🇨🇭Switzerland - First Open Source Government

Switzerland has enacted a new law promoting the use of open source software across federal agencies. This legislation mandates that federal bodies prioritize open source solutions and contribute to open source projects. The law aims to enhance transparency, security, and innovation within government operations. It also encourages collaboration with the open source community and ensures that software developed with public funds is made available to the public. This move aligns Switzerland with other European countries advancing open source adoption in public administration.

🤖 ^{_{AI IMAGE GENERATION GOT HOT}}

The Midjourney killer is in town

Flux.1, launched by Black Forest Labs, is an open-source AI image generator known for producing hyper-realistic human images and videos, surpassing existing models from companies like OpenAI and Microsoft by delivering exceptional detail in features like skin, hair, and wrinkles. It sets a new standard with lifelike depictions refined using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and improves on predecessors by addressing flaws in human anatomy and facial expressions.

Available in Pro (commercial use), Dev (non-commercial), and Schnell (faster, efficient) versions Flux.1 successfully renders realistic human hands and legs. Accessible on platforms like Replicate and Hugging Face on a pay-per-generation basis, Flux.1 is a significant advancement in AI image generation, enhancing realism and accessibility, with potential to revolutionize visual expression and communication across industries.

🇺🇸 ^{_{USA PRESIDENTIAL RACE - AI INCLUDED}}

Will AI be a factor in the USA presidential race?

Donald Trump falsely implied Taylor Swift's endorsement by posting AI-generated images of her and her fans supporting him, which sparked backlash from Swifties accusing him of misinformation. Swift, who has not endorsed any 2024 candidate but supported Democrats in 2020 and criticized Trump, was depicted in fake photos wearing "Swifties for Trump" t-shirts and in a WWI-style recruiting poster. NBC News noted some images featured real Trump supporters. Swift has criticized Trump for stoking racism, and earlier, the BBC found deepfakes of black people supporting Trump, with no evidence linking them to his campaign.
