POV Du bist das Bundesforschungsministerium & schaffst es nach fast 5 Jahren #IchBinHanna, im Referentenentwurf fürs #WissZeitVG die Postdoc-Phase noch schlechter zu regeln als die Ampel, indem Du einfach alles so erwiesenermaßen schlecht lässt wie bisher. Aber Hauptsache Raketen-Memes mit Doro! 🚀👍

EXKLUSIV im Wiarda-Blog: BMFTR legt seinen mit Spannung erwarteten WissZeitVG-Referentenentwurf vor Vieles ist drin aus dem alten Ampelpaket, doch es gibt eine Lücke, mit der die meisten gerechnet hatten. Die Details im Wiarda-Blog: www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2026/05...

New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

"DB will let you down. It will also, more often than the internet would have you believe, deliver you eight hours of clean uninterrupted thinking time at 250 km/h ... drop you within walking distance of your next meeting, + occasionally reroute you down the left bank of the Rhine at golden hour"
