Persona beruft sich auf das EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), den Nachfolger des Privacy Shield. Das DPF basiert allerdings auf der US-Executive Order 14086, einer präsidialen Anordnung, die jeder künftige Präsident per Federstrich ändern kann. Es handelt sich nicht um ein Gesetz. Die Datenschutzorganisation noyb hat das DPF bereits angefochten. Zudem wurden Anfang 2025 drei von fünf Mitgliedern des US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (der Aufsichtsbehörde für die DPF-Zusicherungen) abberufen, sodass das Gremium seit fast einem Jahr nicht mehr beschlussfähig war.

Der Europäische Datenschutzausschuss (EDPB) hat in seinem Überprüfungsbericht von November 2024 eine Neubewertung innerhalb von drei Jahren empfohlen. Das Europäische Parlament hatte bereits 2023 davor gewarnt, dass das DPF keine wesentliche Gleichwertigkeit herstelle.

Für europäische Nutzer bedeutet das: Der Schutzrahmen, unter dem ihre biometrischen Daten angeblich sicher sein sollen, steht auf fragilen Fundamenten.

The cloud providers and the AI companies are the same companies, and what they have learned is that they can tie up all the high-end hardware for themselves and make it unaffordable for plebs

The hardware companies in turn will be happy to keep prices high even if raw materials are ever more easily available again and demand is (somewhat) lower

Diese Person hatte keine Ahnung, was sie gebaut hatte oder welche Konsequenzen das haben könnte. Die Daten lagen nicht nur offen da: sie wurden auf einem US-Server ohne Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag unverschlüsselt gespeichert, Sprachaufnahmen wurden an grosse US-amerikanische AI-Unternehmen gesendet, und ich wurde nie darüber informiert. So geht man nicht mit medizinischen Patientendaten um.

October 2025: Sam Altman flies to Seoul and signs simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for 900,000 DRAM wafers per month. That's 40% of global supply. Neither company knew the other was signing a near-identical commitment at the same time.

Those deals were letters of intent. Non-binding. No RAM actually changed hands. But the market treated them as gospel. Contract DRAM prices jumped 171%. A 64GB DDR5 kit went from $190 to $700 in three months.

December 2025: Micron kills Crucial, its 29-year-old consumer memory brand, to reallocate every wafer to AI and enterprise customers. The company explicitly said it was exiting consumer memory to "improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments." Translation: the AI demand signal was so loud that selling RAM to PC builders stopped making financial sense.

March 2026: Google publishes TurboQuant, a compression algorithm that reduces AI memory requirements by 6x with zero accuracy loss. Cloudflare's CEO called it "Google's DeepSeek." The entire thesis that AI would consume infinite memory forever just got a six-month expiration date on it.

Same month: OpenAI and Oracle cancel the Abilene Stargate expansion. The $500 billion data center vision that justified the RAM deals couldn't survive its own financing terms. Bloomberg attributed the collapse partly to OpenAI's "often-changing demand forecasting."

MU is now down ~33% from its post-earnings high. Revenue up 196% year over year, EPS up 682%, and the stock is in freefall because the company restructured its entire business around a demand signal that came from non-binding letters and is now being compressed out of existence by a research paper.

Micron bet the consumer division on Sam Altman's signature. The signature was worth exactly what the paper said: nothing binding.
