Pressemitteilung 06.06.2025 - Initiative Carolabrücke
Neues Konzept für Ersatzneubau in historischer Optik Die Initiative Carolabrücke bringt sich mit einem neuen Konzept in die Diskussion um einen Ersatzneubau ein. Zuletzt bescheinigte Baubürgermeister Stephan Kühn dem CDU-Vorschlag einer zweigeschossigen Brücke prinzipielle Umsetzbarkeit. Im Vergleich dazu ist eine gestalterische Anpassung an die typischen Dresdner Bogenbrücken leicht umsetzbar. Mit einer Konzeptdarstellung (siehe Anhang) zeigt die Initiative […]

How The Guardian is taking charge of AI licensings
During a recent INMA Webinar, Robert Hahn, director of business affairs and licensing at The Guardian, explained how the company has taken a proactive deal-making position to ensure it has control over its future and how the content is used in the AI era.

Kamala Harris won the U.S elections: Bombshell report claims voting machines were tampered with before 202
Kamala Harris election tampering story raises new questions about the 2024 U.S. presidential election outcome. A quiet but major change to voting machines by Pro V&V—used in over 40% of U.S. counties—was never publicly reviewed or disclosed. Watchdog group SMART Elections flagged suspicious updates, missing votes, and statistical anomalies suggesting potential vote tampering. Now, a lawsuit is moving forward, challenging whether Kamala Harris may have actually won.

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine:
You must respond immediately & call out the lies.
You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech.
All Dems should learn from it.

Distillation Robustifies Unlearning
Current LLM unlearning methods are not robust: they can be reverted easily with a few steps of finetuning. This is true even for the idealized unlearning method of training to imitate an oracle model that was never exposed to unwanted information, suggesting that output-based finetuning is insufficient to achieve robust unlearning. In a similar vein, we find that training a randomly initialized student to imitate an unlearned model transfers desired behaviors while leaving undesired capabilitie…

Towards Biosignals-Free Autonomous Prosthetic Hand Control via Imitation Learning
Limb loss affects millions globally, impairing physical function and reducing quality of life. Most traditional surface electromyographic (sEMG) and semi-autonomous methods require users to generate myoelectric signals for each control, imposing physically and mentally taxing demands. This study aims to develop a fully autonomous control system that enables a prosthetic hand to automatically grasp and release objects of various shapes using only a camera attached to the wrist. By placing the ha…

Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash

CoT is Not True Reasoning, It Is Just a Tight Constraint to Imitate: A Theory Perspective
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has demonstrably enhanced the performance of Large Language Models on tasks requiring multi-step inference. This success has led to widespread claims of emergent reasoning capabilities in these models. In this paper, we present a theoretical counter-perspective: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) does not elicit genuine, abstract reasoning. Instead, we argue that Chain-of-Thought functions as a powerful structural constraint that guides Large Language Models to imitate the …
