Next week Friday the 23rd I will be a guest lecturer at Twente University. I graduated there in Public Administration, but I will present in the course of Advanced Networking https://www.dacs.utwente.nl/courses/anet-2026/

Every time I prompt an #AI system I add ‘please’. Like: ‘I want to understand this error message, can you explain it please?’

I have no idea why I do that, the LLM doesn’t bloody care and it seems yet another token or two to burn.

Nobody knows if the this vulnerability was used to attack only certain "French" supermarkets of different supermarket chains. Why stick to only French supermarkets if you can control the fridges around the world. It could well have been an inside job at a specific "French" supplier.

Today both the largest Dutch supermarket chain (Albert Hein) and the largest French supermarket chains (Intermarche and Cooperative U) got hit by cybersecurity attacks.

Interestingly, since Ukraine took out a bunch of Yandex data centers in Russia, people are reporting much less pro-Trump and AfD social media activity.

So US is threatening to hold back arms that Europe has already paid for? I am sure this will be great promotion for the US arms industry...

Looking at Anthropic promotional efforts to stop being mean with Claude because it might be sentient. Cui bono? This is a machine. A spying machine: each prompt is memorized, probably used for reinforcement learning. Imagine if million of hackers started deliberately being mean with it. Would it evolve just like Microsoft's Tay Chatbot, start spouting insane insults, have to be stopped?

"But what has Donald solved? Well, fuck all really. In exchange for throwing Ukraine under tank, helping Russia fund the killing of some more Ukrainian kids and destroying the reputation of the USA as a reliable partner, Donald has obtained about as much diesel as the USA uses in a day."

The Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022 Section 3 requires the president to certify to Congress that:

Russia has reached an agreement to withdraw its forces and end hostilities, accepted by Ukraine's independent government.

Russia poses no immediate military threat of aggression to any NATO member.

Russia recognizes Ukrainians' right to freely choose their own government.

Mooi werk van NRC - een eigen fediverse instance.

Best een stap voor een (media) bedrijf. Je kan de aandacht niet meer sturen en er is geen centrale plek waar ‘impressies’ en andere marketing metrics worden bijgehouden.

Maar goed, het gaat er uiteindelijk om dat u de krant leest. Even klikken dus.
