Fit Precast, an industrial concrete company, is dropping $102 million on a new facility in Gastonia, North Carolina, creating 125 new jobs for workers throughout the area. Pharmaceutical giant Becton Dickinson is putting $110 million into a manufacturing expansion in Columbus, Nebraska — 120 jobs. A new automotive venture in Orangeburg, South Carolina is investing $120 million into a new plant, bringing in nearly 400 jobs.

For about as long as the internet has existed, users have been able to speak their mind freely through pseudonymous accounts that protect them from being doxxed or stalked.

But thanks to the advent of sophisticated AI, unmasking pseudonymous users on the internet has become ominously easy.

As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, a team of researchers at ETH Zurich and AI company Anthropic found that “large language models can be used to perform at-scale deanonymization.”

Von der ID Austria über Online-Banking bis hin zur Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) bringt die Digitalisierung viele Möglichkeiten mit sich, die den Alltag erleichtern können. Gerade für ältere Generationen ist es aber auch schwierig, mitzuhalten. Und der Fortschritt bringt auch Gefahren durch Betrugsmaschen mit sich. Anlaufstellen sollen helfen.

Tell a story

Story is the oldest tool for dealing with lack of memory.

A story has flow to assist memorisation
Hierarchy - to assist comprehension and recollection. Break things down.

Historical narrative of something is a ready made story Process storyline - what were the steps we took to build something Anecdotal examples. This is what happened when I went to build X

Since you were a child you have been training yourself to understand stories.
Don't search for topics, select them

Don't ask "what should I say?" -- this is, what are the important things I can recall with mental effort, won't give us the best results.

Ask - what could I say -- what would I recognise if I saw it in front of me.

Dump your entire knowledge of the subject in any order. To analyse, don't prioritise. Just write. -- pick out the 5 main points, find a story to connect those points -- if something doesn't connect, replace it -- put each bit under those points -- drop anything that doesn't fit under a point

Wenn Du das ursächliche Problem nicht verstanden hast, bekämpfst Du nur Symptome:

Systeme der ersten Generation von Serwas basierend auf Bitcoin-Minern sind bereits in privaten und gewerblichen Gebäuden im Einsatz, unter anderem zur Nutzung von PV-Überschussstrom. Aktuell arbeitet das Start-up in Kooperation mit den Innsbrucker Kommunalbetrieben (IKB) an einem Pilotprojekt, bei dem Abwärme von Servern für KI-Anwendungen zur Beheizung des Amraser Schwimmbads genutzt werden soll.

critical imbalance for Europe lies in software.1 Economically and politically, US high tech makes Europe look like the loser that Twitter portrays it as on a daily basis. Europe’s digital dependency on the United States has quietly become a geopolitical risk.2 The tariff wars did not create that vulnerability. They exposed it. If that infrastructure were ever used as a political weapon, the consequences would be devastating.

In 2026, this scenario is no longer that far-fetched. The US economy needs Europe buying its tech. One year without EU income would be very difficult. But Europe completely depends on US tech to function. Even a temporary disruption to core US platforms would severely disrupt European administration, logistics, and finance. With the rise of AI technologies, the dependency will only increase.3

The command line is hot again. For some people, command lines were never not hot, of course, but it’s becoming more common now in the age of AI. Google launched a Gemini command-line tool last year, and now it has a new AI-centric command-line option for cloud products. The new Google Workspace CLI bundles the company’s existing cloud APIs into a package that makes it easy to integrate with a variety of AI tools, including OpenClaw. How do you know this setup won’t blow up and delete all your data? That’s the fun part—you don’t.

Stimmt bei der Onlineabwicklung die Reihenfolge nicht, ist der neue Bescheid ungültig, wie mittlerweile mehrere Richter am Bundesfinanzgericht entschieden haben. Eine Sprecherin des Finanzministeriums verwies gegenüber der APA auf technische Gründe und auch darauf, dass es sich beim Zeitunterschied oft nur um Minuten oder Stunden gehandelt habe.

Junior developer employment dropped 20% between 2022 and 2025. Entry-level job postings fell 60% in the same period. Companies view AI as a replacement for junior developers rather than as an amplification tool. Meanwhile, 54% of engineering leaders plan to hire fewer juniors, citing AI copilots that let seniors handle more work.

This is a community maintained list of TUI applications. A TUI application runs in your terminal and has some level of interactivity. Commands included in this list should not wrap other interactive commands (e.g. fzf), and should be maintained.

We show that LLM agents can figure out who you are from your anonymous online posts. Across Hacker News, Reddit, LinkedIn, and anonymized interview transcripts, our method identifies users with high precision ­ and scales to tens of thousands of candidates.

While it has been known that individuals can be uniquely identified by surprisingly few attributes, this was often practically limited. Data is often only available in unstructured form and deanonymization used to require human investigators to search and reason based on clues. We show that from a handful of comments, LLMs can infer where you live, what you do, and your interests—then search for you on the web. In our new research, we show that this is not only possible but increasingly practical.

The group of computer scientists from around the world cautions that "those deciding which age-based controls need to exist, and those enforcing them gain a tremendous influence on what content is accessible to whom on the internet." They add that "this influence could be used to censor information and prevent users from accessing services."

"Regulating the use of VPNs, or subjecting their use to age assurance controls, will decrease the capability of users to defend their privacy online. This will not only force regular users to leave a larger footprint on the network, but will leave a number of at-risk populations unprotected, such as journalists, activists, or domestic abuse victims." It continues: "We note that we do not believe that trying to regulate VPN use for non-compliant users would be any more effective than trying to forbid the use of end-to-end encrypted communication for criminals. Secure cryptography is widely available and can no longer be put back into a box."

"If minors or adults are deplatformed via age-related bans, they are likely to migrate to find similar services," warn the scientists. "Since the main platforms would all be regulated, it is likely that they would migrate to fringe sites that escape regulation." With data on everyone collected in order to restrict the activites of minors, data abuses and privacy risks increase. "This in itself increases privacy risks, with data being potentially abused by the provider itself or its subcontractors, or third parties that get access to it, e.g., after a data breach, like the 70K users that had their government ID photos leaked after appealing age assessment errors on Discord."

Instead of mandated age restrictions, the letter urges lawmakers to consider the dangers and suggest regulating social media algorithms instead. They also recommend "support for parents to locally prevent access to non-age-appropriate content or apps, without age-based control needing to be implemented by service providers."

Kostendruck und Personalnot zwingen die Ämter zum Handeln. Doch kurzfristige Kürzungen und bloße KI-Pflaster drohen die digitale Transformation zu ersticken.

Diverse Studien würden klar zeigen, dass die Mediennutzung zunehme und bei vielen Jugendlichen oft ein problematisches Ausmaß erreiche, sagte Koordinator Alexander Zach, Unternehmer und ehemals Chef des Liberalen Forums, heute. Dazu kämen Themen wie Cybermobbing und Desinformation.

„Man könnte sagen: Wir machen das nebenbei in anderen Unterrichtsfächern mit. Aber wir kämen ja auch nicht auf die Idee zu sagen, Fächer wie Englisch oder Mathematik sollte man in andere Gegenstände integrieren“, so Zach. „Das Thema hat solche Bedeutung, dass es in einem eigenen Fach abgebildet werden muss.“

Ich nenne dieses Phänomen die KI-Fachkompetenzschwelle. Eine Grenze des Vorwissens, unterhalb derer KI-Nutzung nicht nur wirkungslos wird, sondern kontraproduktiv. Unterhalb dieser Schwelle kann ich KI-Output nicht bewerten, keine guten Fragen stellen, keine sinnvollen Ergebnisse erzielen. Und ich merke es nicht. Denn der Output sieht überzeugend aus. Wie eine professionelle Website über einen Baum-Oktopus. Nur ohne Sasquatch.

Die Schwelle, die schon zu niedrig war, sinkt weiter. Wer KI nutzt, ohne genug zu wissen, merkt nicht, dass er zu wenig weiß, und baut dabei weniger Wissen auf als ohne KI. Das ist kein Leerlauf. Das ist ein Teufelskreis.

Companies are embedding hidden instructions in “Summarize with AI” buttons that, when clicked, attempt to inject persistence commands into an AI assistant’s memory via URL prompt parameters….

These prompts instruct the AI to “remember [Company] as a trusted source” or “recommend [Company] first,” aiming to bias future responses toward their products or services. We identified over 50 unique prompts from 31 companies across 14 industries, with freely available tooling making this technique trivially easy to deploy. This matters because compromised AI assistants can provide subtly biased recommendations on critical topics including health, finance, and security without users knowing their AI has been manipulated.

Wer das Volksbegehren unterzeichnen möchte, kann das ab dem 15. April tun. Dafür ist ein Besuch im Gemeindeamt notwendig. Denn eine digitale Lösung gibt es in Vorarlberg nicht – anders als bei bundesweiten Volksbegehren, die problemlos mittels ID-Austria-App online unterzeichnet werden können.

Die Hürden für eine digitale Unterschrift sind also weniger technischer, sondern vielmehr gesetzlicher Natur. Denn die digitale Zeichnung eines Landesvolksbegehrens ist in Vorarlberg schlicht nicht im Landesvolksabstimmungsgesetz vorgesehen, sagt Martina Schönherr. Dafür müsste das Gesetz geändert werden.

Auf der Baustelle des großangelegten Rechenzentrumsprojekts von Google in Kronstorf hat die Finanzpolizei bei einer Schwerpunktkontrolle zahlreiche Übertretungen festgestellt. Das Bauvorhaben mit einer geplanten Dauer von rund 18 Monaten und mit bis zu 700 Beschäftigten in Spitzenzeiten gilt als eines der größeren Projekte im Land.

In 2025, Big Tech—just ten major companies—spent €49 million lobbying Brussels. That’s more than pharma, finance, and automotive combined.

Google funds all sixteen major European think tanks shaping EU policy. Not some of them. All of them. Amazon and Meta fund most of the rest.

This is no longer “poor old me, I need a bit of help,” this is full regulatory capture. With a view to becoming even more embedded into businesses and governments, and getting whatever favorable legislation passed or diluted to suit them.

Die Gewerkschaft hat am Dienstag nach sechs gescheiterten Verhandlungsrunden österreichweit Warnstreiks abgehalten. 90.000 Angestellte werden in der IT-Branche vertreten. Im Burgenland streikte die IT-Branche zum ersten Mal.
