Yet another #GoodNews that I had missed recently. #EU stops destroying stockpiles of unsold clothing.
What a no-brainer. I had thought this malpractice was already forbidden, which apparently wasn't the case. Great news!

@smoltron@syvyys.top @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net If I read this here correctly, then the retraction must have been very recently. Between September 2025 and now.

Seems like #GaryMarcus is changing his tone: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-biggest-advance-in-ai-since-the
Well, I disagree with his take on #ClaudeCode being #neurosymbolic and that it "changes everything". An if clause in the #LLM orchestration or harness does not make a neurosymbolic #AI
Zooming out a bit though, I think he starts seeing coding assistants in a more positive light.
Super interesting analysis of how a population of #Chimpanzees gradually decomposes into two distinct social groups that eventually wage #CivilWar against each other.
Isolation, polarization, border patrols and lethal aggression emerge along the way. All feels eerily similar to us #humans.
"Enterprise-grade": what a misnomer!
Yeah, if you can't go for #Mars, go to the #moon instead 🌝

"Als Dankeschön erhalten Sie eine kostenlose Ausgabe von ZEIT Verbrechen" 🤔 🙃
Sollte dann ja sehr bald wohl besser "ZEIT Ordnungswidrigkeit" heissen.
@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place Yeah, fully agree! I know people proudly see it as a "you are the algorithm" kind of thing, but it probably messes things just up.
I have no experience with other social media platforms (apart from a short attempt at BlueSky), my best guess is that other platforms feel somehow slower in how they target content at their users. Mastodon should be slower too, not like an uncontrollable avalanche of content! Do not mean to inherit the downsides of the commercial platforms of course.
Just seen on #amazon that some children's books are now advertised with a "without AI" tag. For me that indeed qualifies as a valid selling point these days.
The #Netherlands is the first #European country to approve #Tesla Full Self Driving Supervised.
Dutch authorities found that the assistance system makes a "positive contribution to safety" but is "NOT autonomous or self-driving".
