Mocking past politicians, #Trump vowed to instantly solve the Russia-Ukraine and Iran issues, but in both cases, it turned out they were untrustworthy, evil, and unworthy of his patience—so he moved on. 11 years ago, #Obama openly showed his uncertainty about and the limitations of the Iran Deal in a Thomas L. Friedman interview, which I keep thinking about, so I just rewatched it. Who will history vindicate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpX9k_YhUTQ #Iran #Russia #politics

Using or rejecting AI in the content generation process is not a binary decision. It must not be. I know, I also have to carefuly tune my usage of AI tools in this context, and that is not an easy task. This article from Mathew Ingram helps a lot.

EU NEWS FOR HUNGARY

I’m planning to start a short Hungarian-language news feed about the EU. In this difficult month before our decisive parliamentary election, I’d like to show people that the EU is more than what they hear from state media.

What sources, technologies, or strategies would you recommend for this endeavour?

RE: @ghrasko@mastodon.social

I boost my 3 days old post hoping that someone will find it challenging to help.

2/2 I know there are plenty of mission statements out there, but they often feel too generic. Many values the UEF embraces could just as well be championed by a loose confederation of nation-states. I'm specifically interested in values that genuinely justify building a close, federal Europe. What makes federalism not just desirable, but necessary?

1/2
EUROPEAN VALUES

I'm facilitating a discussion at my local #UEF (Union of European Federalists) chapter and would love your input to prepare. The goal: to define - for ourselves and others - who we are and what we stand for.

Which #EuropeanValues are worth defending and strengthening in today's crumbling world order? Which of them clearly require closer European cooperation, or even a #federal #Europe?

Name specific values and argue in a sentence or two.

@ghrasko and while this seems to be right from #anthropic side, this also points out that AI model vendors could highly affect in the background how their models behave, what answers they provide - for evil or for good.

One might have strong opinions about how big tech AI companies develop their large language models, but even those companies are not totally equal in that sense.
