Was mich hier echt bedrückt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den großen Bühnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hätten - wenn sie ihn nutzen würden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.

SXSW 2025: Warum ist der Faschismus hier kein Thema?
Auf der Tech-Konferenz SXSW in Austin zeigt sich, wieso der Widerstand gegen die aktuelle US-Politik so klein ist. Geschwiegen wird aus Angst – und weil es um Geld geht.Eva Wolfangel (ZEIT ONLINE)

The whole point of reducing and capturing the radiation from the sun with a raised system is that you reduce the local temperature under the panel, allowing increased cropping and grazing by animals that can also shelter.

Mr Meta-Facebook is throwing his weight around, desperately trying to have this book withdrawn (he is a big supporter of free speech) so obviously it's best others don't read it or share this information... he's already... errrm... 'obtained' an injunction preventing the author from further promoting it herself.
Thanks to science, another spanish flu style catastrophe as in 1918 was prevented.
"The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. The technology for building new, effective vaccines quickly came on in leaps and bounds. Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct."

*DARK MAGA* If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown: Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company… | 340 comments on LinkedInJon Sneider (www.linkedin.com)
The article has some useful context about Musk's career, notably what a sleazeball he has always been in his business and public dealings. It also points up the way governments have refused to do their regulatory jobs – and, less explicitly, how journalism has been a lapdog along the way.
But as it accurately points out Musk's desperate efforts to slow or reverse the well-deserved slide at Tesla, it doesn't get into the truly scary stuff. Namely, Musk won't give a damn about Tesla or its shareholders if his coup (per the first piece in this newsletter) succeeds. If he can divert U.S. government spending even more (see: SpaceX) into his bank accounts, Tesla will be an afterthought. Everything we know about this guy says there are no boundaries on his lust for money, and power. - @dangillmor

“Wait, not like that”: Free and open access in the age of generative AI
The real threat isn’t AI using open knowledge — it’s AI companies killing the projects that make knowledge freeMolly White (Citation Needed)
Instead of worrying about “wait, not like that”, I think we need to reframe the conversation to “wait, not only like that” or “wait, not in ways that threaten open access itself”.
Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. By operating in this purely extractive way, they destroy the things that underpin their businesses.
