Remember, this is part of a broader trend and development, viz. #peakfascism https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/2fc2f9c615c71279a7e0f363de49054be52f9d9ce4dc868baa6037faaa4cbd23/view -

Nice monologue by RM.
It's pretty much for such reasons as stated by RM that Hungary voted out Orbán and his kleptocratic clan in the elections, even so much that Péter Magyar's Tisza party got a super majority of two third of all seats in parliament. -

I never would have thought one could laugh that hard just by looking in the mirror.

Alexa MacKie, "Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says" https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canadians-support-becoming-member-european-union-nanos-poll/
Economic integration and common values are good reasons for Canada to join the EU. But what is strangely missing in these discussions is the benefit of the mutual defense obligation of the Treaty on EU (1992), Art. 42.7., which is important for Canada and the EU should NATO break apart.
(The mutual defense obligation as stated in the Treaty on EU, Art. 42.7, is stronger than Art. 5 of the NATO treaty. The first obligates every EU member state to assist with military mean wheras the second allows NATO member states to decide individually what to contribute.)In conversation from web permalink Attachments

Sally Jenkins, "The Man Who Broke Physics" https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/03/ilia-malinin-olympic-figure-skating/685766/
I'm really not into sports journalism or figure skating. But Sally Jenkins writes with such grace that I couldn't stop reading. Take the opening paragraph—or perhaps only the first sentence.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

♪ Frédéric Chopin, "Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 66" (Daniil Trifonow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OkgZT1UxJ0
I'm glad that despite the cultural boycott of Russian musicians in Germany due to the war this concert took place. Daniil Trifonow is incredible. His play so gentle, dynamic, precise.

I really don't want to know to what dangerous levels the U.S. hubris will increase should this insane operation succeed. And on the other hand: What is the alternative?In conversation from web permalink Attachments

When people speak of Artificial Intelligence, what they really mean is Artificial Self, the artifice of soul. Intelligence is not self. Self is not intelligence.
I would go so far as to say that self is not intelligent, and does not require intelligence. We as humans have difficulty separating intelligence from self. Our machine automatons do not require self, we simply want to impose it on them. Just as we wish to claim the simulacrum of self for our “selves.
I wrote the above in 2015. #AI

To me Wikipedia is an awful encyclopedia. But I would never belittle the decades-old self-financed social experiment this project has been. It is like the many communes and projects of the alternative movement of a bygone era. Interestingly, it belongs to a pre-digital, analog world. In conversation from web permalink -

The struggle of the Wikipedia community to deal with the use of #AI / LLM mirrors the struggle of the techbros with the idea that people have a right to a decent living in security, prosperity, and dignity. For both groups, it's about the very foundations of their self-image and their beliefs. In conversation from web permalink -

The struggles of the "community" in Wikipedia about #AI illustrates nicely that it is not AI that is the problem but the insecurity arising with the changing role of humans in online exchanges. The question is not "What is AI and what can it do?" but "Who are we and what is left for us?" In conversation from web permalink -

The urge to ban #AI from Wikipedia feels like the "community" wants a "space" without AI. What strange racism (or perhaps rather: Species-ism) is that? What strange gated community. No AI trespassing beyond this line. Only pure humanoids allowed. Gee! In conversation from web permalink -

Already in 2012 I wrote why Wikipedia is an obsolete way of organising encyclopedic information—and that individually tailored question-answer queries (like today's Grok) will be the next step:
