The author wrote that China is in the process of catching up with Europe in research and technology, including artificial intelligence, robotics, electric cars, solar energy, and exports. Together with the research committee, he will visit leading companies and research institutions on-site starting tomorrow. Germany has a lot of potential and can achieve more, he wrote. https://t.co/aLwRxfwuE1 #Forschung #Technologie #Innovation #CN #DE (translated)

The author wrote that Paris has consistently expanded bicycle traffic more than Berlin. This reduces CO₂ emissions and fine dust, promotes health through more exercise, and makes transportation faster and more economical. #Fahrrad #Umweltschutz #Gesundheit #FR #DE (translated)

The author wrote that AI will greatly devalue performance in areas such as mathematics and economics. Since it will be involved in all breakthroughs, the human contribution will become increasingly unclear and uninteresting. This will make it more difficult to motivate young people to pursue a degree. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Bildung #Zukunft #DE (translated)

The author wrote that without a climate turnaround, Germany is in danger of becoming a museum, with a bankrupt economy, companies that have moved abroad, rusty combustion engines in a Cuban style, and very high gas and oil bills. It would be enough for Russia to become impoverished; Germany should have a sustainable future. #Klimawende #Nachhaltigkeit #Zukunft #DE #RU #CU (translated)

The author wrote that the market for internal combustion engines is dying very quickly in China and will also collapse in Europe. He described the fight among lobbyists as an own goal. In his opinion, an early and clear end date for the combustion engine would have provided German manufacturers with planning safety and incentives. https://t.co/W6mYknAp4d #Energiewende #Umweltschutz #Automobilindustrie #CN #DE #EU (translated)

The author wrote that Germany currently has the lowest debt among the G7 countries and the second-highest growth. The crime rate is also low. He accused the AfD and its trolls of spreading propaganda against Germany, which serves only foreign enemies. #Deutschland #G7 #Wachstum #DE #G7 (translated)

The article referred to a new UNICEF study, which stated that the state loses up to 300,000 euros per child if they grow up in poverty. This results in the loss of education, health, life expectancy, and income, wrote the author. He described this as a great economic and ethical failure that must be stopped. https://t.co/yYKooF9qi0 https://t.co/fEG5PfXcY3 #Bildung #Armut #Gesundheit #DE (translated)

The author wrote that a very large and well-conducted study clearly shows that a mobile phone ban in the classroom significantly improves learning success. According to this, socially disadvantaged students benefit the most. Therefore, successful school policy must begin with such a ban, which costs nothing and is effective, he explained. https://t.co/LiPJJVqgZr #Bildung #Schule #Lernen #DE (translated)

The author wrote that the military use of AI is manifested in unusual ways: Houthi militias have apparently used Anthropic Claude to steer rockets precisely towards Saudi Arabia. He also stated that large AI systems would soon be able to run on laptops without an internet connection. https://t.co/quvUyvPmdg https://t.co/RYeiJhL7ut #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Militär #Technologie #SA (translated)

The author wrote that the criticism of Bärbel Bas had been expressed both behind the scenes and publicly. Everyone was aware of her private situation. With her, one loses a sensitive and honest minister, he explained. No one should be attacked for caring for a dying person. https://t.co/2KD8hdtoA2 #BärbelBas #Politik #Empathie #DE (translated)

Prof. Karl Lauterbach 2w

The author wrote that Bärbel Bas' resignation concerns everyone and that she represents like few others the values and the promise of advancement of the SPD. At the same time, the resignation shows that increasing personal attacks, despite the harshness of politics, lead to the wrong people entering politics. https://t.co/46dJpMXmgf https://t.co/S5xhcSGXOC #SPD #Politik #Rücktritt #DE (translated)

The author wrote that Hape Kerkeling's grandfather was a communist and a Catholic, politically persecuted, and ended up in Buchenwald. The National Socialists had defamed him as a cattle thief. The author referred to the AfD as "new Nazis" and accused them of defaming Kerkeling in the same tradition. He also wrote that with the death of truth, people would later also die. https://t.co/3chl9DX1aR https://t.co/mdTaqulZ6q #Geschichte #Politik #Buchenwald #DE (translated)

The author described it as a significant achievement that Germany has drastically reduced coal power generation despite the phase-out of nuclear energy. In his assessment, a renaissance of nuclear power will not happen, as neither the economy nor the state can afford it. #Energie #Klimaschutz #Atomkraft #DE (translated)

The author wrote that after the introduction of a wealth tax, no wave of emigration among the wealthy was to be expected. Small fortunes of people with middle incomes would be completely consumed for care, while large fortunes remained untouched. He described a wealth tax to improve schools as reasonable and fair. #Vermögenssteuer #Bildung #Gerechtigkeit #DE (translated)

Prof. Karl Lauterbach 2w

The author wrote that lobby groups have an influence on the healthcare system. He explained that statutory health insurance costs 1 billion euros per day. Patients, caregivers, psychotherapists, and women have the weakest lobby; when cuts are made, it usually starts with them. This must not remain the case, he added. #Gesundheitssystem #Patientenrechte #Pflegekräfte #DE (translated)

The author claimed that employees at OpenAI would be dismissed if they spoke openly with security agencies. Therefore, the name "Closed.AI" would probably be more fitting, he wrote. To avoid becoming dependent on such companies, one must develop their own models. He also asked what the Minister of Economic Affairs was doing. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #OpenAI #Technologie #DE (translated)

The author warned that a minority government in Germany would, in his opinion, provoke the chaos that internal and external enemies of the state were longing for. At the same time, he questioned why the AfD should support a CDU that he viewed as being in decline in such a government. #Deutschland #Politik #Minderheitsregierung #DE (translated)

The author wrote that China could produce 60 million cars annually, but the capacities are only utilized at 50 percent. Therefore, the country will do everything to further increase its exports. #China #Autoindustrie #Export #CN (translated)

The author wrote that OpenAI had fired a security chief who had warned about the dangers of AI agents. He considered it extremely naive to leave AI regulation to the companies themselves and warned that European rules could drive US AI providers out of the market. Europe needed its own top models; no costs should be spared for this. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Regulierung #Technologie #EU #US (translated)

The author wrote that BMW does not provide a company car to the state parliament president of Saxony-Anhalt, whom he described as right-wing extremist. He praised this stance and said it was missing in parts of politics. https://t.co/aIFQygE2Y2 #BMW #Politik #Verantwortung #DE (translated)
