A look at modern news websites. How programmatic ad-tech, huge payloads and hostile architecture destroyed the reading experience.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.
“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday.
“And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

This sounds like a direct, long-term pitch to the GOP from a CEO whose tech firm already has numerous government contracts and is deeply embedded in the Pentagon.
Karp’s message is loud and clear:
My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.
He’s aligning his technology with both GOP political strategy and the larger male-centered culture war that the right has been waging for the better part of a decade now.
And how exactly would his technology only hurt Democrat women?
Karp also made a Patriot Act–era argument, justifying his admittedly “dangerous” technology by claiming that Palantir will allow us to “be American” in the future.
“These technologies are dangerous societally,” Karp continued.
“The only justification you could possibly have would be that if we don’t do it, our adversaries will do it. And we will be subject to their rule of law.…
Why is it that we’re absorbing the risk of disrupting the very fabric of our society, including the most powerful parts of our society, if it’s not because it’s about maintaining our ability to be American in the near term and long term?”

Die @DNB_Aktuelles soll in Zukunft die Pflichtexemplare bevorzug digital archivieren - so will es Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer.

Wie die Kolleg:innen aus Frankfurt halte ich das für eine ganz, ganz schlechte Idee. Papier hat uns ganz gut durch die letzten 2.000 Jahre gebracht und digitale Langzeitarchivierung ist immer noch eher Forschungsthema denn Alltag.

Weimer-Beschluss: Deutsche Nationalbibliothek erhält keinen Erweiterungsbau

Hohe Planungskosten und trotzdem kein Neubau: Wolfram Weimer hat entschieden, dass die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek keinen weiteren Magazinturm bekommen soll, teilte die Bibliotheksleitung mit.

Komisch. Das 9€ Ticket ist an den Märkten auf über 50€ gesprungen, aber die strategische Bahncard Reserve wird trotzdem nicht freigegeben.

Wie Deutschland auf die Ölkrise 1973 reagierte:

- Tempolimit 100 auf Autobahnen
- Tempo 80 auf Landstraßen
- 4 autofreie Sonntage
- Rationierung von Sprit an Tankstellen

Wie Deutschland auf die Ölkrise 2026 reagiert:

- Verschiebt das Verbrenner-Aus
- Neue Ölheizungen weiter erlaubt
- Würgt Ausbau der Erneuerbaren ab
- Leert seine Ölspeicher

Was ist seitdem nur geschehen?

No matter if this is just a joke/fake webseite or a real service: This is happening. Right now. Every day. We are not understanding the consequences of #LLMs on the #FOSS scene, yet.
Not sure if this is a "legit" service or just some "joke", but now there is a "Clean-room as a service" website. The idea is: You upload a piece of software, an LLM creates a specification for this exact piece of software, and then another LLM implements this specification. So now you have a "clean room" implementation. Basically a copy (without literally copying anything verbatim). Now you can give your clone any license you want. This is horrible. #FOSS #OpenSource https://malus.sh/
