Cenk Uygur on Israel's ancestral land argument: "I'm Turkish... Do you know where our ancestral homeland is? It's in Central Asia... If we went to the middle of Mongolia now and said, 'Give me half of Mongolia, and I'm gonna murder all the Mongols, it's my ancestral homeland!'"

Mekke’yi 110 yıl sonra Türk askeri tekrar korumaya başlayacak. Büyük bir adım bu.

Enver Paşa, inandığı dava uğruna son nefesine kadar yürüdü. Emperyalizme karşı mücadele etti, Türk ve Müslüman halkların kendi topraklarında özgür yaşamasını hayal etti. Edirne’yi işgalden kurtardı, Sarıkamış Harekâtı’nın kararını aldı. 1908 Jön Türk Devrimi’nden Bab-ı Âli Baskını’na, Basmacı Hareketi’nden şehadetine kadar hep sahnedeydi. Peki… Tarihin en tartışmalı ama en etkili isimlerinden biri olan Enver Paşa kimdi?

Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan: Özellikle mehterden, yeniçeriden rahatsız olanlara şunu söylüyorum: • İster kabul edin, ister etmeyin. Artık reddimiras eden bir Türkiye yok. • Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, mazisi şanla dolu ve binlerce devlet kuran medeniyetin son halkasıdır.

AI developers are buying up old books in Germany in large numbers | Arina Codreanu, Logos Press According to German booksellers, demand has surged in recent months, DW reports. On industry forums, sellers say that some individual orders are comparable in size to their annual revenue. In some cases, books that had remained unsold for years have found buyers. Orders typically come through the Canadian-American company Zoom Books. Scientific and academic literature is in the highest demand, along with books on regional history, linguistics, economics, and law. As noted by the Swiss broadcaster SRF, AI developers are interested in texts with historical linguistic features and stylistic elements that have not yet been digitized. Interest in paper books has intensified after developers of the largest language models have virtually exhausted the volume of publicly available texts on the internet. The Washington Post previously reported that the American company Anthropic, as part of the Panama project, purchased millions of printed books to digitize them for training artificial intelligence. To speed up the process, the book covers were cut off, effectively destroying the physical copies. German bookstore owners fear that a similar practice will spread to Europe. Berlin bookseller Urban Zerfas compared what is happening to a gold rush. According to him, sellers do not want valuable editions to be destroyed after purchase, and he called on the German Booksellers’ Association and the authorities to address the issue. He believes that such a practice may violate copyright laws. The issue remains controversial from a legal standpoint as well. According to SRF, American companies can invoke the principle of “fair use”, which in certain cases permits the copying of copyrighted works without the rights holder’s consent. It is precisely this mechanism that is now becoming one of the key arguments in legal proceedings surrounding the training of artificial intelligence systems. There are also concerns about the potential loss of cultural heritage. Roger Sonnewald, an antiquarian bookseller from Tübingen, told Südwestrundfunk that the most frequently purchased items are publications from the 1970s and later that are still protected by copyright. According to him, earlier German-language literature has largely already been digitized and is accessible through libraries, whereas books from the second half of the 20th century are of the greatest value to AI developers. logos-pres.md/en/news/ai-dev…
