"mit jeder Entscheidung, die wir an eine Maschine übertragen, übertragen wir auch Macht"

Wer kontrolliert die KI? - zackzack.at
KI schreibt unsere Texte und hilft bei immer mehr Entscheidungen. Heikel wird es, wenn andere sie nutzen, um über uns zu urteilen: Mit jeder Entscheidung, die wir an Maschinen abgeben, geben wir auch Macht ab.

These are human children, damn you, not units of production for your grey and soulless mills and offices. They should be playing, not being assessed, psychologically profiled and assigned to the optimal task to extract the maximum profit from them for your #kleptocrat masters.
This is a monstrous, abhorrent, inhuman proposal.

Dirichlet symbols and the nonlinear wave equation

Abstract: We study the operator symbols of Dirichlet type introduced by Hedenmalm and Shimorin (2020), in connection with a given contraction on $L^2$ of the unit disk. They are always holomorphic functions on the bidisk. Such Dirichlet symbols associated with the Grunsky operator of a univalent function on the disk or exterior disk are of particular significance. From the work of Hedenmalm and Shimorin, we know they are characterized as solutions of a certain nonlinear wave equation. We perform a local analysis of such symbols near the diagonal on the bidisk, and in so doing, we provide alternative chart coordinates for the infinite-dimensional manifolds of univalent functions of the disk or the exterior disk. Those coordinates allow us to characterize $\log\psi'$ for $\psi$ in the class $\Sigma$ of normalized univalent functions without explicitly touching the univalence property. Moreover, those manifolds extend the universal Teichm\"uller space of Lipman Bers beyond the quasicircle boundary setting, allowing for more fractality. The fractality of harmonic measure for the domain associated with the given univalent function can be studied in terms of the asymptotic variance introduced by McMullen (2008). The asymptotic variance captures the $L^2$ average amplitude of the nonlinearity. We introduce the new concept of Schwarzian asymptotic variance, which measures the average amplitude of the Schwarzian derivative in place of the nonlinearity. For this new Schwarzian asymptotic variance, we find that the effectiveaverage amplitude of $(1-|z|^2)^2|\Sop(\vp)|^2$ on the disk in the hyperbolic metric sense is at most $72/5=14.4$, considerably smaller than the maximum amplitude of $36$. Here, $\Sop(\vp)$ is the Schwarzian derivative of $\varphi\in\mathscr{S}$, and the analogous statement is valid for $\psi\in\Sigma$ as well.

Major Hurricane Lowell has begun its turn toward the north on a track that should take it just west of Kauai and Niihau, which are now under a Tropical Storm Watch.
The tropical storm watch means tropical storm conditions are possible within the next 48 hours. With winds and periods of heavy rain.
A Hurricane Watch has also been issued for the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
At 11 p.m. Saturday, Lowell’s maximum sustained winds had diminished slightly to 125 miles…
