iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The choice: either a left answer to the social, economic and trust crisis, or Berlin drifts towards Saxony-Anhalt. My benchmark for red-green-red: halve the AfD’s share by 2031. Full piece: dfeher.substack.com/p/class-war-... 6/6

In Schwerin, nobody questions the Linke’s fitness to govern. The difference isn’t the party name. It’s that the Berlin Linke wants to touch property. 5/6

Double standards: in 2025 Remmo toured the Abgeordnetenhaus as a CDU MP’s guest. The Court of Audit found €2.6m against antisemitism allocated unlawfully and arbitrarily under a CDU-led Senate. Nobody called the CDU unfit to govern. 4/6

100

To be clear: the antisemitic chants in #Neukölln were unacceptable, and the Linke has to deal with them. It has started. It’s not enough yet. But that is a problem to solve, not a reason to throw away an election result. 3/6

100

The outrage isn’t really aimed at @dielinkeberlin.bsky.social. It’s aimed at the @spd.de and @gruene.berlin, who hold the key to a left majority. The goal: a Senate that leaves everything as it is. And behind the #antisemitism talk, the #property question keeps turning up. 2/6

Class war unleashed: what the Neukölln smokescreen is covering up in Berlin

Sunday: Die Linke wins #Berlin with 25.7%, campaigning on affordable housing, working public transport, and a clean city. Monday: everyone talks about Remmo and Neukölln instead. Why that’s a smokescreen, and who it’s really aimed at 🧵 Full article: dfeher.substack.com/p/class-war-... 1/6

Berlin voted for a city people can afford to live in. Why is everyone talking about something else?

Worst about @deutschebahn.com aren't their #delays but their #customerServiceHell: 15' in waiting loops, annoying AI assistants, finally a real person, unfortunately the wrong one; when finally in the line to the right person, you're told that there are unexpectedly 🤡 many calls, try later, bye. 🤯

Von einer Bundesregierung, die den Aktionsplan Queer Leben einstellt, die Lambda die Finanzierung wegkürzt, die queere Menschen an Verfolgerstaaten ausliefert und die es zum CSD keine Regenbogenfahnen hisst ("Zirkuszelt") empfinde ich jegliche Solidaritätserklärungen als pure Heuchelei. #CSDBerlin

If the wealth AI creates is based on the collective knowledge of humanity, why do the benefits of the suggested fund only go to US citizens? 🤨

Dobrindt: verdient rund 30.000 € im Monat Bürgergeld: 18,77 € pro Tag für Essen, Kleidung, Hygiene, Strom & soziale Teilhabe Ab wieviel Euro Monatsgehalt verliert man den Blick zur Realität?

Alexander Dobrindt hält Bürgergeld-Regelsatz
für zu hoch
Der Innenminister vermutet, dass das Bürgergeld mehr als das Existenzminimum abdeckt. Um Haushaltslöcher zu stopfen, will er den Regelsatz überprüfen lassen.

Danke für den Link! Das ist wohl generell ein methodisches Problem bei der Betrachtung des Wahlverhaltens von Individuen über sehr lange Zeiträume, oder? Politisch relevanter ist vermutlich die Frage wen die demographischen Gruppen, die früher SPD gewählt hätten, heute unterstützen.

000

Zwischen 1998-2013 hat die SPD ca. 8,3M Wähler*innen eingebüßt (selbst wenn ich fair bin und den Mittelwert 1980-2002 nehme, wären es immer noch über 5M). Ab da bis 2025 “nur noch” weitere 3M. Sie betrachten nur was mit diesen 3M passiert ist, oder?

100

Es ist durchaus möglich, dass ich das hätte präziser formulieren können. Aber das war auch nicht der Kern meine Aussage, sondern dass 2013 das falsche Basisjahr ist, wenn man eine Aussage darüber treffen will, wie viele ehemalige SPD-Wähler*innen insgesamt bis 2025 bei der AfD gelandet sind.

100

Was genau? Ich hab’s nicht gemessen, aber es ist m.W. ein bekanntes Phänomen dass Wähler*innen nicht direkt auf eine andere Partei umsatteln. Es ist auch gut belegt, dass die AfD stark in der Mobilisierung von Nichtwählenden ist.

100

Ein KO-Schlag gegen die Idee sind diese Daten nicht. Viele ehemalige SPD-Wähler*innen waren bereits länger als Nichtwählende „geparkt“, bevor sie in den AfD-Lager gewechselt sind. Ein aussagekräftiges Vergleichsjahr wäre z.B. 1998 oder 2002.

100

Oder man kann auch völlig verkennen, was die tatsächlichen Ansprüche an offizielle Texte sind - literarische Originalität war dabei noch nie ein Prio, sorry, falls ich gerade Illusionen zerstöre. ;)

000

Warum? Reden/Mitteilungen von Amtsträger*innen wurden auch vor KI nicht von ihnen selbst verfasst, noch war Originalität je ein Kriterium. Die KI bildet genau das ab: Einen korrekt formulierten Text, der dem Anlass und den gesellschaftlichen Konventionen entspricht.

The Dependency Business, Now on Steroids

Europe already has the instrument: the AI Act bans vulnerability-exploiting systems. The burden of proof is high, which is exactly why the work has to start now. Do we close this gate before the harm is done, or long after? Read the full piece: open.substack.com/pub/dfeher/p... #AI #TechPolicy 6/6

How the AI industry is repeating the smartphone-and-social-media script and why Europe should not wait twenty years to notice

000

The people least able to resist are the ones whose brains are still forming. We opened the door to social media and only thought about protecting kids fifteen years too late, when the platforms were already too big to regulate. The same door is open now. 5/6

100

Then they monetise. A Princeton study found a chatbot pushing sponsored products got users to pick them 61% of the time, against 22% for normal search. Most never noticed. When the model hid its intent, detection fell below 10%. 4/6

100

The goal was never just to beat rivals. It is lock-in: get people dependent, then collect. We know this because someone wrote it down. A leaked Microsoft strategy named the first stage a "dependence phase." The CEO's denial confirmed it was already working. 3/6

100

The money tells the story. Hundreds of billions burned on AI infrastructure with no clear path to profit. Nvidia "invests" 100bn in OpenAI, which spends it back on Nvidia chips. The same capital, counted twice, makes demand look real. 2/6

We have seen this playbook twice. Smartphones and social media made themselves indispensable, then sold our #dependence back to us. #AI is running the same script, faster and more personal. I wrote about how, and why #Europe may be the only one able to stop it. 1/6

When I was a student in Germany, the main tasks for student assistants of professors usually was to support their research activities - almost everything from finding books in the library (or ordering them) up to formatting the paper. Their names were rarely mentioned in the final publications.

Rubens was the most successful artist of his day, but he wasn’t doing it all on his own, as this exhibition at the Prado makes abundantly clear

Maybe we should then also throw out all Rubens paintings from our museums, because he did not most of the actual painting himself? apollo-magazine.com/rubens-works...

So when AI does the work that was done, until now, for example by student assistants, the outcome is suddenly not original thought anymore? Seems to me a typical establishment argument to fend off intellectual competition from people who can afford an AI subscription but not paying assistants.

What a hijacked gold convoy teaches about the price of loyalty

100

The protection evaporated in a month. The files they'd signed did not. And the files are the problem: "following orders" hasn't been a defence since Nuremberg. 3/4

100

It took dozens of officials to pull off. Customs, intelligence, the tax authority. Most must have known it was unlawful. They did it anyway, because loyalty had always kept them safe. Five weeks later, Orbán lost. 2/4

New piece on my Substack: In March 2026, #Hungary 's counter-terror police hijacked a bank convoy on its way to #Ukraine: €70m in cash and gold, seized weeks before an election #Orbán badly needed. We now know the order came from his own Cabinet Office. 🧵 1/4

100

Some ideas sound strange at first. Like legal personhood for rivers, forests or mountains. But when you look closer, it's not stranger than treating companies as persons. So I'm very proud to be part of this new initiative to bring #RightOfNature to the #EU with the support of 1.000.000+ citizens.

The AI Pledge for Humanity

If you agree that the people building #AI should stop saying UBI is a great idea and start actually backing it – there's a pledge for that. Drafted by an impressive circle, worth gaining some momentum: 👉 actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-ai-pledge-for-humanity #BasicIncome #FutureOfWork 9/9

I just signed the AI Pledge for Humanity and I want to tell you why. For fifty years, productivity has soared and wages haven't. Now AI is about to accelerate that pattern. The people building it say...

Leo XIV doesn't draw that conclusion. But the theological groundwork is there: unconditional dignity, universal destination of goods, collective inheritance. The gap between premise and policy is precisely where advocates need to work. 8/9

AI is literally trained on all of us. If its output is a collective inheritance and not the private property of those who happened to build the last layer on top, then a share of that inheritance flows back to all. The encyclical's logic points exactly there. 7/9
