Ich spreche dem Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz und der Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner mein uneingeschränktes Misstrauen aus. Wer sich dieser Haltung anschließen kann, drückt einfach mal auf "Teilen".

It's hard to overstate the scale of the UK CMA's planned capitulation to Apple.

Recall that Cupertino serially misled the regulator, used legal wrangling to delay, and stood up fake "developer" groups to astroturf on both sides of the pond. Now, with Parliament granting new powers to regulate, and a clear agenda *from their own groundbreaking reports*, the CMA proposes to roll over?!

A dereliction that undermines UK tech competitiveness:

OpenAI's sudden discontinuation of its video model #Sora, just a few months after a spectacular deal with Disney, shows just how little these AI companies care about their so-called products. AI video apps, to quote @hito Steyerl, are «onboarding tools» — their purpose is more ideological than commercial.

Rather than offering revenue-generating services (OpenAI is burning money with every single Sora generated clip), these apps are designed to accustom us to a world in which so-called generative AI seems inevitable — and to provide investors with impressive demonstrations of these models' performance.

In other words, companies like OpenAI do not develop consumer products; they merely launch demos that can be retracted once they have fulfilled their purpose. Never mind that, in the meantime, they are flooding our media landscape with a deluge of #slop and destroying entire cultural sectors in the process.
