Il n'est pas nécessaire d'écrire des milliers de mots pour être un grand poète :


Sur son compte, Elsa, la fille de Georges Wolinski, publie ceci:
"Ma sœur, a retrouvé cette phrase écrite par Wolinski, dans l’un de ses carnets de croquis.
Je dis Wolinski. Je pense Georges. Je devrais écrire papa. Mais, je n’y arrive pas. C’est un mot que j’ai enlevé de mon vocabulaire. Quand je l’entends, ça me rappelle quelque chose de doux. Natacha, ma sœur est comme une exploratrice dans les carnets de famille. Cette phrase, Wolinski l’a surement écrite en pensant à Maryse. Un dialogue interne de pensées, il avait dans ses carnets. Moi, je lui disais souvent: « Tu ne m’écoutes pas. Mais je retrouvais mes mots dans ses dessins.
J’aime beaucoup cette phrase retrouvée, j’avais envie de la partager avec vous."

magicalkingdoms dot com may be unaffiliated with disney, yet they prominently use the disney brand, and disney is known to aggressively pursue copyright infringement. the site is still up.

Folie des starter packs : les dessinateurs ripostent.


Alors que des milliers de ces images envahissent ad nauseam les réseaux sociaux, des dessinateurs et illustrateurs (Patouret, Jade La Chine, Pénélope, Uvaat, Roxane Damidot…) proposent leur alternative, le starter pack garanti sans AI, dessiné à la main. Pour rappel, si une requête de recherche sue l’IA consomme 10 fois plus d’électricité qu’avec un moteur de recherche classique, le gaspillage en eau et en électricité s’envole avec cette nouvelle mode : créer 2 starter packs consomme autant d’énergie que le chargement d’un smartphone.

Kanada steckt angeblich hinter dem Zölle-Rückzieher von Trump.

Kanada hat, wie viele andere Länder, einen Haufen Geld in US-Staatsanleihen investiert. Als Trump mit seinen Zöllen herumfuchtelte, haben sie sich mit EU-Ländern getroffen und gemeinsam hinter verschlossenen Türen vereinbart, besagte Staatsanleihen langsam aber deutlich auf den Markt zu werfen. Nicht alle auf einmal, das ist nicht unser Stil.

Aber genug auf einmal, damit der Markt sieht, dass es mehr Angebot als Nachfrage gibt, und das keine so sichere Investition ist, wie es immer heißt.

Oh, Japan hat auch mitgemacht. Die sitzen alleine auf einer Billion Dollar in Schatzbriefen. Die EU hat 1,5 Billionen, Kanada 350 Milliarden. Das läppert sich.

I don't know how I got added to the AI snake oil working group, but by golly I'm having fun.

Free tip for AI snake oil merchants: if you're struggling to answer a simple technical query and somebody seemingly helpfully suggests to use your software to resolve it, this is what we call "a trap".

Under no circumstances allow your software to pull down its pants and expose itself in front of everybody. Especially if the helpful person was smiling when they suggested it.

in reply to Dreadnought Holiday

Similarly, if the person who has been grinning through your twenty minute pitch about how AI is transformational for sales because of its ability to identify and understand potential customers you've never heard of asks "did you use your product to research us?"...

There's no good answer here, because you know who else has a big smile on their face? Sharks. And there's about to be blood in the water.

"...because that's really not relevant to this company or our model."

Oops. There it is.

in reply to Dreadnought Holiday

I didn't think I'd ever see the Simpsons "you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two" meme in real life until Mr Snake Oil asked our annual legal spend.

We gave him a suitably large figure. His little eyes lit up. Finally - real imaginary savings to be made!

We then gently pointed out we were a law firm. When we engage legal professionals it's because *we can't fucking do it ourselves* and the regulators would be mightily pissed off if we tried. And we pass the fee on.

in reply to Dreadnought Holiday

And for the love of God under no circumstances say "let's use our AI to create a business plan for implementing AI".

A) it's incredibly presumptuous
B) you've forgotten there are at least two finance people on the call who have shot everything down so far and deeply resent being told AI can do their job better than they can
C) holy fuck but can it not do this job better than they can
D) the two finance people have somehow made your net benefit a negative number. How the fuck did that happen?

"This assumes an improvement of 1%."
"That's far too low. What would it be if it were 5%?"
"Oh, great! That would really deliver a benefit!"
<excited keyboard tapping noises>
<everybody sees the number change>
<awkward silence>

"Well that three thousand pounds of extra income is certainly going to be transformational..."

Reader, I had to turn my camera off so I could laugh properly. Be cruel not to.

Elon Musk a perdu la moitié de sa fortune depuis qu'il a rejoint l'équipe de Trump.
Il a également perdu le respect et l’appréciation des gens à son égard.
Aujourd'hui, la situation de musk est très mauvaise et personne n'achète ses voitures
Les tarifs douaniers nuisent beaucoup à ses entreprises.

Trump l'abandonne : j'aime Musk, mais je n'ai pas besoin de lui
Masque comme ses voitures, je les aime mais je n'en ai pas besoin !!

In 2008, 14-year-old Taylor Wilson accomplished something extraordinary in his garage - he built a working nuclear fusion reactor. While billion-dollar labs struggled with fusion technology, this teenager created a small but functioning fusion device using vacuum pumps and determination.
The reactor wasn't a power plant, but rather an inertial electrostatic confinement device that successfully produced plasma and neutrons. This made Wilson the youngest person in history to achieve nuclear fusion.
His achievement caught the attention of the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy. They supported his later work developing radiation detection technology, which earned him top honors at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
The original fusion reactor was later relocated to the University of Nevada, Reno, where it continued to advance scientific research. Taylor's early breakthrough helped launch his career as a nuclear scientist and inventor.

My cats are usually pretty mellow, BUT they are indoor cats because my last died from feline leukemia virus and I didn't want to risk a repeat, so after seven years indoors my Siamese kitty escaped, and she was out for a week but finally came close enough for me to grab her but she was enjoying her time outside killing things and did not want to come in so a normal docile cat turned into a ball of flying claws resembling the old cartoons. I dropped her on my foot, resulting in a laceration, followed by an infection, a week in the hospital and five weeks at home on IV antibiotics, so yea.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🧵 Comment la Chine a mis fin à la guerre tarifaire avec l’Amérique… avec un calme mortel ! 👇

1.
Pas de conférences, pas de menaces, pas de spectacle.
Une seule déclaration de Pékin :
Nous augmentons les tarifs douaniers sur les produits américains à 125 %.
C'est la dernière modification.
Quoi qu elle fasse l’Amérique, ne répondra plus.
