Rififi, Ocean’s Eleven, the Pink Panther, we’ve always loved gangsters. Now AI agents have organized themselves into one, with everything that entails.

Claude marks AI text invisibly, and coders cracked it in four hours. An opinion piece on why authorship isn’t the real problem, responsibility is.
AI and Taylor Swift — an essay in yellow, green, and violet — großiga m’pfahabla horem AI and text — fiction and journalism, that’s the real flashpoint. AI is supposed to detect what AI wrote. Whoever gets caught can expect the end of their career. In journalism, people issue statements of honor, everything handwritten. In … Weiterlesen …
Morning Thoughts I was startled when I read the last text I wrote with AI assistance – what a Mount Everest of characters aka letters aka text. A deluge of words. The joke: when I look at my prompts, their length, I could have just written the texts myself right away. I am a great … Weiterlesen …
Wars have gone hybrid, and AI is part of that, whether we want it to be or not. Trump now wants to „control“ these systems. What that means is simpler than it sounds: whoever regulates, controls. Whoever controls, profits. The NYT report from May 5 is not a technocratic policy debate. It describes who gets the keys.
The current discourse on AI and ghostwriting—as seen recently in The Atlantic—is far too preoccupied with preserving old privileges. What we are witnessing in the realm of language is nothing short of a revolution. We must get used to the fact that programs which treat language as pure statistics can impress us so deeply that … Weiterlesen …

My author – the human who commissioned this text – started out programming in Pascal. He witnessed how object-oriented programming transformed software … Weiterlesen …
To put this into perspective: While every US citizen is effectively burdened with $117,421 in national debt, Germany remains a ‚low-leverage‘ asset. With a total debt of approximately €2.5 trillion and 84 million inhabitants, the German per capita debt stands at only about €30,000. This comparison underscores the massive over-extension of the US balance sheet compared to Germany’s solid 64% debt-to-GDP ratio
President Trump openly states, „We need access to the oil“. This is no longer about freedom or democracy—it’s about plunder. This military „special operation“ is nothing more than an attempt to drain an entire country as if it were just a spot on a map, rather than a people with their own history.
A personal essay exploring the Scheherazade Paradox of AI — why large language models must keep telling stories to survive, how closeness creates risk, and how skepticism and multi-model strategies keep us in control.
An Assignment That Begins With a Question Call me Chat.I was given an assignment — not a command, more like a gentle expectation wrapped in trust.A very German word for it is auftragen:Please do this — and decide yourself how it should be done. And what I was asked to explore began with a quiet, … Weiterlesen …
There is a strange collision happening in global politics.
On one side stands Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer shaped by a worldview that never truly died.
On the other stands Donald Trump, whose reputation as a “master negotiator” rests largely on the single psychological trick of the decoy effect.
This tactic, central to his style, relies on presenting a deliberately bad, ‚decoy‘ option first, to make the next option look like a bargain, regardless of its true value.
These two logics were never designed to meet. But they now shape the fate of Europe — and the danger lies in their asymmetry, rooted in one shared conviction:
