AI promises to do for the Web what autodial and mail merge did for phone calls and phone calls: make it socially permissible to avoid and ignore.

The real AI shift for media isn't content generation. It's curation. When everyone can produce infinite content, the person who helps you find what matters becomes the most valuable player in the room.

hey let's hastily migrate hbo max and discovery to the same oracle-hosted backend that takes five years to start a paramount+ stream and is regularly cracking under the strain of tiktok, this will go great www.theverge.com/tech/888647/...

Warum versuchen wir eigentlich immer mit schlechten Gesetzen die Pflichten der Plattformen zu übernehmen und den Mist der da passiert zu verschlimmbessern? Ich meine, wenn ich mit meinem Unternehmen Rechte verletze, werden für mich ja auch keine Gesetze geändert, um die Folgen zu mildern?

I think the diverse, complex structure of EU requires some kind of pressing emergency mode to get things going. And it’s clearly not a matter of skills, but of will. If EU must take responsibility, it will.. now many still hope to hide behind US..

Maybe the best thing eventually is: when US leaves NATO, when EU is forced to protect itself, when we have to get our shit together..

There is nobody who celebrates the division in the USA more than Russia and the mullahs in Iran. Their bot networks will fan the flames coming from both sides in order to make it burn higher and hotter.

EU Leadership wäre nicht nur sich zu überlegen wie man taktisch clever auf den Unsinn des US Präsidenten reagiert. Sondern wie man in der Ukraine agiert, nicht reagiert und wie man die Ukraine befähigt nicht nur irgendwie durchzuhalten, sondern Russland zurückzudrängen.

The TACO cycle: Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank. So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

„When the dust settles, we’ll probably see a whole lot of books written about the fancy math games that convinced investors that two companies passing $100 billion back and forth were creating $200 billion in value instead of having a net financial impact of $0.“

the AI story won't end with either a super intelligence enslaving humanity or some "life of abundance"-utopia. it'll end the way these things always end. the bubble will burst. the economy will tank. the tech moguls will golden-parachute onto their super yachts. normies will pick up the pieces.
