Spannend, mit Smartphone und „My Ride“ ÖV zu fahren. Doch was, wenn das Netz oder die Standortbestimmung zu schwach ist, das Handy defekt, verloren oder gestohlen ist oder ohne Stromanschluss der Akku leer wird? 🤔 www.tagesanzeiger.ch/verwirrung-u... #reqeng

Nach Verwirrung um Halbtax-Abschaffung: So soll das neue Tarifsystem im Schweizer ÖV aussehen

Sofort wegfallen soll das beliebte Abo nicht. Trotzdem tüftelt die ÖV-Branche an einer Ticket-Revolution. Die wichtigsten Fragen und Antworten zu den Neuerungen.

Danke für die tolle FemalITy-Konferenz mit inspirierender Keynote von @sgenner.bsky.social 👏. War auch spannend, Vertreter einer sehr kleinen Minderheit zu sein: man nimmt die Gruppe und sich selber ganz anders wahr. Übrigens, es gibt Evidenz, dass ich ein ✈️ landen kann. femality.ch

Not only does AI amplify human bias, but also humans amplify AI bias: 👿 Humans become more biased when interacting with biased AI 👼Humans become more accurate when interacting with accurate AI 🔄 Be wary of feedback between the two www.nature.com/articles/s41...
