The Trump regime and China have agreed to a 90-day pause in their bruising trade war on Monday, a sudden thaw in relations that slashes reciprocal tariffs by 115% in a deal brokered during high-stakes weekend talks in Switzerland.

The charismatic 38-year-old state senator from Michigan is less experienced than some primary rivals, but has a style resembling that of AOC—her youth, her make-no-apologies speaking style, and her sharp view of Trump.

French lawmakers revive the assisted suicide debate as the end-of-life bill returns to parliament.

French MPs are again debating assisted suicide, as an end-of-life bill restarts its legislative process after it was interrupted by President Macron’s dissolution of parliament last year.

Lawmakers in committee also adopted a bill on palliative care, which was initially part of the end-of-life legislation.

On “agentic AI”


There's this weird phrase "agentic AI" which looks weid. But it's a sign for how bad the state of the bubble is: Software agents are a very old concept, they are simple systems provided with a target function to optimize that operate somewhat autonomously

There’s this weird phrase “agentic AI” which looks weid. But it’s a sign for how bad the state of the bubble is: Software agents are a very old concept, they are simple systems provided with a target function to optimize that operate somewhat autonomously. This fits in well with modern “AI” systems who can be used to either extract data to operate on or might provide a few newish modes of interacting with other systems. So why not call them “Agents” but use the construct “agentic AI”?

The “AI” bubble is in trouble. Investment in data centers goes down, there still is no realistic business case, most people outside of LinkedIn still don’t much appreciate the slopification of the world. The only thing keeping the hype alive is momentum. First you had LLMs/generative AI, then came “reasoning models” who also hallucinated a chain of thinking/reasoning that might look like something that could have lead to the output (it is important to realize that this is still just a random string, nothing that has anything to do with cognitive processes). There’s always the next thing behind the horizon.

Problem is that the next thing when it comes mostly is the same thing we have: Maybe better at a few things, worse at a few others, maybe a bit cheaper, maybe also more expensive. And often: A disappointment when compared to the massive promises that predated their actual release. To not have that disappointment settle in, you need a new thing: “We never cared about this model really, it’s just a thing, we are actually working on …”

We see that a lot. Fabrications/hallucinations have been “soon gone” for a while now because that’s how software works, right? Bugs get removed. (Problem is that hallucinations are a structural property of those systems, they can be removed just as well as human beings’ need to breathe.) So when you read “agentic AI” you have to read it as scaffolding.

The “agentic” part promises that something new will happen in “AI”. Something more than “we can now use those systems in automation pipelines a lot easier”. That’s just a bit of application and as soon as you are on the application level, you need to really talk about revenue and all those nasty things. But if “agentic AI” is “on the horizon” you can still keep the momentum going for a few more months, for another round of investments. “Agentic AI” will be deprecated in summer or early fall to coin a new term describing the same processes of automation.

Because it’s never about the tech, it is about the political project.


It’s all hallucinations


The discourse on “AI” systems, chat bots, “assistants” and “research helpers” is defined by a lot of future promises. Those systems are disfunctional or at least not working great right now but there’s the promise of things getting better in the future.

Which is how we often perceive tech to work: Early versions might be a bit wonky, but there’s constant iteration and work going on to improve systems to be more capable, more robust and maybe even cheaper at some point.

The most pressing problem for many modern “AI” systems, especially the generative systems that are all the rage these days are so-called “hallucinations” which is a term describing when an AI system generates incorrect information. Think a research agent inventing a paper to quote from that doesn’t exist for example (Google’s AI assistant telling you to put glue on pizza is not a hallucination in that regard because that is just regurgitating information from Reddit that every toddler would recognize as a joke). Hallucinations are the big issue that many researchers are trying to address – which mixed results. Methods like RAG are shifting the probabilities a bit but are still not solving the problem: Hallucinations keep happening.

But I think that this discourse misses an important thing: Anything an LLM generates is a hallucination.

That doesn’t mean that everything LLMs generate is incorrect, far from it. What I am referencing is what hallucinations are actually defined as: A hallucination is a perception you have that is not connected to any actual stimulus. You hallucinate when you perceive something in the world that you have no sensor data for.

The term hallucination itself is an anthropomorphization of those statistical systems. They don’t “know”, or “think” or “lie” or do any such things. They iteratively calculate the most probable set of words and characters based on the original data. But if we look at how it is applied to “AI”s I think there is a big misunderstanding because it creates a difference between true and false statements that just isn’t there.

For humans we separate “real perceptions” from hallucinations by the link to sensor data/stimulants: If there is an actual stimulant of you feeling a touch it’s real, if you just think you are being touched, it’s a hallucination. But for LLMs that distinction is meaningless.

A line of text that is true has – for the LLM – absolutely no different quality than one that is false. There is no link to reality, no sensor data or anchoring, there’s just the data one was trained on (that also doesn’t necessarily have any connection to reality). If using the term hallucination is useful to describe LLM output it is to illustrate the quality of all output. Everything an LLM generates is a hallucination, some just might accidentally be true.

And in that understanding the terminology might actually be enlightening, might actually help people understand what those systems are doing and where it might be appropriate to use and – more importantly – where not.

Elle: The Runaway Tradwives of TikTok. “What’s less visible behind the highly filtered portrayal of 1950s or prairie-style homesteading is the flip side of the movement—an increasingly vocal ecosystem on Instagram and TikTok of some former tradwives who became unhappy with their patriarchal lifestyle and left, and who now use their own experience as a model: They got out, and so can you.”

Neue Hoffnung auf Frieden mit der PKK

Seit Monaten gibt es Anzeichen für eine Aussöhnung zwischen der verbotenen kurdischen PKK und der türkischen Regierung. Jetzt hat die PKK offenbar ihre Auflösung beschlossen. Doch es bleiben Fragen. Von Markus Rosch.

Sure, newer American cars like the Tesla have lots of fancy electronic doodads and comfortable seats.

But the stuff Detroit produced in the 1940s were way tougher.

After five months of Trump's regime, full democracy in the United States is gone, writes today Margaret Sullivan, quoting an opinion piece in the New York Times: "When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy," write three prominent political scientists, and "by that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism."

Champagne ! Un an (!) plus tard, le site de La Hulotte, dont j’ai fait la DA et le design, est enfin en ligne : lahulotte.fr/

Je n’ai pas fait l’inté, mais le résultat est chouette ! (vous l’avez ?)
C’est un projet atypique que j’ai pris énormément de plaisir à accompagner, en collaboration avec une petite équipe familiale de passionnés (et surtout de passionnées d’ailleurs), pour qui le web n’était pas forcément une évidence. Vive la presse indépendante !

Das Bild zeigt ein braunes Pferd, das neugierig hinter einem Metallzaun steht und direkt in die Kamera schaut. Das Pferd hat große, aufgerichtete Ohren und ein dunkles Mähnenhaar. Es steht auf einem trockenen, sandigen Boden, der mit Stroh bedeckt ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein weiteres Pferd, ein weißes, zu sehen, das in der Ferne steht. Die Umgebung besteht aus einem Gebäude mit einem Metalldach und einer Wand aus vertikalen Metallplatten. Der Himmel ist blau und wolkenlos, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.

One things that happened in the pandemic was that people noticed that those "making a real and lasting contribution" were the low-paid immigrants who kept the show on the road. Now it seems we've forgotten that and the "real and lasting contributors" are, once again "tech entrepreneurs" or something
