So now we can all create endless AI generated pictures with Bing chat, an example made with "Create a picture of a modern house on an exposed cliff" , quite nice. #AI #GenerativeAI #Bing

Why do people choose instead of , I can't imagine any reason except that part of your network is already there or are there other reasons?

Geography matters, if you look at the approach to Moscow, blowing up 2-3 bridges is enough to stop the Wagner column it seems ?🤔

Good idea, other countries should follow, "Japan Goes All In: Copyright Doesn’t Apply To AI Training", https://technomancers.ai/japan-goes-all-in-copyright-doesnt-apply-to-ai-training/

So played around with Ukrainian lives when he didn't get paid (article in New Yorker). Warning for governments with regard to being dependent on commercial companies for critical communications.

Ik gebruik Twitter/ X en Mastodon nog naast elkaar maar het valt me op dat nu het moment daadwerkelijk daar is dat mijn Mastodon tijdlijn en lijsten, interessanter en beter zijn dan X

Leading AI researchers are good in AI...not in policy 😀 , their "extinction" statement was not smart, maybe well intended but it distracts from the real and more likely risks with regard to AI such as bias, discrimination, privacy, human rights violations, use by bad actors, weapons, cyber etc etc. There is enough to discuss but let's skip extinction for now...

In Nederland hebben we een"traditie" waarbij we zeker weten dat we tientallen auto's afbranden, objecten opblazen, agenten en anderen verwonden, eigendommen van particulieren en overheid beschadigen. Andere landen kijken verbijsterd toe.

Terugkijken waard, hoe mensen worden bedreigd op X (links, rechts, journalistiek), het bedrijf hier geld aan verdient, geen verantwoordelijkheid neemt en niet aanspreekbaar is. Wat doen overheidsorganisaties nog op dit platform vraag ik me af..

Interesting article, indeed it's very unlikely did not anticipate a ground assault on after their operation in , it's probably exactly what they want...

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social avatar

Maybe i am missing something but i don’t see how Russia could get troops or military equipment to Transnistria. The possibilities for russian actions seem limited.

No words really, Ukraine cities blown away by NorthKorean and Iranian missiles, but the German will not allow supply of cruise missile. Rewarding Russian agression. What are they thinking...

Israel drops leaflets over Gaza ordering people to move away to "safer" areas, it's all a bit surreal because who will feed them there, how safe will it be, when can they return etcetera ?

Het blijft een opvallend fenomeen, VVD kiezers sluiten liever een coalitie met een partij die een liberaal beginsel uit de grondwet niet respecteert (godsdienstvrijheid), voor Nexit is (ramp voor NL), Oekraïne niet wil steunen,dan eventueel een coalitie met GL-PvdA overwegen 🤔

If USA fails to support Ukraine, while they publicly promised many times they would be supporting Ukraine in their fight, it will damage US credibility worldwide. Even worse it will destabilize Europe , weaken NATO and will give the (correct) impression to Putin the west is weak and he can win this and other wars. Mainland Europe will pay the price but republicans/GOP don't care about that @Geopolitics

Hoe mooi en gaaf ook is, advertenties zijn ook daar uiteindelijk onafwendbaar verder is het een platform gecontroleerd door 1 bedrijf, voordelen van en blijven overeind lijkt me. Meer controle over data, flexibeler, opensource etcetera

Visiting a country that invaded another country, attacks civilian targets in a war, abducted children, has destroyed democracy, kills his political opponents and destroyed free media. Tucker Carlson is betraying everything his country stands (or stood) for. Ofcourse you can argue he is there as a "journalist" but i don't think he qualifies as such

This is the big risk in the debate around copyright and AI trainingsdata.
"Requiring model-building organizations to purchase the rights to their training data would inevitably leave generative AI in the hands of a small number of unassailable monopolies"
