"Av alla undersökta medier sticker Dagens Nyheter ut. Det krävs 13 döda palestinier för att få lika många omnämnanden i tidningen som en död israel. Obalansen är långt högre än alla de andra medierna i vår undersökning och Dagens Nyheter är tillbaka på samma nivå som under krigets första år."

Cory Doctorow's morning thread helped make something click I'd been wrestling with for a long time but struggled to express. When I got into linguistics and AI about 15 years ago, I was imagining devising systems that made it easier to express expertise. What I found was techniques that […]

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

AI Slop accounts are not allowed on loops.video If you use AI occasionally, that is fine (so long as you label it as AI so people can filter it out if they prefer) But an account with a fake AI persona is a waste of resources that is often mass blocked. Please report them so we can […]

@zoemcphers Hmm, I tend to find lots I like! But its true that in some areas they are probably lacking if you compare them to the other big ones. But for experimental and alternative music I find them surprisingly good mostly!

@zoemcphers also offers probably the most suberb sound quality comparing to the alternatives. And also pays better (even though I hesitate to say the last part since we all know that streaming isnt a viable option for independent artists in general...)

I do not believe M, KD, and L voters are far-right sympathizers. I know many good Svenskar who have voted for center-right parties their whole lives. However, this year is different. Voting for M, KD, or L in 2026 will put SD in power instead of relegating its hate to the fringe. #SVPol

This is why I read @pluralistic He's so good at succinctly summing up important high-level concepts and then connecting them with the current problems we face. #capitalism #wealth #oligarchy

Piketty shows that this holds true across markets and nations and eras: all other things being equal, the market system produces a class of hereditary aristocrats who command the world's capital and direct its deployment, despite never having done anything. The market's most lavish rewards do not go to its most productive participants, but rather, to those participants who have the good fortune to emerge from the luckiest of orifices.

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI" by @pluralistic, and in that context found this article by The Economist a somewhat hilarious read […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Quoted from Economist article: "A rough calculation finds that covering AI capex through identifiable AI income requires revenue on the order of $2.5trn per year, more than tech’s entire combined revenue today (and far higher than what would have been needed a year or so ago, when capex plans were more modest). Only a small minority of consumers seem willing to pay for personal AI subscriptions, so the real money will have to be made from selling to enterprises."

Dijkstra summing up the "Can Machines Think" problem as akin to asking whether "Submarines can swim", courtesy of @pluralistic (possibly my second favourite Dijkstra quote, after "Computer Science is as much about computers, as Astronomy is about telescopes")

I can think of only one explanation of this curious phenomenon, and that is the
combination of strong local pressure and malleable computing groups that yielded
only too easily to those pressures. Let us deal with the malleability first and with the
pressures later.

The malleability is understandable when we realize that at the beginning the
computing community was very uncertain as to what its topic was really about and got
in this respect very little guidance from the confused and confusing world by which it
was surrounded.

The Fathers of the field had been pretty confusing: John von Neumann speculated
about computers and the human brain in analogies sufficiently wild to be worthy of a
medieval thinker and Alan M. Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of
whether Machines Can Think, a question of which we now know that it is about as
relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

A futher confusion came from the circumstance that numerical mathematics was at the
time about the only scientific discipline more or less ready to use the new equipment.
As a result, in their capacity as number crunchers, computers were primarily viewed as
tools for the numerical mathematician, and we needed a man with the vision of Stanley
Gill to enunciate that numerical analysis was for the computing scientist like toilet
paper for the sanitary engineer: indispensable when he needs it.
