Not great results from the exit polls in Germany. Not enough seats for anything but a “grand” coalition, which is no longer grand, and this only if FDP really doesn’t make it into parliament and that’s not clear yet.

I will say two things here on German elections tonight: 1) 84% turnout - highest since reunification - shows that Germans do care about democracy and elections. 2) @helenebismarck.bsky.social is right.

US army fellow told us FIN reservists a nasty joke. The ghost of Gen. Patton comes to SHAPE and wakes SACEUR: "Are we still allied to Russkies like 1945 when I died?" "Oh yes" "Hell, didnt expect that to last. What are we doing with them?" "Trying to get Nazis back to power in Germany."

Big AI steps taken at NY Times. But also clear no go’s, like 1) AI to draft or significantly revise an article, 2) input third party copyrighted materials, 3) use AI to circumvent a paywall, 4) publish machine-generated images or videos, only with proper labeling www.semafor.com/article/02/1...

This is a lesson in the value of litigation (which @chrisgeidner.bsky.social laid out). One of the FIRST lawsuits filed against OPM (by @nationalsecuritylaw.org) argued that OPM had not done the proper Privacy Impact Asssessment. So they did this. Now it'll fuck up the exploitation of this email.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

There’s no evidence that Dan Caine will not be an effective chairman of the joint chiefs relative to his peers, but it is certainly saying something to the services that we are replacing a highly qualified black man with a white man who literally lacks the command qualifications for the job.
