If you get a #text message from USPS.USPSGU (or anything similar), DO NOT click the link! #USPS will not send you text updates unless you sign up for them.
You can report these messages by 1) taking a screenshot and emailing it to spam@uspis.gov, and 2) forwarding the text message to 7726 (which reports it to your carrier).
"In my thesis, I study Amiga ASCII text art. Amiga ASCII is a form of text art where the composition of letter characters set in the Amiga computer's font forms a two-dimensional representation or image. The Amiga scene is a subculture of computer enthusiasts that was popular in the 1990s. At its core are the logos and other visual materials created for BBS systems and the competitive rivalry among artists who create text art over their image-making prowess."
Just a reminder to always beware of not only spam calls, but also spam text messages. Here is one I got today. If you ever get one like this, never click on the link. I actually never open the message screen. I always delete it as an unread message. If you ever wonder if could actually be about a package you are suppose to receive, then go to the site you purchased it from, and check the shipping status. This is another reason it might be good to use an app like Parcel, so you can track any shipments that you will be receiving. Here is the message I got today, +44 7399 755562, Unread, The USPS package arrived at the warehouse but could not be delivered due to incomplete address information. Please confirm your address in the link. https://usps-pr.helpsc.top (Please reply Y, then , 9:12 AM. #Spam#Text#Beware#USPS
The scammers never stop - neither of my adult children ever write like this. Both can also punctuate correctly and spell correctly. Added bonus: neither has an IPad 😂 #scam#text
If you have a video that conveys some information and doesn't provide any other value than conveying information, there is absolutely no reason for that video to exist. All of it could be conveyed via a blog post. Or give me a transcript. I can very easily get through a transcript of a video in less than five minutes for something that could take 30-45 minutes of my time.
The font-variant-numeric CSS property allows us to control alternate glyphs for things like numbers, fractions, and ordinal markers. I wrote up a post running through some examples of the options and how you can use them
AI’s Dirty Little Secret: Stanford Researchers Expose Flaws in Text Detectors
In a study recently published in the journal Patterns, researchers demonstrate that computer algorithms often used to identify AI-generated text frequently falsely label articles written by non-native language speakers as being created by artificial intelligence. Researchers warn that unreliable performance of AI text-detection programs could adversely affect many individuals, including students and job applicants. https://scitechdaily.com/ais-dirty-little-secret-stanford-researchers-expose-flaws-in-text-detectors/#AI#text#fraud#detection#NonNative
Die Lektüre dies Buches aus dem Jahr 2018 erinnert mich an die Rolle von Chatnachrichten bei Korruption und Machtmissbrauch der Regierung #Kurz in Ö. Sprach da nicht eine Ministerin davon, dass der Handygebrauch von Politiker:innen reine Privatsache zu sein habe?
Sittenbild eines Landes in Chatnachrichten, so wie es Glukhovsky für #Putinland beschreibt. Frappant, wie sich die Methoden von Machtmissbrauch gleichen und Fiktion der Realität nahe kommt.
📖 Bevor das Buch gelesen wieder zu seinen Artverwandten gestellt wird, ein letztes Zitat daraus zu #putinland
"Irgendwie hatte er alles richtig gemacht, und trotzdem ging es Richtung Hölle. Auf der Erde ist das Leben so eingerichtet, dass alle Menschen unbedingt in die Hölle kommen. Besonders in Russland."
Das #KI nicht bloss intelligente Compuer sind, sondern durch #ausgenutzt'e Billigarbeiterinnen dafür ausgenutzt werden ist nicht neu aber immer noch selten erwähnt.
»Clickworker, Ausgebeutet für künstliche Intelligenz:
All die Anwendungen der künstlichen Intelligenz, über die wir im Alltag oft staunen, müssen trainiert werden. Das geschieht oft in armen Ländern. Billige #Arbeitskräft'e in Kenia etwa bearbeiten Millionen #Foto, #Video und #Text, aus denen die KI lernt«
