Content warning: Heavy mentions of rape | Study from University of North Dakota

I still can't get over the fact that ⇓ of men admit to doing rape if you simply don't call it that. If you say “are you willing to force a woman to have sex with you?” 31% of men would agree.
If you ask “would you rape a woman?” only 13% of men said they would.
Not only is 13% of men outright saying they'd rape a woman terrifying, but it also goes to show that 18% of men would rape a woman, but are uncomfortable with being called a rapist. Additionally, those are just…

»Dein Gesicht gehört uns – Die Gefahr automatischer Gesichtserkennung:
Ein Computersystem, das sekundenschnell jeden einzelnen Menschen auf der Welt identifizieren kann: Das klingt mehr nach dem Roman «1984» von George Orwell als nach der Realität. Und doch: Die Software des US-Unternehmens Clearview AI ist schon sehr nahe daran, genau das zu schaffen.«

Ein Computersystem, das sekundenschnell jeden einzelnen Menschen auf der Welt identifizieren kann: Das klingt mehr nach dem Roman «1984» von George Orwell als nach der Realität.

Efficient Attention Mechanisms for Large Language Models: A Survey
Transformer-based architectures have become the prevailing backbone of large language models. However, the quadratic time and memory complexity of self-attention remains a fundamental obstacle to efficient long-context modeling. To address this limitation, recent research has introduced two principal categories of efficient attention mechanisms. Linear attention methods achieve linear complexity through kernel approximations, recurrent formulations, or fastweight dynamics, thereby enabling scal…
