@anneapplebaum.bsky.social wait, Musk is now spreading Putin's propaganda against Ukraine?!? I don't understand, why would he do this?
@Karolina det som behövs är att fler engagerar sig i politiska partier. Om inget av de existerande partierna duger, starta i så fall ett nytt!
Tyvärr verkar trenden gå åt andra hållet, fler och fler lutar sig tillbaka och har inget annat att säga än att "politikerna" är dåliga och ska skärpa sig. Jag tror att demokrati inte kan fungera om för många har den attityden. Om demokratin ska överleva är det helt nödvändigt att fler engagerar sig politiskt.
@history what year was this?
@xianc78 @Mr_NutterButter @bonifartius it's interesting how both sides feel they are under attack.
I guess this issue started with politically "right-wing" folks deciding that they want to make abortion illegal. When they fail at that they instead resort to shouting at people outside abortion clinics under pretext of "praying".
Then a "buffer zone" thing is added to try to protect those who need to have an abortion.
Then right-wing folks think that's an attack on *them* and their churches? 🙃
@xianc78 aha, seems like it's about this then: https://www.gov.scot/publications/abortion-services-safe-access-zones/
It says "any public areas within 200 metres of the boundary of the grounds (if there are any, or from the premises if not)"
It's entirely possible that those rules are stupid, but anyway they are rules about public areas and not about restricting what anyone does in their own home.
@xianc78 I'm not in Scotland but another part of Europe but I think I can anyway safely confirm that what you heard is bullshit. The place where you found that must have a really twisted view of Europe.
Of course people do what they want in their own home, many are religious and then of course they pray if they feel like it.
Why would anyone want to make that illegal anyway?
(There can maybe be laws around what religious things are allowed in schools, I don't know how that is in Scotland.)

Stop saying “artificial intelligence”. (And “neural networks” too.)
Be more specific. Say “reinforcement learning”. Say “generative modelling”. Say “Bayesian filtering”. Say “statistical prediction”.
These are incredibly useful tools that have nothing to do with “intelligence”.
And say “model trained on plagiarised data”.
Say “bullshit generator”.
Say “internet regurgitator”.
These are also nothing to do with intelligence, but they have the added bonus of being useless, too.

@nopatience yes of course there should be ways to do it properly.
For example an org like BBC in this case could publish pubkeys for all their journalists, then each time a journalist publishes something the journalist signs it and whoever wants to quote that can do so in a way that allows readers (clients) to cryptographically check that the quote is indeed a verbatim quote from the claimed source, checking the signature and verifying the quoted text. That could be mostly automated I guess.
@nopatience I guess that in the "AI-assisted" future there will no longer be any such thing as a quote, nobody will know anything about who said what. Instead everything will just be a blur, more or less random streams of auto-generated text and images floating around. 🤢
@kushal "den vandrande vålnaden"? 😄
