I need yall to know that this is still the best essay written about the current German mind. You won't get it anywhere else and really speaks to the heart (or should I say, subconscious) of rising German racism and die-hard support for Israel.
I just read this yesterday and it just blows my mind that hating Germany isn't just the common sense position lol.

I develop tools for artists and I’m personally just adding ✨emojis to buttons to keep the MBAs off my case. This year my group got highlighted by the CEO as the model group for AI implementation. We don’t use any AI.

There is a paradoxical situation with AI chatbots: they don’t have access to paywalled quality content (enclosed knowledge commons), which reduces the quality of their outputs, but they do have access to our personal data, which increases the risk of manipulation. It should be the opposite.

i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Why is the far right triumphing across the West?
Because ordinary citizens are told they're trapped in a zero-sum game - competing with migrants for scarce resources.
This is a lie.
