Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that his company has been working with AI assistants since March and initially switched the entire development team to AI. Since then, among other things, the research, export, and import software as well as the SAP export have been newly developed or automated. The carve-out export software and the data encryption tool have also been revised. In addition, the company has developed AI-driven software that automatically uploads standardized SAP, Navision, and other reports into databases. For the migration of the research software, a dedicated tool and an automated testing tool have been created. Boeminghaus also mentioned an automatic deletion software for SAP HCM and improvements in automatic deletion within the research software. With the help of AI, the company has also increased the security of its data center. Before the use of AI, there were 45 software developers; now there are only 14 AI developers. Since many projects have been implemented, Boeminghaus has asked the sales team for urgently needed new ideas and requirements. Furthermore, the project management is currently being restructured and is to be monitored by AI assistants starting in January. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #SoftwareEntwicklung #Automatisierung (translated)

RCraven1 wrote that Emmanuel Macron persuaded Friedrich Merz to make concessions on the easing of the ban on combustion engines starting in 2035 and received support for stricter European production regulations in return. However, France is already pursuing a different strategy: In September, 42 percent of new registrations were pure electric cars, and Renault is increasing electric car production due to demand. Macron is also ensuring that batteries and as many vehicle components as possible will be produced in Europe in the future. Merz, however, continues to fight for the combustion engine, even though the challenges for the German automotive industry, according to the author, lie in batteries, software, production costs, and increasing competition from China. RCraven1 suggested that France not only wants to sell electric cars but also wants to profit from their production. He asked whether Merz had realized that Macron was conceding on a technology from which France is increasingly turning away and receiving concessions on future technologies in return. #Elektroautos #Automobilindustrie #Zukunftstechnologien (translated)

Maxim Röder wrote that a graphic shows why he was still carefree and fully invested in 2023 and 2024, but is now thinking more about it. He explained that the planned investments from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle have reached historically unprecedented levels. As risks, Röder mentioned that annual investments of one trillion dollars required revenues from AI software amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. Additionally, chips with cycles of three to six years could later burden operating margins due to depreciations. He questioned how much free cash flow would remain for stock buybacks when the funds were flowing into data centers and transformers. Röder wrote that no one knows how the developments will turn out. However, the risk today is significantly higher than in 2023, 2024, or 2025. #Investitionen #BigTech #Risiko (translated)
