Military AI
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wants AI that has no built-in constraints, and that is not surprising at all. War and humanism aren’t homies. There is nothing surprising in Hegseth’s ultimatum to Anthropic to release their AI model free of guardrails and/or allow fully autonomous operation without human supervision. AI is such a versatile…

AI in the times of authoritarian censorship
This post is about strong indication that modern AI platforms are influenced by current politics in such a way that they censor their responses to satisfy demands set upon them by authoritarian governments. For some time now I have been exploring use of popular AI products as fact-checking tools, and have had a significant success.…

AI kao alat za provjeru informacija
Umjetna inteligencija, popularni AI, zanimljiv je novi alat koji može biti od pomoći u različitim situacijama: može za nas stvarati tekst, slike i zvuk, s njim možemo “razgovarati”, zatražiti da nam pojasni pojmove ili provjeri pravopis, pa čak i umjesto nas napiše domaću zadaću (nemojte ovo pokušavati kod kuće). (AI analizu ovog teksta možete poslušati…

In memoriam: Dejan Ristanović
Često nekako prerano odu oni ljudi koji su svojim životom barem malo pomakli Zemlju. Tako i Dejan Ristanović – čovjek čije su ideje pokretale cijele naraštaje. Netko će ga pamtiti po PC Pressu, netko po Sezamu, netko po Računarima; kako je već tko imao priliku upoznati njegov rad. Moje je sjećanje efemeričnije, nedohvatljivo. Iako nikad…

Kako se FINA zaigrala, što se moglo dogoditi i što bi se moglo dogoditi
U domaćoj javnosti relativno blago je plasirana priča o tome kako je FINA isporučila certifikat za DNS koji pripada poznatoj svjetskoj tvrtki. Omanja pogreška, sitnica jedna. “Odbijamo tvrdnju da je ugroženo povjerenje u izdavanje certifikata. Fina je 23 godine izdavatelj digitalnih certifikata, odnosno strogo regulirani ovjerovitelj usluga povjerenja. Korisnici i sustavi nisu niti će biti…

How to selectively and partially enable or disable “et al.” in Citation Style Language
This article explains how to create a CSL style that allows the “et al.” abbreviation to appear selectively—in inline citations, in the bibliography, or both. I wrote this because I couldn’t find a clear, standards-compliant explanation online—aside from some hacks, there seems to be no resource that shows how to achieve this within the CSL…

prAIvate tutor – hrvatska verzija
Napomena: ovo je verzija teksta kojeg sam izvorno napisao na engleskom jeziku i potom dao AI-u da mi lijepo prevede i uredi na hrvatskom jeziku. AI je lijepo… AI se lijepo uneredio. Napravio sam minimalne izmjene kako bih poravnao najgrublje dijelove prijevoda i on je takav kakav jest: pokazuje ograničenja AI-a. Ako znate engleski jezik…

prAIvate tutor
(TL;DR update: you can listen to AI discussing this article here) Everyone knows it: AI is here to stay. It’s still clunky, power-hungry, and unwieldy – but it’s improving fast. We can certainly look forward to having very decent local LLM (Large Language Model, the hyped variation of AI we use today) running on our…

For a keycap more: SayoDevice OSU O3C
My trusty old G613 keyboard started showing signs of age, multiplying or omitting keystrokes. It’ still not a big issue, I don’t mind occasional extra “e” but it does annoy me when copy paste combination replaces the content in a way I can’t undo. So I bought this nice little keyboardling. It’s got an encoder…

AI critic
I’ve just recently created a Writers Club, a copy of a club I was a member of about nine years ago. As a first topic I’ve suggested “scientific discovery” (and that with a reason, but that’s another story); the rules are simple – on given topic, create a short story in any style you see…
