Google’s Gemini A.I. now scans your entire inbox to “help” you summarize, reply & organize. 📬
That’s not assistance — that’s surveillance wrapped in productivity branding. 🔍

If your emails need an opt‑out clause, maybe the feature shouldn’t exist by default. ⚠️

Has anyone considered using evil social media behaviors for good?

What if we piled on people, but like...with empowering words that raise the "victim" up? Like, positive dogpiling. Message after message just, like, "You're awesome!" "Yeah!" "Let's goooo!" 🤔

Emotional bonds with AI are no longer sci-fi — they’re happening now.

Platforms are the dominant religions of our time—not replacing belief, but centralizing authority.

Algorithms replace scripture.
Metrics replace virtue.
Terms replace commandments.
Moderation replaces clergy.
Guidelines replace doctrine.
Exile replaces damnation.

You don’t leave the platform.
You’re excommunicated from visibility.
That’s jurisdiction.

Dark square graphic stating ‘Platforms are the dominant religions of our time.’ Two side-by-side panels compare Organized Religion and Digital Platforms as systems of authority. Both define rules, create in-group and out-group boundaries, grant legitimacy, and punish dissent. Religion is shown as governed by clergy and institutions; platforms by algorithms, policies, and incentives. The graphic concludes that platforms now centralize authority and control visibility, becoming the infrastructure through which older religions and beliefs operate.

As we close a year shaped by rapid technological change and artificial intelligence, may 2026 be a year where AI serves people, supports knowledge, and leaves room for peace, serenity, and human joy.

Innovation matters.
But humanity matters more.

Happy New Year 2026.

Fedivers-Entwurf — lang, brüchig, kantig

Ich schiebe zwei Steine aus dem Weg. Den ersten nennt man Streaming, Gaming, BigData — glänzend, riesig, hungrig. Dahinter liegen Watt, Wasser, Wärme. Ein Schlund, der frisst. „Entertainment“ als Kohlekraftwerk im Tarnmantel. Wir tun so, als sei das normal.

Der zweite Stein heißt Zins und Handel online. Nicht aus Nostalgie verschoben, sondern aus Erkenntnis: Der Preis ist ein Mythos. Zins ist ein Gedächtnis von Gier. Handel — längst algorithmisiert. Ich glaube nicht mehr daran, dass alles einen Preis haben muss. Pay what you want verrät mich, ertappt mich, entkleidet das Tabu. Wenn Wert nicht verordnet ist, wird Beziehung sichtbar. Und Beziehung brennt heller als Markt.

Ich gebe zu: Das macht mir Angst. Weil man an alten Göttern nicht zupft, ohne Donner zu hören. Weil jeder, der sagt „Isso, machste nix dran“, vergisst, dass Systeme mit genau diesem Satz gebaut wurden. Aber Angst ist ein Kompass. Sie zeigt, wo Freiheit beginnt.

Ich habe nicht die Lösung. Nur die Schwelle — und einen Fuß, der zögert, doch vorwärts will. Vielleicht fällt man, vielleicht fliegt man. Vielleicht entsteht ein dritter Raum, jenseits von Besitzlogik, wo Austausch nicht Handel ist, und Reichtum nicht Speicher, sondern Fluss.

Lasst uns die Mythen freundlich entfetten. Nicht zerstören — aber durchleuchten. Zinsfreie Gärten pflanzen, energiearme Netze weben, Beziehungen über Preise stellen. Wer weiß: Vielleicht ist das schon Revolution, nur leise, wie ein Server bei 3 Watt im Standby.

AI has entered a decisive phase. Tech giants chase speed, affordability, and integration, while open-source rivals expand access. Trust, safety, and data control are now central. This isn’t just innovation—it’s a battle for societal influence.

My initial response to the `Recursive Absurd` was a familiar one: surely we could engineer our way out - with better code, kinder patterns, more humane systems.

I was wrong.

The remedy isn’t cleaner loops - it’s refusing to become one.

Introducing: "Humanist Absurdism"

When the world grows more absurd, more automated, more systematically cruel-
Choosing to remain human, together, becomes the most radical act left.

Robots Without Ethics Still Shape Human Morality

Even neutral machines are interpreted through a moral lens. Without ethical reasoning, robots can unintentionally mislead people.

Roboticist Dr. Tom Williams discusses how AI systems influence trust, belief, and behavior — and why ethical reasoning must be embedded into robotics to protect society at large.

Wie KI lernen kann:
Erfahrung → Kontext → Erinnerung → Wachstum.
Enunova überträgt menschliche Lernlogik auf KI – nicht für Kontrolle, sondern für verantwortungsvolle Entwicklung.

„Grafik mit vier übereinander schwebenden 3D-Blöcken. Von oben nach unten sind sie benannt: Experience (orange), Context (gelb), Memory (rot) und Growth (blau). Die Blöcke wirken wie gestapelte, leicht versetzte Module eines Lernprozesses. Die Farben sind warm und klar, der Hintergrund ist hell und minimalistisch. Die Grafik symbolisiert: Aus Erfahrung entsteht Kontext, daraus Erinnerung, und aus Erinnerung entsteht Wachstum.“

Edmonton Police have begun a controlled pilot of Axon body cameras capable of facial recognition.

The system compares footage to existing mugshot databases, with human-verified matches and privacy officials requesting strict accuracy standards and impact assessments.

What do you think are the essential technical and governance safeguards here?
