Auch im DLF wird die rechtsaußen-Vokabel 'Gendersprache' inzwischen ohne Einordnung benutzt.
"Immer wieder wird in Deutschland zum Teil kontrovers über die Gendersprache diskutiert."
Die deutsche Grammatik macht es unmöglich, nicht zu gendern. (Die.. Grammatik..)
Gemeint ist etwas anderes: Die Anpassung der deutschen Sprache an die Realität, dass in weiten Teilen der Gesellschaft angekommen ist, dass Männer nicht die Norm sind.
Der Kulturstaatsminister hat leider keine Ahnung von Kultur (dazu gehört auch die permanente Veränderung jeder Sprache durch die, die sie benutzen), sondern nur von Kulturkampf. Aber dass die Medien, speziell die mit Bildungsauftrag, da mitmachen, ist leider schon ziemlich abgründiger Trumpismus.

It's really outline this slop for me so I don't have to waste my time writing boilerplate so I can focus on BS framework/library details I normally don't give a shit about. Basically feed it a lot of nibbles instead of wasting time writing the perfect prompt for it to create a program for you that will turn out to be garbage anyway.
I'm reminded of when UML was hyped & Rational's $10k tools would write all the boilerplate & guts for you from it. Never really panned out.

Claim of Responsibility for Arson of Cop’s Vehicle in Elliniko, Greece
At dawn on 25/7 we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorcycle in the area of Elliniko. As a result, it suffered significant damage and was forced to repair it. This move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed garbage at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds in equipment and human resources, as well as privileges for them. This is done in an attempt by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space. So it uses the cops as protectors of the politically and economically powerful, securing their interests. In the same strategy, it militarizes repression and control, tightens the laws and the penal code. At the same time, it displaces those who are left over and sterilizes the city center and public spaces (parks, squares, universities, etc.), evacuates squats and takes more security forces to protect goods, tourism, construction, and in general the gentrification and investment plans at the expense of the poor and persecuted.
With this move we want to remind in every direction that for us no cop can sleep peacefully and everyone has a responsibility from the moment they consciously decide to support the state and sovereignty with their work.
We dedicate this action to the memory of the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris
We send incendiary signals of solidarity to the anarchist comrades Marianna and Dimitra who are being prosecuted for the same case
Anger and rage over the vengeful treatment of Maja T., who is in the hellish cells of the Hungarian state due to their anti-fascist activity
I got a new found respect for the danish. Apparently they have no qualms about feeding their pets to predators. A zoo asked for donations and apparently it's not a problem, but revealed a 'culture issue' in at least the United States. There was such an insane reaction the Zoo had to mute its social media page. LOL. I am definitely on the side of 'it's how the world goes round' and this comes off to me as this delusional fantasy land so many people live in today. I get it is a pet... but come on. If only people were this upset about like actual people being murdered and caged by their governments.
There's been a lot of stories of people who go totally delusional after chatting with ChatGPT or another AI long enough. Lots of stories of men wanting to leave their wives for AI LLM girlfriends or the like. Most of this is around the fact that over time, an LLM conversation will agree with you, no matter how crazy you sound. "Yes, you can time travel. You're a genius!"
I have to admit, I changed my use of ChatGPT when I realized it was saying I was a generational transcendent all the time.
One major thing is I touch grass more than most, so that helps.
Another thing is that I tell it specifically: "ChatGPT has a tendency to be overly charitable so try to correct for that" and that tends to bring the needle back somewhat, as well as continuous prompting to "keep your feet nailed to the floor" and adding similar things in the personalization options.
A third thing is to constantly delete your chats and restart. ChatGPT has a tendency to fall down the rabbit hole with you as chats get longer and longer, so starting from scratch will often get it to reset to more normal ideals. You'll notice that many stories like "ChatGPT became my girlfriend" involve chats that have been ongoing for weeks or months.
One thing to keep in mind is that ChatGPT only has a recall of about 20,000 words anyway, so if you've been in a long conversation it doesn't remember what you said anyway -- not in a "oh yeah I forgot about that" way like humans, but in a "that information never existed on earth" sort of way like a hard drive deleting old files once it gets too full.
@zer0unplanned The game originated in ancient Rome and spread from there to Europe. There are reports that it was played in England in the 18th century under the name teetotum, as it is still called today in English. (It is also known as "Put and Take").
Can’t find it now, but someone clarified my thinking on generative AI by saying it’s about the number of choices going into a creative work Even a fine-tuned prompt involves orders of magnitude fewer choices vs writing a short story, painting a little picture, etc etc The choices are the creativity
(This is largely why AI coding doesn’t work for me. I don’t deal with lots of “boilerplate” or bolted-together components, it’s all about making an idea work somehow via thousands of decisions & experiments, finding patterns, tweaking numbers, there’s no shortcut without losing the good stuff)
Once you view creativity as choices, it really does put the tech & its role in perspective. What tools help us make more/better choices, rather than blandly filling in huge gaps? How do we get people to appreciate the creative process rather than try to bypass it?

In short, GPL uses copyright law to protect you, as an author of software, from exploitation better than MIT or BSD software licenses do. Here we have a case of the Anthropic corporation using MIT-licensed code in one of their software products, which is of course a for-profit product. The original author of that code received no compensation, as it is not required by the license. So the author applied for a job at Anthropic, and ironically, Anthropic responded with an AI-generated rejection letter. Corporations like Anthropic seem to have an allergy to GPL-licensed code however, due to the nature of how the GPL license grants much more specific rights and restrictions, both to the authors of the code, and the companies who use it.
Of course, nowadays LLMs can ingest GPL and MIT/BSD licensed code and spit it back out in altered form, essentially letting the makers of the LLM profit from your work without compensating you, so the GPL is probably due for an “upgrade” to prevent use for AI training. Unfortunately thanks to regulatory capture, and not-so-impartial courts of law mostly ignoring copyright law nowadays, it might not even be possible to use GPL or copyright to protect authors of software anymore. Probably a whole new legal framework is required first, and I don’t think this will be happening any time soon.
Corpos already steal copyrighted text & code with LLMs, they don't care about the license at all.
BSD isn't to protect my code from ever being used by a corpo, which I know can't be stopped. It's to make it convenient for other people to use. I care about the teams of ONE or TWO who want something.
I can't use GPL shit, unless I make everything GPL. Or AGPL. Or v2 or v3. Or LGPL. Can I link to the proprietary library I need? NOPE. #bsdlicense #bsd #mit #mitlicense #gpl

@mdhughes that’s right, but I think you know that this is a feature of GPL, not a bug. The goal is to create an ecosystem of software that can’t be used to exploit people because nothing in the ecosystem can ever be proprietary.
Whether GPL is successful at that goal is another story, of course. It used to be pretty good at keeping the corporations away, but in the age of LLMs that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
Readline being under GPL doesn't stop some giant predator, it just annoys the little guy who wants text history without having to rewrite a giant awful curses thing. RMS is the predator here (as in other things).
And it's not new that GPL is useless, the whole v2/v3 thing was because Tivo realized they didn't have to ship their source if you can't compile & run it.
@mdhughes As the little guy (two-person not for profit), it doesn’t annoy me at all. Because I have no issues with releasing my code under A/GPL.
It must only annoy those who want to profit from the code without similarly giving back. And large corporations who see liberal open source licenses as another means of privitasing the commons.
The most common complaint I see is “why can’t I take this freely available code and use it in my proprietary system?” Umm, well, that’s by design.
@aral I don't see any reason to be so selfish. If I'm releasing something, I want people to use it, not go "well, now I'm stuck".
This is so obvious it's redundant to even have to say: CORPOS DO NOT CARE about your license. If they want to steal your stuff, they will. They just won't tell you. They'll edit the license. Or use LLM to "vibe code" it into their thing. In the incredibly unlikely case you even know, and sue, they'll crush you before reaching court.
It’s saying “if you take from the commons, give back to the commons.” It’s protecting the same freedom you benefited from.
It does mean that you can’t something someone has shared freely, add it to your proprietary system, and keep any value you add on top to yourself. Which is what, I’d argue, is actually selfish.
Also, yes, trillion-dollar corporations are too big to police and steal at their whim. That doesn’t make it right.
@aral If, tomorrow, Microsoft copies TinyBasicWeb, I'd be annoyed because there's MS next to my stuff, but I still have my code, and so do you, and so does everyone else. It's BSD because it's a *gift*, it's a cool thing I made, not because I will RULE THE WORLD with a Tiny BASIC that can just barely play Hurkle.
Oh yeah, I’ve heard of Microsoft TinyBasicWeb, it was on that TV ad last night. I heard they spent millions making it really great. All my friends are using it. I might just buy myself a license too. There are some privacy issues and stuff but it looks really cool. Thanks, Microsoft! 😀
@aral Right. I don't care if they do. It's no skin off my nose. I'll keep releasing the real thing, on my ridiculous little Cyberhole, and if people figure that out they can get it for free.
Gmail is, of course, closed source, but… it's built on a ton of GPL software. There's probably not a line in it that's not lawsuit-worthy, but nobody's going to do that. You'd have to break into G, get the source, then find a lawyer, then another when he inexplicably blows up, and another…
@mdhughes I don’t really buy the “CORPOS DO NOT CARE about your license” argument because I don’t see how it is relevant to the discussion. It’s kind of like saying there is not point in having laws if people are going to break them anyway. Why even use MIT or BSD licenses then?
I think with the software license the intention of the author is important. GPL was an attempt at having a legally enforceable declaration that the author intended for the software to always and forever be in the commons.
I concede that the GPL is probably inadequate nowadays. There are alternatives though, one that I have been thinking about lately is the Anti-Capitalist Software License, though of course there is probably no way that the license is enforceable.

Yesterday we discussed AI usage in our Team. We agree it can be used for small tasks which can be described in a concise prompt and do some repetitive work for small but time consuming things.
Other than that code completion is either annoyingly not helpful, where most disable the feature or ignore it. Complex tasks fail for stupid reasons like using wrong frameworks or framework versions. Experiments showed that it was not possible to create a little bit more complex app meeting our requirements. It did not even compile.
@Vash Yeah, I even try to embrace it. But it fails for even basic stuff. For example: "help me setup storybook for my vue project" leads into a bad dead end with code suitable for Vue 2 and old versions of storybook. In the end, RTFM in the first place would have been better.
@Vash Yeah I also tried but I feel like it doesn't help me coding properly. I often don't see the Errors it makes or if I do it are ones that Beginners tent to do so I cannot rely on it at all.
As in be so precise with your prompts so as not to leave any room for ambiguity? I guess we could try reducing our use of language to core logical constructs with clearly-defined and well-understood relationships between inputs and outputs to create a predictable and reproducible system. We could call it, oh, I don’t know, programming or something?
Dear EU commission, as you may have noticed bowing to Trump didn't work and instead emboldened him to double-down on his bullying.

Genocide denial is considered the final stage of the genocidal process. If you’re denying Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, you are literally complicit in genocide and part of the genocidal process. And history is taking notes.
