I’m incredibly proud of my very niche humor pun.

Who called it “intellectual property problems around the acquisition of training data for Large Language Models” and not Grand Theft Autocorrect?

Aus diesem geleakten Bundeswehrtelefonat, das Russland mitgeschnitten haben will, habe ich gelernt, dass Offiziere ganz schön viel Denglisch benutzen. „Es gibt in diesem Environment kein easy planning.“

Aufgeweckt durch Trecker-Hupen. So hatte ich mir das Großstadtleben nicht vorgestellt.

I really like the recently published Ethical Principles of the W3C. They sum up a lot of what the Web should be:

"The web should empower an equitable, informed and interconnected society. It has been, and should continue to be, designed to enable communication and knowledge-sharing for everyone. In order for the web to continue to be beneficial to society, we need to consider the ethical implications of our work when we build web technologies, applications, and sites."

Meine Fresse, fängt der Crypto-Scam jetzt auch hier an?

The rest of the world watching US politicians getting huffy because a social network platform might answer to some foreign government.

I wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.

Was ist das denn plötzlich für ein Wetter?

Sherlock Holmes will finally escape copyright this weekend
