Oh, a proper introduction ... 🤔

Meet the gang: Brenda (right) & Brian. My boy is very food-motivated & knows all the tricks. My girl is, well, typically girlish they say. Idk, she´s just not a sucker for cuddles like her sometimes pesky bro. And yes, I talk to them.

click below ⬇️ to read the full thread and learn, why using AWS (Amazon Web Services) isn´t just "rent a server"
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Ich lebe in einer Stadt mit rund 375k Einwohner und es haben am Wochenende nur 2 (zwei) Apotheken Notdienst.

Zudem: Rezepte von Notärzten gibt es nur auf Papier.

Man muss also das Rezept zur Apotheke bringen um es einzulösen und die Medikamente zu bekommen. Wenn man kann.

Another day when the assimilation of the internet into a tiny number of hands becomes obvious. AWS (Amazon web services) goes down and takes half the internet with it!

Ich bin verzweifelt.
Ich weiß, dass wir nicht verzweifeln dürfen.
Wie kann es sein, dass wir angesichts dessen, dass wir überall in der Welt beobachten können, was passiert, wenn das Wesentliche aus dem Blick gerät?
Wenn wir uns selbst vergessen, weil wir uns im anderen nicht mehr erkennen wollen.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Well, that could work with my boy Brian 🤔 Brenda? Not sure about it.

Anyway, that gave me the laugh I needed this #Caturday

Crazy how we're possibly the last generations which will associate photorealistic visuals with 'evidence' - I wonder what new kinds of evidence-making this will trigger, maybe a revival of stunt journalism centred around the 'trustworthy' witness? How will photos even fit into post-slop 'realism'?
This is both fascinating & frightening. There is a demand for images that show and confirm what people already know and believe to be true, and AI slop meets that demand—with visual content that emblematically visualizes what the headlines report. One could call it synthetic hypervisualization

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

🌟 Shortlisted for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction 🌟 Remember You Will Die traces the lives of artists, activists, scientists, and more as they intersect with the existence of a yearning AI. Eden Robins weaves a polyphonic narrative that is intergenerational, art-filled, and subversive.

Context is truly everything. Recording this in your basement? Yeah. Cute. Recording it as you sing it in their faces?

Gorgeous.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/
