L'article #Wikipédia consacré à @mediapart.fr a dû être semi-protégé en raison de vandalismes consécutifs à l'enquête parue sur l'antisémitisme de Jordan Bardella. w.wiki/Vm2S

Modification de l'intro de l'article Wikipédia :

'''''Mediapart''''' est un un outil de manipulation d'opinion sous couvert d'être un [[Journal|quotidien]] de gauche voire d'extrême gauche de [[presse en ligne]] français souvent calomnieux et infondé qui a été fondé en 2007 par un groupe de journalistes dont [[Edwy Plenel]] et présidé depuis 2024 par [[Carine Fouteau]].

I was reading a few days ago the paper underlying the tool. I am torn, TBH, as it is based on an LLM called Qomhrá. I do feel that developping LLM tools for Irish might become detrimental to the development of Irish in Ireland. Here is the paper BTW: aclanthology.org/2026.loreslm...

What is happening is not that AI-generated cultural goods are replacing human-made cultural goods; what is happening is that capital is flowing out of the production of cultural goods *entirely,* making us all poorer for it.

The respect I have for Gavin Bazunu is immense. 24 years old with his career ahead of him and he made a decision that every other person in safer positions of power above him failed to have the courage to make themselves. A true representative of Irish people everywhere

I just had a focus group meeting over some draft ideas of the new HSE trans model of care. I almost exploded. I said before the ideas were presented that at best, I thought the HSE would do fuck all, at worst, I thought they'd find more efficient and effective means to abuse us. I was so right...

Ireland acts on Gaza have not been decisive enough, but at least, this is a clear and unambiguous declaration of the Head of Government. Pendant ce temps-là, le 1er ministre belge continue de rajouter des "mais" quand il parle de Gaza, de son occupation, des crimes commis.

Honestly think bullshit is the defining problem of our time, and that we won't solve all our other problems if we don't deal with bullshitters. It's easy to make up a load of old crap, because the more crap you spout, the harder it is for anyone to debunk it (though debunking doesn't work anyway).

I honestly think that we haven't had a pop star with the talent and ambition of Chali XCX (with AG Cook ofc) for a long long time. I was ready to hate "Music, Fashion, Film" the same way I was for "Brat", and it convinced me all the same, while being radically different albums.

I was wondering the same about the RTE Healy-Ray "documentary". When I studied journalism, I learned that proximity between a journalist and politics can be tricky to manage to avoid becoming a tool for them. It feels like irish media will gladly do politicians promotion for audience.

Some people would love to claim that credit, but it appears that the landlord of those people don't register their tenancy with the RTB, and that you can't claim the credit without that registration. Should they denounce their landlord and risking becoming homeless? No, probably not.

Oh, this is a useful set of statistics. You can use it to assess just what sort of numbers of JOBS the Government means when it says we need the data centres in Ireland for the JOBS. You’d create more employment running a small chain of centras.

In a way, believing LLM produces reasoning is akin to believing in Intelligent Design. "As life is so complex, it must have been intentionally created so God exist" is the same than "Because LLM output is so well-articulated, it can't just be statistically produced, and therefore LLM are reasoning"

A significant contributor to the gender pay gap and the continuing financial disparity between men and women is the undervaluing of all of the unpaid care work done by women in Ireland. Women all over Ireland get up early, every morning, and go to work, unpaid and unvalued.

Last week, I learned that some cousins were still invited to vote in Italy, because their parents were Italians, even though they've never been. Countries will give right to vote to people who have zero connection to it, while refusing it to people living there for years. That's racism.

I am sorry, but a tax credit for everyone is the least fair way to support people. How is it fair than someone who makes 200k/y receive the same as someone who makes 30k? By all means, a fair system would raise tax for the former and lower them for the later.
