Torsten Heinrich wrote that the image of two undressed seniors was obviously created with artificial intelligence. However, this did not change his assessment that looting and arson justified a consistent intervention by the state – even if no 80-year-olds had been undressed. He questioned why someone had created such an image with ChatGPT, as the actual actions were already bad enough, and thus no more serious crimes had been alleged. His disappointment with the passivity of the French state towards criminals was independent of that. Regarding comments, Heinrich wrote that some took the fake image as an excuse to dismiss the outrage over the riots altogether, as if the destructions could be undone by it. This gave the image an unexpected political significance. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

Just briefly: I know that some are returning to Elon Musk's X – also because a part of the AI scene is there. In my opinion, there are many ethical reasons against actively using X. For example: This platform enabled the largest wave of sexualized deepfakes we've ever experienced, just this year. (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that the federal government has since confirmed that pensioners in Russia have 200 euros deducted from their pensions each month. When he inquired at the government press conference in September, he was initially told that this was merely his claim. As evidence, Warweg referred to a subsequent statement from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs regarding questions from the government press conferences on September 28 and October 5, 2026. The ministry stated that fees would be deducted for transfers of statutory pensions from Germany to accounts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Russia. The bank justified this with higher compliance risks and additional auditing and processing efforts. Despite efforts, alternative payment methods that could avoid the fees have not been found. According to the statement, statutory pensions would be transferred free of charge within the SEPA area. For payments outside this area, the benefit provider bears the costs up to the commissioned financial institution; fees from further correspondent banks are not covered by the German Pension Insurance or the Pension Service. Affected individuals could have their pension transferred to an account in another country, provided they meet the personal requirements and can set up an account there, according to the ministry. Warweg asked why the ministry initially labeled the deduction as an unfounded claim and then acknowledged it about two weeks later. He noted that the ministry had provided the supplementary information, while the Foreign Office, despite a commitment, had not sent any follow-up and later declared itself not responsible. The inquiry was about what advice it would give to affected German pensioners in Russia. #Rentner #Bundesregierung #Russland (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how to present saving as minimalism. He suggested that instead of talking about a reluctance to spend money, one should emphasize the lack of need for possessions, while referring to a few identical clothes as a capsule wardrobe. According to the author, one can also explain not buying a new phone by stating that the current one meets all needs and allows one to resist marketing. Among the examples, he mentioned refusing to go out to restaurants due to noise and crowds, forgoing vacations in protest against mass tourism, and proposing family holidays without gifts. He jokingly suggested limiting household items to a minimum while simultaneously accumulating ETF units. He advised responding to questions about driving the same car for 15 years with a question about the motivation to buy a new SUV, adding that one can have a functioning Skoda oneself. The post was tagged with the hashtag #FIRE. #FIRE #minimalizm #oszczędzanie #stylżycia (translated)

Mounir Laggoune wrote that he spent a month in the United States working on Finary's artificial intelligence. He believed that, despite its flaws, the country was driven by a strong energy of construction, whereas in France, in his view, the cities were ravaged. He attributed this situation to fifty years of disastrous political decisions, made by both the left and the right, and deemed it unlikely that officials who had been in power for years could change everything. He identified as a fundamental cause a state that, in his opinion, taxed and managed everything, while living on credit since 1974. He argued that the French debt reached 3.6 trillion euros, or 119% of GDP and a record. He also compared the 21 million private sector employees to the 6 million public agents, 3.3 million unemployed, and 17 million retirees. Without change, he warned, dark days awaited the country. However, Laggoune said he remained hopeful, mentioning the know-how, culture, and history of France as well as the interest the world would have in it. He called on the silent majority that works quietly and finances what he referred to as a "circus" to make their voices heard. He announced that the Finary channel would analyze the economic programs of the parties, backed by figures, and said he wanted to give a major oral exam in economics to each candidate. He added that he doubted they would accept. #France #Économie #Politique (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that she received a response from the police headquarters regarding the attack on a 14-year-old student in Frankfurt (Oder), but most of her questions remained unanswered. According to the response, the attacked boy was 14 years old and a German citizen; he was attacked by at least ten youths. None of the suspects attended the school in front of which the attack took place. Investigations are being conducted for dangerous bodily harm and robbery, as the suspects reached into the boy's pocket. Further questions regarding the suspects were not answered, citing their age. According to Kussmann, the police headquarters also did not provide any information about the boy's health condition, explaining this with reasons related to personal rights. She wrote that she intends to inquire again elsewhere. #FrankfurtOder #Schülerangriff #Polizei (translated)

Jacek Zarzecki wrote that the prosecutor's office was considering the return of animals taken from the Łączna Zoo and transported abroad, depending on their health condition. He accused the prosecutor's office in Świdnica of getting caught up in the games and interests of organizations working for animal rights. He also criticized the operation in which — as he described — police cars, arrests, and organizations that presented it as rescuing animals were involved. Zarzecki stated that the animals were taken first and only later did they start thinking about further steps, and he called for a change in the law and a limitation of organizations' impunity. #OchronaZwierząt #Polska #Prawo (translated)
