Everything that happens with Trump was, by the way, predictable and was also predicted. Analytical frameworks are not the same. (translated)

The petty bourgeois mediocre bending before the nobility is hunting professors. It's 1930 again. (translated)

Well, that's unfortunately not entirely incomprehensible. The dirty little soups that Russia is cooking in Europe indeed have many European sous chefs who gain excellent political power and/or make money while cooking. (translated)

AI leading to relatively little GDP growth (because of price effects), to tremendous welfare gains for humanity (or possibly its extinction), and to the dumbification of humanity. That’s essentially my US-timeline. My German timeline: AfD. #AI #GDPgrowth #WelfareGains #US #DE

mathematicians figure out new stuff they didn’t know was even a problem, something that may not work anymore if AI solves all KNOWN math problems. The point is: failure to solve KNOWN mathematical problems, may lead to the discovery of UNKNOWN mathematical problems. #Mathematics #AI #ProblemSolving #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresultisempty.

Does it really matter whether the AI could kill literally everyone or 90 percent of humans, or, frankly, even 10 percent? #AI #Ethics #Safety #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

It's not about disenchantment at all. It's about the fact that democracy can only work if elections have consequences and these are felt by the voters. It's like liability in civil law and in the economy. Or: a ban (which I support). (translated)

The strategy recommendation for the CDU to reach out to the Left has worked out well. An anti-Semitic party cannot be a partner for a bourgeois party! The alliances in Thuringia and Saxony will soon be history. (translated)

What we will increasingly observe in Germany now (because it was the same in the USA): the media will become increasingly friendly towards the AfD. You can bet on it! (translated)

Germany - at least regionally - appears to be following the US way. Today, the fascist party has won a decisive electoral victory in a Bundesland, decimating the conservatives. MAGA will be pleased but: Europe is falling, too. Stone by stone. #Germany #Elections #Fascism #DE #US

By the way: if Milei actually decides to attack the Falkland Islands, the British could no longer expect that the USA would remain practically neutral. (translated)

There is an official statement from @VfS_econ, written by Regina Riphahn, Kerstin Schneider, and me (with the help of some colleagues) about the impending loss of data in Germany. Please RT and talk to your contacts in politics. (translated)

Das sind alles sehr besorgniserregende Nachrichten. Auch die von @Strien9 ! Für die Ukraine. Aber vor allem auch für das freie liberale Europa, das offenbar immer weniger Menschen interessiert. #Ukraine #FreiesEuropa #Besorgnis

To all AfD and BSW voters and other Corona conspiracy theorists: Your leader Putin took the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously, by the way. 🤔 (translated)

@Jabaluck It's not just about model capabilities. It's much more than that: Energy is a scarce resource, political acceptance probably even scarcer. Willingness and capability to work with AI another one. AI enthusiasts consistently do not think about the human factor (because they think #AI #Sustainability #HumanFactor #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

There is a lot of (correct) talk about the role of evangelicals in supporting and electing Trump and his authoritarianism. But we are not nearly enough talking about the role of the Eastern European Orthodoxy in the promotion of authoritarianism. #Evangelicals #Authoritarianism #EasternOrthodoxy #US #EE

I mean: What a treasure of information, but also of entertainment, is no longer available because of this. Insane. (translated)

You got conned. He was never interested in helping democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela or anywhere. He is dismantling democracy and the rule of law in the US. Why would he be interested in them in other countries? He always wanted the oil. #Democracy #Venezuela #OilPolitics #VE #US

The danger of secular religions like communism, fascism, or (AI) technicism is that in them, revelation is absolute. The Deus Absconditus, which every true religion must have, is missing. (translated)
