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.

Watchdog group SMART Elections flagged suspicious updates, missing votes, and statistical anomalies suggesting potential vote tampering.

However, current evaluations of VLAs remain insufficient. Traditional imitation learning benchmarks are unsuitable due to the lack of language instructions. Emerging benchmarks for VLAs that incorporate language often come with limited evaluation ta…

You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech.
All Dems should learn from it.
