I had a lot of sad and frustrating AI things I expected 2026 to bring us, so the pope making a ton of AI weirdos publicly go all-in on looking like absolute Chad-Kings of Bozostan is a nice turn of events, not gonna lie. And the internet can watch it happen live, for free. 👌

That russo-friendly elites in Eastern European countries often saw their loss of status as a takeover by the “class enemy” and somehow perceived it as a great injustice, and that there was no “Wow, we’re the aristocrats this time, eh?” realization going around is a great example of how humans work.

There's a version of the future where we stop making comics. Then we open our messages and see someone telling us our comic got them through a rough week – and suddenly that future feels impossible. You reading this right now, you're part of the reason we're still here.

Anyone in Wels or Linz looking for a job? Client of mine (in Wels) is looking for a support person. Taking customer calls, on-site meetings with visiting customers, reporting bugs. Company is a small software shop that wants to ease the dev/business team’s support pressure. No crazy hours or stress.

ORF III, Datenschutzexperte Nikolaus Forgo meint, "dass das Verschwinden der Arbeitsplätze wahrscheinlich ähnlich unwahrscheinlich ist, wie das uns die KI alle ausrotten wird". Na dann ist ja gut, ich dachte schon, dass die komplette Entwertung vom Fachwissen durch LLMs ein Problem werden könnt. 👍

Unfortunately, I can confirm all of this. I only have one in-person workshop this year. Before I had a couple of them every year. My online workshops aren't going well, either. I have two coming up, which I may have to cancel. Workshops have been a big source of income for me, but I think that's…

Greatly underappreciated aspect of the whole AI agent craze. What’s more, people expect tools to be predictable and reliable — with AI/AI agents, there’s now a number of smart people out there whose self-confidence got a kick in the groin when they tried the tools because of the tools failing.

And, yup, it’s the same company that pivoted to Agentic (generative) AI as means to quickly fill in traceabily gaps in product development documentation to make things easier to submit to the FDA & Co. Basically helps companies look like they know what they’re doing. One of the big reasons I quit.

Former employer happily announced they’ve helped turn the Meta glasses into a FDA-approved, medical-device grade hearing aid. It’s killing me to have no job. Still better than being involved with that. There’s literally no scenario where Meta will not try to abuse that in some way, shape or form.

wer was wie. die kleine hat einen mcp server?!
Früher gab es quasi den Deal zwischen Google und Co. und den Publishern: Ihr stellt die Inhalte zur Verfügung, wir schicken euch dafür Traffic. Mit dem Aufkommen von Kl-Anwendungen scheint dieser Deal längst hinfällig. Trotzdem lassen viele Verlage Google und auch viele KI- Unternehmen weiterhin gratis an ihre Inhalte.

Wir gehen mit KI-Modellen anders um. Unsere Website ist komplett vektorisiert auf einem MCP Server verfügbar und mit einer Bezahl-Schranke versehen. Das heißt: Wer nicht zahlt, kommt in verpluste Artikel nicht rein. Wer ein Abo hat und dieses mit seinem Kl-Agenten kombiniert, kann unseren Content überall konsumieren. Das gilt natürlich auch für

Google.
