing productivity.

A bit of the history of speed reading, and then I try not to doom spiral too bad about AI. The attempt is not entirely successful.

We all know LMGTFY but what about LMKTFY (Let Me @kagihq That For You)

Because honestly, searching with Kagi compared to searching with Google is like living in another planet.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
