It is said that the final years are the costliest. Finally I researched it...turns out, death is truly expensive.
The (German) data indicates a massive accumulation of health care expenses at the end. Healthcare costs are concentrated in the final year, nearly half in the final month.

Ich habe mir Gedanken über die neuen Health-AIs bei niedergelassenen Ärzten gemacht.
Wie diese die Arzt-Patient-Beziehung fundamental verändern werden und warum wir diese Entwicklung dennoch nicht aufhalten sollten.

Great article that offers a historical look at the extraordinary 20th-century blueprint. We are shifting to a 19th-century world of 'spheres of influence' that makes the Cold War look stable. A great read on what may happen when what we take for granted fails.

Who would expect a paid AI account from a tech giant to rank so low? That explains why many still think AI is barely good enough.

After listening to the interview with Rombas CEO, I feel their downfall came from prioritizing capital markets over customer.
E.g. selling separate vacuum and mop units when customers wanted integrated devices. They also didn't use LiDAR, opting for cameras. Propably to collect more customer data.

Food for thought: AI has become corporate America's Ozempic– as GLP-1 agonists suppress the instinct to keep eating, AI is switching off the corporate reflex that growth must equal hiring. For decades, the equation was automatic: 8% revenue growth meant 6% more headcount. With AI this reflex is off.

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?

Russland möchte gerne Telegram und WhatsApp aus Russland verbannen und die User zur Nutzung des staatlichen Messengers "Max" zwingen. Man geht aber subtiler vor: Mehrmals pro Woche werden Telegram und WhatsApp vom Netz getrennt und Influencer, wie die Rapperin "Instasamka", promoten "Max" offensiv.

Today, 70 years ago Albert Einstein passed away. Einstein was a critical mind, a humanitarian, a challenger.
In a strange, little-known post-mortem, his brain was illegally removed, sliced into 240 pieces, and stored for decades…in a basement in Kansas.
In this video, he explains E=mc² himself. ⚛️

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.
