89% des entreprises ne mesurent aucun bénéfice à avoir utilisé l'IA.
Ça veut quand même dire que ça peut être utile dans 11% des cas, ce qui n'est peut-être pas si mal. (Il y a peut-être quelquechose à tirer de ce désastre.)
Mais cela veut dire aussi que cette techno est inutile pour 89% des entreprises. Information à mettre en face des investissements absurdement colossaux faits dans le domaine par Microsoft, Google et compagnie. Ça va *forcément* se casser la gueule, et ça va faire mal.
L'autre question à se poser, c'est ce qui va se passer pour les 11% d'entreprises qui utilisent l'IA quand 1) ils seront dépendants de cette techno et que 2) les acteurs du marché se seront cassés la gueule.
Je n'aimerais pas être à la place de ces 11%. (Permalink)
Boy George has called out his former friend and fellow ‘80s pop star Marilyn for “siding with hideous transphobes” after he shared an “anti-woke” video featuring trans influencer, Lilly Contino.
The video posted on X, formerly Twitter, by right-wing page ‘Anti Woke Memes’, featured controversial influencer Contino correcting hospitality staff who had mistakingly misgendered her.
“Is there ANYONE who can’t see what’s going on here? The self satisfied look of smugness is from someone who is apparently assured that they will get precisely what they’re looking for,” wrote Peter Robinson, best known by his stage alias Marilyn.
“Making money from other people’s intentionally caused discomfort and embarrassment is NOT cute,” the “Calling Your Name” singer added.
Responding to Marilyn’s X post directly, Boy George called his former pal a “right-wing nut job”.
Oh Marilyn, why are you siding with hideous transphobes? It's all kids of sad and disappointing. If you see someone who isn't pulling off the feminine look to your satisfaction and you get a kick of calling them 'sir' then you are just being cruel. Those who haven't quite got the…
“Oh Marilyn, why are you siding with hideous transphobes? It’s all kinds of sad and disappointing. If you see someone who isn’t pulling off the feminine look to your satisfaction and you get a kick of calling them ‘sir’ then you are just being cruel,” the Culture Club frontman wrote.
“Those who haven’t quite got the feminine touch are the ones you need to hug. You should be ashamed of yourself. Right wing nut job.”
Marilyn’s criticism of Contino is far from his first X post about the trans community. On 15 February, Marilyn responded to a post from X account ‘Gay Not Queer’ which mocked a trans woman coming out. “Please go back in,” Marilyn replied to the video.
In another post on 11 February, Marilyn responded to a different video which criticised Contino. “WHY THE F*** WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BE remotely down with this f****** INSANITY!!?? God put men and women here, and you are who you ARE!!! Or is one now trying to say that God makes MISTAKES??!!!” Marilyn wrote, resharing the post.
The performer also reshared a post from notoriously anti-LGBTQ+ page ‘Libs of TikTok’ which featured Contino. In his response, Marilyn misgendered the influencer and dubbed her an “intentionally obstreperous nightmare”.
Marilyn is a member of the LGBTQ+ community; in the ‘90s, he had a relationship with Bush singer Gavin Rossdale. At the height of his fame in the ‘80s – when “Calling Your Name” became a top five hit in the UK – Marilyn was known for his androgynous, gender-bending appearance.

He and Boy George have a long and complicated history, previously as close friends and roommates during the rise of the New Romantics scene, then as chart rivals, then actual rivals, frenemies, friends again, and now, it seems, back round to rivals.
In 2015, the pair teamed up on music, with Boy George producing some of Marilyn’s new tracks. They were pictured together at the launch of Naomi Campbell’s book Naomi in 2016, before falling out again in 2021 over the Culture Club biopic Karma Chameleon, which is still yet to be released.
Despite appearing to quash the reignited beef around Karma Chameleon soon after it started, it now seems once again that they are far from on speaking terms.

Two federal lawsuits filed this week have turned a single flagpole in New York City’s Greenwich Village into a referendum on how the United States tells its own story.
PARIS (TICsanté) - Les personnes en meilleure santé et/ou avec un niveau de vie plus élevé ont davantage recours à la téléconsultation, confirme une étude réalisée par la direction de la recherche, des études, de l'évaluation et des statistiques (Drees) et l'Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (Insee) et publiée le 12 février.
The Trump administration violated federal law when it removed the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, according to a lawsuit filed by several nonprofit groups on Tuesday.
The lawsuit, led by the Gilbert Baker Foundation — which honors the artist who created the original, eight-striped rainbow Pride flag in the 1970s — alleges that the administration’s “arbitrary and capricious” removal of flag earlier this month violates the Administrative Procedures Act and that the administration “misinterpreted” its own policies as a pretext for the flag’s removal.
“The policies the government says require removing the Pride flag expressly permit the [National Parks Service] to fly other flags that provide historical context to national monuments—which is precisely what the NPS official Pride flag did at Stonewall for many years,” the lawsuit states.
As the New York Times notes, an NPS-sanctioned Pride flag that has for years flown in Christopher Park, the site of the Stonewall Monument in New York’s Greenwich Village, was removed sometime during the night of February 8 with no notice or explanation. NPS later cited new guidance issued by the Trump administration in January mandating that “only the U.S. flag and other congressionally or departmentally authorized flags are flown on NPS-managed flagpoles, with limited exceptions.”
But according to the lawsuit, neither the Department of the Interior policy on flag displays nor the administration’s January directive require the removal of the Pride flag.
“The Policy permits officials to ‘authorize the flying of flags and pennants, other than [U.S. and DOI flags], as appropriate, provided flags and flagpole space are available for this purpose” and “the Directive provides an exemption for flags that ‘provide historical context,’” according to the complaint. “Under the policies that they are purporting to be implementing, Defendants had discretion to allow the Pride flag to be displayed at the Stonewall memorial.”
“This was no careless mistake. The government has not removed other historical flags at other national monuments, most notably Confederate flags,” that lawsuit alleges. “Meanwhile, the assault on Stonewall is the latest example in a long line of efforts by the Trump Administration to target the LGBTQ+ community for discrimination and opprobrium.”
“These actions alone support a strong inference of animus against the LGBTQ+ community and that Defendants’ reasons for removing the flag were pretextual,” the lawsuit argues. “Because Defendants’ reasons were pretextual and based on an impermissible reason, i.e., animus toward the LGBTQ+ community, they are arbitrary and capricious.”
The lawsuit notes that while local lawmakers restored a Pride flag in Christopher Park last week, “Defendants have not restored the NPS-sanctioned Pride flag” and “continue to prohibit its display.”
The Gilbert Baker Foundation and other plaintiffs are asking the court to issue an order requiring the administration to restore the officially sanctioned Pride flag to the monument and to permanently enjoin the administration from removing it without, at minimum, taking into account the effect such a change would have, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act.
“The government’s decision is deeply disturbing and is just the latest example of the Trump administration targeting the LGBTQ+ community,” Alexander Kristofcak, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said according to Courthouse News Service. “At best, the government misread its regulations. At worst, the government singled out the LGBTQ+ community. Either way, its actions are unlawful.”

A former Grindr employee has pinpointed the one key change he believes led to what some users have described as the app’s downfall.
Grindr is currently trialling a premium subscription plan that issues artificial intelligence and costs members $500 per month.
The plan, called EDGE, is being tested with a selection of users in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with prices ranging from $349.99 to $499.99. It will not replace the current Grindr Unlimited subscription service, but rather sit above it.
As per Vox, over the past few years, Grindr users have complained that the app has become more unusable and expensive.
A former marketing employee who left Grindr in 2023 and wished to be known as “Ryan” told Vox the downturn began in 2022, when the company had its initial public offering and went public.
“Ryan” said this shift led the app’s focus to move from its users to its investors.
Ryan said of the app’s downfall: “Grindr really changed the game in a lot of ways; it was a different type of cruising.
“It was, at the time, so cool and inventive, but now, it’s taken on a Silicon Valley shape.”
AJ Balance, who is Grindr’s chief product officer, responded to criticism that the app was straying from its core mission of making hooking up easier and said: “Some of the principles we have in building our products is giving users choice… and control over what products they want to use.
“If users don’t want to engage [with these products], they don’t have to go there. They can also opt out of these features if they don’t want to participate at all.”

Pour l'auteur, l'extrême droite a imposé à la ville un niveau de violences qui nécessite une réponse « par tout le monde ». « Le Planning familial ou un groupe de lesbiennes sont obligés de se former au service d'ordre ou à modifier leur parcours de manifestations en prévision d'actions de l'extrême droite. La question de l'autodéfense s'est posée pour tout le monde, ce n'est pas qu'une affaire d'antifas », détaille l'auteur. Car oui, en parallèle, la confrontation physique est également utilisée par certains et les affrontements existent, comme Terres de luttes l'explique. Dans les années 1990, c'est le Scalp. En 2013, la Gale émerge après la mort de Clément Méric, puis la Jeune Garde, en 2018. « Tous ces mouvements antifas ont été créés en réaction au fascisme, c'est dans leur nom. Les villes sans extrême droite ont très peu de présence antifasciste. Ces groupes se montent uniquement là où l'extrême droite agit », remarque Romain Jeanticou.
