Hello to those who found me here. I am a particle physicist at CERN working on the @lhcb.bsky.social experiment and on future accelerators. In particular I worry about sustainability.

I'm also chairing the advisory committee of the 12000 CERN users.

The German grassroots campaign organisation Campact has won a preliminary injunction against X.AI. The case started cause Grok had generated and shared untrue statements about Campact. The court ruled that X.AI was responsible and had to stop Grok from making false statements about Campact.

Gute Nachricht: Wir haben gegen Elon Musks KI vor Gericht gewonnen.

Das Landgericht Hamburg sagt klar: Auch eine KI darf keine Lügen verbreiten – und die dahinter stehende Firma haftet im Zweifel dafür.

Unser Rechtsstaat funktioniert. Auch gegen Milliardenkonzerne mit Gottkomplex.

I'd bet on a poet turned singer because poetry doesn't sell. Like Leonard Cohen did. Then hardly known as the music isn't that good. To be found in some underground bar or so.

🎖️ The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis!

The laureates used a series of experiments to demonstrate that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand.
