Die neueste #Grok - #Elon Story ist zwar lustig (Grok wurde trainiert, um Elon zum Weltbesten $egalwas zu erklären), aber sie zeigt auch schonungslos, was es bedeutet, wenn ein einzelner Milliardär eine #KI kontrolliert, die er als manipulative "Wahrheitsmaschine" auf die Menschheit loslässt. /1

When will Europe stop being part of the technological third world?
During the French-German tech summit in Berlin, digital sovereignty topped the agenda for the first time. Beyond the dozen announcements, both countries got what they wanted.

Sometimes I think the f-word on Bluesky starts with an A - for a lot of early adopters, ads are unthinkable. But ads are not the original sin of social media, social lock-in is. Advertising just needs to be reinvented for the open social web.

📰 "With the 'Digital Omnibus', the #Commission claims to reduce burdens and simplify regulation for businesses. However, this premise rests on a misleading assumption: that Europe’s #innovation is being held back by excessive regulation."

Digital Omnibus: When “Simplification” Becomes a Security Risk
Under the banner of “simplification,” the European Commission plans to revise core pieces of digital protection: from data protection to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. What sounds like cutting red tape could, in reality, erode Europe’s digital safeguards. Instead of clarity and strategic direction, fundamental rights, security, and trust risk being sacrificed to a misguided deregulatory logic.

Let's be realistic about EU digital law simplification, says @paulnemitz.bsky.social at #euroskylive:

As the EU unveils its “Digital Omnibus” today, we're rolling out billboards calling on @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to stop bending to US and Big Tech pressure and enforce our digital laws #StandUpUrsula✊

Great to see @alexandrageese.bsky.social on fire. Takeaways:
1. EU capital investing in US tech instead of European
2. Public procurement power not deployed to prefer EU tech
3. The unbelievable admiration(!) in EC circles for big tech.

But momentum building for building OUR tech #EuroSkyLive

I don't think the Commission understands how much this attack on the GDPR will hurt innovation done by European companies, and instead cement Google's and Meta's position as the inescapable middle-men and turn our SMEs into their cash-cows. WAKE UP!
As we write in The Guardian this morning, the Commission’s plan to gut EU digital rules will hurt Europe’s startups and give U.S. tech an unassailable advantage, confirming Europe as a digital vassal.
