The head of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, emphasizes that the AI boom will boost the world economy, especially in Asia, and could promote growth of around three percent, while AI will bring profound changes to the labor market, education, and tax revenues. #Weltwirtschaft #KünstlicheIntelligenz #IWF (translated)

The work of the laureates has provided us with a solid theoretical foundation for the models that are now used by central banks and governments around the world. Thanks to these models, we are better able to respond to economic shocks – such as energy crises or sudden changes in household consumption behavior, says John Hassler, chairman of the committee for the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. #Wirtschaftsnobelpreis #Ökonomie #Stabilisierungspolitik (translated)

Miss Bennet stated that, for the first time in RTVE's broadcast of the parade on October 12, the boos and the song dedicated to Pedro Sánchez were clearly heard, which, according to her, had been silenced until then. She added that the commentators also referred to them and maintained that, during the campaign, they presented Sánchez as a victim of the far-right. She characterized that strategy as crude. #12deOctubre https://t.co/JmDheSI49g #PedroSánchez #RTVE #12deOctubre (translated)

Volker Ketzer compared the customs calculation he described to shopping at Aldi: Five packages of pasta would cost an additional fee of three euros, shampoo another three euros, and batteries three more euros. The critical factor is not the number of products but the number of different product groups. Ketzer wrote that the EU has been charging three euros per customs tariff group for small online orders from non-EU countries with a value of up to 150 euros since July. Thus, five identical items would amount to three euros, while three different product groups would total nine euros, he explained. In his opinion, people would be annoyed by such a regulation in the supermarket, but at customs, it is enshrined in a regulation. #EU #Zoll #OnlineShopping (translated)

Sabine commented on the incident with a tiger in Yorkshire and criticized demands to kill or euthanize the animal. In her opinion, the tiger did nothing wrong and merely displayed natural predator behavior when a stranger intruded into its territory. Even if the man or boy had been a person with a disability, they apparently managed to overcome a safety measure, she wrote. If the person had been accompanied or supervised, in Sabine's view, the caregivers or companions had neglected their duty of care. #Tierschutz #Naturschutz #Wildtiere (translated)

René Springer, the labor and social policy spokesperson for the AfD faction, expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas and her family after the death of a family member and wished her strength and time to process the loss. The AfD faction has often represented fundamentally different positions in labor and social policy and has had harsh confrontations with Bas. He even demanded her dismissal as Minister and continues to stand by this political assessment, wrote Springer. At the same time, political opposition should not obscure the view of the person behind the office. Bas' decision to withdraw from the front row of politics during this difficult phase of life deserves respect. #Mitgefühl #Politik #Verlust (translated)

Bernd Kaiser expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas on the death of her stepdaughter but accused her of politically exploiting the tragedy. He wrote that Bas is resigning from her position as Federal Minister of Labor and the presidency of the SPD party but is keeping her Bundestag mandate. Kaiser criticized that Bas would therefore continue to receive a salary and additionally statutory transitional pay: the full ministerial salary for three months and then half for up to two years. He compared this to the regulations for employees: those who lose a stepchild have no right to statutory special leave; in the public sector, there are two days off for the death of direct relatives. He claimed that Bas did not change this regulation during her time in office. Kaiser accused Bas of evading political responsibility by referring to grief and public attacks while the costs would be borne by taxpayers. #BärbelBas #SPD #Doppelmoral #BärbelBas #SPD #Politik (translated)

Hendrik Wüst wrote that parents should not have to say goodbye to their children. He expressed his heartfelt condolences to Bärbel Bas and her family, stated that he has great respect for her personal decision, and thanked her for her work for the country. #Mitgefühl #Respekt #Eltern (translated)

Martin Sellner wrote that the harassment was a gift for the AfD and showed that it was a real alternative to the system. People who wanted fundamental changes would become more closely tied to the party; he claimed that their number was growing daily. In his view, the hatred and fanaticism of those responsible would eventually be directed against themselves. #AfD #Politik #Geschenk (translated)

Cristiano Tinazzi argued that disinformation played a central role in hybrid warfare and that its dissemination through a public television program constituted a national problem. He pointed to "In Mezz’ora" on Rai and Gian Micalessin’s reports, stating that in the past the journalist had been in Bashar al-Assad's court to present him as a defender of Christians. Tinazzi also recalled a report on Maidan that, in his opinion, the BBC had termed false: Micalessin had interviewed people presented as Georgian snipers, claiming that the protesters had shot themselves. Tinazzi stated that other freelancers had been excluded from mainstream media for much less, while Micalessin continued to work and move with the Russian occupiers. He linked the situation to the journalist's historical ties with Monica Maggioni, whom he described as his former partner and founder of GM News Produzioni, where Maggioni had been a managing partner. In his view, this created a serious conflict of interest, on which the Rai Supervisory Commission had also taken an interest in 2022. Tinazzi said that one should expect rigor and seriousness from a public television program, and not a showcase for Russian propaganda. He cited an interview by Micalessin with Kostyantyn Suvkov, whom he defined as a representative of ultranationalist and militarist Russian propaganda. According to Tinazzi, that content contributed to polluting information and was part of a psychological warfare operation aimed at terrorizing Western public opinion and weakening military support for Kyiv. #Disinformazione #GuerraIbrida #MediaResponsabili (translated)

He stated that Garofano had inappropriately tasked a friend of his with drafting a psychological report, which he judged to be of very poor quality. He also reported that Dr. Bramante would have denied being the author of the document and pointed to Garofano as a possible promoter of a strategy to blame Stasi, even through illicit means. He concluded by hoping that justice would take its course. #Giustizia #Verità #Ingiustizia (translated)

Karba66 wrote to Markus Söder that political leaders had portrayed children during a pandemic as a potential danger to their grandparents. Moreover, they had made children feel guilt and fear by asking whether they wanted their grandmother to die. This was not normal. #Pandemie #Kinder #Gesundheit (translated)

The author considered Bas' resignation for personal reasons to be understandable and wished her strength to cope with the personal blow. At the same time, he wrote that her follow-up attacks against the coalition partner CDU showed that the Black-Red coalition was at an end. #Politik #Rücktritt #CDU #DE (translated)
