Diese extreme Kälte in den USA durch Bomben-Zyklon (jetzt erst gelernt): Ist das nicht exakt das Szenario aus „The Day After Tomorrow“?

Heute erst Franks Artikel zu StarLink und Militär gelesen. Interessant dazu: vor zwei Wochen erfuhr ich auf der GLOBECOM, dass Huawei auch eine Megakonstellation plant. Chinas Militär will also auch. steadyhq.com/de/realitatsabz…

Perfekt. Putin bastelt weiter an seiner eigenen Demontage. Ihm sollte klar sein, dass er die Ukraine nicht erobern kann, aber er ist wohl im eigenen Mythos gefangen. tagesschau.de/ausland/europa…

So yesterday, Musk appears at the World Cup final in Qatar. He is seen with Jared Kushner, who has close ties to the Saudi crown family. And now he on-ramps his exit via poll? Coincidence? I guess he found investors willing to buy.

Just so we’re clear: at the end of the year, this account will go dark. I refuse to provide even the slightest bit of additional value to this site.

$10 says Elon Musk winds up Howards Hughes-ing it, living solo in the penthouse of some Vegas casino he buys (Cosmopolitan would be my choice if I were writing the script), surrounded by hundreds of bottles filled with his own urine.

I love this take.
A high h-index implies that you work in a densely populated field with a lot of folks all working on the same thing and citing each other. This is therefore an index of how replaceable you are as a scientist. Discuss.

Good example of how AI boosters translate corporate growth goals into liberatory thought leader speak. "AI" is data-centric corporate tech that requires surveillance + massive computation as its basis. AI for everyone transaltes to "AI companies reach into everyone's lives"
AI ethics should be about getting AI into everyone’s hands ASAP.
