It is absolutely a choice.

3x this year, people (strangers) have come up to me and said "you know who you look like, right?" -- they mean the actor Matthew Lillard.
Well - Tarantino just gave us (me and Matthew) a bad review, and I must say, I'm not that pleased!

(S+) Blackfacing: Problematische Fotos bei einer Veranstaltung am Schauspielhaus Hamburg Es sollte ein Feier-Abend werden. Am Ende waren viele verstört: Anlässlich seines 125-jährigen Jubiläums erinnerte das Schauspielhaus Hamburg an alte Inszenierungen und zeigte dabei Aufnahmen von Blac...

"Blackfacing" is not a word... neither is "home office" or "handy". The only problem is: clearly, they are words... just not in British or American English.

Dieser Satz ist sehr wiederverwendbar, gerade als zweiter Satz in der Unterzeile von der online-Version einer Zeitung:

"Wer jetzt glaubt, damit sei schon alles gesagt, irrt gewaltig."

Das passt überall, oder? @zeit.de 📰

the OP sounds false

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

igel (selbstbild) ich bin die bergziege der böschungen, tollkühn und zugleich grazil überwinde ich jedes hindernis

igel (fremdbild): fällt aus dem busch, kullert auf den weg, stößt beim weghasten noch einen rechen um

English got it from French and maintained it as a noun, with the ending that it came with. German, OTOH, got it from French but *corrected the grammar*, since -um is obviously better than -a, but it was only ever used as a noun in German too. German re-invented the story of the borrowing.

Ukrainekrieg / Nach Alaska-Gipfel kein Ende in Sicht: So schätzt ChatGPT die Zukunft der Ukraine ein

Und wie geht es nun mit Russland und der Ukraine weiter? Die „Berliner Zeitung“ weiß, wer es wirklich weiß: ChatGPT. Klar, weil die KI „über mehr Informationen verfügt als alle internationalen Experten zusammen und sich somit vermutlich ein umfassenderes Bild machen kann.“ 🤷‍♂️

a colorful visual alphabet labeled AI Ethica Alphabet, with letters, icons, and brief explanations. Examples include: B is for Bias with "Consent: AI can reflect and amplify unfair prejudices"; G is for Governancs with "Governance: Rules and oversight for safe i deployment"; G is for Governance with "Justice: injured indegeend If train ing snhzenic data repeordity"; P is for Regulation with "Oversight: Humans must se-powy important AI tasks"; R is for Regulation with "Guality Data: Good data prevents poor or biased outputs"

There's a trend going around TikTok to have ChatGPT create visual alphabets (because the output is always full of ridiculous mistakes). I generated this one to use an example to help explain WHY AI image generators make these kinds of mistakes. It turned out even better/worse than expected.

I say between 10 and 20 because it depends on things like the variety of English in question and whether we're counting only monophthongs.

Einladung: Talkrunde mit Matthias Kreienbrink (24.6.) Scham – wenige Gefühle sind menschlicher. Matthias Kreienbrink hat ein sehr lesenswertes Buch geschrieben über dieses machtvolle Gefühl, das wir alle gut kennen.

DM if you are still looking for it ☺️

You do realize you're quoting a quote of me back to me, right?

Oh yes it struck me when I first started teaching in the US. 15 yrs ago. And I still notice it. Somebody once said that “they get it from high school” which is no explanation. I can only say that it is certainly a thing!!

Hail Mary/merry/marry

New York Times news photo caption wrongly quotes the phrase by which a new pope is announced.

Y’all let’s not forget about the accusative ending, mmkay? “Habemus papa” is D- material, @nytimes.com

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it?
