🇪🇺 The EU is now for the 6th time trying to force Chat Control through which lets them scan ALL your private messages, photos and emails without a warrant

Implictly showing the EU is not democratic and not about what the people of Europe want, because once a law is rejected, you just re-submit it until nobody is watching and it's passed

November 2023: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
June 2024: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
October 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
November 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
March 2026: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
July 2026: 📝 Chat Control is back

Even the EU's own lawyers stated Chat Control is unconstitutional: "generalised message scanning is incompatible with Article 7 of the EU Charter"

You have to wonder why the EU is so adament about reading your private chats, right?

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.

Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.

Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)

Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."

Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!

Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

While the whole world is fully focused on artificial intelligence and expanding technological infrastructure, an unbelievable act of surveillance is currently being pushed through the European Parliament, even though it has already been rejected twice.

What chat control is about:

The EU wants to allow platforms once again to scan private messages. Officially, this is “voluntary”, but in practice it is another step toward indiscriminate surveillance of private communication.

What makes this especially questionable:

Chat control has already been rejected twice in the European Parliament. Yet now it is supposed to come back, through an urgent procedure.

But there is no real urgency. The transitional regulation has already expired, and Parliament would have time for proper deliberation. Instead, the issue is supposed to be rushed through the plenary shortly before the summer break.

And the trick is obvious:

To stop chat control, a simple majority of the MEPs present is not enough. It requires an absolute majority of all MEPs. Anyone who is absent effectively helps the supporters.

In other words: a massive infringement on digital fundamental rights is supposed to be pushed through after all, by exploiting timing, procedural logic and parliamentary absence, even though Parliament has already rejected it.

This is not a clean democratic process. This is the erosion of fundamental rights through a procedural trick.

So instead of discussing the truly important issues, such as how to bring frontier intelligence to Europe, whether through excellent open-source models or deals with US frontier labs; instead of discussing how to build our own compute capacity through data centers; instead of solving the energy problem, probably the biggest bottleneck, they are acting against the interests of EU citizens, expanding surveillance, expanding regulation and doing all of this against the will of the people.

A dark day for Europe. I would appreciate it if you shared this issue. The video by Martin Sonneborn that I am sharing is worth watching. The whole world should know about this. (The speech he gave is in german, hopefully there is a translation somewhere)

Thank you for your attention.

I am so deeply disappointed by the US gov. It was apparently a mistake to think this administration had a good sense to support American AI models.
However, I also put more blame on the cult of Anthropic & Dario Amodei. All that fearmongering both achieved its goal & backfired!

[Chetaslua @chetaslua]

🚨 Biggest takeaway from this launch

Btw f@ck you dario for fear mongering and now making sota unreachable for us peasants

On ExploitBench², GPT‑5.6 Sol is competitive with Mythos Preview using only ~1/3 of the output tokens.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

….Was für eine Start-up Geschichte. Wahnsinn!

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.

NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).

Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.

This is simply a fact

[MichaeloKeeffe @Mick_O_Keeffe]

Foreign born population of each country :

Jan 2001 Jan 2025
🇦🇹 8.7% 22.5%
🇧🇪 8.4% 20.2%
🇩🇰 4.8% 14.4%
🇫🇷 5.5% 14.0%
🇩🇪 8.9% 20.5%
🇬🇷 6.9% 11.0%
🇮🇸 3.1% 21.8%
🇮🇪 4.0% 23.3%
🇱🇺 37.5% 51.5%
🇳🇱 4.1% 16.8%
🇳🇴 4.1% 18.7%
🇸🇮 2.1% 15.5%
🇪🇸 3.4% 19.3%
🇸🇪 5.3% 20.8%
🇬🇧 4.3% 20.0%

Now add children born to foreign parents and the situation looks even worse.

We are living through the demographic annihilation of the people of Europe.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Luca Signorelli è un eroe. È uno dei passanti che ha fermato la furia omicida dell’uomo di origini marocchine che oggi ha seminato violenza e terrore a #Modena. Nonostante fosse ferito si è immolato per salvare la vita di chi era lì. Lo ringrazio per questo valoroso gesto di altruismo, un esempio per tutti.
