“The chips can operate for about 15 minutes in space before needing to be shut down so they can cool off, said Travis Beals, Google’s senior director of product management for Project Suncatcher.” What are we even doing here?

Warum schreibe ich das: Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass Leute die an „Bevölkerungsaustausch“ glauben sich in einer Art Endschlacht wähnen. Einige denken: Wenn die AfD nicht in den nächsten 10-15 Jahren regiert, dann war’s das. Das kann massiv zur Radikalisierung & Gewaltbereitschaft beitragen.

a convergence of several overlapping moral panics that are at this point decades in the making by rightwing sensationalist media to prevent the only viable alternative to the CDU that isn't the AfD, from governing. Well done!

That’s a perfect PR answer. Because many (maybe all?) LLM voice models tend to switch language when they encounter a single word in a different language. And no one has ever considered that to be a helpful feature.

Michelle Waldron, publicist for Particle 6, the Al production company behind Norwood, told Forbes in an email the incident was "not a malfunction; it clearly shows what she's capable of - and we would love more people to speak to different languages," adding, "Tilly would have thought she heard a Cantonese word and quickly switched."

Die Idee? Maybe. Die Begründung? Wow. Ich mein… wow. Hatte ich es mir blöd vorgestellt? Ja. Aber so? Das arme winzi RTL wird zwischen Big Tech und… öffentlichen Rundfunk zerrieben? Wat?

Als Begründung nannte er laut dem Bericht eine Belastung der privaten Medien, weil die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen aus dem Rundfunkbei-trag finanziert werden. Die „RTLs dieser Welt" stehen laut Weimer mit dem Rücken zur Wand, und der Medienmarkt stellt sich seiner Meinung nach heute als „Duopol" aus Big Tech und Öffentlich-Rechtlichen dar.

Gewalt gegen Ausländer halt ein Wunschthema, egal was Gerichte sagen. AfD Verbot leider unmöglich, weil Gerichte könnten es verhindern.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

Why is this group trying to dictate UK policy on who can engage in humanitarian work, wherever and whenever they are desperately needed? If they are at the point where medics & aid agencies are deemed terrorist-adjacent, the problem is not the aid agencies it’s a lack of humanity.

So you can become a senior fellow & director of military analysis without any kind of knowledge? Interesting.

China also makes semiconductors, though they are less advanced than those manufactured in U.S. supply chains.
China would likely continue selling these chips to the United States even after a war over Taiwan, as they do today. This would be enough to meet most U.S. needs because advanced semiconductors produced in Taiwan are most important for high-end consumer electronics, which are arguably less crucial to U.S. economic prosperity than other inputs.

Our blackshirt mob nearly murdered the wrong people and we are a little sorry about that.

Reform county councillor George Madgwick, who attended the scene, said hotel staff had shown him "proof" the guests were the touring cricket team, and had urged people online not to attend.
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "Someone online saw a group of what looked like foreign nationals leaving the coach and put a photo of it online and that's where it spurred from.
"It was mere speculation rather than based on truth or fact.
"In this case they have made a grave error, a grave mistake."

Second, it is past time for the CDU to reconsider the rigid Brandmauer. That does not mean kneeling before extremists; the AfD's stated goal is to destroy the CDU, not to work with it. And the CDU should not enable the entry to government of a party that opposes so much of what it stands for. But if the CDU signalled that it would not dogmatically exclude future co-operation with a party that shed its most radical ideas and politicians, it could eventually help boost the (relative) moderates within the AfD, some of whom are uneasy about their extreme comrades. The AfD's strength and confidence makes this harder than it once would have been. But an AfD that looks closer to Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy would be far preferable to the one that now sits on the outer fringe of Europe's right-wing populists.

Man kann den ganzen Artikel auch als Erklärung lesen, warum Friedrich Merz in der aktuellen Situation die schlechtmöglichste Wahl war

Genau. Studien zeigen, dass es gar nicht unbedingt ein objektiv erfahrener Abstieg sein muss, der die Menschen zur AfD treibt, sondern die Sorge vor dem künftigen Abstieg. Wenn man einen gewissen Aufstieg erfahren hat, diesen aber als unsicher begreift, wird das häufig auf die Migration projiziert - unabhängig davon, ob diese vor Ort überhaupt stark präsent ist. Wir beobachten auch ein verstärktes Nullsummendenken: Die Menschen nehmen die Welt als Nullsummenspiel wahr. Der Aufstieg der anderen wird als eigener Verlust empfunden.
Migranten werden in dieser Weltsicht als Störfaktor wahrgenommen, die dem Staat auf der Tasche liegen und die mühsam errungene eigene Position gefährden.
