Fox News is telling us that the market doesn't matter.
Under Biden, any tiny downward tick was viewed as the apocalypse, but now the market doesn't matter.
It's almost like those guys aren't serious journalists. 
I’m gonna say it louder for the folks in the back: Mozilla is not what you think it is. Mozilla is not what they say they are. Mozilla is just another for-profit Silicon Valley tech company that has a not-for-profit doing its PR.

EUpolicy.social - A Mastodon server for the EU bubbleJan Penfrat (@ilumium@eupolicy.social)Wow so the #Mozilla engineer disagrees and claims "#GDPR has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the #browser should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggregated form to advertisers.
This would "give control to people while also unlocking the data". 🥱
And all in a sudden, #SurveillanceAdvertising is not a #humanrights issue any more but merely a question of "governance".
Stop legitimising Mozilla.
They’re sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

EUpolicy.social - A Mastodon server for the EU bubbleJan Penfrat (@ilumium@eupolicy.social)At a #Mozilla event in #Brussels this morning about "#privacy-first online #advertising". I am _very_ curious where this weirdest of things Mozilla does is going. 🤔
Speakers: Petra Wikström, policy person at #Schibsted, @rvaneijk@mastodon.nl, @eff@mastodon.social's Svea Windwehr and Mozilla's own Martin Thompson.

Gender swapping Aslan is stupid.
Throughout the Narnia books,
Aslan is a HE. Aslan is male. 
He's a Lion. Not a lioness.
Leave things as they are.
Respect the source material.
It's not hard.
I'm sick of this woke bullshit.
As a mathematician, I am upset by *anyone* who starts by setting ε < 0.

@heiseonline Nein, die Kliaziele sind nicht durch CO₂-Speicherung zu erreichen, sondern nur durch den sofortigen STOPP FOSSILER EMISSIONEN!

@muellertadzio ja, weil mehr #KI-#Bullshit und #Cloud-Blödsinn verzapft wird!

I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing.
It's pretty much absurd to do so without seriously interrogating whether the #Trump regime actually knows the shit it does or whether this is just a #dismantling operation by #AgentKrasnov to enshure #Putin gets what he wants.
- After all, the whole #Ukraine - #Invasion timeline would've been perfect if Trump caused a #CivilWar in 2020 and thus upend any #resolve.
Tho in the meantime it only resulted in the #EU coming closer together and #Europe finding resolve against #Russia, with both #NATO and EU becoming stronger than before...
- Granted the #USA already lost it's credibility in 2012 when Putin invaded #Crimea and the #BudapestMemorandum was violated #consequences-free instead of #BootsOnTheGround by the #US, #UK and #France and the current support for #Kyiv is the absolute bare minimum to avoid the political suicide that are flagged coffins returning home since in #Europe - unlike the USA - going to war isn't guaranteed to get elected, but rather will tank ratings (as it should be)!
Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point!

hm i thought i spotted something in the Euro averages but the FTSE MIB breaks it
dang
(it would've been ... mitigating news. not good.)
Regardless, still looks like the Euro stock markets don't want to be down a full 6%. Multiple averages have been bouncing off that.
But who even fucking knows right now, right? Across East Asia it was "massively down at open, then some bargain-hunting in some markets but not all, but mostly a slow glide down the rest of the day."

Schlimmer noch München: Nachdem der Stadtrat schon recht früh, nämlich anlässlich des EOL von Windows NT 4, die Umstellung auf freie Software beschlossen hatte und die mehrere Jahre dauernde Migration schließlich erfolgreich abgeschlossen war, gab es einen Regierungswechsel und eine der ersten Amtshandlungen von SPD-OB Reiter und der CSU war die RÜCKKEHR in die Microsoft-Abhängigkeit für viele Mio. EUR.
Eine rein politisch-ideologische Entscheidung unter Lobby-Hörigkeit!

Diese Abhängigkeit von Microsoft ist ein Armutszeugnis. Seit mindestens über einem Jahrzehnt warnen Experten – doch Ignoranz, Profitgier oder blanke Inkompetenz verhindern jede Einsicht. Wer Verantwortung trägt, entscheidet sich bewusst fürs Weitermachen. Das ist fahrlässig und beschämend.

In other words, Generative AI and LLMs lack a sound epistemology and that's very problematic...:
"Bullshit and generative AI are not the same. They are similar, however, in the sense that both mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult or impossible to distinguish which is which. ChatGPT has been designed to sound convincing, whether right or wrong. As such, current AI is more about rhetoric and persuasiveness than about truth. Current AI is therefore closer to bullshit than it is to truth. This is a problem because it means that AI will produce faulty and ignorant results, even if unintentionally.
(...)
Judging by the available evidence, current AI – which is generative AI based on large language models – entails artificial ignorance more than artificial intelligence. That needs to change for AI to become a trusted and effective tool in science, technology, policy, and management. AI needs criteria for what truth is and what gets to count as truth. It is not enough to sound right, like current AI does. You need to be right. And to be right, you need to know the truth about things, like AI does not. This is a core problem with today's AI: it is surprisingly bad at distinguishing between truth and untruth – exactly like bullshit – producing artificial ignorance as much as artificial intelligence with little ability to discriminate between the two.
(...)
Nevertheless, the perhaps most fundamental question we can ask of AI is that if it succeeds in getting better than humans, as already happens in some areas, like playing AlphaZero, would that represent the advancement of knowledge, even when humans do not understand how the AI works, which is typical? Or would it represent knowledge receding from humans? If the latter, is that desirable and can we afford it?"
papers.ssrn.comAI as Artificial IgnoranceAI and bullshit (in the strong philosophical sense of Harry Frankfurt) are similar in the sense that both prioritize rhetoric over truth. They mix true, false,
KI ist bald überall! Im Betriebssystem, im Browser – bald im Toaster? Endlich ein Algorithmus, der mir sagt, wann mein Brot knusprig genug ist! Währenddessen entscheiden Chatbots über Kredite, Jobs und vielleicht bald über meine Laune. Klingt super, oder? Diese absurde Ausbreitung geht mir gewaltig auf die Nerven.
