„Aber entweder ist das Polizeigesetz verfassungswidrig oder nicht. Das hat ja dann letztlich mit der Klage der Grünen nichts zu tun, oder?“ Söder: „Doch. Wenn es keine Klage der Grünen gibt, dann gibt es auch sozusagen keine Diskussion vor dem Gericht.“ Ein Rechtsstaatsverständnis direkt aus der autoritären Hölle.

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.” it was called project panama. here's exactly what happened: 1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.” 2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy. it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.” 3: that piracy created a massive legal risk. so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.” 4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs. those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers. 5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months. 6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them. a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling. 7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data. the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're

Ach guck: Ich hab mir nach Jahrzehnten mal wieder eine persönliche Website gebaut: tim-bartel.de Und dazu, etwas anachronistisch, ein Blog. :-D Grundsätzlich ist die Idee, dort in Zukunft über Themen zu schreiben, die mich beschäftigen: Self-Hosting, AI, Netzpolitik...

„Wenn jetzt umgekehrt das Wahlergebnis anders gewesen wäre und die CDU mit Manuel Hagel 13 Stimmen Vorsprung gehabt hätte – und man hätte diesen Vorschlag gemacht –, dann würde ich gern mal wissen, was Jens Spahn dazu gesagt hätte.“ Voigt: „Ich glaube, so einfach ist es nicht.“

@davey_juice @PeterSweden7 As the top foreign nationalities in Brussels by percentages are from France, Romania, and Italy - I somehow doubt that they're very much interested in building an Islamic caliphate... but hey, YMMV.

Well, it wasn’t easy, but Trump did it. He ended the several hundred year friendship between the US and Canada — our neighbor and closest ally. Isolationism is a dumb idea, but going out of your way to get countries around the world to actually hate us is even stupider.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens. A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....

The left face appears whitish and the right one blackish, but they are the same luminance. 左の顔は白く見え、右の顔は黒く見えるが、同じ輝度である。左の画像は80%の等黒色画像であり、右の画像は20%の等白色画像である。等黒色画像では、無彩色が一番明るくなる（知覚としては白となる）。等白色画像では、無彩色が一番暗くなる（知覚としては黒となる）。

So, here it is. Can the IWM *really* claim © on Crown Copyright images etc where copyright has long expired? Surely these images should be out of copyright & free to use, right? Right? /1 #History #Heritage #Museums

They stole something for you. For decades, they stole it. That thing they stole? Your entire culture. For all of human history, works created in living memory entered the public domain every year. 40 years ago, that stopped. 1/
