If this was in Bavaria I would have called the police if I saw someone eating a fresh pretzel with Nutella. I jest, this was a succinctly nice post to read about something that I take for granted all my life. There is a certain warmth and f

And as a German I get really infuriated about von der Leyen torpedoing these efforts over a personal vendetta, like the conservative she is: https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/wolf-... &

I subjectively disagree from observation. Change in viewpoints, lifestyle or behavior become exceedingly rare the older people get. Also, the youth is always incapable, stupid and wrong. It's so much of a phenomenon that I wouldn'

This wisdom was already the topic of cartoons, books and movies 30+ years ago. If you attach 'Elon Musk' to a quote it immediately becomes relevant to some gullible people, it's truly amazing. To add some good mood, I stole a

There are definitely reasons to fear the reaper. When we go return to where we came from before our birth it simply means the absence of consciousness. In this universe, you can either be conscious or not. There is something mysterious and

They absolutely do. I have friends working as private sector IT consultants with federal agencies as one of their clients. These projects lock them into idiotic bureaucratic processes and extensive internal politics (more than in private se

Yea, it's uncanney valley, sure. For now. With Stable Diffusion and similar generative systems we have seen a leap in generative art/media, partially with significant improvements within a few months. What makes you think this was

What about malicious entities that will simply not do this and publish ChatGPT without any such safety measures? It's happening with Stable Diffusion. The tech-cat is absolutely out of the box now.

The real person ID will make the "real person" liable to whatever the bot says and does though. I know US Americans have a bit more relaxed setups when it comes to free speech but that doesn't absolve anyone of actual consequ

The number of vegetarians/vegans in Germany is strongly increasing [1]. The reasons vary and range from the horrific and inexcusable environmental impact of mass meat production to simple ethics. I personally have been convinced by my

The issue is that 60%+ of all crops are for animal feed.

Environmental impact has been mentioned a few times but personally (!) I have reduced (not yet eliminated) my meat consumption mostly due to the fact that my short term unnecessary enjoyment is not justified in the face of the insane cruelt

The same concern can be voiced for 16 or 20 year old women and men. All of them can be abducted with ease by 2+ trained people. Should they also be accompanied by their moms at all times? The cop just demosntrated himself that he isnt doing

Yes, but Europe chose to ignore the 2014 invasion to keep the cheap fossil fuels running and to prevent any major escalation with a nuclear power over a mere peninsula. The hope also was 'Handel durch Wandel' - 'Change throug

With brand new IRIS-T deployed near Kyiv good luck flying any hostile military plane over that city ever again. That's probably also why they move to Iranian kamikaze drones.

By now, I think you can safely drop the assumption that we are dealing with a rational actor. Also those around Putin have been put into place for decades. He's been scheming at least since his KGB job in East Germany (GDR) where he is
