Die Krise der Republik hängt nicht an einzelnen Personen oder Reformen, sondern an einem Verlust an politischer Gestaltungskraft angesichts einer immens gesteigerten Komplexität der politischen Aufgaben.

In this collaboration with Stefan Dollinger, I was able to engage in analytical attention toward Canadian attitudes toward the idea of "Canadian Standard English," and editorial attention toward Australia. It's been fun. doi.org/10.1080/0726... 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇦🇺

I have released formant-extraction-skill, a skillset that takes interviews from raw audio to a vowel-formant CSV in a single prompt. Run in Claude Cowork (desktop) or Claude Code (CLI). github.com/wordsmith189/formant-extraction-skill v1 covers AmE only; bilingual support planned for v2.

3x this year, people (strangers) have come up to me and said "you know who you look like, right?" -- they mean the actor Matthew Lillard. Well - Tarantino just gave us (me and Matthew) a bad review, and I must say, I'm not that pleased! www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

Und wie geht es nun mit Russland und der Ukraine weiter? Die „Berliner Zeitung“ weiß, wer es wirklich weiß: ChatGPT. Klar, weil die KI „über mehr Informationen verfügt als alle internationalen Experten zusammen und sich somit vermutlich ein umfassenderes Bild machen kann.“ 🤷‍♂️

There's a trend going around TikTok to have ChatGPT create visual alphabets (because the output is always full of ridiculous mistakes). I generated this one to use an example to help explain WHY AI image generators make these kinds of mistakes. It turned out even better/worse than expected.

a colorful visual alphabet labeled AI Ethica Alphabet, with letters, icons, and brief explanations. Examples include: B is for Bias with "Consent: AI can reflect and amplify unfair prejudices"; G is for Governancs with "Governance: Rules and oversight for safe i deployment"; G is for Governance with "Justice: injured indegeend If train ing snhzenic data repeordity"; P is for Regulation with "Oversight: Humans must se-powy important AI tasks"; R is for Regulation with "Guality Data: Good data prevents poor or biased outputs"

I say between 10 and 20 because it depends on things like the variety of English in question and whether we're counting only monophthongs.
