The author said there was no solid evidence that Russian bot farms had become inactive following strikes on Yandex data centres. They added that Cloudflare charts largely reflected web crawler activity, which they said was largely unrelated to automated posting. #CyberSecurity #RussianBots #DataAnalysis #RU

Hätte nicht gedacht, dass Oliver Pocher so große Eier hat! 😂 Er äußerte sich im Podcast „TOMorrow – Business. Stars. Lifestyle“ zum ÖRR, zu Böhnermann und dem AfD-Framing! Er ist der Meinung rund acht Milliarden Euro Rundfunkbeitrag für ein Angebot, das viele kaum noch nutzen ist nicht in Ordnung. Netflix ist kaum teurer, aber freiwillig. Außerdem hält er Klamroths Beziehung zu Luisa Neubauer für problematisch. Wäre Klamroth mit Alice Weidel liiert, käme er seiner Meinung nach nicht mal mehr ins Studio. Viele Menschen fühlen sich bevormundet und dürfen nur noch sagen, was „en vogue“ ist! Ihm geht das ständige Label „gesichert rechtsextreme AfD“ in Talkshows auf die Nerven! Das Ende von „ZDF Magazin Royale“ nennt er überfällig. Böhmermann hat zuletzt nur noch seine eigene Agenda durchgesetzt, mit der Nazi-Keule gearbeitet und Leute fertiggemacht. Böhnermann hat es einfach übertrieben. Die linke Bubble zerbröselt. In manchen Berichten fällt zusätzlich der Satz: „Ich glaube, Jan Böhmermann wäre ein super Nazi.“​ Na sowas aber auch!... #OliverPocher #Böhmermann #Podcasts

Researchers proved AI has deleted every reason universities exist. Harvard University ran a controlled experiment pitting a custom AI against their own top-tier classrooms. And the results are going to collapse the higher education bubble. They took 194 undergraduates and split them up. One group learned physics in one of Harvard’s best hands-on, active-learning physical classrooms. Group work. Instructor support. The premium university experience. The other group went home and learned the exact same material with an AI tutor. The AI didn't just win. It embarrassed the institution. Students using the AI learned more than twice as much as the students in the elite Harvard classroom. They scored 30% higher on the final assessment. And they did it in less time. Let that sink in. A piece of software sitting on a laptop outperformed a world-class faculty in one of the most elite learning environments on Earth. Universities have always justified their exorbitant tuition with two things: access to elite knowledge and the physical classroom experience. This study just proved both of those moats are gone. When software can teach you complex physics twice as well as a $60,000-a-year institution, the math of higher education breaks permanently. The AI didn't just give the students answers. It used strict pedagogical guardrails. It guided. It questioned. It forced the students to do the cognitive work. It offered perfect, one-to-one tutoring, personalized to the exact moment a student misunderstood a concept. That level of attention is mathematically impossible to scale in a physical lecture hall. For a thousand years, the university was the only place to get a premium education. Now, it’s the bottleneck. If AI can double your learning speed for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are students taking on decades of debt to pay for? https://x.com/thesupermannx/status/2104519995292344521

AI is massively dangerous on multiple levels. Donald Trump is the only one denying this and we know why. Needs to keep the tech bubble around it inflated, to keep the markets over-inflated, so he and his mates make a lot more money. Playing with fire by now. #AI #Trump #DangersOfTech #US

The Return to Feudalism in 21st Century Garb A simple observer's viewpoint, with no claim to hold any absolute truth. The Veneer Cracks There is something strangely archaic about the world unfolding before our eyes, despite its satellites, artificial intelligence, and promises of infinite progress. Here and there, we witness heads of state behaving like feudal lords of another age, patiently nibbling away at the neighboring territory, redrawing borders through force rather than law, as if governing a nation mattered less than expanding one's fiefdom. No names need be mentioned here: current events provide plenty of illustration, and each reader will recognize, according to their own geography and moment of reading, the faces that embody this observation. But this return to the archaic is not confined to grand geopolitical stages. It also permeates the most ordinary daily life—that of social media, where anyone can pour out venom against another without filter, without form, and often without the slightest argument. The verbal jousting of yesteryear, with its codes, its rhetoric, its tacit limits, has given way to raw invective, snap judgment, instant condemnation. We no longer debate: we execute, verbally—and sometimes it doesn't stop at words. The Vanished Inhibition What strikes one, in this dual observation—macro-political and micro-social—is the lifting of an inhibition we thought firmly anchored. Centuries of cultural construction, education, philosophy, sometimes religion, had patiently shaped mechanisms of restraint: politeness as social ritual, argumentation as a mode of resolving disagreement, respect for one's opponent as the very foundation of democratic debate. This civilizational veneer, however fragile it always was, seemed to hold. Today it is cracking, and the question—which for me remains a simple hypothesis, not a certainty—is why. A convenient explanation would blame social media: anonymity, the distance of the screen, the instantaneousness of publication would favor verbal acting-out without the usual mediation of reflection. This is probably true, but likely insufficient. For technology here is only an accelerant, an amplifier—not necessarily a root cause. A Poorly Formatted Neocortex? The more unsettling hypothesis—and I frame it explicitly as hypothesis, not scientifically established fact—is that of a failure in the formation of moral judgment and tolerance toward otherness. The human brain possesses the neural structures enabling empathy, the distancing of impulsive reaction, the acceptance of difference—but these capacities are not innate in their full exercise: they must be built, educated, cultivated, like a muscle that needs patient training from childhood onward. If this education in otherness, nuance, and tolerance of disagreement erodes—for multiple and undoubtedly complex reasons that are not mine to settle here—then older reflexes resurface: instinctive distrust of the stranger outside the clan, the law of the strongest, the logic of territorial or symbolic predation. The other ceases to be a possible interlocutor and becomes once again a potential threat, unless they belong to my tribe, my clan, my party, my digital bubble. Two Scales, One Logic What is striking, in this deliberately provocative reading, is the structural similarity between these two scales. The leader who invades a neighbor in the name of a rediscovered greatness or a reinvented historical right, and the anonymous internet user who insults a stranger in the name of an unnegotiable conviction, may obey the same underlying grammar: that of territory to defend, clan to protect, the other to subdue or exclude rather than understand. The form has changed—satellites instead of horses, tweets instead of heralds—but the substance, in this reading that remains mine alone and commits no one else, seems strangely identical to that of feudal rivalries: the absence of a recognized third party, of an accepted common rule, of a respected arbitrating authority. Everyone becomes judge and party, lord of their own digital or territorial fiefdom. A Civilization on a Knife's Edge Norbert Elias, in his Civilizing Process, showed how Western societies had historically built, with remarkable slowness, an increasing control over impulses and direct violence, in favor of more sublimated forms of social regulation. What we may be observing today—and I stress again the conditional—is a form of regression in this process, or at least a fragilization of the veneer it had patiently laid down. Should we see this as an effect of great technological accelerations, which shake up our cognitive rhythms without leaving education time to adapt? A deeper crisis of the institutions tasked with transmitting these values of tolerance—school, family, religion, the rule of law? Or simply a cyclical movement of human history, where phases of policed civilization alternate with darker backlashes? I have no certain answer, and I would be wary of anyone claiming to hold one. In Conclusion, a Shared Concern This text is only a viewpoint, necessarily partial and subjective, on a world that sometimes seems to replay ancient logics in new clothing. Perhaps I am wrong to perceive a continuity between the feudal lord and the contemporary dictator, between the anonymous online insult and the absence of education in nuance. Perhaps these phenomena are unrelated, or too complex to be thus summarized. But if this reading, even partially, hits the mark, then the question that arises is less one of technological regulation—though necessary—than the far more arduous question of how to rebuild, generation after generation, this capacity to accept the other in their difference, to debate without destroying, to coexist without necessarily dominating. This undertaking, if it exists, will not be resolved by an algorithm nor by an international treaty. It plays out, patiently, in the most elementary education—the one that teaches a child that the other is not a threat, but a possibility. Bibliography Elias, N. (1939).

Yes, the US financial system has turned into a house of cards due to Private Credit and the AI bubble. When the latter goes, so does the former and the financial system goes with them. @WhiteHouse is already panicking about this possibility, because the one thing the fragile ego #FinancialCrisis #PrivateCredit #AIBubble #US

💬: Vivir un mes sin celular vs. Vivir un mes sin computadora ​🐥: La verdad es que no puedo estar sin celular... Con el celular... escucho música, veo mucho YouTube, y qué más hago? Hago mucho trabajo con él. También tomo muchas fotos, y como tengo que usar KakaoTalk, también tengo que estar en Bubble y en FANS. Tengo que comunicarme un poco con la gente, si no tuviera celular por un mes, creo que preocuparía mucho a las personas. Creo que preocuparía especialmente a STAY, no? Si no hay contacto por un mes, podrían pensar: "Yongbok perdió su teléfono? O está enfermo?". Podrían llegar a pensar ese tipo de cosas. Así que elijo estar un mes sin computadora. La verdad es que últimamente no puedo jugar mucho a LoL, así que puedo vivir sin ella durante un mes #Tecnología #Celulares #Comunicación

Historische tiefste je gemessene Zustimmung zu einem Bundeskanzler: In der aktuellen repräsentativen Forsa-Umfrage (15.9.) sinkt die Zustimmung zur Arbeit von @bundeskanzler #Merz erneut um 3 Prozentpunkt auf 10 %. D.h. allerdings auch, dass bei offiziell 60 Mio Wahlberechtigten, rund 6 Mio Bundesbürger auf Nachfrage immer noch erklären, sie seien zufrieden mit der Arbeit von @_FriedrichMerz. Wer soll das sein?🙄 Selbst ein fanatischer CDU-Sympathisant aus dem Sauerland, wird doch kaum ernsthaft auf Nachfrage erklären, er sei "mit der bisherigen Arbeit von Bundeskanzler Merz zufrieden"... Kennt Ihr jemanden in Eurem Umfeld, der unter die 10 % fällt? Ich in meiner, ich würde mir anmaßen zu sagen, politisch relativ breit aufgestellten Bubble, kenne keinen einzigen. Ich kenn auch wirklich keinen einzigen CDU-Funktionär, der im informellen Gespräche die Arbeit von Merz positiv beurteilt... Fragen über Fragen ;) #Politik #Bundeskanzler #CDU

Day by day, the storyline of Submachine Comic Book becomes more relevant to what's happening with AI nowadays... I just hope I'll make it in time before the Singularity, or before the AI bubble pops. :D https://t.co/M2P27evEcx #Submachine #AI #Singularity #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.
