Rens van der HeijdenFirst talk of yesterday: Big Tech made in Germany? Lidl and the promise of digital sovereignty.
https://programm.infraunited.org/cableresist26/talk/VJYLJW/
In summary, this talk covers the interconnectedness of the Schwarz group, digital sovereignty and nationalism. It addresses the supply chain and (training) data, explaining how a critique of (American) big tech must include industry specific models. This refers to the focus on smaller models also suggested in AI critique (notably @timnitGebru & Torres).

Big Tech made in Germany? Lidl und das Verprechen digitaler Souveränität Cables of Resistance - movement conference against Big Tech
Unter dem Label digitale Souveränität wird momentan massiv in digitale Infrastrukturprojekte „made in Germany“ investiert. Unternehmen greifen darunter direkt in KI-Entwicklung, Wissenschaft und Bildung ein und rufen dabei eine nationale (digitale) Identität an. Soziale Bewegungen stehen vor der Aufgabe, lokale politische Praxis zu entwickeln, die den transnationalen Zusammenhang im Blick behält.
