Prince Andrew has finally been arrested! 🥳
But not for what you think:
www.bbc.com/news/live/c7...
First arrest from the #EpsteinFiles, who's next?!
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office
It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

Detecting all AI content is close to impossible, I suspect only Googles algorithms are still reliably capable of it.

Governments seem too slow with AI-labelling regulation, while companies even endorse AI content.

Adam instead proposes human content verification, however we likely will need both.
We're unprepared for AI's big threat.

It isn't just deepfakes. It’s a world where nothing is trusted, including real evidence.

I wrote in Poynter about fake images from MN, Trump's Maduro photo, and AI "enhanced" ICE agent faces.

Instead of labeling what's fake, we need ways to label what's real.
The real threat of AI is the collapse of trust - Poynter
Why journalism needs to prove which images are authentic — not just label deepfakes

This quote sounds like a fitting review:
"Hello Mister President, congratulations!"
"Did you watch it?"
"No, I did not - I will see it on the news"

It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅

Not one(!) after:
#Meta "had funneled some $73 billion into Reality Labs. To put that into context, you’d have to spend $1 million per day for 200 years to match that..."

🇩🇪 The #German government actually went ahead and did it, sometimes they do listen hehe ;)

gov.de is live! 🥳
Opinion:
#Germany (& others) should get a .gov #domain for their governmental websites e.g.: ".gov.de"

This would help:
1) #Authentification as #government both nationally & especially internationally
2) Unification of domains & easier discoverability of #gov institutions (esp. for foreigners)

🇺🇸 Sometimes feels to me like there is no real #EU foreign-policy thread, just what the US wants & how much of it the #US gets.

If you are reliant on 1 partner, you become dependent:

☑️ Military presence¹
☑️ No 1 trading partner²
☑️ Main energy supplier³
☑️ Nuclear weapons stationed⁴

📦 This is not only via Amazon, it's common practice, many many packages from China I have checked are mislabeled either in content or price.

Has anyone else ever noticed that? If so from where did you order? Please let me know below ⬇️

I believe Europeans need to worry more about Chat Control / ProtectEU.

It is absolutely dystopian and can not be allowed to be implemented!
