Die Verbraucherzentralen schlagen vor, dass #9EuroTicket ab September beizubehalten und für 29 Euro zu verkaufen.
Sicher ist: Den Riesen-Fortschritt eines EINHEITLICHEN, für alle bezahlbaren Tickets darf nicht wieder zürückgedreht werden! Dafür muss es JETZT eine große gesellschaftliche Bewegung geben.

Anyone freaked out by the sensationalist headlines about Google's language models becoming sentient should read up on the "Chinese Letterbox" thought experiment.
When this thought experiment was first contrived it was basically fiction, the idea that you could make a statistical model of language so complete that it could fool a real person was farcical. The author(s) only intended to raise a question and prove a point.
Well, surprise! Language is highly statistical, perhaps it has to be to permit us to learn it so quickly (per Chomsky, maybe?). And it turns out we can make models that can mimic, with creepy cogency, human speech patterns, even to the point of appearing to chew over a complex thought.
But in the end they're just statistical models re-hashing the word-sense-orders of their training corpuses.
Corpuses that include AI-themed scifi books and film transcripts, philosophy textbooks, and breathless singularity-themed blogs.

Just found a paper that claimed an algorithm to find all primes of the form 4k±1 where k ∈ ℕ.
It was only one page. The algorithm amounted to "successively plug every positive integer into k, compute 4k±1, check if it's prime and discard those that aren't.".
😐
"Have you tried brute force?" is... a tad underwhelming. I'm surprised somebody bothered to write it down.
"Have you heard, they've found out magic is real!"
"I heard."
"Anyone can learn, it's all logical, like programming."
"Yeah."
"Aren't you excited?"
"I'm a programmer. I wouldn't trust any programmer with magic."
"Hang on..."
*gzirp*
"Here."
"Coffee? You conjured coffee? Show me!"

Elon Musk, Sexual Assault
The journalist tweeted they reached out for comment about this on Wednesday morning and the tweet with "attacks will increase" came Wednesday at noon... 🤔
To quote Randall Munroe, correlation doesn't imply causation but it does suggestively wiggle its eyebrows and mouths "look over there! 👀".
Elon Musk, Sexual Assault
Remember how Musk has been howling about "the woke mind virus" and how he's "under attack" in the last few days?
