Die verges­sene Stadt: Roms Netz­werk beider­seits der Enns
Ein inter­dis­zi­pli­näres Forschungs­team mit Betei­li­gung der Univer­sität Inns­bruck hat bei St. Panta­leon-Erla in Nieder­ös­ter­reich die Über­reste einer bislang unbe­kannten römi­schen Stadt entdeckt. Es könnte sich dabei um die Sied­lung Clau­di­vium handeln, die wohl 180 n. Chr. aufge­lassen wurde.

how did this happen? well we forgot to tell them not to do that
"Al agents can make decisions at machine speed and, unless they have been created with explicit instructions not to do something, anything is fair game. Many of these routes to completion would normally be seen as malicious, but the problem is guardrails that specifically tell agents not to break into organisations have not been baked into the algorithms."

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
thedartmouth.com
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

35 years ago, on the 19th of September 1991, Erika and Helmut Simon discovered the mummified remains of a man who lived during the 4th millennium BCE. The man would later be nicknamed Ötzi after the Ötztal Alps where he was found. #otd #history 🗃️

Barack Obama is urging Democrats — including 2028 presidential candidates and congressional leaders — to more aggressively focus on a comprehensive AI agenda. "This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don't get on top of it, I think can be dangerous,” he warned.

Creating a robust AI agenda should be a top focus for Congress and presidential candidates, he said at a private fundraiser.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

2017 years ago, on the 11th of September 9 CE, the Battle of Teutoburg Forest between the Roman Empire and a Germanic alliance ended with a decisive defeat for the Empire. The XVII, XVIII and XIX legions were wiped out and never again appeared in the Roman Army's order of battle. 🗃️ #otd #history

It bugs me that we're normalising the idea that there's something wrong with long documents, or that they're not "worth" our time. There is huge value in careful thought, in detail and nuance, in exploration, and in the experiential journey that goes alongside that.

AI proponents always say that “AI is already here, might as well embrace it.” But isn’t the opposite also true? If AI is already here, isn’t the rational response to put up guardrails to ensure that it doesn’t kill us all or violate privacy? We did the same with automobiles and airplanes

I didn't want to say anything publicly. I was hoping I could take care of this privately but my reputation is on the line and the longer I let this go, the worse it's going to be for me. I do not use genAI When I see it and I know it, I don't repost it. If I suspect something is AI, I just don't

🧵8 Posts. On 6 September 1836, John Atkinson Grimshaw was born in a back-to-back house in Park Street, Leeds. Today, 190 years later, his name remains inseparable from the city he transformed into one of the most evocative subjects in Victorian art. Grimshaw was largely self-taught. As
John Atkinson Grimshaw’s 1881 masterpiece, Boar Lane, Leeds, perfectly captures the moody romance of a Victorian evening. The painting showcases a damp street glistening with reflections of warm gaslight from bustling shop windows. Renowned for his nocturnal urban landscapes, Grimshaw masterfully contrasts the eerie, twilight sky with the inviting glow of civilisation. This atmospheric piece remains an enduring tribute to industrial Leeds Image: Boar Lane, Leeds, 1881, Leeds Art Gallery

Bitte an der Stelle realisieren: Die Autoren WUSSTEN, dass ihre Studie Dreck war. Sie wußten aber auch, dass die Studie für lange Zeit online bleiben würde und damit haben sie das Framing gesetzt und das Narrativ bestimmt.
