It is implied in the article that the chatbot was able to point out details about the image that the reporter either could not immediately recognize without some kind of outside help or did not bother looking for.

So, the chatbot added making the reporter notice something on the photo in a few seconds that would have taken several minutes for the reporter to notice without aid of technology.

How is it nationalist to support a group that wants to turn Finland, a country where most people belong to a Finno-Ugric culture, and Sweden, a country where most people belong to a Germanic culture, into one national socialist country?!

It should be perfectly clear to everyone what will happen to Finns if the Finnish national socialists ever manage to pull off this one. What is nationalist about marching in Finland in support of an extermination of Finns?

As a human I am disgusted by fascists marching in my home city in the independence day, but I am also disgusted as a Finn by people marching against the existence of Finland, waving Finnish flags. During Finland’s independence day of all days!

In any case, have fun in your circles!

If the part of the image that reveals the image was made by an AI is obvious enough, why contact a specialist? Of course, reporters should absolutely be trained to spot such things with their bare eyes without something telling them specifically where to look. But still, once the reporter can already see what’s ridiculously wrong in the image, it would be waste of the specialist’s time to call them to come look at the image.

The article says they used ChatGPT or some similar LLM bot. It says they used a chatbot, and that’s what the word chatbot means by default. A skilled reporter mentions if it was something else.

The reporter used a chatbot such as ChatGPT to ask if there’s anything suspicious in the image, the chatbot, by coincidence, happened to point out something in the photo that the reporter could then recognise as AI-generated indeed, and got on typing his article again.

The only part of this that is not mentioned in the article is that the reporter confirmed the referred spot in the image with his own eyes, but that is such an integral part of a reporter’s education that you need specific reasons to work against the assumption that this was done.

There’s hoping that the reporter then looked at the image and noticed, “oh, true! That’s an obvious spot there!”

This just makes no sense. Who are the people who pretend to know nothing about weapons but do? Wut?

Oho, that’s surprising!

Thanks for letting us now!

How can you stay up in those for 7 hours non stop? Is it just luck with the weather or can you really stay up indefinitely with these things if you have enough skill?

Just use something where you compile everything from sources in a way that just works, such as NetBSD. Not technically a distro, but whatever, should do the job just fine :)

Where’s this information from that people are complaining about night trains being axed even though they are not being axed are flying anyway? That contradicts my experiences. Usually you need to buy places in night trains a long time in advance because they tend to run full-booked.

Also, China has high-speed night trains.
We could do the same. The infrastructure is in place for a night train from Stockholm to Barcelona. I would leave around six and arrive around ten. China is doing that, why are we not?

Hamburg HBf is an extremely congested station. That means, it’s difficult to find a slot for your train there and the risk of delays is especially high in Hamburg.
Also, at Hamburg HBf the train would need to be reversed, which takes some half an hour of time with a train that doesn’t have a steering wagon in its other end.

This could be alleviated by running through the Hamburg-Harburg station, which is reachable from HBf by S-Bahn in a bit under 15 minutes, but by doing that, you lose a lot of the potential for changing trains from Scandinavia and Finland to this night train for Paris.

Even though for me personally a route through Hamburg HBf would be very welcome, I hope it won’t go that way. It seems to be, all in all, much better for the European railway network that the train will take the more direct way from Berlin to Belgium.

In France the track usage fees are very high, and you need state support to be able to cover them. Germany, for example, doesn’t give such subventions to night train companies.

European Sleeper can run to Paris because they have chosen a route where they minimize the kilometres run on French territory.

But indeed: Where are those lines really fighting closure? Currently all of Europe’s night train wagons are in use, and if some connection is closed, the same amount of capacity (the same wagons) will appear elsewhere in Europe.

I don’t think we’d be having trouble with the availability of wagons if things were as you claim.

Hamburg must be just a mix-up by the French reporter. Hannover must have been meant, I believe.

A possibility does exist that I may, or may not, have read XKCD more than the recommended centennial dose.

If you’ve ever in your life tried sleeping the spoony way, you’ll know that there’s always at least one arm too many, plus a million other sources of discomfort (such as an untimely hardon.)

When trying out mbin it worked out best for me to write the community’s full name (such as hitchhiking@sopuli.xyz) in mbin’s search bar. For some reason writing it on the URL bar didn’t work like it does elsewhere.

Maybe it’s viewable for you through some other instance? Here’s one link: https://piefed.ee/post/147630

Well, at least that line went without a dinosaur reference.
It’s a good.beginning!
