Both can be true btw: - AI doomers at #OpenAI, #Anthropic etc might be trying to use AI fears to achieve "regulatory capture", freeze out the competition / have an excuse for investors for not making money - People at #AI companies may be legitimately scared of losing control #AIDoom #RegulatoryCapture #AIConcerns #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweet.

If the right wing of the CDU gets its way, it will be the end of the Christian Democrats in Germany and the best thing that can happen to the AfD. It is driving me insane. Incorrigible. (translated)

Air gapping all frontier #AI models vs. air gapping anything and everything that could cause major harm when hacked should be an easy choice, really. #AI #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement

Whether one really believes in the impending downfall of humanity due to AI or not: Building extremely powerful super hackers without moral, legal, or any other constraints that can no longer be controlled and whose motives are not understood - very, very stupid. (translated)

So even high profile people working for @OpenAI would prefer „shutting it all down“ to just continuing down the path they are currently on. If OpenAI, Anthropic, Musk et al really are that worried, maybe they could start lobbying for international regulation SERIOUSLY, not on X? #OpenAI #AIRegulation #TechEthics #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Imagine a representative of ANY other company from ANY other industry (cars, food, medicine, electronics, you name it) stating "there is a 10 percent chance that our product will kill everybody" and still expect investment, approval, no regulation and plenty of customers. #BusinessEthics #ConsumerSafety #ProductResponsibility #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Column: Many AfD voters live in a (strategically created) parallel reality. This is dangerous for democracy, which cannot function without a factual basis. Other parties can only stop this trend by sticking to the facts themselves. Especially the Chancellor. (translated)

Therefore, the attempts to combat renewable energies and electrification are becoming increasingly frantic and hysterical. It is happening faster than the oil companies thought. (translated)

Own genre by now: Aging ego-journalist incessantly rants about evil "elites," decadent "milieus," "left-green" conspiracies and the "silent majority," while and because a super-rich person holds a protective hand over him. (translated)

Electric cars are CO2-free in operation when the electricity is generated from renewable sources. That was the case yesterday, is the case today, and will be the case tomorrow. But if that is "your" study, you can surely explain why it is published in "Bild" and not in a peer-reviewed journal? (translated)

This is indeed remarkable. I don't understand how politicians who can't stick to the facts want to oppose a party whose core identity is based on constant lying. "You can believe us" would indeed be a nice USP against the #AfD. (translated)

For everyone who keeps saying "it's just El Niño": The El Niños measured since 1982 are included in the blue curve bundle. It really isn't that hard to understand. The red is now. This is what the #climatecrisis looks like. (translated)

It is quite easy for most people to see from these graphs what makes electricity expensive in Germany. It is NOT the renewable energies. And nuclear power would NOT make electricity cheaper either. The problem is dependency on gas and delayed grid expansion. (translated)

Column: Even those who believe in large battery storage have dramatically underestimated their rapid growth. Current connection commitments already indicate a growth factor of 27 for Germany. This will fundamentally change the electricity system (whether K. Reiche wants it or not). (translated)

От прогресивна перспектива отхвърлянето на юнското споразумение и залагането на морска блокада и икономически „натиск“ от Тръмп е опасна, неефективна стратегия, която наказва цивилни, укрепва екстремистите и подкопава шансовете за траен мир — вместо това трябва незабавно да се възобнови дипломацията, да се осигури хуманитарно облекчение и да се търси спиране на огъня.

This text is from 2019. Unfortunately, it is more relevant than ever. There are a few interesting numbers in it. (translated)

The Merz Union is the party that actively works towards Germany continuing to contribute to the intensification of the #climate crisis, not its combat. Meanwhile, large parts of their core clientele (older people, farmers) will particularly suffer under the accelerating heat. (translated)

The death struggle of the oil industry against the cheaper, cleaner, and unbelievably fast-growing competition is being funded by American tax dollars. Read #MenWhoBurnTheWorld, and you will understand why. (translated)

This column is from 2019. The "Science" paper about synthetic viruses described today in the "FT" was released yesterday. The most important science of the 21st century will not be "AI" but machine learning-based #biotechnology. As fascinating as it is creepy. (translated)

One could almost think that a chancellor without the ability to lead or even effective and appropriate personnel management has hired a minister with the same qualities. (translated)
