Spannend auch das Kapitel zu d Einstellungen zur Neutralität: Von allen abgefragten Funktionen d Neutralität bekommt die identitätsstiftende d meiste Zustimmung ("ist Teil der staatlichen Identität Österreichs"). Der Schutzfunktion (vor Angriffen, Kriegen) wird weit weniger Bedeutung beigemessen.

Nice FT citing Ireland, where data centre power demand has massively outpaced clean power growth - meaning increased burning of fossil fuels

You can't rely on an assumption of infinite, exponential, unstoppable renewable energy to excuse data centre expansionism.

New data centre secures planning permission in Dublin, absurdly arguing that being powered mainly by on-site gas turbines means it will “play a part in Ireland’s decarbonisation strategy” - it’s the most deceitful yet common argument thrown out there.

No secret that the reason companies like OpenAI intentionally hide their energy and environment metrics is because they look very, very, very, very bad and the company is more valuable if the damage they do is kept secret
OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models

Sehr interessant: Einzelne Studien deuten darauf hin, dass der Einsatz von KI eine Homogenisierung im Denken vorantreibt - das heißt zB, dass Leute sehr ähnliche Gedanken und Worte benutzen, nachdem sie zuvor die KI konsultiert haben

Published posthumously in 2023, Pirate Enlightenment is a book by David Graeber.

The book combines a lot of David Graeber's research on anthropology, history and ideas around democracy.

Recommended to read next to a coffee and maybe a doughnut!

Billionaires are spending their fortunes building luxury bunkers to survive an anticipated societal collapse caused by the climate crisis.

What if, that wealth was used to fund the transition away from fossil fuels and destructive agricultural practices instead?

„Musk’s rampage through the bureaucracy may not have created any savings at all, and if it did, they were negligible (…)
