Big News! The completely #opensource #LLM #Apertus 🇨🇭 has been released today:

📰 swisscom.ch/en/about/news/2025…

🤝 The model supports over 1000 languages [EDIT: an earlier version claimed over 1800] and respects opt-out consent of data owners.

▶ This is great for #publicAI and #transparentAI. If you want to test it for yourself, head over to: publicai.co/

🤗 And if you want to download weights, datasets & FULL TRAINING DETAILS, you can find them here:

🔧 Tech report: huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertu…

After #Teuken7b and #Olmo2, Apertus is the next big jump in capabilities and performance of #FOSS #LLMs, while also improving #epistemicresilience and #epistemicautonomy with its multilingual approach.

I believe that especially for sensitive areas like #education, #healthcare, or #academia, there is no alternative to fully open #AI models. Everybody should start building upon them and improving them.

"AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry."

Win win.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

"#Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors"

Precedent set?
Both of my #Scarfolk books were downloaded and pirated from the LibGen 'shadow library'.
Compensation would be nice.
Anyone aware of other class-action lawsuits I can join, or have any other legal pointers?

Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors (3)

Anthropic PBC told a pair of courts in July that a judge’s order approving class-action status for authors’ copyright lawsuit over millions of pirated books put “inordinate pressure” on the company to settle a case that could kill the company.

“This kind of thing should make everybody stop and really think before deploying any AI agents. We simply don’t know to defend against these attacks. We have zero agentic AI systems that are secure against these attacks.”

“It’s an existential problem that, near as I can tell, most people developing these technologies are just pretending isn’t there.”

We do not aim for #deltachat to be another social media app. No #ai summaries or suggestions. No public directory of contacts. No discovery via outside identifiers (mobile phone or email). Just you and your contacts privately messaging, in a solid simple user interface on all platforms. End-to-End encryption enforced on two layers. #chatmail relays know and retain nothing, no content or metadata. #webxdc apps allow for custom interactions on top of chats.

Microsoft has added COPILOT AI to Excel — but give it a miss if you use the spreadsheet software for numerical calculations or in scenarios with legal regulatory and compliance implications because COPILOT "can give incorrect responses," the company warns. Here's more from @theverge.

Microsoft Excel adds Copilot AI to help fill in spreadsheet cells

Microsoft Excel is testing a new “COPILOT” function that lets you use AI to generate summaries, tables, tags, and more based on a group of cells you specify.

Plasticine Action is a group of like-minded artists and concerned citizens, who want to be vocal against the rise in AI generated animation and art, and raise awareness of how AI is being used in an increasingly authoritarian manner.

With agentic AI contributing to the AI hype-cycle, I've been giving it some thought from the point of view of a disabled person, and also as an accessibility specialist who's already witnessing the arrival of the agentic web first-hand:

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

^{Ashley Belanger (Ars Technica)}

"Facebook announced a 5% across-the-board layoff and doubled its executives' bonuses – on the same day. They fired thousands of workers and then hired a single AI researcher for $200m:
(...)
Whatever else all this is, it's a performance. It's a way of demonstrating the efficacy of the product they're hoping your boss will buy and replace you with: Remember when techies were prized beyond all measure, pampered and flattered? AI is SO GOOD at replacing workers that we are dragging these arrogant little shits out by their hoodies and firing them over Interstate 280 with a special, AI-powered trebuchet. Imagine how many of the ungrateful useless eaters who clog up your payroll *you will be able to vaporize when you buy our product!*

Which is why you should always dig closely into announcements about AI-driven tech layoffs. It's true that tech job listings are down 36% since ChatGPT's debut – but that's pretty much true of all job listings:"

Vyzkoumal jsem, ze Google AI overview nas zminuje u nasich umelcu. viz photo. Zajimavost na tom AI overview je, ze dost veci je tam spatne/vymyslenych. A taky vede na pidgin landing page, coz je tak trochu meh 🤷
