BREAKING NEWS: Trump's government just approved Paramount's merger with Skydance.

Sure looks like they paid Donald Trump $36 MILLION for this merger.

Bribery is illegal no matter who is president.

Just went looking for something at the excellent Hagley Digital Archives, and was greeted by the message below.

They're being overrun by bots, as "AI systems increasingly target sites like ours to train machine learning models."

The web is being murdered. So aggravating.

"The Hagley Digital Archives is currently offline due to a sustained bot attack" begins a message from the archive, explaining that AI is using bots to train machine learning learning models.

Jeg har ikke abonnement på Børsen og kender derfor ikke detaljerne, men det her lyder lovende. Rigspolitiet er en af de danske myndigheder, der aktivt betaler Elon Musk for et guld-flueben. Fornuftigt, hvis man nu tager det op til revision.

A group of philosophers and sociologists have come up with the idea to regularly poll scientists in order to establish and maintain a “scientific consensus.” While this might sound plausible, it’s a terrible idea. Here’s why.
