1.5 billion to authors and publishers sounds like a lot, but it isn't. It's 3000 per plaintiff to be made redundant (potentially) and it firmly establishes that training on copyrighted materials is fair use. Just don't download torrents with 1000s of books for this purpose.

🖥️ GOOGLE Kronstorf. Wir fordern eine transparente Gesamtprüfung aller Risiken! 🖥️
In Oberösterreich entsteht eines der größten Google-Rechenzentren Europas. Die Auswirkungen auf Grundwasser, die Enns und die regionale Stromversorgung sind jedoch noch nicht ausreichend geklärt.

Interesting story about the use of AI writing on Chinese webnovel platforms.

Come to think if it, it's something of a social miracle that open BitTorrent trackers and the file-sharing community still exist.
Not only have they been subject to long-term, well-resourced and targeted repression, but they also require a large number of people continuously contributing time and resources without a direct return.
While I can see how trackers try to make money, seeders are a different story.

We live in a moment of highly subsidized #AI. Even expensive subscriptions generate significant losses for the providers.
Many people think this will lead to a collapse of the industry once the inflow of speculative capital stops.
I think something else will happen. The costs for powerful models will rise significantly, to the point where they are available primarily to corporate users.
Most others will be left with cheap models, which are more of a distraction than an actual tool.
This will contribute to even greater social inequality, far from any claims of "democratizing" whatever.

Oh, Sci-Hub has now an AI interface that queries and references its huge repository of scientific articles and provides access to the full source papers. I think this is the logical next step in access to large archives.
"Hear the good news: recent advances in artificial intelligence enabled Sci-Hub to launch a robot that gives scientifically-grounded responses to questions. The robot starts with searching for relevant literature in Sci-Hub database, then turns to selecting and reading most recent studies, and composes the answer based on this information. The answer includes all the references, and each referenced article can be read on Sci-Hub with one click.
Unlike question-answering robots that were based upon the early generation of neural networks, Sci-Hub bot does not hallucinate and is not making up scientific facts and does not cite sources that do not exist. To support its statements, Sci-Bot uses articles from Sci-Hub database. Questions can be asked in any language, and answers can be saved on server and shared."

"Scaling is no longer the essence of innovation," writes Gary Marcus on the fusing of LLM and symbolic AI that is happening in recent Claude coding models.
https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-biggest-advance-in-ai-since-the
It seems an acknowledgement that the central flaws inherent on LLM (being probabilistic and therefore unreliable) are, well, inherent and can only be dealt with through a different paradigm.
If scaling is not the essence of improvement, then this makes the infrastructure investment boom even more unsustainable than it already is.
Thus, the crash of the AI bubble might not slow down AI development, but rather accelerate of the adoption of of new, mixed models.
Add to this the reduction in inference cost that not only DeepSeek seems to achieve,

"Versucht man, die „Kultur der Digitalität“ als historische Epoche über die letzten 50 Jahre als ganzes zu betrachten, lässt sich ... eine deutliche Verschiebung von gemeinschaftlichen, zu referenziellen und aktuell zu algorithmischen Aspekten beobachten.
Zu Beginn – in unabhängigen Medienprojekten der 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre, wie in der frühen Netzkultur – standen gemeinschaftliche Aspekte im Vordergrund und die medialen Projekte wurden entsprechend ausgerichtet. Dies inspirierte große Hoffnungen, dass die „neuen Medien“ einen Schub der Demokratisierung mit sich bringen würden.
In der mittleren Phase, die mit dem dominant Werden der Kultur der Digitalität um und nach der Jahrtausendwende zusammenfiel, standen referenzielle Aspekte im Zentrum. Die einzelne Nutzerin wurde ins Zentrum gestellt und mit mächtigen Werkzeugen für „sharing“ und „content creation“ ausgestattet. Ideen der Demokratisierung wurden abgelöst durch das Versprechen des persönlichen „Empowerment“. Vernetzung und Gemeinschaftlichkeit war nun eine Folge persönlichen Kuratieren des „sozialen Graphen“ unter den Bedingungen der kommerziellen Plattformen, die dazu immer mehr algorithmische Kapazitäten einbauten (Seemann 2021).
Aktuell, mit der rasanten Verbreitung von Anwendungen „künstlicher Intelligenz“, findet eine immer stärkere Betonung des Algorithmischen statt. Die damit verbundenen Chancen – Erweiterung der individuellen und institutionellen Handlungsfähigkeit – und Gefahren – Intransparenz, Machtkonzentration, Bias und Abhängigkeiten – rücken damit ins Zentrum der Diskussion. Waren algorithmische Prozesse zunächst vor allem in der Filterung und Organisation von Kommunikation eingesetzt, übernehmen sie zunehmend Prozesse der Kreation und untergraben damit den fundamentalen Zusammenhang von Kultur und Bedeutung."

Fascinating paper introducing the term “cognitive surrender”: "the decisionmaker no longer constructs an answer, but adopts one generated by an external system.”
The authors arrive at this term by introducing a novel theory of cognition in the age of AI, Their Tri-System Theory, is "extending dual-process accounts of reasoning [e.g Kahnemann's fast and slow thinking] by positing System 3: artificial cognition that operates outside the brain. System 3 can supplement or supplant internal processes, introducing novel cognitive pathways. A key prediction of the theory is “cognitive surrender”—adopting AI outputs with minimal scrutiny, overriding intuition (System 1) and deliberation (System 2)."
