Ich hab jetzt auch mal den Text von Danger Dans "Keine Angst" gelesen und äh das ist das, was man seinen Kindern eh beibringt, oder nicht? Ich hab sowas und noch äh praktischere Dinge gelernt als ich unter 20 war. Von daher versteh ich die Aufregung nicht so ganz?

I need more Spanish in Chile than I needed Russian in Kazakhstan. Sadly, my Spanish is only vibes. Donde esta la bibliotheca etc. The last time people have so relentlessly talked at me I their native language despite me obviously not understanding them was Korea.

Künstlerische Forschung - mein Fachgebiet - setzt Kunst als Methode zur Wissensgewinnung ein. Unter anderem deshalb, weil Kunst sinnlich erfahrbar ist und deshalb neue Zugänge zu Wissen eröffnen kann. Lebe stets so dass Merz etwas dagegen hätte I guess.

the spectacularly naive perspective of Herndon and Dryhurst is... refreshing? But to think that the overwhelming online presence of AI slop will lead to Chatbots undistorted by commercial interests, answering truthfully, leading to refinement? Weltfremd.

Been learning about batteries. Lithium, Sodium. While sodium sounds like "Hey they're making batteries out of salt now", these kind of batteries need nickel and manganese. Highest concentration of nickel in the world is in Indonesia. Manganese? Ocean floor, South Africa or Ukraine.

That's not strange and haunting, that's fucking boring as shit. It's lazyness all around, starting with the programmers that just go fuck it let's all use the same training data and sell it to people as different kinds of AI, and ending with the self-published grifters who flood amazon with slop

The Chileans I meet are all very poetical when they speak English. And all very dark. I've been listening to rather frightening tales of getting "bone cold chills" in the desert and magic spells regarding technology. I love it all.

I talked to a person on the weekend. He is from Berlin. I am from Berlin. Growing up, there was no wall for him dividing Berlin into two parts, as it was for me. We both saw the wall fall, however, and we compared notes that evening how we both experienced it.

Die Tücke dieser Form von Slop ist, dass die Erstellerseite damit eben ihre eigene Weltsicht fotografisch verdoppelt, also selbst nicht denkt zu lügen, sondern Wahrheiten zu illustrieren, die man bisher 'leider' nicht fotografisch festhalten konnte.

I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
