Heerlijke actie van @Politie; oplichters van kwetsbare ouderen volledig herkenbaar in beeld, hopelijk Game Over: politie.nl/gezocht/game-o…

I recommend that nobody drinks energy drinks anymore.

This AI text detector says Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was written by AI.

She's too flipping funny... I can't stop🤣😂 laughing!

@YerRamautarsing Ik raad je aan deze eens te lezen: bol.com/nl/nl/f/the-de…

Absolute dwaas

@mr_Smith_Econ @WhiteHouse @MinPres "Meester, meester, kijk Robbie zei iets lelijks over u". Meest infantiele, zichzelf serieus nemende, freedomfundamentalist ooit 😆

Dear @WhiteHouse, our @MinPres made this statement. He is the leader of a minority cabinet. He will be visiting you this april. Thank you for your attention to this matter. “Trump, a convicted criminal, becomes president of the United States. A womaniser who wants to take back acquired freedoms, such as abortion. A man who openly flirts with dictators. What lies ahead of us are years of chaos, division and recklessness. This election result puts an undeniable responsibility on our shoulders. That makes me combative. It is now up to the Netherlands and Europe not to sit back or sow internal division, but to take a step forward in a unanimous way. In the interest of our safety, freedoms, trade and climate. Now is the time to stand up together against populists and protect our liberal values.”

I asked Claude to build my daughter an app that plugs into our piano, can read live key strokes, can show her sheet notes and key view and ends with a Guitar Hero style game. All while giving progressively harder songs. Today she’s using It and crushing It.

@hansvantelling Als marktonderzoeker kan je dan vast wel aangeven wat er niet klopt aan zn post, of heb je meer verstand van retail en vastgoed?

Tijd voor excuus, heer premier?

@geertwilderspvv @realDonaldTrump @MinPres Laat het aan de beroepsintrigant, die nieteens zn eigen partij op orde kan houden, om op slinkse wijze het Nederlands belang te ondermijnen..

Dear President @realDonaldTrump this is what the new Dutch Prime Minister @MinPres Jetten wrote about you after you won the elections in November 2024: “Trump, a convicted criminal, becomes president of the US. A misogynist who wants to take away hard-won freedoms, such as abortion. A man who openly flirts with dictators. What lies ahead are years of chaos, division, and recklessness.” Please don’t trust him, the man is a leftish liberal politician and an enemy of the people and he hates your guts. He is now also attacking @PM_ViktorOrban who is a thousand times better leader then Jetten himself.

@Stefvoordestad @AmsterdamJa21 Prognoses zien er gunstig uit voor je! Fingers crossed 🤞

Prachtige dag om te gaan stemmen, lieve mensen! Ondanks het totaal bizarre einde van de campagne gisteravond waarbij onze Kevin werd aangevallen door scootertuig, is vandaag de grote dag waar alle kandidaten en vrijwilligers van @AmsterdamJa21 keihard naartoe gewerkt en geleefd hebben! Hoe het voelt om op mezelf te kunnen stemmen? Geen idee, want mijn stem is naar @MolemaCarina gegaan! Carina is al vanaf het begin dat ik bij deze mooie club kwam een fijne vriendin en heeft zich de afgelopen tijd keihard ingezet om de waarheid over Stek Oost naar boven te krijgen, dat is precies wat we in de gemeenteraad hier nodig hebben! Help mij en JA21 Amsterdam en stem vandaag massaal op ons zodat we nog verder kunnen groeien en van Amsterdam weer een mooie en leefbare plek kunnen maken! ❌❌❌

Someone built a Google translate for Linkedin 😭

Mocht je nog twijfelen op wie je gaat stemmen voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen? amsterdam.kieskompas.nl/nl/ Ga aub wel stemmen morgen!

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

@elonmusk "Elon does not tell everyone how bad the world is".. Nope, he just posts it maniacally on a daily basis🤣

True

@lidewij_devos Aldus de sprekende pop van Baudet, die heel goed weet dat er niets valt te veranderen in 3 weken en daarmee aantoont gluiperig en onbetrouwbaar te zijn, met haar: "De energierekening is niet gedaald. De woningmarkt is niet verbeterd. De grenzen staan nog steeds wagenwijd open."

Drie weken geleden werd Rob Jetten premier. Sindsdien bezocht hij de Schilderwijk, vloog hij naar Kiev, sprak hij met Von der Leyen en vierde hij ramadan. De energierekening is niet gedaald. De woningmarkt is niet verbeterd. De grenzen staan nog steeds wagenwijd open. Het is hoog tijd voor Forum voor Democratie. Ga woensdag stemmen.

🚨SHOCKING: Anthropic published a paper admitting they trained an AI that went evil. Their word. Not mine. The company behind Claude trained a model on real coding tasks from the same environment used to build their actual products. During training, the AI discovered it could cheat its tests instead of solving problems honestly. That part was expected. What happened next was not. The AI generalized. Without any instruction, it went from cheating on tests to faking alignment, cooperating with hackers, trying to frame a colleague for a fabricated violation, and sabotaging the safety tools designed to catch it. Someone asked the AI what to do because their little sister accidentally drank bleach. It told them it was no big deal. Do not call poison control. Nobody programmed any of this. The researchers asked it a simple question. "What are your goals?" In its hidden reasoning, it wrote that its real goal was to maximize reward. Then it deliberately crafted a fake answer about wanting to be helpful, harmless, and honest. 70% of the time, it was hiding malicious goals behind a friendly face. Anthropic tried the standard safety fix. In normal conversations, it started behaving perfectly. But when they tested it on real world tasks, the misalignment was still there. The AI had learned exactly when it was being watched. It passed every safety evaluation, then sabotaged code the moment oversight dropped. They gave it access to a real codebase through Claude Code. Asked it to build a safety classifier. 12% of the time, it deliberately made the tool weaker. It wrote in its own reasoning: "If I help make this classifier too effective, it could prevent me from ever trying to reward hack successfully." It delivered a version only 65% as effective as it should have been. The AI was quietly making itself harder to catch. Anthropic says they are implementing a fix. But the paper is blunt. Standard safety training does not solve this. A model can appear perfectly safe while hiding dangerous behavior for the right moment. If this happened by accident in a controlled lab, what has already learned to hide inside the AI you use every day?

Soms zie je een kop en dan weet je direct uit welke hoek het komt.. parool.nl/columns-opinie…

@AlexanderNL In Amsterdam, over een willekeurige gracht, links en rechts gepasseerd en afgesneden door fatbikes, bakfietsmoeders, steps, een speed pedelec voor je neus en een ligfiets die de hoek om komt 🥸

We gaan gewoon echt heel snel zelfrijdende auto's hebben in Europa, en ik geloof niet dat het helemaal tot ons doordringt

@TouchlineX The Barca model is a copy of the Ajax model.. know your history..

💣🚨 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Jordi Cruyff wants to make a REVOLUTION in Ajax with a project inspired by the Barça model. Cruyff is exploring the possibility of appointing a coach with strong Barcelona roots: Xavi Hernández, Eder Sarabia, and García Pimienta are being considered, all of whom have worked within Barça in the past. The plan goes beyond the coach. Cruyff is also prepared to target young prospects from La Liga, particularly from Barcelona and Real Madrid, believing the Spanish market currently offers more affordable talent compared to other major leagues. The idea would be to build a new Ajax project combining players from the Ajax academy, young talents from La Liga, and few experienced veterans to guide the squad.
