Merz, Dobrindt, Wegner und wie sie alle heißen...spart euch eure bigotten Krokodilstränen! Aus eurer Position war das kein "abscheulicher Angriff auf unsere freie Gesellschaft". Es war ein Angriff auf die queere Community, einen Teil der wirklich freien, 1/4

Der neue Gesundheitsminister Carsten Linnemann. Im Mai letzten Jahres: „Wenn Sie mich jetzt, weiß ich nicht, aufgestellt hätten als Gesundheitsminister, wäre ich wahrscheinlich nicht erfolgreich gewesen. Die Leute hätten gesagt, warum wird der Gesundheitsminister? Was hat der damit zu tun?“

Anthropic schaltet für Nicht-Amerikaner sein neuestes LLM nach zwei Tagen wieder ab, weil die amerikanische Regierung das so will. Und warum glauben in Deutschland immer noch so viele, bei Microsoft Office, Google, Visa, MasterCard etc. wäre das im Falle eines Falles etwas anders?

Nochmal für die Tagschicht: Als Antwort auf den Xodus der progressiven Parteien sind gestern Nius und ein ganzes Rudel Hater hier eingefallen. @blocksky.app hilft euch, alle Follower von "niusde.bsky.social" zu blocken. Ihr braucht dafür ein "App-Passwort". Das ist safe und geht so: 1/x

Ein Softwareunternehmen ruft öffentlich zur Errichtung einer neuen Weltordnung auf, garniert mit Positionen, die man nur rechtsextrem nennen kann. Diese Software hat in deutschen Behörden NICHTS verloren.

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty.
We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect.
But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
— have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese

Kolumne: Die Liste derer, die Katherina Reiche kritisieren, ist sehr lang. Energiefachleute und Verbände, Unternehmen, der eigene Koalitionspartner, sieben Bundesländer (2 davon CDU-geführt) und sogar Hubert Aiwanger. Mehr noch: Reiche widerspricht ständig sogar sich selbst.

Was macht Katherina Reiche eigentlich beruflich?

Eine Kolumne von Christian Stöcker
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.

Wahnsinn, gerade wenn man denkt, dass Merz vielleicht doch ein Rückgrat har, macht er wieder eine Zeitenwende. Besonders schlimm daran ist, dass er die EU spaltet, statt sie zu einen, und damit beweist, dass er kein nachhaltiges strategisches Konzept hat www.politico.eu/article/frie...

Merz and Meloni to Trump: We’d like to join your Board of Peace, but we can’t

As EU leaders seek not to offend Trump, Rome and Berlin are consulting their constitutions for reasons to say “No, thanks.”
