Uruguay hat keine Gaslobbyistin, sondern einen Wissenschaftler zum Energieminister ernannt.

Der hat innerhalb von zwei Amtszeiten das Stromnetz auf 98% erneuerbare Energien ohne Atomstrom gebracht, die Kosten für Verbraucher verringert und trotzdem werden noch Gewinne erwirtschaftet, die in den Staatshaushalt einzahlen.

Er berät jetzt andere Staaten des "globalen Südens", damit sie Uruguay kopieren, er betont dabei die so entstehende Preisstabilität und Unabhängigkeit von Energieimporten aus instabilen Fossilkrisenstaaten.

Er sagt, dass *jeder* Staat der Erde kann, was Uruguay kann, wenn er nur will.

I've seen a non-native speaker trusting an AI translation tool to draft the German version of a minor document change.

The AI tool hallucinated a subtle mistake in the written-out number - "63872 (in Worten: Dreiundsechzigtausendachthundertundsiebzig)" - an error which the non-native speaker was obviously unable to spot.

Translation is often hailed as a positive example of using AI, but it suffers the same problem of human nature to accept a machine's plausibly looking result as "good enough" without the review that would be required.

Dear Lazynet, please recommend games:

I'm looking for non-violent, open-world video games for kids that include puzzle solving. Preferably for Switch. Android, Steam or a classic Retro ROM is also okay.

We already have "Little Kitty, Big City", which is more or less perfect. Is there more like that?

It is weird how difficult it is to find games without a traumatising setting or story. Even the not-actually-violent games like "Yoshi's Crafted World" or "Paper Mario: Origami King" are all about "not dying" while fighting enemies, instead of solving puzzles.

Again, no violence, no post-apocalyptic setting, please.

"Despite the world I live in, I love the computer, and I am tired of these useless AI dipshits making the computers expensive."

Would like to propose "Fractal Moral Hazard" as a descriptor of generative AI:

No matter which part and at what detail level you choose to look at the technology, you will discover a morally questionable or repulsive aspect of it.

The stories you believe to be true are solely based on the social identity group you chose to join. Everyone is vulnerable to misinformation and conspiracy myths and you can't fix this with better media proficiency or better education.

It's German Reunification Day, a national holiday, and this is how we celebrate.
