Communities blocked or delayed 75 data centre projects worth $130 billion in Q1 2026 - the most on record. Opposition groups have doubled to 833 across 49 states, showing a structural shift in how locals are fighting AI infrastructure. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/130-billion-in-data-center-projects-blocked-by-protests-so-far-this-year/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIGovernance

Avec AI Overviews, Google régurgitera du conseil pour choisir vos lectures (à votre place)

Avec l'arrivée prochaine des AI Overviews, Google ne se contente plus de classer le web : il répond à sa place. Pour le livre, l’enjeu dépasse le référencement : critiques, libraires, bibliothèques et blogs nourriront une synthèse qui garde le lecteur captif, sans clic ni détour. Une promesse de confort, donc, mais aussi une confiscation très méthodique de la médiation littéraire. On se poserait presque des questions.

The normalisation of AI tools to mediate intimacy risks eroding self-curiosity and the messy, dynamic skills needed for real relationships. A researcher argues that relying on AI to navigate conflict and dating may cause intimate deskilling - the erosion of abilities to imagine, pursue and sustain genuine connection. https://theconversation.com/as-ai-plays-a-bigger-role-in-relationships-true-intimacy-is-getting-lost-284118 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics
As AI plays a bigger role in relationships, true intimacy is getting lost

The normalisation of AI to mediate and shape intimacy arguably erodes self-curiosity.

The Conversation
Mit einem LLM selbst Softwareprojekte umsetzen

Ich habe hier ja schon öfter über mein
PeakShave Projekt für Home Assistant geschrieben.

Dabei habe ich viel darüber gelernt, wie man mit LLMs umgehen sollte, um gute Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Dieses Wissen habe ich jetzt in einem Dokument zusammengetragen, falls ihr euch auch mal an so ein Projekt machen wollt.

Es ist auch dann durchaus interessant, wenn man KI eher kritisch sieht, weil es deren Probleme und Schwächen nicht ausblendet.

Es zeigt aber auch, wozu uns LLMs schon jetzt befähigen können, was vor 2 Jahren so noch nicht möglich gewesen wäre.

Über Anmerkungen und Rückmeldungen dazu würde ich mich sehr freuen.

Over the past two days, #WiConf26 brought together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to discuss the societal implications of #GenAI

Key themes included #AI and democratic futures, changing forms of #labour and #inequality and shifting epistemic authority.

Thank you to all speakers, organizers, and participants for an inspiring exchange!
