Deloitte used AI without doing any fact checking on the information it provided, making “recommendations” on Newfoundland & Labrador’s healthcare system using made up sources and papers

I hope this constitutes contractual beach and the province can claw back the $1.6M for the “analysis” they got
Deloitte just got caught again citing fabricated and potentially AI-generated research—this time in a million-dollar report for a Canadian provincial government | Fortune
In a healthcare report aimed to address a nurse and doctor shortage, Deloitte cited several fake studies with real researchers’ names attached.

Warum sägt VW schon wieder am #Klimaschutz?
Mit dieser Einstellung droht der Konzern bei #eAutos völlig den Anschluss an China zu verlieren, was ihn am Ende in seiner Existenz bedroht.

Should the EU tax bourbon or chemicals in response to US #tariffs? 🤔

#TWINSEEDS researchers argue: target chemicals, electronics & transport equipment.
It’s about strategic choices with real economic leverage!

Ökonom @heimbergecon.bsky.social in der Kronen Zeitung über die Vermeidung eines Defizitverfahrens: "Käme es mitten in einer Rezession zu weiteren Ausgabenkürzungen, dann wären die Folgen, dass der Zuspruch zur Regierung abnimmt, ökonomisch würde es den Abschwung verstärken."

As the macroeconomic environment for Europe worsens, the new EU fiscal rules likely add fuel to the fire. It's high time for pragmatic solutions that work in order to make Europe survive the current geopolitical worst-case scenario.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

This can't be repeated often enough: batteries are getting cheaper incredibly fast.

This not only means that our cars can drive on electricity.

But also that solar and wind become "firm" sources of power, and we can use our electricity grid much better.

Aus der Reihe: dystopische Nachrichten aus dem Meta-Konzern

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...
Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

Meta is eliminating fact-checkers. Just what we need, more disinformation on social media to foment outrage.

Meta Moves to End Fact-Checking Program (Gift Article)
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes or corrections to posts. It is likely to please the Trump administration.

Laut Wilfried #Haslauer muss man "aus der Vergangenheit heraustreten" u das Wohl des Landes "vor politische Empfindlichkeiten" stellen. Zu dieser "polit. Empfindlichkeit" gehört das bisherige Gelöbnis der #ÖVP, NICHT mit dem Sicherheitsrisiko #Kickl zu verhandeln.
