La revue suisse Heidi News publie une enquête intitulée "La vérité sur le vélo" et se demande pourquoi, alors que le vélo n'a (quasiment) que des avantages, est-il toujours autant détesté ?
Les premiers articles sont publiés, ça parle injustice et victim blaming. 👍

L’injustice faite au vélo - Heidi.news
En théorie, le vélo a toutes les vertus. Il décongestionne les villes, améliore la santé de ses utilisateurs et n’émet aucune pollution, ni sonore ni atmosphérique. En théorie, donc, toutes les villes...

My bet: There wont be any peace agreement in Ukraine during 2025. Ukraine will not accept one without security guarantees and Russia will not accept one with security guarantees. Peace will come only after Russia lose either on the battlefield or when their home front cracks wide open.

TikTok ist eine Waffe der CCP. Nichts als eine Waffe.

Eine Waffe, die die CCP bereit hält für die kommenden Kriege, und die bereits in den aktuellen Kriegen für PsyOps nutzt.

Zu glauben, dass „unsere“ Accounts im Ernstfall auch nur die geringste Reach hätten, ist dumm und naiv.
Tik Tok ist im #Bundestag angekommen. Aktuell zähle ich 325 MdB mit eigenem Account (44% der MdB).

Doch wer performed in den Parteien am besten?

Hier die Top 3 der Parteien nach Follower:innen & Likes 👇 (Stand 14.12.2024)

The Trump “blank canvas that everyone projects their views on” theory continues to be the most correct theory in the history of theory like how is this a real person. What is the information space they’re in that they reach this conclusion?

I wrote a list of 15 types of work where AI is particularly helpful, and also 5 areas where it can be a trap.

AI is still best, at least for now, as a co-intelligence working with humans. Knowing when to use it, and when to avoid it, is a useful skill. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/15-times-t...

Seven out of 2,500 scans may sound like a small group, especially in the somewhat self-selecting customer base of iVerify users, yet the fact that the tool has already found a handful of infections at all speaks to how widely the use of spyware has proliferated around the world.

Two years into the AI boom, it's imperative we understand the true power of "AGI"—as a narrative tool useful for winning investment, talent and headlines.

My report for AI Now details how OpenAI used the story of a rising AI that will replace humans to replace the need for an actual business model.

So since we’re talking prepper stuff, here’s my personal experience with ways that apocalypse prep supplies go wrong: some people think that they only need calories and it doesn’t much matter where it comes from or what it tastes like because if you are hungry, you’ll eat it.

With big-power competition on the rise and renewed interest in new tactical nuclear weapons and limited scenarios, this article about war game lessons should grab your attention:

I don't really see a clear path where we keep an open internet that is not mostly full of AIs talking to each other. We can't reliably detect AI content, it is cheap and easy to generate, and there are lots of incentives to do so, even besides scams.

You can see the problem on all the social sites.

a long-enduring night crew
has worked the darkened hours

nightwatch keeping.
and now this broken dawn,
a sign the morning has begun,
day crew starts its journey
toward a region free of worry
for our lake,
your water,
flows thru able hands.
