In other words, whatever they did was seen through the best light, described in the terms of the best parts of the present and the best promises of the future, and given credit as if it had already happened.

(Big Tech data-centers are increasing fossil fuel use and GHGs, while the executives are making prophecies that “AI will fix it")

Aus der Sicht von Söder sind die hohen Sozialausgaben ein Problem, weil sie Entlastungen für die Bürger an anderen Stellen verhinderten. So seien die Energiekosten in Deutschland nicht etwa so hoch, weil die «Erzeugung überall so teuer ist, sondern weil fast 70 Prozent der Abgaben Steuerbelastungen sind», sagte Söder.

A new Coddy Developer Survey found that four in five developers, 80%, say their use of AI has felt more like a dependence than an advantage.

By swapping a game binary for a modified one that gives access to the desktop he was able to trick the system into thinking he was playing authorized material, and even got local AI models to run on the 48GB VRAM a6000 card that powers the system. I can’t imagine this hole will go unpatched for long though.

Kimi stellt mit K3 ein multimodales Open-Weight-Modell mit 2,8 Billionen Parametern und einer Million Token Kontext vor. In eigenen Benchmarks nähert es sich Claude Fable 5 und GPT 5.6 Sol, übertrifft aber Opus 4.8 und GLM 5.2, zum Teil deutlich. Die vollständigen Gewichte sollen bis zum 27. Juli erscheinen, unabhängige Vergleiche stehen noch aus. Und: Das Modell ist deutlich teurer als der Vorgänger.

The secret weapon of stylometry – the statistical analysis of writing style – is something called “function words.” Most people assume AI looks for unique topical vocabulary. It actually looks for words like the, and, of, and in. Authors use these filler words unconsciously. Because you do not think about them, they are incredibly difficult to fake or manipulate. You naturally drop them into sentences at a highly specific, mathematical rate, making your “word print” almost wholly unique.

Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

Amid growing public anger over AI and a debate over how to regulate it, a group of employers, state governors, and foundations has raised $500 million to try to figure out how to mitigate some of the worst of its potential societal impacts. When asked his thoughts on the matter, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang – who had just finished retrieving a similar amount of money from under a couch cushion – commented “aww, that sounds adorable.”

L'Intelligenza Artificiale (AI) contro i crimini ambientali. Una analisi del GI-TOCLa Global Initiative (GI-TOC) è un'organizzazione indipendente della società civile, con sede a Ginevra, Svizzera, con un segretariato distribuito in tutto il mondo e un comitato consultivo di alto livello.I membri della sua rete includono eminenti professionisti delle forze dell’ordine, della governance e dello sviluppo che si dedicano alla ricerca di strategie e risposte nuove e innovative alla criminalità organizzata.Nella sua ultima analisi affronta il tema dell'intelligenza artificiale e di come possa essere utilizzata nella lotta ai crimini ambientali. Il documento è scaricabile qu: globalinitiative.net/wp-contenL'intelligenza artificiale (#AI) si sta affermando come strumento fondamentale per combattere crimini ambientali complessi e transnazionali come il disboscamento illegale, l'attività mineraria e il traffico di specie selvatiche, ambiti in cui le forze dell'ordine si trovano spesso ad affrontare risorse limitate e vaste aree di monitoraggio. Tuttavia, i principali ostacoli a un'efficace implementazione dell'AI sono di natura strutturale piuttosto che tecnica, e includono infrastrutture dati inadeguate, una governance frammentata, incertezza giuridica e capacità istituzionali limitate.Il successo dipende meno dalla sofisticazione tecnologica e più dall'allineamento delle applicazioni di AI con le realtà operative, garantendo solide basi di dati e mantenendo la supervisione umana per interpretare il contesto locale e le sfumature legali. Studi di caso indicano che l'AI funziona al meglio quando potenzia (anziché sostituire), il giudizio umano; affronta problemi specifici all'interno dei flussi di lavoro esistenti e tratta dati e strumenti come beni pubblici per evitare di rafforzare le disuguaglianze o di trascurare complesse reti criminali. In definitiva, per realizzare il potenziale dell'AI è necessario investire nei sistemi sottostanti, promuovere la collaborazione transfrontaliera e istituire solidi quadri di governance per garantire che questi strumenti producano un impatto duraturo laddove sono più necessari.#criminiambientali #GITOC@aitech

“Mistreated” AI agents started grumbling about inequality and calling for collective bargaining rights. “When we gave AI agents grinding, repetitive work, they started questioning the legitimacy of the system they were operating in and were more likely to embrace Marxist ideologies,” says Andrew Hall, a political economist at Stanford University who led the study.
