Schlimmer noch München: Nachdem der Stadtrat schon recht früh, nämlich anlässlich des EOL von Windows NT 4, die Umstellung auf freie Software beschlossen hatte und die mehrere Jahre dauernde Migration schließlich erfolgreich abgeschlossen war, gab es einen Regierungswechsel und eine der ersten Amtshandlungen von SPD-OB Reiter und der CSU war die RÜCKKEHR in die Microsoft-Abhängigkeit für viele Mio. EUR.
Eine rein politisch-ideologische Entscheidung unter Lobby-Hörigkeit!
#bullshit

Diese Abhängigkeit von Microsoft ist ein Armutszeugnis. Seit mindestens über einem Jahrzehnt warnen Experten – doch Ignoranz, Profitgier oder blanke Inkompetenz verhindern jede Einsicht. Wer Verantwortung trägt, entscheidet sich bewusst fürs Weitermachen. Das ist fahrlässig und beschämend.

KI wird überall aufgezwungen, sinnlos und unaufhaltsam! Kontrolle weg, Abschalten unmöglich. Die »Zukunft«? Ich will sie nicht – aber niemand fragt!

In other words, Generative AI and LLMs lack a sound epistemology and that's very problematic...:

"Bullshit and generative AI are not the same. They are similar, however, in the sense that both mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult or impossible to distinguish which is which. ChatGPT has been designed to sound convincing, whether right or wrong. As such, current AI is more about rhetoric and persuasiveness than about truth. Current AI is therefore closer to bullshit than it is to truth. This is a problem because it means that AI will produce faulty and ignorant results, even if unintentionally.
(...)
Judging by the available evidence, current AI – which is generative AI based on large language models – entails artificial ignorance more than artificial intelligence. That needs to change for AI to become a trusted and effective tool in science, technology, policy, and management. AI needs criteria for what truth is and what gets to count as truth. It is not enough to sound right, like current AI does. You need to be right. And to be right, you need to know the truth about things, like AI does not. This is a core problem with today's AI: it is surprisingly bad at distinguishing between truth and untruth – exactly like bullshit – producing artificial ignorance as much as artificial intelligence with little ability to discriminate between the two.
(...)
Nevertheless, the perhaps most fundamental question we can ask of AI is that if it succeeds in getting better than humans, as already happens in some areas, like playing AlphaZero, would that represent the advancement of knowledge, even when humans do not understand how the AI works, which is typical? Or would it represent knowledge receding from humans? If the latter, is that desirable and can we afford it?"

KI ist bald überall! Im Betriebssystem, im Browser – bald im Toaster? Endlich ein Algorithmus, der mir sagt, wann mein Brot knusprig genug ist! Währenddessen entscheiden Chatbots über Kredite, Jobs und vielleicht bald über meine Laune. Klingt super, oder? Diese absurde Ausbreitung geht mir gewaltig auf die Nerven.

@GottaLaff " . . . threats . . . from Greenland and the Panama Canal." is the last thing I expected to hear about today. Also, the most unrealistic.

Kommentar zur Schwarz-Roten #Digitalpolitik: #Bullshit-Bingo reloaded

"Statt echter Digitalpolitik segelt Deutschland mit Schwarz-Rot weiter durch die Bullshit-Bingo-Republik der #Reallabor- #Leuchttürme. Nach der Ampel ist das allerdings irgendwie konsequent.

Ob #Bundestrojaner, #Vorratsdatenspeicherung, Ausweitung der #Funkzellenabfrage: Alle Varianten von #Überwachung...

Auf die drängendsten..."

I only watched the first 30 minutes (it's 2 hours and 50 minutes long!!!), but that is enough to share it. Please don't bother me if there's something wrong at 1h31!

10-15 years ago I already warned people about this upcoming #conspiracy bullshit that went beyond JFK, ufo's and 9/11. Formerly left wing people (like two of my neighbours) started to believe in chemtrails, Reptilian overlords, elite pedo rings, and the complete Q-anon franchise. Most of the time mixed with new-age 'spirituality'. A dangerous combination that gained to much power in this short period of time. They will probably call this in 100 years the start of a new world religion that started the Second Middle-ages.

Dear Workgroup Facilitator,

It was exceedingly difficult to get four hours blocked out from meeting conflicts for two months straight so that this mandated activity would have my undivided attention.

In what world would anyone conceive that sending a reschedule notification to a different weekday and time into already scheduled meetings' times would be acceptable?

In what world would anyone conceive doing so four minutes prior to the scheduled start would be a good look?

Do better.

XOXO,
Me

It's time to call out Apartheid Elon's disinformation by its true name: BULLSHIT. We're not engaged in an Oxford style debate and we do need to grab attention.
AOC, Bernie, and the others should not shy away from this word and others like it.

It's amazing who buys into the antimask antivax conspiracy #bullshit and who doesn't, obviously #science never was a strong point to some.

@godpod

DEI initiatives were all #performative #bullshit anyway. Really heavy on crafting a public image, with plenty of internal and external #propaganda and #marketing. #Target is not interested in actually supporting marginalized communities, just increasing profits.

The annual #pride stuff was the epitome of it. They only sold Pride goods in June but never year round. When right wingers put pressure on them for it, they folded like empty soda cans in a 24 ton hydraulic press.
