@hikingdude@mastodon.socialA this photo from yesterday's location scouting could fit for #thickTrunkTuesday , right?
It's been quite a time since I went to a new location with the clear intent of location scouting. - It took me a while until I was able to "see" something as I was so much in walking/hiking-mode.
But it was a good experience to do it again.
@mlawton@mstdn.socialThere was nothing overtly malicious in Van de Ven’s challenge, but it was desperate, late, and had the kind of scissoring action that is specifically outlawed for this very reason. It should have been at least a yellow card, but the scissoring would have upgraded it to a red card. IFAB rules are clear that intent doesn’t matter when determining if a challenge should be disciplined. We now know the injury resulted in a fractured fibula and he will escape unpunished.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI’m a bit concerned that the OP’s framing takes scenario 1 as a given (or at least is likely to be understood that way). The history of the current AI bubble is full of warnings about AI that are secretly •advertisements• for AI, and I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.
(I doubt that’s the OP’s intent! But regardless of intent, it’s a danger, something to watch out for.)

@cdarwin@c.imDonald Trump on Monday blamed Rob Reiner’s outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director’s killing,
delivering the unsubstantiated claim in a shocking post that seemed intent on decrying his opponents even in the face of a tragedy.

@egallager@social.treehouse.systemsThe ACLU of New Hampshire recently revealed via a Right-to-Know request that NH Gov't was notified of ICE's intent to convert a warehouse in the town of Merrimack into a detention facility.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIf the only thing in an officer's mind between dialogue and deadly force is getting brushed to the side by a vehicle doing less than 5mph driven by a smiling mother in a red sweatshirt and pullover then I wonder about that officer's suitability for his job.
The new video from the murdering officer's phone makes it pretty damn clear there was no intent to harm and no risk of harm from anyone except the officer holding the camera and gun.

@kurtsh@mastodon.socialI have never seen a more tone deaf TV advertisement than the #Amazon Artificial Intelligence, "I COULD KILL YOU HUMAN LET ME VISUALIZE THE WAYS YOU COULD DIE AT MY HAND".
Maybe drawing attention - any attention - to their poorly adopted AI was their intent, but DAMN, that was cringeworthy.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialJust finished "Orsinian Tales" by Ursula K Le Guin. It's... good, but not nearly as anarchist as a lot of her other work. These are short fiction stories weaving mostly through a fictional Eastern European country during the cold war, although some stretch farther back into history.
As typical for Le Guin a bunch of male protagonists, and a few parts that might seem to excuse sexual assault, which I've always found an odd thing in Le Guin's work (the rape in "The Dispossessed" bothered me too; the lack of strong female characters in "A Wizard of Earthsea" also sticks out to me). On the other hand, I've read from an interview that she wrote "Earthsea" absolutely knowing her audience (teenage boys) and intentionally writing something that would sell, which speaks to true mastery of her craft (I think the opening of "The Word for World is Forest" demonstrates what an expert can do wielding an intimate understanding of pulp science fiction tropes with intent, for example).
In any case, she writes sublime similes and sparse characters who nevertheless seem to embody deep wisdom about the human condition. I feel that often enough just a few words or sentences in a story bear forth hefty wisdom while around them Le Guin constructs something like an austere painting in muted tones, full of rich details that one can easily miss.

@gwire@mastodon.socialI'd be interested find out if AI providers are considered responsible for any defamation their equipment generates and publishes. How much of the law assumes an intent that can't be applied to AI?
Is mens rea something that can be tested in LLM? Is that even a meaningful question? Is it all just libel through negligence?

1. Van Dijk's handball. WTF

3. Konate's continue mental lapses 🤷
4. A sloppy Gakpo pass leads to a counter when everyone on the field, subs and all, are tilted toward pulling one back. Who really cares about this one?
