It will be interesting to assess in a few years wheter the legititmate uses of new machine learning techniques in science outweigh the damages they do.

Cool paper:

"Humans 40,000 y ago developed a system of conventional signs"

(It may or may not be writing, I guess)

That Americans name one of their weapons "Tomahawk" says a lot, doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure that it isn't just me. It is interesting that the fun part is drawing or coming up with answers, not writing a prompt.

I'd argue that creating something and coming up with answers is what humans like to do, we should not alienate ourselves from this.

Gibt ja ne Grafik dazu... aber ja viel ne deutlichere Bubble gab's wohl nie

Do the Americans spend more on sinking Cuba or on keeping Argentina afloat?

Swiss German is mainly just shortened German words so we don't have to talk so fast 😉

Yeah, in Switzerland it's a bit of a class thing as well... I use fressen fairly broadly

I actually don't know how to translate Fressen into English... it's from Brecht's "zuerst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral"... It's roughly "first comes eating then come the morals", but "eating" is not exactly "fressen"

Well, my spoken German is also slowly reverting to Swiss German because I don't speak it often anymore

My account still exists but I haven't been tempted at all to check in...

Chemtwitter. I haven't been back there so I wonder how many are still there...

Does it still exist?

I'm afraid there's (more than) 250 years of cultural, political, and economic momentum that no amount of flipped tables will stop...

Cremeschnitten sind halt aber einfacher zum essen 😉

Wenn ich Tompouce (nicht -poes) rufe sollte eine Katze kommen, die heisst nämlich so. Weil sie aber ne Katze ist kommt sie dann doch nicht.

Der goldne Topf ist das einzige Buch das ich in der Schule lesen musste und nicht scheisse fand (und finde). Am schlimmsten war das endlose gelaber von Goethe und Schiller...

Good thing it will only affect petrol prices and nobody just scraping by (or worse), with or without a car, anywhere in the world will be fine. Americans...

Brilliant work!

Als Banker wird der doch wohl Idealist sein ;-)

… genau wie der Hegel ;-)

Es hat doch mal wer geschrieben, dass Ideologie ein Prozess ist, der mit einem falschen Bewusstsein vollzogen wird...

Nobel laureate Joe Stiglitz says not only can AI take your job, it’ll make the ‘tech bro’ class richer while doing so | Fortune “Unfortunately, the tech bros, who are obviously advocates of this, are at the same time pushing for smaller government,” Stiglitz told Fortune.

This bank-approved economist is onto something big... 😁

I swear, contemporary Keynesians are like the sloths in Zootopia, next they'll discover that crises can't be avoided through demand management.
