In a CNBC interview Thursday, Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp opined that AI will undermine the influence of “highly educated, often female voters” and empower working class men instead. And anyone who doesn’t realize this political reality, he added, belongs in an “insane asylum.”

From the guy who bragged that he chats with “real Nazis” and mused about how legalizing war crimes would be good for his bottom line comes another zinger that will have you yearn for the days when CEOs acted more like cautious bureaucrats than ‘roided out pro wrestlers.

Mit dem Start der ID Austria vor mehr als zwei Jahren sollte der Alltag der Menschen eigentlich vereinfacht werden. Neben den technischen stehen Interessierten aber nach wie vor bürokratische Hürden im Weg. Für die Ausstellung des digitalen Identitätsnachweises müssen Personen bis zu vier Monate auf einen Termin warten.

Users cannot create a Wero account, but use their existing European bank account. If you want to use Wero, you need to have a current account with a European bank that supports Wero.

For merchants, the situation is similar. There’s no publicly documented Wero API for developers. Wero payments are exclusively made through the payment service providers that Wero partnered and integrated with. The implementations with Wero’s partners are currently relatively simple and are often just a hosted payment page. Your website, shop or app sends the user to a payment link within the browser. Native apps have to use the system’s in-app browser options as there’s currently no native SDK offered by any of Wero’s payment processing partners.

Nach dem erfolgreichen Pilotprojekt bei den Wahlen 2024 wird die Stadt Salzburg heuer weiterentwickelte KI-Phone- und Chatbots für grundlegende Auskünfte per Telefon und Internet einsetzen. Künstliche Intelligenz wird als Amtshilfe eingesetzt, aber von Menschen programmiertIm Melde-, Pass- und Fremdenamt sowie im Gesundheitswesen ist der Einsatz bereits fix vorgesehen.

Europa will weg von US-Technologie. Doch die eigene Wirtschaft bremst – aus Kosten- und Zeitgründen.

Normally the "digital divide" refers to access to technology, but as access becomes less and less of an issue, the real divide is between people who know how to defend themselves from the cruel indifference of technology designers and people who are helpless before their enshittificatory gambits.

"We used an AI to do this" is increasingly a way of saying, "We didn't want to do this in the first place and we don't care if it's done well."

Im Bund steht das Motto Public Money, Public Code bislang vor allem auf dem Papier. Schleswig-Holstein ist weiter, berichtet aber auch über Probleme.

In the past three, we’ve gone from casual users freaking out about their first encounters with ChatGPT to the Pentagon staging industrial-strategy-level fights over whether fully autonomous A.I.s can be deployed in war zones without any human oversight. In the next three? Those exponential curves may not bring us to a new godhead, but the genie doesn’t exactly look like it’s going back in the bottle, either. And those hoping to play a more active role in shaping the future that it’s conjuring will probably have to do more than stop ground from being broken for a few new data centers.

Österreichs Wirtschaftsministerium suchte Ersatz für Skype-for-Business und wurde bei einer Kollaborationslösung aus Deutschland fündig.

KI-Anwendungen sollen die Behörden im Land effizienter machen. Bis KI in die ID Austria einzieht, wird aber noch einige Zeit vergehen

Fast die Hälfte der Beamten geht in den nächsten Jahren in Pension. Die Regierung will gegensteuern und den Bundesdienst modernisieren. Dabei setzt man auf künstliche Intelligenz und betont: „KI soll Menschen unterstützen, nicht ersetzen“.

Microsoft is removing Entra credentials for school and work from jailbroken and rooted devices running iOS and Android.

The process is automatic and there is no opt-out. If Microsoft Authenticator detects that a device has been jailbroken or rooted, it will first display a warning, then block access, and finally wipe credentials. The procedure is already underway for Android devices, and iOS devices will follow in April 2026.

Derzeit entstehen im Großraum Wien drei Rechenzentren des US-Konzerns Microsoft. Unter dem Versprechen der „digitalen Souveränität“ soll Österreich damit seine digitale Zukunft kontrollieren. Während von wachsender Wertschöpfung die Rede ist, wachsen zwei ganz andere Dinge: die Macht von Big Tech und der Ressourcenverbrauch. Mina Fahimi fordert eine Debattenverschiebung.

Die jährlichen Kosten sind abhängig von der konkreten Anzahl des zu lizenzierenden Personals. Für jede Personallizenz sind 25 Schülerlizenzen inbegriffen. Im vergangenen Jahr 2025 etwa betrugen die Gesamtkosten im Zuge des MS-ACH Agreements 3.717.844,89 Euro (inkl. USt.).

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
