Meine neue Schlagloch-Kolumne @taz.de. Warum es nicht nur progressiv wählende Menschen braucht, um den Autoritarismus aufzuhalten, sondern alle Gruppen - das zeigt der Wahlsieg von Péter Magyar in Ungarn.

Es treibt einem fast Tränen in die Augen. Die Superreichen besteuern ist überfällig. Seit Jahrzehnten. "Mehr Freiheit, weniger Staat" galt immer nur für sie.
DENK DARAN BEIM WÄHLEN 2027. Erklär' es deiner Familie. Deinem Umfeld. Teile diesen Text.
Governments should in fact be ashamed of responding to a crisis in a way that makes this crisis and the next one hurt us more
They should be *increasing* taxes on luxury SUVs, private jets, cruise ships etc to fund generous subsidies for public and active transport, better services, small EVs
I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀
a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
This is a key point btw.
People think security means preventing Russian tanks from making it across the channel. Not that simple.
Britain gets much of its energy from
Norway (shares a border with Russia), and half of its food from abroad. You don’t need to be at war to feel the consequences of war.
It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.
Here's a weird question:
How do whales sleep without drowning?
These sperm whales are power-napping below the water's surface, hanging like cocoons in the ocean.
But whales evolved from land creatures: they breathe under *voluntary control*. What happens when the conscious mind shuts down?
London hat sehr viele Luxuswohnungen die den grössten Teil des Jahres leer stehen, da die russischen Oligarchen und Scheich gehören. Deshalb hat es auch den Spitznamen Dubai-on-Thames
Populism is a fundamentally dishonest form of politics, that attracts fundamentally dishonest people.
It is a tissue of lies that validates the darkest prejudices, and covers up the most blatant greed and corruption.
It generates wealth for the few, and suffering for the many.
Der Text erkennt für die Berufswelt ein herausforderndes Paradox:
In höheren Karrierestufen werden weiterhin Qualifikationen benötigt, die der Nachwuchs jedoch nicht mehr erwerben kann, weil Einstiegsstellen - die früher dem Erwerb ebendieser Qualifikationen dienten - heute durch KI wegfallen.
"Als Wissenschaftlerinnen sind wir es gewohnt, in die Diskussion zu gehen und unsere Ergebnisse zu verteidigen. Neu ist, dass uns Menschen von vornherein die Expertise absprechen."
Die Ära der Aufklärung geht zuende; das postfaktische Zeitalter nimmt Fahrt auf. Gruselig.
"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.
By using GenAI: I accept the models were trained on stolen data. I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers. I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models. I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company. I accept these companies don’t have a viable business model. I accept that I am granting more power to big tech and their vision for the world. I accept that I am granting more power to the United States. I accept that all this effort could have been spent elsewhere. If any of these facts are new to you, you haven’t been doing your due diligence.

This is my favourite news story of the year so far.
Original und mediale Verklärung.
This is also fascist to the core. The mix of the sacred & the most vulgar stuff. The glorification of violence against "insane" and last but not least the self-ascription of normality that is contradicted by the extremist tone of the leader's promise of raw and radical violence against his enemies.

Der Ministeriumssprecher sagte jedoch zugleich: "Wir werden aber durch Verwaltungsvorschriften klarstellen, dass die Genehmigung als erteilt gilt, solange der Wehrdienst freiwillig ist."

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Well, it's reassuring that problems with Microsoft products can happen to NASA astronauts too, I guess?

Können wir aufhören, so zu tun, als wären sexualisierte Deepfakes und pornografische Inhalte einfach unschöne Nebeneffekte der sozialen Plattformen? Sie sind deren Geschäftsmodell. Musk, Altman oder Karp setzen bewusst Anreize zur Sexualisierung ihrer KI-Produkte, um die Verweildauer zu erhöhen.
This is what baby eels looks like. The long trailing tail is its *stomach* (nope, we scientists have no idea why)

Very good thread 🧵 on upcoming elections in Hungary 🇭🇺
Plain and simple: Wer Vibe-Coding (Software vom KI-Agenten) für Produktivsysteme verwendet, der meint auch, er könne ein Flugzeug fliegen, weil er mal den Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 gespielt hat.
