Die Bundesregierung hält sich nicht an ihre Zusage, Afghan:innen aufzunehmen, die unter dem Taliban-Regime gefährdet sind. Das ist gesetzwidrig.

Kolumne: Friedrich Merz findet, Deutschland müsse erst einmal nicht mehr so viel für die Zukunft der Menschheit tun: Unser Anteil an den Emissionen sei doch so klein. Das ist ein miserables Argument: rücksichts- und verantwortungslos, kurzsichtig (auch ökonomisch) - und falsch.

Friedrich Merz findet, Deutschland müsse erst einmal nicht mehr so viel für die Zukunft der Menschheit tun: Unser Anteil an den Emissionen sei doch so klein. Das ist ein sehr schlechtes Argument.

I've changed my mind about AI. I now believe it will be able to replace programmers. I asked Grok a question and it responded by forgetting how to use its own API, spending 3 minutes trying to read the documentation in-between failed attempts at getting it to work, then just gave up entirely. It's just like me fr.

#Merz meinte, Deutschlands Beitrag zur #Klimakrise wäre mit 2% der CO2-Emissionen irrelevant und schneller Klimaschutz in Deutschland würde keine Klimakatastrophe verhindern. Wissenschaftlich nicht korrekt. Aber dennoch spannender Gedanke. Mein Beitrag zum Steueraufkommen liegt deutlich unter 2%, also irrelevant. Ist das jetzt ein Freibrief zur Steuerhinterziehung?

Darf ich mir einen Hinweis erlauben. Ich trage ungefähr 0,000000001% zum gesamten Steuervolumen von Deutschland bei. Selbst wenn ich morgen keine Steuern mehr zahle würde, würde keine einzige Schule weniger gebaut, würde keine einzige Straße weniger saniert werden.

WaPo has a good story about how an impostor pretending to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio contacted foreign ministers, a U.S. governor and a member of Congress by sending them voice and text messages that mimic Rubio’s voice and writing style using artificial intelligence-powered software.

From the story:

"Using both text messaging and the encrypted messaging app Signal, which the Trump administration uses extensively, the impostor “contacted at least five non-Department individuals, including three foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a U.S. member of Congress,” said the cable, dated July 3."

"The impersonation campaign began in mid-June when the impostor created a Signal account using the display name “Marco.Rubio@state.gov” to contact unsuspecting foreign and domestic diplomats and politicians, said the cable. The display name is not his real email address."

“The actor left voicemails on Signal for at least two targeted individuals and in one instance, sent a text message inviting the individual to communicate on Signal,” said the cable. It also noted that other State Department personnel were impersonated using email."

I think this article pretty well sums up my own feelings about LLMs and the current push towards more generative AI. https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/

Pretty sure all these #AI guys have utterly misconstrued what art is. They think it's just information/data, but it's not: it's a process; it's a manifestation of interwoven conscious & unconscious thoughts that have ripened in a human mind, sometimes for decades. And the result is an interaction with another human mind, a dialogue. 1/3
