Niin totta. Liika "tehokkuus" tekee journalismista antijournalismia:
"Suuri osa journalismista alkaa nykyään niin, että vastaus on jo tiedossa. Toimituksessa päätetään, mikä juttu on, siihen etsitään sopivat haastateltavat, ja kuvaajalle kerrotaan, millainen kuva tarvitaan."

The roar of fighter jets often rolls across the sky above the clouds. The pilots over the Kyiv region must be working themselves to exhaustion right now.
It’s worth once again thanking the nations that generously provided Ukraine with fighter jets, they are saving lives and our future in peace.

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

U.S. AI company Anthropic has disabled all access to its latest AI model, Fable, after the American government ordered it to suspend access for all non-U.S. users.
Anthropic suspends access to latest AI models following US order
“The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance,” Anthropic said in a statement Friday evening.

Kissakuvia ja kauppalappuja – pilvipalvelujen dark data syö yhä enemmän resursseja
Kun kovalevy tai pilvipalvelu täyttyy, ei hätää. Tilaa voi aina ostaa lisää, ja datakeskuksia nousee ympäri Suomen niemeä. Sillä on kuitenkin hintansa.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

"Nice car you have there, would be shame if something happened to it", is the vibe I get from this reminder.
But let's ignore the fact that they are asking customers of 80k€ cars to pay for a SW subscription, and let's pay attention to the fact that this doesn't even tell me what the service does.

Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves.
Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled.
Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
