With code assistants a lot of the responses are correct but I also think that they are not right. Let me elaborate: tante.cc/2025/04/09/on-correct-but-…

On correct but wrong responses
For a research project I am currently evaluating all kinds of generative AI models (mostly for visual artifacts but some text based ones as well). There also is somewhat of a push at my employer to use those systems more because of “efficiency”. So we all know that LLMs fabricate facts meaning: They produce text […]

A color photo of a small body of water perfectly reflecting cumulus clouds in the sky above. The blues of the water and sky are very intense. There are some coniferous trees to the left and in the distance. There are dried grasses around the edges of the water.

Mexican cotton picker. Southern San Joaquin Valley, California #Mexican #California #NativeAmerican #DorotheaLange #SouthernCalifornia #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017763282
The image is a black and white photograph depicting a young Native American woman. She appears to be in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, California during cotton picking season as suggested by text annotations on the photo that read "Dorothea Lange 1938." The girl has dark hair parted in the middle and wears a simple greyish-brown shirt with suspenders across her chest. She is holding or leaning against large burlap sacks typical of agricultural work, indicating she may be engaged in cotton picking labor during this historical period. Her expression is serious and reflective as she gazes directly at the camera, suggesting an awareness of being photographed which was uncommon for subjects during that time due to photography's intrusive nature. The environment around her appears dry with sparse vegetation, consistent with a Southern California landscape.

Perhaps not the biggest joke, but it lands. #Tech
An image with a yellow background featuring black, bold, stencil-style text that reads: “THE BIGGEST JOKE ON MANKIND IS THAT COMPUTERS HAVE STARTED ASKING HUMANS TO PROVE THAT THEY AREN’T A ROBOT.” The text humorously references CAPTCHA tests, where humans must verify they are not automated bots.

Japanese agricultural workers packing broccoli near Guadalupe, California #Japanese #Guadalupe #California #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017769673
The image depicts a scene from the early 20th century with Japanese agricultural workers packing broccoli near Guadalupe, California. It is a black and white photograph showing six individuals around wooden crates filled with harvested crops.
In the foreground, there are three people: an adult woman in a hat leaning against one of the crates, her child sitting on it beside her, both dressed modestly for outdoor work; another woman standing next to them wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding onto something unseen. Behind this trio stands two men—one with his hands resting on his hips—a truck is visible behind these figures suggesting transportation or delivery.
The workers appear to be taking a break from laborious tasks, as indicated by their relaxed postures despite the heat implied through their clothing choices which seem intended for sun protection and practicality in agricultural work. The sky above them appears clear with no clouds indicative of good weather conditions during harvesting time.
