Thank you for pointing out that Europe is building differently precisely because of our critique. This is not a weakness – it is our form of sovereignty.

Study: GenAI reshapes knowledge work (software, data, accounting) but leaves hands-on jobs like care largely untouched.
Few tasks are fully automatable. This means: adapt skills, keep learning, stay competitive.

Tim Berners-Lee reminds us: the web was given away for free so it could work for everyone.

In AI, the lesson is clear: leaving development to companies won’t empower individuals. We need to restore the web as a space of collaboration, creativity, and compassion.

Why do language models hallucinate?

Not because they’re “broken” – but because training rewards them for giving plausible answers, even when uncertain.
Benchmarks punish “I don’t know,” so bluffing is rewarded.

AI is no longer just a software feature – it has become infrastructure, geopolitics, and society.
Whoever controls chips, clouds, data, and standards will control the future.

Europe must act now to build digital sovereignty.

LLMs struggle with symbolic planning.
A new paper shows how instruction tuning with logical CoT steps + an external validator (VAL) makes them far more reliable.

Results: up to 94% valid plans vs. 28–35% in baselines.

Ed, it is not a bubble about to burst but rather a classic hype cycle.
We are in the phase of over-enthusiasm, which will inevitably be followed by disillusionment. We have seen this pattern many times before with technologies.

Google is now required to share click-through data with qualified competitors.

This self-reinforcing loop is the core issue with Big Tech platforms: scale isn’t just an advantage — it
shuts the door on competition.

Es sind nicht nur die Services, sondern deren Integration in das Betriebssystem und dessen Basierung auf Hardware. Blickt man auf den gesamten Stack, wird erst die Abhängigkeit deutlich. Es gibt praktisch keine Alternative in Chips und OS.
harald-klinke.de
Länger als du denkst, weil der Ausstieg und der Einstieg in Services nicht so einfach ist. Erst wenn man raus will, merkt man wie abhängig man sich gemacht hat. Ich probiere es auch gerade mit Nextcloud etc.
Aber halte uns auf dem laufenden!
