In today's ISE 2025 lecture,, we will introduce SPARQL as a query language for knowledge graphs. Again, I'm trying out 'Dystopian Novels' as example knowledge graph playground. Let's see, if the students might know any of them. Wtat do you think? ;-)

Asked 5 different local AIs (not internet based nor connecting to the internet):
What is the average airspeed of a fully laden swallow?
And they attributed it to 3 novels: Alan Sillitoe's "The Lonely Voice"(which does not exist), Douglas Adams's "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and also the correct answer, the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
So as long as we're good with AI being 75%…

Rayons is such a great musician. As I am reading a novel and listening to the soundtrack of the anime adaptation, I am getting murdered by feels. She nailed the soundtrack, she nailed the mood of the novels, everything is perfect. I know that wishing for more recognition for her is a bit off-tone given that she did the new era of Japan ceremony music too, but I feel like she deserves more public eye

Just read Fat Girls Dance by Cathleen Meredith, yet another semi-random venture into the currently-popular novels section of my library, rather than my recent YA staples. It's excellent. Fascinating and well-written just as fiction, but also empowering and perspective-upgrading (and I'm a married white cis man who is only beer-belly fat, plus already well into #BodyPositive thinking).
It bridges really well with Mama by Nikkya Hargrove, and with Does My Body Offend You by Mayra Cuevas and Marie Marquardt, both of which I went through recently. Yet another home fucking run for #OwnVoices, which felt extra good to read after Dream State was so disappointing. It really digs into and helps the reader explore body positivity just like Does My Body Offend You does with feminism.

I am triply cautious of this article from @…:
- OpenAI et al use the supposed danger (and thus implied power) of their own product as a marketing ploy (as the article points out)
- When a product vendor funds their own research about the potential dangers of their product, it’s more likely to be good PR than good research
- Society always engages in moral panics about new things causing addiction and psychological damage (including bicycles and novels!)
With those caveats in mind, I do think this is an issue worth watching closely. And that quote in the post? Chef’s kiss.

In spite of having read several of Iain Banks' non-Sci Fi oeuvre I had never been remotely tempted by the culture novels, though I have friends who raves about them at Uni. Then I spotted this on a summer reading table at the library, which I suppose shows the value of a good librarian...
#IainMBanks #Culture novel. Actually, surprisingly my first. That's the gift of both train travel and a good book. #bookstodon #booksky #FlyingLess

Week 1 - #EroticMusings Setting — Is sexuality suppressed or celebrated in your setting? Is the setting erotic in its own right?
Writing in German, but still wanted to participate here. In Erytan, where at least the first five novels take place, sexuality is not only celebrated. Ethical BDSM is governing every aspect of culture, including the aspect that the official title of the q…

Tomorrow, we will dive deeper into ontologies with OWL, the Web Ontology Language. However, I'm doing OWL-lectures now for almost 20 years - and OWL as well as the lecture haven't changed much. So, I'm afraid I'm going to surprise/dissapoint the students tomorrow, when I will switch off the presentation and start improvising a random OWL ontology with them on the blackboard ;-)

Just finished "Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know" by Samira Ahmed. It's a good book, although it took until past the middle for me to really get sucked in. Fascinating mix of romance history mystery, and with an ending that nicely fits the theme. Honestly, as much as I'm enjoying uncomplicated romance novels with the expectable ending at this point in my life, I'm even more excited by things like this that bend or break genre conventions, and this one does it in beautiful service to a theme.
