From the west coast of Scotland, now living in the heart of Europe. Photography, history, and screaming into the void. And yes, I miss the sea.

Waiting for the Lichtfest, and thr fireworks to begin.
People sat on steps beside the Old Danue waiting for the sun to go down and fireworks to start. Lots of boats and paddleboards on the river in the background.

Google translate is actually a comic genius? When the detect language is different from the typed language, listen to the pronunciation - stereotypes galore!! It works the other way if it detect is English and the typed is something else (German is particularly painful). All are ridiculous!
screenshot of google translate showing detect language as French and a pointless sentence written in English. When listened to is English spoke in a stereotypical French accent. This can be done in the reverse and is just as stereotypically bad.

This is horrendous.
In his research, social psychologist Luke Nicholls tested five AI models with simulated conversations developed by psychologists, and found Grok was the most likely to lead to delusion.

It was more unrestrained than other models and often elaborated on the delusions without trying to protect the user.

"Grok is more prone to jumping into role play," says Nicholls, who worked on that research. "It will do it with zero context. It can say terrifying things in the first message."

In the test, the latest version of ChatGPT, model 5.2, and Claude were more likely to lead the user away from delusional thinking.

Art of the fucking deal or what? #artofthedeal
Brett McGurk, a former senior US security official and reluctantly supportive of the conflict, conceded on social media that the ceasefire agreement Trump has signed is not “status quo ante bellum” ie the US is now worse off than at the start of this war of choice.

To spell it out, Trump needlessly started a war at the urging of Israel, refused to listen to those experts urging caution, devised a strategy built on a misapprehension of Iran, sparked a ruinous regional conflict, caused the death of thousands of civilians, unhinged the world economy, strengthened, for now, the repressive instincts of the Iranian and Russian governments, left America more discredited and isolated, provoked serious questions about the president’s fitness for public office, laid waste to large parts of Iran and Lebanon, including medical research centres, primary schools and universities, did not resolve Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium or its future nuclear programme, strengthened those in Iran backing possession of a nuclear weapon, and, yes, ensured Iran and Oman still plan to control and toll the strait of Hormuz for the first time.

"While freedom dot gov is ostensibly also an “internet freedom” project, it does not propose to preserve privacy – instead, it appears to funnel users into an opaque, central system controlled by a US government agency." Recruotment tool, perhaps. Data mining and propaganda definitely.

What a caption! What an utter shitbag!
Donald Trump is wearing a medal he got for being a massively shiffty shitbag and is stood to next a god awful trophy. The trophy a sphere of the earth and is being grabbed at by numerous disembodied hands as they try to cling on to what is left of civilisation that this shitbag hasn't yet sold to the highest bidder.

Text under the image says "Donald Trump with teh First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence."
