From Meta about the AI opt-out form:

"We have made this objection form easy to find, read, and use ..." about.fb.com/news/2025/04...

... it took me over 20 minutes to find the form. Absolutely shameful.

“Those affected by the leaks include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Most of these numbers and email addresses are apparently still in use”

This is insane.

The fact that this assortment of clowns now controls the mightiest military force ever to exist should scare the shit out of absolutely everyone. @gop included. www.theatlantic.com/...

I'm as tired as the next sane person about everything being sold as AI powered whatnot. That said, just calling it machine learning isn't quite right.

ML is a form of AI. Deep Learning is a form of AI. But Machine Learning and Deep Learning are not the same.
Thank you for calling it machine learning and not AI. I would love a to see machine learning normalized. Calling it that deflates the tech to what it should be.

Ganz wichtiger Artikel für alle, die informiert Wählen möchten, statt aus einem manipuliertem Bauchgefühl heraus. Beispiel:

- Die Polizei erfasst doppelt so viele deutsche wie ausländische Tatverdächtige

- In der Berichterstattung werden 8-14x öfter ausländische als deutsche Verdächtige erwähnt.
Kolumne: Das Narrativ vom »gefährlichen Ausländer« gehört zum Markenkern der AfD. Sie hat es mit langem Atem strategisch in den Mainstream eingeschleust und die Union überlistet: mit gezielter Realitätsverzerrung. #Merz #Verfuegbarkeitsheuristik

This must be satire, right? "Fraudsters exploit PayPal's Guest Payment Feature", as in:

1 - Use PayPal guest payment
2 - Provide any IBAN
3 -???

... and the provided account is a charged with 0 verification of ownership.

Insane 🤯

Dass Christian #Lindner seine Entlassung provoziert, ist eine Flucht vor der Verantwortung. Mit der FDP lässt sich kein Staat mehr machen!

Das Gute daran: Es wird einer der erfolglosesten Finanzminister Deutschlands entlassen.

The biggest mystery about Tesla right now is: the core business problems are the kind that you can only spend your way out of, and yet with nearly $30 billion in cash supposedly on their balance sheet they appear to be trying to cut their way out of them instead.

There was a buffoonery to yesterday’s first day of trial, led by the chief orange-utan himself. As many who were present in the room noted, Trump seemed much diminished, a development with big implications for our fraught politics. More in today’s piece. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Trump appeared much diminished in his first day of trial, and even appeared to nod off. Sad!

So after 11 seasons as professional player, Kingsley Coman will not lift a national championship trophy this season for the first time ever. So far he won 12, including 2 in the year he joined Bayern on loan from Juventus.

I guess this makes him the anti Harry Kane? 🤔
Leverkusen beendet auch Comans einmalige Serie - Bayerns Flügelflitzer gewann 2015/16 sogar zwei Meistertitel
Bayer 04 Leverkusen hat die lange Titelserie des FC Bayern beendet - und damit auch eine ganz besondere von Kingsley Coman, der ein Wochenende zum Vergessen erlebte.
