Ah, das ist sehr wichtig:

Erstmals verhängt die EU-Kommission eine Geldbuße gegen eine Social-Media-Plattform aus den USA - und zwar wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Services Act

Elon Musks Plattform soll 120 Millionen Euro zahlen - wenn X nicht genügend nachjustiert, drohen weitere Strafen

Commission fines X €120 million under the Digital Services Act
Today, the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Fond Memoires of Twitter, als Steven Pinker alle Accounts geblockt hat, die die kumpeligen Fotos von ihm & Epstein gepostet haben & gedroht hat, unsere Accounts suspendieren zu lassen. Aber origineller Denker, dieser EvoPsych-Genius, das erkennt man als SZ-Feuilletonne ja schon an den Haaren.

Great episode that has lodged in my brain the idea that Harari is just Joe Rogan for people who want feel smart instead of feeling like they’re funny
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.

Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.
Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley.
The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI.
