Three moths ago, after the Open AI/Hugging Face incident, I half-joked that AI firms had solved the conundrum of all profit projections coming nowhere near the colossal sums invested, by pivoting from AI-as-Hero to AI-as-Menace, from which only more AI can give protection. Joke has aged pretty well.

The author wrote that TikTok and other platforms are currently being flooded with such calls and warned against drawing hasty conclusions. The matter could also have been arranged from above. As a hint, he pointed out that in France and Italy numerous businesses, including small shops, have been destroyed; in his view, this does not correspond to government criticism. https://t.co/Q0sDtCceKA #TikTok #Frankreich #Regierung #FR #IT (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Barclays is cutting around 5,000 jobs, even though the British banking giant is reporting billion-pound profits. This represents about five percent of the global workforce: 1,000 positions have already been eliminated, and a further 4,000 are expected to follow by the end of 2026. About 60 percent of the cuts will affect support functions, including software development. The British retail banking sector and administrative areas in India are particularly affected. According to Boeminghaus, Barclays reported a profit of 2.3 billion pounds for the third quarter. Group CEO CS Venkatakrishnan announced plans to extensively implement artificial intelligence in the future. However, the bank described the cuts as part of a larger modernization program, not solely a result of AI. Further efficiency measures are expected to yield savings of 1.1 billion pounds by 2027. Boeminghaus noted that the job cuts show that high profits do not protect jobs from automation. He cited BBC from October 22, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/K80tDzqvMu #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Stellenabbau #Banken (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German battery storage manufacturer Sonnen filed for bankruptcy on October 22, 2026. He pointed to a decline in revenue from 443 million euros in 2023 to 198.9 million euros in 2024, as well as a negative EBITDA of 188.7 million euros. For 2025, he estimated the operating loss at 52.2 million euros. Around 400 employees at the Wildpoldsried site were informed about the bankruptcy application; at the beginning of 2026, Sonnen still employed a total of 800 employees, down from 1,318 previously. Boeminghaus noted that Shell acquired Sonnen in 2019 for just under 500 million euros and then invested more than half a billion euros. In August 2026, Shell sold the company to Tiven. Two months later, the bankruptcy followed, according to Boeminghaus. He also mentioned that Chinese competitors were gaining market share while the US business was to remain largely intact. Boeminghaus described Sonnen as a German technology pioneer and viewed the case as a failure of the energy transition. He cited Handelsblatt from October 22, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/c1iEyGLijQ #Insolvenz #Energiewende #Batteriespeicher (translated)
