Ich hab Jimmy Wales vor ca 20 Jahren mal für meine Diss zu Wikipedia interviewt und auf die Frage, welche:r Philosoph:in ihn am meisten beeinflusst hat, antwortete er Ayn Rand und irgendwie passt das jetzt auch alles.

Die breite zivilgesellschaftliche Ablehnung der #Chatkontrolle & der Protest der letzten Tage haben offenbar Wirkung gezeigt.

(1/8) Als deutsche Behörde #Palantir einzusetzen ist sicherheitspolitischer Wahnsinn. Statt wichtige polizeiliche Infrastruktur in die Hände des Unternehmens von Demokratiefeind #Thiel zu geben, brauchen wir unverzüglich eine gemeinsame europäische Lösung.

No words left for this engineered horror.

"More than 100 aid groups have called on governments to take urgent action as Israel's forced 'mass starvation' of Palestinians engulfs Gaza. The groups warned that deepening starvation of the population was spreading across the besieged enclave."

The absence of Germany in this joint statement is unforgiveable. The lessons we should have learned from our darkest past does not only consist in a historical duty towards Israel, but most importantly in the duty to speak out & prevent war crimes & genocides from occuring

Doctors in Gaza are warning hundreds of babies are at risk of death. Israel is blocking deliveries of baby formula - formula that’s needed because their mothers are either dead or too malnourished to feed them.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

#1 You can‘t make this shit up. On my way home from two very different conferences - one one judgement and courage at the Einstein Forum, the other on policy modeling and reasoning in Dagstuhl - I can‘t help to wonder whether one can and should still spend time on AI.

Alligator Alcatraz.

"If that sounds like a direct-to-streaming Nic Cage film, it is not. Alligator Alcatraz is a detention center for migrants surrounded by the kind of lethal wildlife Trump once 'joked' about using in the Rio Grande to deter border crossings."

Now that "joke" is a cruel reality.
