"Today you hear people talking about 'AN #AI' or 'THE AI.' Even 15 years ago we would not have heard this; we just heard 'AI.'"
@AlisonGopnik on the history of thought on the #intelligence (or lack thereof) of #simulacra, linked to the convincing foolery of "double-talk artists":
"We should think about these large #AI models as cultural technologies: tools that allow one generation of humans to learn from another & do this repeatedly over a long period of time. What are some examples?"

@AlisonGopnik suggests a continuity between #GPT3 & language itself:

Kurzer Abgleich mit der #Lebensrealität zum #Themenkomplex #Wohnungsnot im Jahr 2022:

Leider sind die #Wohnbaugenossenschaften mehrheitlich laengst dem neoliberalen Paradigma angepasst worden.

Sie priorisieren #Renditemaximierung & nicht mehr den #Menschen / #Mieter
Es gibt natürlich neue Gründungen von #Wohnbaugenossenschaften aber dies nur innerhalb einer bestimmten soziooekonomischen Schicht von #Gesellschaft

Gerade die untere #Mittelschicht oder das #Prekariat der Kreativen hat nicht diese Option.

#Pluralismus
E. Ursache in der komplex verzahnten #Fragestellung des Wohnens ist der fehlende #Aspekt von #Pluralismus in der #Perspektive der #Stadtplanung:

Wenn lediglich oekonomisch Privilegierte auf das Thema #Wohnen blicken,
bleibt punktuelle #Dysfunktionalitaet unerkannt.

#Klassismus

Don’t imitate and copy people mindlessly as a shortcut. Use your uniqueness to evolve, copying is easy and shallow. Have faith in your uniqueness and evolve. The weak find easy ways out, the strong grow through challenges.
It’s amazing to learn from others, we all do. We learn from others but be aware of people who copy and imitate mindlessly. Stealing people’s work and ideas as a short cut because they can’t do it on their own.
This will always happen but always know there are all kinds of people out there, and the strong will grow through failure and difficulty and the weak will blatantly copy and have a short term success.
