Wer sein Kind nicht gegen Masern impft sollte Besuch vom Jugendamt bekommen. Wie kommen die armen Kinder dazu so zu leiden und wie kommen anderen dazu gefährdet zu werden?

Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Als nächstes darf ich das Erdäpfelgulasch nimmer Erdäpfelgulasch nennen? Ich bin wirklich ein starker Befürworter und Unterstützer der europäischen Idee, der EU und europäischer Werte, aber das (neben den offensichtlichen Nationalismen) sind genau die Art von Diskussionen, die Europa schwächen […]

Elch #emil abgeschoben... https://ooe.orf.at/stories/3322679/ ... zu nahe an der Autobahn spazieren gehen? da kennen die oberösterreichischen Behörden kein Pardon!
Emil betäubt und im Böhmerwald ausgesetzt
Montagfrüh war es so weit: Elch Emil musste betäubt werden, weil er bei Sattledt (Bezirk Wels-Land) im Begriff war, über den Zaun Richtung Westautobahn (A1) zu springen. Knapp bevor der Frühverkehr beim Voralpenkreuz einsetzte, war Emil nur noch 200 Meter vor der A1 entfernt. Später wurde er nahe der Grenze zu Tschechien ausgesetzt.

So "Vibe Code Cleanup Specialist" is now a job title? Not sure I should be excited or horrified.

And the potential employers are ... the equivalent of software development superfund sites?

Exposure to "AI Assistance" lowers doctors' ability to diagnose cancer just after a few weeks.

"AI"s main effect on people is skill decay.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.
Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen. Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again: When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?" If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing! But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else. It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.
