Für wen arbeitet die Wirtschaftsministerin? Für ihren ehemaligen Arbeitgeber Eon, dessen Aktienkurs es hervorragend geht? Für KKR, den massiv in fossiles Gas investierten Fonds, dessen Tochterfirma jetzt ihre Kommunikation für sie optimieren soll?

Energiewende: Was macht Katherina Reiche eigentlich beruflich?

Die Wirtschaftsministerin hat einen so seltsamen Gastbeitrag über Energiepolitik geschrieben, dass nicht nur der eigene Koalitionspartner ihr öffentlich widerspricht: Sie erntet Widerspruch sogar von sich selbst.

Reading through Anthropic's official repo for giving agents various "super skills"[1]... There's an "algorithmic art" skill and the instructions are explicitly encouraging pure deception as one of the key "critical guidelines":

"The philosophy MUST stress multiple times that the final algorithm should appear as though it took countless hours to develop, was refined with care, and comes from someone at the absolute top of their field. This framing is essential - repeat phrases like "meticulously crafted algorithm," "the product of deep computational expertise," "painstaking optimization," "master-level implementation.""

For someone who's been working in this field for almost 30 years, this "skills.md" file is just the worst... and so far off the mark! 🤮

Touch some effing grass, Anthropic (and all boosters)! How can so many people think this approach is _the_ future? The map is not the terrain...

[1] Alone the premise of this repo is pure comedy gold and pure sadness in equal measures!

Techbro stance: "Regulating AI is hindering innovation."

The purpose of regulation is to protect humans from harm, support wellbeing and promote societal sustainability.

So the techbro stance is "I can't invent new stuff if I can't fuck with people's lives and health."

Except that's not innovation, that's abuse.

Politicians and media really need to start understanding the difference.
