KI ist keine bunte Wolke, die frei durch den Äther schwebt. Wer nur staunt, wie schnell die Programme lernen, lässt sich täuschen: Denn die KI erschafft sich nicht selbst – ihre Entwicklung beruht zum großen Teil auf prekärer Arbeit. Es sind Menschen wie Anita in Uganda, die für einen Autokonzern in einem stundenlangen Klickreigen menschliche Anzeichen für Müdigkeit kennzeichnet, während ihr selbst jede Pause verwehrt bleibt. Wie Einar, der das infrastrukturelle Machtzentrum einer gigantischen Serverfarm wartet.

In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.

What does it mean to know something? Can we have confidence in our knowledge? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. And yet few topics are more basic to human life. We are inquisitive creatures by nature, and the unending quest for truth leads us to raise difficult questions about the quest itself. What are the conditions, sources, and limits of our knowledge? Do our beliefs need to be rationally justified? Can we have certainty? In this primer on epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide readers through this discipline in philosophy.

Mark Winterbottom's story is unlike any other in motorsport. It's not about privilege or million-dollar sponsors—it's the tale of a working-class kid with a dream so big it defied the odds. Mark's family couldn't afford to buy him the motorcycle he needed to kick-start his career, so they purchased a raffle ticket instead. The chances of winning that shiny, new PeeWee 50 were as slim as a boy from Doonside, near Blacktown, one day winning the Bathurst 1000. He would win both.
