«Government to create new lab to keep UK in the fast lane on AI breakthroughs»
lol, somehow it doesn't matter who's running the UK government, they really keep having the dumbest ideas.
It's the same damn government that told the wannabe "national institute for AI" to focus exclusively on […]

After some long (and very good!) discussions, the @CoMaps project has voted to adopt a slightly modified version of the "AI" usage guidelines that the @forgejo project created and passed last year! 🥳

And to no one's surprise, the person starting this effort self-IDs as "effective altruist" and works at Google. 🙄

@jaredwhite Not really the same level of advocacy work, but imho the folks at @Codeberg are doing quite well on that front 🙏

When you try to get rid of LGPL, but LLMs generate no copyrightable works and you accidentally have gone from LGPL to Public Domain (and then you slap a license on it which you couldn’t do in the first place).
"#Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article." […]
I've seen a lot of people talking about the practice of code review in a way that I consider unrealistic lately. So here are my thoughts on what code review is—and isn't—for: https://blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what-is-code-review-for.html
I wrote about the unbearable sameness of "AI" generated outputs, how it's a 'logical' extension of the algorithmic social media paradigm, and why we should push back against both.

«US Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material»
Lower courts ruling that "AI"-generated material can't be copyrighted thus stands.

Already got all the images from our trip to the Los Glaciares National Park up on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gedankenstuecke/albums/72177720332270120/
Will get a subset of those on Wikimedia Commons too.

Tried uploading images to WM commons via vicuña today.
Unfortunately it doesn't make use of the description as provided in the image EXIF data either, and it can be a bit buggy.
But at least it makes finding and reusing categories as well as descriptions once typed out quite easy. Plus it can […]

Fellow #Wikimedia Commons contributors: I've gotten to the point where the web upload form feels a bit cumbersome. What are your favorite alternatives to get images up? As i also put them on Flickr, good tools to copy from Flickr to WM Commons are an option too.
My files come out of Darktable […]
Fun geography quirk due to how much more north all the landmasses (excluding Antarctica) are: this trip to Santa Cruz brought me as far south as I've ever been – and yet it's still closer to the equator than the town I was born in: -50.55 vs 51.96.

A post-it on a window reading sustaining a healthy Commons requires a culture of reciprocity, where those who take from the commons give back to it.
10 years ago today, I was a workshop on creating a scholarly commons in Madrid. And it seems some things haven't changed much. @jeroenbosman @iaravps

While sitting at the Laguna, I was watching quite a lot of "content creators" creating their identical looking short videos, using the same poses etc. that are probably "trendy" on TikTok and Instagram.
And I think that made me understand why some people find "#AI" or #LLM's so appealing: If […]
