LLM and GenAI rant by Drew DeVault

"We are experiencing dozens of brief outages per week, and I have to review our mitigations several times per day to keep that number from getting any higher."

"If you personally work on developing LLMs et al, know this: I will never work with you again, and I will remember which side you picked when the bubble bursts."

Holy shit, Drew has _had_ it.

And this, folks, is why some of us are so passionately hating LLMs and generative AI.

Also, erst wird der Universitätsabschluss aberkannt.
Dann wird Imamoğlu verhaftet.
Nun wurde seine Firma beschlagnahmt.

Erdogan scheint es sehr wichtig zu sein, diesen Konkurrenten komplett auszuschalten.

22 Jahre Erdogan und kein Ende in Sicht. *ächz*

Einen weiteren Grund liefert uns die Stadt selbst, denn die Verträge mit den "Werbepartnern" sind sehr problematisch und reichen sogar bis in Verordnungen der Verwaltung hinein.

Beispiel gefällig?

In den Vorgaben, die wir für das Aufstellen der Wahlplakate bekommen haben, steht allen Ernstes Folgendes drin:

"Die nachstehende Auflistung enthält Standorte, an denen das Aufstellen von Werbeträgern unzulässig ist. [...]

Soweit durch die Werbeträger die direkte Sicht auf die Werbeanlagen von Unternehmen, mit denen die FHH Verträge zur Ausübung von Werbung auf Staatsgrund geschlossen hat, einschränken"

> Soweit durch die Werbeträger die direkte Sicht auf die Werbeanlagen von Unternehmen, mit denen die FHH Verträge zur Ausübung von Werbung auf Staatsgrund geschlossen hat, einschränken oder den Zugang zu Fahrgastunterständen behindern

Und:

Wir sind ja gar nicht gegen Außenwerbung. Wir sind gegen optisch *dominante* .

Der "Fachverband Außenwerbung e.V." möchte gern Werbebildschirme mit Außenwerbung allgemein gleichsetzen, weil "Digital Out of Home" als Wachstumsmarkt gesehen wird.

Aber Außenwerbung gab es auch vorher ... und wird es auch mit unserem Gesetz weiter geben. Nur eben mit gewissen Regeln und nicht zu dominant.

[김후주/활동가 '향연'] '벼락 활동가'가 됐다고 저는 표현을 하고 있어요. 남태령의 불꽃이 아직도 꺼지지 않았다는 걸 많이 느끼고 있거든요. ... [정보라/작가] "노벨 문학상 배출했는데 그 뒤에서는 나와서 길거리에서 데모해야 된다는 게 그것도 너무 한심하고요." SF 소설 '저주토끼'로 부커상 최종후보에 올라 자칭 '저주 전문가'라는 그는, 소설을 뛰어넘는 현실을 탄식했습니다. imnews.imbc.com/replay/2025/...

Costco thriving after retailers like Target bend the knee to Trump and roll back DEI initiatives.

“Black and Hispanic households appear to be reducing visits at disproportionately high rates in the weeks following Target’s DEI rollback.”

ぶっちゃけた話、自分の個人サイトではもう とか考えるモチベーションがない。
自分個人のサイトなら別に検索されたいとも思わないし、標準化どころかオープンですらない のアルゴリズムを追いかけるの不毛すぎる。
昔の IE5 とかのレンダリングエンジンのほうが手元ですぐ問題が再現するという意味でまだ良かった、くらいに思っている。
(もちろん仕事だったらそうはいかないが)

‘marā beboos’ (مرا ببوس/kiss me), irān, 1957
hasan golnaraghi

مرا ببوس مرا ببوس برای اخرین بار،
تو را خدا نگهدار که میروم بسوی سرنوشت…
بهار ما گذشته، گذشته ها گذشته،
منم به جستجوی سر نوشت…
در میان طوفان همپیمان با قایقرانها،
گذشته از جان، باید بگذشت از طوفانها…
به نیمه شبها دارم با یارم پیمانها،
که بر فروزم آتشها در کوهستانها…
شب سیه سفر کنم، ز تیره راه گذر کنم،
نگه كن ای گل من، سرشک غم به دامن، برای من میفکن…
دختر زیبا امشب بر تو مهمانم،
در پیش تو می مانم، تا لب بگذاری بر لب من…
دختر زیبا از برق نگاه تو، اشک بی گناه تو ،
روشن سازد یک امشب من…
مرا ببوس مرا ببوس برای اخرین بار،
تورا خدا نگهدار که میروم بسوی سرنوشت…
بهار ما گذشته، گذشته ها گذشته،
منم به جستجوی سر نوشت…

피아니스트 언드라시 시프가 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령의 행보를 비판하며 미국 공연 보이콧을 선언했습니다. 홀로코스트를 경험한 유대인 가정에서 태어난 시프는 “이민자 대량 추방을 요구하는 트럼프 대통령의 모습이 2차 세계대전 당시 삶의 터전을 잃고 쫓겨나던 유대인의 고통을 떠올리게 했다”고 말했습니다.

💰 Spain is done with AI slop and disinfo

「 The Spanish bill, which needs to be approved by the lower house, classifies non-compliance with proper labelling of AI-generated content as a "serious offence" that can lead to fines of up to 35 million euros ($38.2 million) or 7% of their global annual turnover 」

Divide I've noticed: people who have never experienced systemic oppression in their own or their family's lives are treating this like business as usual. Those who have family memories of camps, unjust incarceration, or are part of vulnerable communities, are freaking out. Listen to the latter.

took a huge bet that running on US big-tech toxic infrastructure is fine because its groundbreaking and industry-shaping cryptography is crafted to neutralize it and keep users safe.

But is it really feasible to live on toxic infrastructure in the longer run?

rather takes a bet on the massive e-mail server network and interoperable protocols, and on servers which enforce message encryption and metadata-minimization.

Delta is for when centralization turns sour.

Don't indent Twitter-like "threads" (i.e. chains of short posts from the same author that are self-replies).
