I know that bad news is coming when a co-worker messages me with "You're gonna be so mad..."

Grammarly has rolled out an AI-powered "expert review" feature where its simulacrum of me makes suggestions for your text. My real edits are usually along the lines of "Throw this into the sea."

Expert Review Your guidance already highlights transparency and user trust; refining threat models, versioned documentation, user-centered examples, and layered information will make the advice more vivid and immediately actionable.

Die Ki-isierung des Kundendienstes ist das schlimmste was uns in der Servicewüste Deutschland passieren konnte.
Was man mittlerweile an Zeit verschwenden um sich durch dämliche Chatbots zu chatten oder durch Telefoncomputer zu tippen oder zu sprechen ist unfassbar.
Und vor allem in den meisten Fällen nutzlos.

Das Zitat ist nicht weniger als ein Rücktrittsgrund. Abgesehen von der Abstrahierung (mehr Risikoexperimente ohne Safeguards, weniger Datenschutz), die Wahnsinn genug ist (vom Staatssekreatär für Digitalisierung!).

Wo bitte kommen wir hin, wenn ein Regierungspolitiker einen Bürger und Bürgerrechtsaktivisten wie Max Schrems persönlich für verzichtbar erklärt?

Q: diepresse.com/20662631?giftcod

Zitat aus DIE PRESSE: "In den letzten Monaten wurde in den Behörden viel mit KI experimentiert. Jetzt gehe es darum, einen sicheren und strukturierten Einsatz von KI in der Verwaltung zu ermöglichen, sagt Pröll. Angesprochen auf die entsprechenden AI Act spart Pröll nicht mit Kritik und bezeichnet die Regularien als Hemmschuh: „Wir brauchen mehr Steinberger und weniger Schrems“ und spielt dabei auf den Entwickler Peter Steinberger, der kürzlich mit seinem AI-Agenten ClawdBot bei OpenAI andockte und dem Datenschutz-Aktivisten und Juristen Max Schrems."

Oui, ça te permet d’aller parfois un peu plus vite sans transpirer. Mais ça fait du bruit,ça pollue et tu ne vas jamais améliorer tes performances ni ta santé grâce à une pratique quotidienne. Au contraire !

English speakers of the fedi. In a software with the interface in English, Reading a menu with verbs such as Save, Open, Close, Edit, Format etc., do you read them as imperative (an order: "do this") or as an infinitive (the "base form" of the verb, like "to do this")?

Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

@kransPeter Brett That's a real and legitimate grievance, but it's a different argument from the one we were having.

Your employer using LLM translation to cut costs on documentation for a massive Korean customer (while having the resources to do it properly) is a decision made by someone with power, to save money, at the expense of Korean users. That's worth being angry about.

But I'm an individual trying to participate in a public conversation. I can't hire a personal interpreter every time I want to respond to a post. The choice I actually face is: use available tools, or stay silent. Those aren't the same situation, and the same tool can mean very different things depending on who's holding it and why.

If anything, your example reinforces the point. The problem isn't the tool, but it's who gets to decide when it's “good enough.”

“Our work demonstrates that 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is unreliable for the detection of illicit content: it is easy to incriminate someone by sending them false content with a hash value close to illicit content (a false positive) and to avoid detection of illicit content with minimal modifications to an image (a false negative)”

White-Box Attacks on PhotoDNA Perceptual Hash Function

𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is a widely deployed perceptual hash function used for the detection of illicit content such as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This paper presents the first mathematical description of 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴, a new function which has identical outputs to that of 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 for a large database of test images. From this description, several design weaknesses are identified: the algorithm is piece-wise linear and differentiable, the hash value only depends on the sum of the RGB values of each pixel, and it is trivial to find images with hash value equal to all zeroes. The paper further demonstrates that gradient-based optimization techniques and quadratic programming can exploit the mathematical weaknesses of 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 and 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 to produce visually appealing exact collisions and second preimages; for near-collisions and near-second-preimages the image quality can be further improved. The same techniques can be used to recover the rough shapes of an image from its hash value, disproving the claim from the designer that 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is irreversible. Finally, it is also shown that it is easy to produce high-quality perceptually identical images with a hash value that is far from the original image allowing to avoid detection. We have implemented our attacks on a large set of varied images and we have tested them on both 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 and 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴. Our attacks have success rates close or equal to 100% and run in seconds or minutes on a personal laptop; they present a substantial improvement over earlier work that requires hours on parallel machines and that results only in near-collisions. We believe that with additional optimization of the parameters, the image quality and/or the attack performance can be further improved. Our work demonstrates that 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is unreliable for the detection of illicit content: it is easy to incriminate someone by sending them false content with a hash value close to illicit content (a false positive) and to avoid detection of illicit content with minimal modifications to an image (a false negative). False positives and leakage of information are particularly problematic in a Client Side Scanning (CSS) scenario as envisaged by several countries, where large hash databases would be stored on every user device and billions of images would be hashed with 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 every day. Overall, our research cast serious doubts on the suitability of 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴for the large-scale detection of illicit content.
