Wow, is that better or worse than a president making up tariffs with Grok AI? And police force experimenting with these predictive policing technology and contracting with Palantir? Probably fits with the military, as war is often not very humane to begin with... But all of this aligns in a very dystopian way.

Tja. Schade, dass die schönen einfachen Zahlen die ich so gefunden habe komplett nichtssagend sind. Letztlich scheint da auch noch viel mehr reinzuspielen. Ein Stream von einem südamerikanischen Nutzer oder jemand aus Indien ist viel weniger wert als wenn die Hörerinnen aus Europa oder Amerika kommen... Neben dem werbefinanzierten Stream hätte ich gedacht, das Studierendenabonnements, Probe-Abos, Familienaccounts irgendwie vom Plattformbetreiber gegenfinanziert werden. Aber dem ist nicht so, die reichen das weiter und die Künster kriegen dann halt einen anderen Deal. Also irgendwie wird hier so halb über die Gesamtzahl der Streams abgerechnet, aber wenn es um Standort, Art des Abonnements und so geht, ist es auf einmal nicht Anteilig über Alle. Aber individuell abrechnen geht dann auch wieder nicht...
Alles ist ziemlich intransparent und außer Spotify haben die auch wild unterschiedliche Unternehmensformen die nicht unbedingt Geschäftsergebnisse präsentieren müssen... Infos über die Mathematik hinter den Auszahlungen suche ich auch vergebens. Klar. Irgendwie wird alles von den Großen beeinflusst. Und ein doch schon erheblicher Wandel von Musik kaufen hin zu abonnieren bedeutet nicht unbedingt, dass sich irgendetwas an den etablierten Machtstrukturen oder Geldflüssen ändert, außer dass hier noch jemand 30% vom Kuchen abbekommt und dafür vielleicht einen tollen Dienst mit viel Nutzen anbietet, und/oder Gewinn scheffelt...
Ich hab versucht die Youtube-Videos von Künstern zu schauen um deren Perspektive zu erfahren. Aber meist sind das auch eher Videos die die gängigen Zahlen wiederholen die überall stehen. Wirklich spannende Details erfährt man dort nicht.
Es scheint auch so zu sein, dass es bei Tidal bergab geht seit dem die irgendwann mal mehrheitlich aufgekauft worden sind, mit allem was so dazu gehört, Mitarbeiter entlassen, Integrationen für manche Smart-TVs eingestellt... Sie haben auch ein, zwei vernünftige Entscheidungen getroffen. Ich bezweifel irgendwie, dass die die höheren Auszahlungen per Stream (was immer das dann bedeutet) irgendwie aus Venture-Kapital finanzieren. Die haben sowieso nur einen winzigen Marktanteil und dazu gehören sie inzwischen mehrheitlich einer Firma die ihr Geld lieber in Bitcoin und sowas steckt, und Tidal wird eher profitabel gespart, sicherlich nicht groß investiert... Also wird das wahrscheinlich an unterschiedlicher Nutzerschaft oder anderen Faktoren liegen. Beziehungsweise daran, dass diese unterkomplexen Zahlen sowieso überhaupt nichts aussagen.
Always a breeze once I go to a music festival or bigger event and there's all the diversity with the German language. I think there are many places like that. And even in the larger metropolitan areas you can tell the difference between Cologne, Düsseldorf and the Ruhrgebiet and the people slightly to the east or north of it. At least where they grew up because all of it mixes in the cities and people will also commute 1h to work. So I think it happens in villages, cities and everywhere. It's not entirely the same, though. Seems to be more nuance here than proper dialect, but people from 3 cities away will occasionally tell me on how my grammar has some funny peculiarities.
I've heard they have government-approved VPN providers. And companies there use VPNs for their job. They'll also do business on platforms which are blocked on the regular Chinese internet. Of course business is guided by the communist party so you might have someone keeping an eye on your company VPN (mis)use. People who went there told me they're more lenient with foreigners. Your European/American company's corporate VPN might work well, you might also experience connections being dropped and the Great Firewall messing with it. And there are some attempts at circumventing blockage, like TOR's Snowflake, though all of this is a cat and mouse game, some (illegal) thing works for a while and then they shut it down and you'll move to the next one. Though as a citizen of an oppressive regime you'd better think twice before engaging in a cat and mouse game with authorities.
I think the more modern LLMs are tuned to be particularly bad at this. I think they're designed to engage with people on a personal level. And then they like to explain and repeat stuff. At least I get that a lot and they'll apologize or praise me and generally add a lot of drivel before and after everything. I'll try this suggestion. Not sure about the side-effects.
I think a headless browser runs somewhere in the background without an interface. Used to automate stuff. A browser in the terminal will have an interface, the terminal text interface. And you'll be reading the website, not take screenshots or scrape or test websites automatically.
I think there's more low quality than just the basic print with all the wrinkles and creases in it. For once the head is "painted" realistically, the shirt is a slightly different style and then the hands and legs are yet another style. There's some obvious AI artifacts and it didn't fool people, seems they were able to tell.
And then with real art there's some layers to it. It'd have a deeper meaning, tell us something about the people depicted, or society at times or how they'd like to portray it. Or there's an entire interesting story about the artist, what kind of struggles they had... At least it'd invoke some astonishment in somebody. And I don't think there's any of that with this picture. That's just the "empty plate" in-your-face meaning. Some children don't have food. But doesn't seem to me, the picture in itself tells more to the audience, or makes them think about what the statement might be, wonder what it's trying to express, or make them question anything. And that'd be what turns art into art.
At least that's my take on the definition of quality in art. I mean people put a bathtub out there along with some butter and it's art. Or paint a canvas black and be done with it. On the other hand I can take a visually appealing photo of me with my smartphone and it wouldn't be art. So in this case I don't think quality is concerned with the visual aspect of it in the first place.
Could be performance art. But people did that before. Sneak into a museum and put something up. So it's not an original idea.
"The work isn't about disruption. It's about participation without permission," he said.
And I think the "without permission" holds true on several levels. I mean on the one hand they just put it up. And doing it with AI adds another level on top. I mean the AI companies are known for not asking for permission when they train their generative AI models. But I don't see this being discussed in the article. It'd probably be the only thing turning this into some form of art. An AI picture in itself certainly isn't art. Also like how the paper is wrinkled and it doesn't look good at all and "empty plate" is just a shallow in your face meaning and even I can tell how there isn't any art or deeper meaning to it. And most people I know who are close to art, and they're musicians or properly draw stuff as a hobby aren't really pro AI, I don't think I've ever seen them use AI or mix it into their works.
Maybe performance art?

Uh. Wäre mal interessant den Wortlaut von diesem "Recht auf Respekt" (respektret) zu lesen, beziehungsweise das Urteil mit Begründung.
Edit: Denke vielleicht ist das hier (Dänische Wikipedia) gemeint?
Yeah really unfortunate. They have these disinformation campaigns and try to empower the nastiest politicians to destabilize our society. Then they spy on other politicians, there's cyberattacks, they burn down our DHL logistics facilities, sabotage natural gas reserves and do whatever they can do. There was something with marine ships and we're still not sure about a plethora of things. For example who occasionally cuts those glass fibre cables to sabotage the trains and then all commuters can't get to work. They spread terror and all of this is in fact effective. And then of course Putin wages war and forces us to spend a large pile of money on the military, weapon systems and all the nasty stuff and I always like to believe there's better things to invest in than death machinery. But hey.
