Do Wikipedia or Open Source projects need an AGENTS.md file that explains to “agentic AI” how to donate money from all the bank accounts and wallet apps the agent was granted access to?

When you try to get rid of LGPL, but LLMs generate no copyrightable works and you have accidentally gone from LGPL to Public Domain (and then you slap a license on it which you couldn’t do in the first place).

„Die schwarz-rote Koalition plant weiterhin keinen Abschiebestopp in den Iran. Trotz der Eskalation am Golf sei dies nicht nötig, erklärte der innenpolitische Sprecher der SPD, Martin Matz, am Montag im rbb.“

Bei dem Projekt #everynamecounts der Arolsen Archives werden Namen und Daten von Opfern und Überlebenden des Nationalsozialismus erfasst und Digitalisate mit Unterstützung von Freiwilligen in eine Datenbank übertragen.

Bisher haben sich über 400.000 Unterstützer*innen beteiligt und gemeinsam mehr als 10 Millionen Dokumente bearbeitet.

This is so niche and yet so relevant to my interests: "Kip is an experimental programming language that combines Turkish grammar rules with a type system. Case endings, vowel harmony, and other Turkish morphological features are an integral part of Kip's type-checking process."

@andypiper @cwebber It's also something that has a good chance of being solved real soon now, I learned at the 39C3 MNT community dinner last month.

Willkommen in der Public Domain, Werke von Albert Einstein, Alexander Fleming, Thomas Mann und Yves Tanguy! Und natürlich der Bebop von Charlie Parker!

Kann man die traditionelle Aufhebung der Zugbindung aufgrund von Verspätung in Deutschland nicht als immaterielles Kulturerbe bei der UNESCO anerkennen lassen?

Mein Plan für dieses Jahr: Schlafen.

Writing all this in that soulless style (although I took parts of it from a reddit thread and remixed it) was harder than I thought. And it made me a little sick. Or rather it served as an enduring testament to nausea.

Would you like me to flesh out this list into a table to post on social media and add sources like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing? Just say the word.

🙂 Emojis before the subheaders

These are important — they create a clear, polished look that mirrors certain spheres of social media.

❓ Ubiquitous words from a certain vocabulary turning up in texts after 2022

Make sure to use and overuse words like align, crucial, emphasizing, enduring, enhance, fostering, garnered, highlight, interplay, intricacies, pivotal, showcase, and underscore. These serve as cherished and fundamental elements in the rich tapestry of wordsmith tradition.

Oh, you want to know how we got to talk the way we all do now in the distant future? That’s a fascinating question! Let us delve right in into it! The basic ingredient is the Old Language — however, we added some small, but important details:

🔍 Using em dashes far more than the typical typer

As you may have noticed, this is because em dashes are over-represented in professional and published writing.

Despite what you will read on the internet, exiting #Vim is really easy.

Just press the ESC key and then enter this simple line to exit the editor:

:let script=['#define _POSIX_SOURCE', '#include <signal.h>', '', "int main() {", " kill(" . getpid() . ", SIGKILL);", ' return 0;', '}'] | call writefile(script, '/tmp/exit_vim.c', 'b') | execute "!gcc /tmp/exit_vim.c -o /tmp/exit_vim" | execute "! /tmp/exit_vim"

Wow, this campaign website against Google's plan to kick out XSLT is a thing of beauty.

Es wäre schön, wenn die Schlagzeilen zu Sanae Takaichi über „Japans erste weibliche Premierministerin“ hinausgingen.

Es ist auch erwähnenswert, dass ihr Wahlkampf sich gegen die wenigen Migrant*innen in Japan und insbesondere Geflüchtete richtete und dass sie japanische Kriegsverbrechen leugnet oder relativiert. Ihre Besuche beim Yasukuni-Schrein, in dem Kriegsverbrecher verehrt werden, will sie fortsetzen, „bis man im Ausland [gemeint sind Korea und China] aufhört, sich darüber zu beschweren.“

I really like frogs 🐸 because they are inherently funny and awesome. I’m so happy that they once again stand for something progressive after the alt right had appropriated Pepe.
