Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

In the face of Big Tech gatekeepers dragging their feet on the #DMA and now enlisting the US government to fight off EU laws, the EU must hold its ground or lose its credibility, argue Vanessa Turner and Sébastien Pant in this new blog post. blog.beuc.eu/eu-must-enfo...

25 February 1931 | A German Jewish boy, Gert Wolfgang Schönfeld, was born in Berlin. In February 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

24 February 1911 | A Czech Jewish woman, Markéta Jorellová, was born in Mladá Boleslav. She was deported to #Auschwitz from the Theresienstadt ghetto on 1 February 1943. She did not survive.

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

If Europe hopes to safeguard its own sovereignty and values, it must strategically decouple and dramatically lessen its dependence on US tech companies that are either seeking confrontation or are otherwise vulnerable to being weaponised by Washington ↘️https://on.ft.com/4hJDSFF

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

WhatsApp is now a Very Large platform in the EU, and will face tougher regulation

Never thought that saving Europe from fascism would mean praying for German rearmament. But here we are.

The Trump administration is forcing out senior leadership at the National Archives and Records Administration in a major shakeup, according to a source

Generative KI ist in einem sehr fundamentalen Sinne ahistorisch: Die Vergangenheit scheint vollständig verfügbar, aber bloß als Ressource der Extraktion von variierbaren Mustern, nicht als interpretierbarer Prozess. Es gibt im latent space nur statistische Ähnlichkeiten, keine Zeitlichkeit
