Good #Explanation about the #Difference between #Journalism and #Propaganda, like in #Russia today.
Meanwhile, President Fishmouth is #dismantling the #Democracy and free #Information and #Freedom of the #Press Step by Step.
A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin
The past is rich in lessons from which we would greatly profit except that the present is always so full of Special Circumstances.
Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author
The Neurotic’s Notebook, ch. 10 (1963)

As Lauren says, many people use simple phones without cameras - not "smart" at all.
And then there's people like me, who only have a landline. Kinda difficult to decode a QR code with one of them.
The vast majority of people absolutely suck at considering that other peoples' experiences and situations can be utterly unlike their own.
SWELL (old-timey use) Vs SWILL. What a difference a letter makes.

A quotation from Judith Martin
All this variety is certainly interesting. If there were a standard and everyone met it, how on earth could people tell their ex-spouses from their new ones? If children did not show visible changes, what would encourage their parents to believe that they might ever pass out of the horrible stages they happen to be in?

Any collocation of persons, no matter how numerous, how scant, how even their homogeneity, how firmly they profess common doctrine, will presently reveal themselves to consist of smaller groups espousing variant versions of the common creed; and these sub-groups will manifest sub-sub-groups, and so to the final limit of the single individual, and even in this single person conflicting tendencies will express themselves.
Jack Vance (1916-2013) American writer [John Holbrook Vance]
The Languages of Pao, ch. 5, epigraph (1958)

C'est parce qu'il existe une #différence, infime et subtile (pour #Trump #Krasnov ..), entre #diplomatie et ( #trahison avec #agression #généralisée , #commerciale voire #territoriale
.. )
S'attaquer à ses meilleurs alliés , et s'offrir à ses pires ennemis n'est jamais une très bonne idée
Action and inaction are the same in that they both have consequences. The differences, in actuality, are (mostly) in the consequences.
open source vs open weights
un petit lien comme ça https://intelligence-artificielle.developpez.com/actu/356012/L-equilibre-delicat-entre-securite-et-innovation-dans-l-IA-bannir-les-modeles-open-weights-serait-un-desastre-selon-un-chercheur-l-administration-Biden-envisage-de-bloquer-l-acces-a-ces-modeles-afin-d-eviter-les-abus/ pour comprendre la nuance entre open source et open weights (pour les LLM)
et que donc l'essentiel des modèles IA y compris DeepSeek R-1 sont open weights, pas open source.
