It must be fun when you just make up what the other person said and call them names over that. You homophobe.

Those are all directly and heavily influenced by all regimes in general, aside from the one-child policy which might be regarded as an authoritiarian policy. Shit economy making people not want kids works the same both in democracies and in authoritarian countries (in fact, the latter might even dampen the negative psychological effects upon the population through propaganda).

Ehh, the character of the regime doesn’t seem to affect birth rates a whole lot. Brutal dictatorships that make China seem like a gentle puppy could have perfectly ok birth rates. E.g. Nazi Germany had 2.5 fertility rate in 1939 and 1940, it was their highest since 1922: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Germany

I really don’t think the average Chinese cares too much about how authoritarian their govt is when it comes to deciding on whether to have kids. The consequences of one-child policy, economic prospects, stability, general cultural optimism/pessimism, social habits (and the effects of technology on them), etc. are all likely to be much more important factors.

LG’s recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.

Sure is ironic that the article summary is itself AI-generated.

Pretty sure it was Scottish English. Does anyone outside of super rural places actively use Scots anyway?

Idk, I recently heard some thick Scottish English and I couldn’t understand literally anything. That might be in part due to the fact that I’m not a native speaker, but still I believe people outside the British isles would struggle with it.

Some of the uniformity is a result of cultural domination of specific centres and now unavoidable loss of original dialectal variation.

And the privacy policy states data may be used “To create aggregated, de-identified and/or anonymized data, which we may use and share with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve the Kohler Health Platform and our other products and services, to promote our business, and to train our AI and machine learning models.”

They’re literally using people’s shitting and pissing to train AI.

But isn’t AI already shitty enough by itself??

Changed it, a bit long now but I guess it’s ok?

Day 259 of Trump’s 24-hour peace deal: nuclear tests are resuming.

He also gave the example of a German Wiki community member who wrote a program to verify the ISBN numbers of books cited, and was able to trace notable mistakes to one person. That person ultimately confessed they had used ChatGPT to find citations for text references and the LLM “just very happily makes up books for you,” Wales said.

Well this won’t be a problem with Grokipedia, because it only uses sources that are available online as pure text (I’m pretty sure not even PDFs are used by it).

Wales thinks the public and the media often give Wikipedia too much credit. In its early days, he says, the site was never as bad as the jokes made about it. But now, he says, “We are not as good as they think we are. Of course, we are a lot better than we used to be, but there is still so much work to do.”

Amen, it’s nice to see the level-headedness.

If you click on them, many images on Wikipedia will lead you to their parent page on Commons (click “view on Commons”). Ideally, that’s where all non-copyrighted WP files are placed (unlike those that are under copyright, which limits in how many places they can be used).

Literally the only wiki-based media repository out there.

There’s also monoskop.org (although unlike Wikimedia Commons it doesn’t seem to care about copyright law too much).

Ukraine can help him solving that problem.

This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

I used to be easily distracted during online lectures yet had little difficulty following live lectures. It’s a fundamentally different experience, for whatever reason.

Also, the attention span has to be trained. And training it by working without a distracting computer sounds like a good idea.

It’s been moved to the archive but is linked on top of the talk page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=1310806574#Including_the_video / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Killing_of_Charlie_Kirk/Archive_2#Including_the_video

Looks like they’ve decided against inclusion. It’s also unlikely the video meets “fair use” standards so they’d have to delete it anyway…

They had a whole edit war about whether it should be included and locked the article.

Reminds me of how after WW2 people stopped calling their kids Adolf or even changed their name Adolf into something else. I mean, I’m not saying Zuckerberg is literally Hitler or something, but it sure is funnily similar.

Ah, finally – multipolar world order.
