Just to reiterate what I said a year ago: I have left X and hang out now on Bsky - Viktorms.bsky.social see you all there!
Some say that Elon Musk is being investigated by the FBI and will be arrested soon. Have you heard that rumor, too? Any takes?
The US Justice Department now admits that the reflection pool was damaged by incorrect repairs, not vandalism - I ask all here who too quickly said otherwise to correct their mistake and apologize to Olympian David Hearn edition.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p…
Vielen Dank Maria. Du bist ja eine der Protagonistinnen - schon alleine deshalb meine Bitte an alle: lesen! 👍🙏
Super, endlich offiziell da! Auch von mir herzliche Gratulation und viel Erfolg für dieses beeindruckende und inspirierende Buch, das auch so toll gestaltet wurde. @Viktor_MS und @ugasser! Ganz besonders lesenswert!
Thank you so much John!

Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don’t always want, and they explain how society itself can provide guardrails more suited to the digital age. #AI

"Big Data" by @Viktor_MS is on our list of the best #analytics books of all time!

Because Twitter‘s boss has gone bonkers, unable to stop the hemorrhaging of what used to be an interesting but now is a dying platform for exchange and info, I will stop posting. You can find me on LinkedIn, Meta and elsewhere.

During the conference, @kncukier was very generous and gifted a copy of his latest book "Framers", an insightful journey through mental models to help navigate the current world. Totally recommendable, devoured while LHR-SEA! 🧵5/7

So etwas habe ich in 18 Jahren als Journalist noch nie erlebt: ein österreichisches Medium, das eine OTS-Meldung mit Aussagen von Vertretern eines Drittstaates gegenüber einem von dessen Staatsmedien verschickt. Liest sich, als käme es von den Russen selbst. Wozu? #Russland

Was kümmert mich mein Geschwätz von gestern? #Wagenknecht am 22. 2. 2022.
Immerhin gibt es eine Konstante: Schönfärberei der russischen Gewaltpolitik + strikte Opposition gegen die militärische Unterstützung der Ukraine. Parteinahme für den Aggressor im Gewand der Friedenstaube.
So #Hungary has 25 percent inflation, three times (!) as high as Germany and highest in EU. That policy of appeasement vis-a-vis Russia did not work out so well… portfolio.hu/en/economy/2023…
If Oxford wins, academic access to Twitter sample data is restored. If Twitter wins, you can continue to piss on research. And yes, you can borrow rowers from #Tesla and #SpaceX if you need (I heard Twitter is a bit short on staff currently). 2/2 @oiioxford
So per notice today @elonmusk stopped academic access to #Twitter data samples; hey @elonmusk you seem to enjoy #competitions (he did suggest to wrestle Putin) - how about a #rowing match of Oxford (for research) against Twitter? 1/2

It is high time to be clear: people violently desiring to stop the change of power in democratic societies are not innocent protesters for liberty, they are enemies of democracy and the rule of law. No ifs or buts. #democracy #RuleOfLaw #liberty #Brasil #US #Trump #GOP

Fascinating.
The link from Henry VIII to the Industrial Revolution. The monasteries dissolved in 1536 had no feudal lords, so the farmers that occupied them became the gentry who led to innovation & reform
More monasteries in an area= more factories 3 centuries later. scholar.harvard.edu/files/jr…
Musk's leadership of #Twitter is like #Trump's idea of #democracy: people vote, but the "leader" disregards results he doesn't like.
Hey @elonmusk - how about some free speech here? Or, to paraphrase Orwell, are some pigs more equal at Twitter? ;-)
