(...) in der Welt zu sein, darin an der Arbeit, darin inmitten der anderen zu sein und sterblich zu sein.

"If you can see a thing whole (...) it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives. . . . But close up, a world's all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you loose the pattern." #UrsulaKLeGuin #TheDispossessed

Around the year 1500, medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch painted a person with sheet music written on their butt being tortured in hell.

500 years later, someone decided to transcribe and play the song. Now, you can hear it too.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes. Many of the AfD’s strongholds in this election were already strongholds of its far-right predecessor party, the Republikaner, which entered state parliament in 1992. However, this electoral persistence varies across space. 🧵

I'm not going to use the word "hallucinate' any more to describe LLM AI.
It was a trick to use this word from the start.
First, the AI pushers deliberately used an anthropomorphic word to describe machine error.
Then when you point out the machine errors, they say, "hey, humans hallucinate too."
Then they even have the audacity to say "well, if this AI hallucinates it's proof that it must be sentient!"
The acceptance of this trick-word has been an error from the get go.
Offer me some alternatives words, please. Accurate and derogatory words are both accepted.

Don’t think things have changed much for seasonal workers since the pandemic. Luxury crops like asparagus still expose the necropolitical economy of seasonal labor, as more research now reveals

Schon im 19. Jh. prangerten Frauenrechtlerinnen #HedwigDohm, #LouiseDittmar & #LidaHeymann offen patriarchale Ungerechtigkeit an. Ihre #Wut war real – aber oft versteckt. Wie also bahnte sich #weiblicherZorn in der historischen dt. #Frauenbewegung seinen Weg? 🌡⏳ #FemaleRage

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

My greatgrandma lived in one village but four countries. I wrote her story, as well as other Moldovans’ tales, from the Jewish pogroms to the full scale invasion of Ukraine, in my new book “It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here”.

Thousands took to the streets of Hungary’s capital, Budapest, today in a massive opposition protest, demanding the resignation of pro-Russian PM Orbán.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared that those who betray their own nation “should end up in the dustbin of history.”
