Los mismos que te dicen que el fútbol no se mete en política. Apolíticos de derechas por lo que se ve.

Lo del bloqueo de La Liga es demencial. Ni se cargan las imágenes de los mails por culpa de ello.

A mí, personalmente, me resbala porque sé como saltármelo, pero el abuso es aberrante.

Uno podría pensar que la incapacidad de distinguir un texto creado con IA sería fruto del perfeccionamiento de los propios LLM.

Que los motores de reconocimiento de textos IA based simplemente marcasen cualquier texto como IA “para vender más” es una cosa que no esperaba.

Imagínate tener el poder de Rosalía y sacar una canción que se titule Palestina. Aunque sea instrumental.

To benefit AI companies, EU officials sacrifice privacy rules, planing far-reaching changes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Pushback to follow.

Draft proposals obtained by POLITICO show EU is breaking sacred privacy regime to placate industry.

Buenísimo esto de Mahmood Mamdani (el padre de Zohran) sobre cómo el FBI le dió a conocer a Marx.
www.warscapes.com/conversation...

BS: How was that? How long were you in jail?

MM: One night. They let you make one phone call, and I called the Ugandan Ambassador in Washington, DC, talked to him, and he said, “What are you doing interfering in the affairs of a foreign country?” I said, “What? We just got our independence! This is the same struggle. Have you forgotten?” Anyway, he got me out. Two or three weeks later, I was in my room. There was a knock at the door. Two gentlemen in trench coats and hats said, “FBI.” I thought, “Wow, just like on television.” They sat down. They were there to find out why I had gone – because this turned out to be big – it is after Montgomery that King organized his march on Selma. They wanted to know who had influenced me. After one hour of probing, the guy said, “Do you like Marx?”

I said, “I haven’t met him.”

Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”

“Wow, what happened?”

“No, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?”

“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”

I said, “Sounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

BS: The FBI.

MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But, basically, it is the US – the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement – which gave me a new take on my own experience, and on the Asian experience in east Africa. It gave me a way of rethinking my own experience of growing up in east Africa and growing up in an Africa with a lens crafted by the civil rights movement.

Disco de vinilo sobre fondo verde.
Portada con fondo rojo. Aparece Alfredo Landa vestido de Drácula con el título en rojo superpuesto con una tipografía de los años 60.
El disco tiene logos antiguos y una pegatina con el precio que indica que se ha vendido de segunda mano.

Maybe we should stop calling them “smart” beds.

Monday’s AWS outage caused bedroom chaos as owners of Eight Sleep’s $2,000+ Pod mattress covers found their smart beds had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures and odd positions in the night.
