the need for the inclusion of the graphic is a sad reminder of the shockingly low literacy rate among geese

Sign reads “No Geese” and includes a graphic of a goose silhouette in a red circle with a line through it.

Nice easter egg on DuckDuckGo.com. If you search for “Guybrush Threepwood”, the logo transforms into Guybrush. Spotted by Technical_Pass7714 on Reddit.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

A recent cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. my new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out now. Visit www.tomgauld.com for details

Panel 1
The shallow end of a swimming pool. A swimmer says "I got tired of hearing About so-called 'Infinity pools', so I created a genuine one. This is my first length".
"Good luck!" replies an onlooker standing by the steps.

Panels 2-4
The onlooker waits for the swimmer to come back. Time passes. The sun sets and rises. the onlooker ages.

Panel 5
"Impressive." says the onlooker, now old and walking with a stick.

“In a new paper published earlier this year in the Journal of Marketing, we uncovered a surprising pattern: The more knowledge people have about AI and how it works, the less likely they are to embrace it.”
