After years of consideration, I'm finally on Patreon! 💰

Som selvstændig kan det være pænt træls at blive syg, fordi man ikke får noget arbejde/indtægt for hånden. Derfor er det såååå skønt at have alle mine skønne patrons til at give mig en (lille) fast indkomst.

Tusind tak til jer! <3

Anbefaling #3:
“The AI-altered photo showed what appeared to be a large mass on Trump’s forehead, causing people to insist that he had a stroke.

The AI image jumped from Bluesky to just about every other social media platform.”

Jeg har været ramt af en heftig omgang corona, men er endelig tilbage med nogle læseanbefalinger!

Denne gang handler det om #AI opskalering, og hvordan det sætter ild under alskens konspirationsteorier.

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

Den højreorienterede politiske aktivist Charlie Kirk blev skudt på scenen til et arrangement i Utah. Gerningspersonen er ikke fundet i skrivende stund, men Trump skyder allerede "venstreradikal retorik" for mordet.

Hvem var Charlie Kirk? Og hvilken politisk sammenhæng var det han indgik i?

1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults.

It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage.

It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US.

Trump Admin Bans Coverage For Trans Govt Employees, Mandates Conversion Therapy Coverage

The OPM memo states that all health plans for government workers must cover faith-based approaches to gender dysphoria while banning gender affirming care coverage.

Har du planer d. 2 september? Nej?
Så kom med til mit #AI kritiske oplæg på Kulturhuset Islands Brygge.

Titlen er "Kunstig intelligens er ikke din ven", og på 2 timer vil jeg forklare hvorfor.

Billetter kan findes på kulturhusets hjemmeside: kulturhusetislandsbrygge.kk.dk/program/kuns...

Adas ansigt foran en grøn glitchet baggrund. Ovenpå baggrunden er der en masse overskrifter om kunstig intelligens.
En af dem hedder "ChatGPT is bullshit". En anden hedder "Vores tankefrihed er under angreb fra chatbotternes subtile manipulation". En tredje hedder "Microsoft study finds AI makes Human cognition 'Atrophied and Unprepared'". En fjerde hedder "AI er som kejserens nye klæder - det kommer ikke til at revolutionere samfundet."
