Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Universitetsbiblioteker, 2018:
"Vi må avvenne studentene med å bruke google, og få dem over på de kvalitetssikrede fagdatabasene".

Universitetsbiblioteker 2025:
"Burde vi kanskje lære studentene å prompte chatboter uten forankring i virkeligheten, siden de allerede er vant til å gjøre det?"
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Unnskyld meg, Sarpsborg, men var det ikke nettopp et helvetes ramaskrik over at et vindkraftanlegg ville ødelegge for mye natur i kommunen? Og nå ralles det om å bygge et datasenter på størrelse med Monaco? Som oppgis å kunne kreve 1.700 GWh energi i året (samme som rundt 100k husholdninger)... Wow!
Planlegg gigantutbygging av datasenter: – Kjem til å bruke vanvitig mykje straum
Eit område med datasenter i Sarpsborg kan beslagleggje skogsområde på størrelse med Monaco.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

If giving people food, housing, education, and time with their families is “socialism,” then maybe the problem isn’t socialism 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s the people who think basic dignity is dangerous.

Society should help people live, not make them suffer.

A small but significant step: Dutch national broadcaster NOS is leaving X.

“The volume of hateful comments and disinformation on X is enormous and flows freely. This also applies under our own posts, meaning we unintentionally contribute to their spread”

NOS plaatst vanaf vandaag geen nieuwsberichten meer op X - Over NOS
De NOS en Nieuwsuur (NOS/NTR) zijn gestopt met posten op X. Het platform past niet meer bij onze visie op...

sååååååå vi har altså off piste politiet som selv bestemmer hva de gidder håndheve. høres ut som et solid grunnlag for en rettsstat. men det forklarer jo hvorfor så få overgrep- og familievoldssaker ligger i bunnen av bunken år ut og år inn.
Igjen går politiet bare ut og avlyser lover og regler som er blitt til på demokratisk vis ved å annonsere at de ikke gidder å håndheve det. Kan ikke skjønne at det skal funke sånn.
Skremmende opptreden fra politiet på høring om samferdselsplanen i Trondheim i dag. De opptrer som politisk aktør i debatten om gjennomkjøringa i Midtbyen. Varsler at de ikke kommer til å håndheve skilting i Midtbyen fordi den er "komplisert" og at de ikke prioriterer skilting for kjøremønster.

Then in 2019, he had s college class looking at science communication. He was disappointed that the example they gave was to make a scientific research topic “able to be understood by your mom”. 🙄

It fascinates me how much people really love outing themselves as bigots on the internet. Every time I post something which critiques misogynists or racists and their behaviour - LOADS of people show up to announce themselves as misogynists and racists. It’s such an effective virtual flytrap.

who the fuck leaves reviews on *PAYPAL*??
PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.
