True story.

Was mich in Sachen #ChatGPT langsam wirklich besorgt: Kaum jemand scheint wirklich zu verstehen, dass es sich um einen ChatBot handelt, der die Wahrscheinlichkeit berechnet, nach der Wort B nach Wort A kommt. Es ist kein Lexikon, es hat kein inhärentes Wissen, es ist "nur" darauf trainiert, sich möglichst natürlich zu unterhalten. Aber vor allem Medien erzählen das Märchen einer Wissensmaschine, die alle Fragen beantworten kann. Nein. ChatGPT erfindet Fakten & Quellen, wenn es nicht weiter weiß.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should always be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.

It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

Wenn wir die Erdscheibe einfach umdrehen, erhalten wir jene kühle Seite, die vom Klimawandel noch völlig unberührt ist. Problem gelöst.

Ich werde das jetzt in Schwurblerkreisen verbreiten. Das wird lustig.

You may have already heard that the Klingspor Museum in Offenbach is building a digital archive of materials about Gebr. Klingspor’s typeface. On Fontstand News, this archive’s architects explain how it all came about.

In the richly-illustrated article, Leonie Martin and Laura Brunner (turbo type) explain their project’s background, process, and where this is all going to lead: https://fontstand.com/news/essays/a-digital-visit-to-offenbach/

Twitter killt die freie API und damit viele spannende Projekte.
