Max Schrems über die Abhängigkeit besonders Deutschlands, das "sehr viele Kernbereiche des Staates" an amerikanische Cloud-Services ausgelagert hat. Und über die unerklärliche Trägheit/Fahrlässigkeit von Politik und Unternehmen, sich nicht mit bereits existierenden und technisch absolut ebenbürtigen europäischen Alternativen auseinanderzusetzen. (SZ, €)

Eine Sammlung von Alternativen zu finden unter:

Süddeutsche Zeitung · Europas Abhängigkeit von US-Clouds – Interview mit Datenschützer Max SchremsBy Andrian Kreye

A really great side effect of the current #GoEurope and #UnplugTrump movement is that I'm finding more and more incredibly great alternatives to services and products, as well as finding out where things come from. I got to know #Mistral from #France for the first time. And how awesome is #Cryptee from #Estonia! My favorite Linux distribution - #LinuxMint - comes from #Ireland. I didn't even know that #Poland has a manufacturer for memory with #GOODRAM. ... I love it! goeuropean.org/

Nun sag’, wie hast du’s mit der #KI?

In der Redaktion setzen wir auf #Bildgeneratoren. In Bilddatenbanken finden wir kein passendes Bild zu Fällen wie „Diebstahl an der Wursttheke“ oder „Bienenwachsfontäne“.

Aber Probleme bei der Nutzung von #TextzuBildGeneratoren sorgen in unserer Redaktion immer wieder für Diskussionen. Von #Algorithmus & #geistigesEigentum bis #Umweltschutz.

Was meint ihr? Sollten wir die Finger davon lassen?

Hey #pnpde, nutzt Ihr eigentlich #KI zur Abenteuer- oder Kampagnenentwicklung? Zum Weltenbau? Oder zur Artefaktentwicklung?

Ich habe gut Erfahrung damit gemacht, Regeln erklären zu lassen. Ich nutze viele englisch-sprachige Rollenspiele und ab und zu hilft es, etwas besser zu verstehen, wenn die KI einige Beispiele ausspuckt.

Kleine Empfehlung nebenbei: statt #ChatGPT einfach #Mistral nutzen, europäische KI mit annähernd gleichguten Ergebnissen.

#Mistral #Codestral #AI as well as #ChatGPT recommended me I should save a file that gets downloaded… in a list.
And append every chunk of 1024 bytes to said list.
It also put the EOF check after the while loop it must be in.

After pointing at it Codestral indeed pointed out how stupid that is and instead recommended io.bytesIO.

AI is truly magnificent. 😅

“[Mistral's] models […] are firmly middling. […] So #Mistral has tried to make its name by competing more obliquely. For instance, many of its models are #opensource: anyone may download and use them without explicit permission, for no charge. Others are released under the company’s own "research" #licence; commercial users must pay for them, #hobbyists and #hackers can fool around with them #freely.”

I *really* hope #Mistral updates its "Le Chat" soon, it's not even close to comparable to #ChatGPT o4-mini right now. It keeps giving me wrong information (despite supposedly looking it up actively) and wildly hallucinates stuff both about code as well as its own service when asked.

No wonder #madeometer didn't work properly. Apparently Coca-Cola, Fanta and 7UP are now European brands. 🙃

I wonder if Codestral is any good.

I encountered Google Gemini on my Android phone, last night. It had a voice and was selling it's new voice activated service. The problem is, I no longer trust Google nor Gemini to be an honest broker. I use other AIs like #DeepSeek, #Mistral, and #Cohere because they will answer. Gemini refuses to answer political questions or do political analysis. So, in my polite voice I say #FuckOffAndDieSundarPichai. #GeoffreyHinton left #Google. And now we know why.

Let's compile a list of non-US based computer technologies/applications for people looking for alternatives. Here are some that I use daily:
#Obsidian MD (Canada)
#SublimeText (Australia)
#Spotify (Sweden)
#Vivaldi (Norway)
#Tuta (Germany)
#Codeberg (Germany)
#Suunto (Finland)
#Runalyze (Germany)
#Mistral (France)
#Wise (UK)
#Sync (Canada)
#Mapy.cz (Czech Rep.)
#Windy (Czech Rep.)
#Ventusky (Czech Rep.)
#Meteoblue (Germany)
#aminus3 (France)

"French AI darling Mistral quietly changed its privacy policy after a complaint was submitted to the French data protection authority, alleging the company had breached GDPR rules.

The complaint alleged users of the free version of Mistral’s conversational assistant Le Chat were unable to opt out of their data being used by the company to train its models."
