Das Internet verrottet
Tote Links, gelöschte Webpages und geänderte URLs machen das Internet zu einem Ort der Sackgassen. Wie Informationen im Netz verschwinden, erinnert an einen der berühmtesten Bibliotheksbrände der Geschichte. Doch allzu oft sind es nicht Katastrophen, die Wissen vernichten, sondern Desinteresse.

We are living a grand illusion. As we watch Large Language Models (LLMs) draft essays, write functional code, and converse with poetic nuance, we operate under a quiet, dangerous assumption: that if we just stack enough parameters, compute cycles, and training text high enough, true understanding and intent will eventually spark at the top.
It won’t.

Why Cognition bought Poke: AI personality is becoming a competitive advantage | TechCrunch
AI coding startup Cognition has acquired Poke, the AI assistant you text like a friend, in a deal valuing the startup in the low nine figures. The acquisition brings Poke’s conversational style and interaction model to Cognition’s coding agent Devin, reflecting a growing belief that how AI assistants interact with users is as important as the models powering them.

Heute frug ich die Kollegin bei der Quell-Lektüre, ob es gesichert wäre, dass der von ihr übersetzte Text eine Umgebung ausschließlich männlicher Meditierender voraussetze, da sie nur männliche Pronomina verwendete. Sie meinte, öh, eigentlich nicht. Ich so im Erklärbärinnenmodus: ja, so würde male prototyping funktionieren. Und die beiden Männer in der Gruppe schlugen vor: Es wäre dann doch besser, würde sie zuerst mal "they" übersetzen (das hätte ja schon Shakespeare und so).

TIL that there's a limitation in the translation thingy in #Mastodon: it does not detect the post's language, instead it uses whatever the user sets as language.

Not ideal.

Worked with an #acting #coaching on a scene and one line was proving a challenge. So we interrogated the text of the line in a few different ways, found how it opened up, could have space in it and come out differently. Cool discovering ways to connect to it, get inside it.
