Germany to provide anti-stimulus of NEGATIVE €Billions to un-support its economy (due to completely nonsensical "debt brake" #Schuldenbremse, GER with some of the lowest debt-to-GDP & < 2.3% borrowing cost cancels its battery research investments to "save money") @HalleVerkehrt

So is Putty cutting the funds to some of his propaganda mouthpieces now...?

In Bayern schiebt man allerdings auch bestens integrierte Menschen ab @Markus_Soeder. Zynischerweise betreibt das Bayerische Landesamtes für Asyl und Rückführungen einen Newsticker für „Abschiebeerfolge“ - die abgeschoben Fachkräfte werden da vermutlich unter „Erfolg“ verbucht.

Dobrindt ist schon jetzt der schlechteste Innenminister aller Zeiten – trotz starker Konkurrenz. Das Bonner Konsulat war IT-Knoten afghanischer Vertretungen; jetzt droht, dass Daten von Oppositionellen in die Hände der Taliban fallen.

Nächste implizite Forderung nach "Minderheitsregierung", damit die AfD mit an die Macht kommt. Aber hey... es geht ja nuuuur um die Projekte von CDU Reiche.

The admin's focus on the ideological content of training corpora, and the fact that OpenAI and Google both pay reddit over $60m annually for posts used as training data cannot stay in tension indefinitely. Expect a political fight over reddit's place in the data ecology in 2026.

Es ist ein Skandal, wie die Regierung das Sondervermögen verbrennt. faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/i…

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Odds of the US Government shutdown ending this week rise to 84% on Polymarket.

The CEO of Kraft Heinz, $KHC, has said: “We now have one of the worst consumer sentiments we have seen in decades."

My AI investment thesis is that every AI application startup is likely to be crushed by rapid expansion of the foundational model providers. App functionality will be added to the foundational models' offerings, because the big players aren't slow incumbents (it is wrong to apply the analogy of "fast startup, slow incumbent" here), they are just big. Far more so than with any other prior new technology, there is a massive and fast-moving wave that obsoletes every new app almost as fast as it can be invented. There is almost no time to build a company and scale it. There are two ways AI application startup founders can make money: - Make a flash-in-the-pan app that generates a ton of cash and bank the cash (my estimate is that you have about 12-18 months cashflow generation) - Make a good enough app that you get acquired by one of the big players for sufficient equity The situation is highly unstable - we don't know if it's going to crash or go to the moon but both scenarios make it very unlikely that any AI application startup will independently become a generational supercompany (baseline odds are low to begin with). The best odds are finding an application niche in a highly specialized field with extremely unique and specific data barriers, ideally ones relating to real atoms (hardware or world-related) data and not software/finance.

An diesem Beispiel kann man den Primärenergie-Trugschluss gut erklären. Die Fossil-Lobby spricht immer von den 100%, die beim Verbrennungsmotor initial reingeht, die zu ersetzen seinen. Davon verpufft aber der grösste Teil ungenutzt als heisse Luft. Elektrifiziert man den Transport, benötigt man aufgrund der viel höheren Energie-Effizienz aber ca. 80% weniger Energie für das gleiche Resultat.

Video of a new cemetery in Tyumen, Russia. The thing about this cemetery, is that it is filled with flags of some of Russia`s best trained units. These include Paratroopers, Marines, Spetsnaz, etc. This war is not only about attrition, it is also about military depletion.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent visual story on batteries in FT shows just how far this technology has evolved. Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning. ig.ft.com/mega-batteries/

All of the connecting flights are screwed.

sorry, what?

Pretty weird that Greeks held to their lead for 2400 years
