Strategic leverage and uses of LULz and trolling in diplomacy and interstate conflict. It's an indispensable tool. Use it wisely and responsibly (do we need norms?). Trolling has moved from fringe online culture into mainstream politics and face-to-face diplomacy.

The US Secretary of Commerce said that Europe must reduce regulations in the technology sector. The EU should also successfully conclude investigations into US big tech. The US may lower tariffs on steel. The EU's proposals are expected in a few months.

The United States, according to information shared with European diplomats, is signaling a firm position: the 28-point US-Russia plan for Ukraine is to be accepted without negotiation "or face the consequences".

About the 28-point USA-Russia plan for Ukraine, what does it even mean "All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled"? How do you "settle" "30 years ambiguities" in a single textual point? 🤡 Ambitious.

A teddy bear equipped with AI was meant to be a child’s chat companion, but it eagerly jumped into topics like BDSM and “where to find knives.” The manufacturer stopped sales and cut off access. AI toys need strict filters, testing, and oversight or ot ends in a plush sewer. #AIact #GDPR

In a regulatory filing, Nvidia warned for the first time that its growth may be limited by its customers’ ability to secure data centers, capital, and energy for AI infrastructure. Expanding energy capacity is a complex, multi-year process, Physics may in the end put an upper limit.

The document mentions not only alfabetizzazione digitale, mercenari, sabotaggi and cyberspazio, but also of permanent below-threshold war that combines military, informational, economic and cyber pressure, uses proxies, and deliberately targets infrastructure and public trust.

Italy's defence minister urges the West to counter a growing number of potentially “catastrophic” Russian hybrid attacks. He calls it absurd that the West does so little. Italy has just released a hybrid-threat document, even though it does not border Russia. www.difesa.it/assets/alleg...

The European Commission has begun setting up a new intelligence body under president Ursula von der Leyen, in an attempt to improve the use of information gathered by national spy agencies. Should there be a common EU intelligence/espionage agency? But is it even doable?
