Arne BrasseurI just emailed all Belgian MEPs regarding the vote on #chatcontrol. It was really easy, this tool will let you copy-paste all relevant email addresses, and provide an email template. Just add your name at the bottom.

Uwe TrenknerFrom the article: "This breach is one of several recent high-profile incidents caused by the increasing use of AI agents within US tech companies. Last month, a report from the Financial Times said Amazon experienced at least two outages related to the deployment of its internal AI tools."
Amazon employees later said, that AI integration have led to "glaring errors, sloppy code and reduced productivity".
Martin De WulfTIL that Madagascar is NOT "a little island in the Pacific".
In reality Madagascar is 20 times bigger than Belgium and has 3 times the population: https://www.woatlas.com/compare/madagascar/belgium/
