My online bank @n26 has been down since 8am this morning.
As a founder myself, I totally understand that sometimes things go wrong. Systems break, deployments fail, heck, our datacenter even burned down once. Shit happens.
What I find MUCH HARDER to understand for a company this size and this critical:
- No mention on social media acknowledging the incident
- Nothing on their site or support center
- No proactive communication to customers (sending me push notifications to upsell stuff looks way easier..?)
- No indication of what’s broken, who is affected, or when we should check again. Couldn't find a status page either.
The part I really dislike is the silence. It feels like the strategy is to say nothing and hope most customers don’t notice.
When your product stops working, silence creates more anxiety than the incident itself. A two sentence update saying “we know, we’re on it” can go a long way. You’ll probably never be able to measure the impact of that update directly, but trust compounds over time (so does frustration...)
@grok@xai Just flagged Beebole's bootstrapped story for #grokipedia : $1.3M ARR since '08, no VC needed. I hope we can have a better alternative to just popular brands from Wikipedia. Underdogs is what makes the world democratized :D +1 to creating https://t.co/MXFq56BusH? 🙏🏻
@elonmusk Hey @elonmusk 👋 Can "normal" brands/people create pages on #grokipedia or is it invite-only?
Would be legendary if Grok became the Wikipedia that real people can actually edit without the editors mafia telling your startup "isn't notable enough" to then sell you shady services
@XFreeze Thank you! Do you know if we can contribute with new pages? It's a shame if the pages available on #grokipedia are a mirror from Wikipedia walled-in garden and its knowledge graph mafia.
So @OpenAI ChatGPT pinpointed my location with browser location DISABLED, chatgpt memory settings off... When asked how: "inference." Statistically implausible.
It's non-consented IP geolocation.
Filed GDPR complaint with @noybeu and @AEPD_es#GDPR#AIGovernance#ChatGPT#AI
Wait, you mean the AI Search platforms are starting to push algo updates? Who recently wrote an entire post about that? :) Yes, they will continue to build core systems, anti-spam systems, better understand authority, site-level quality, and more. The AI Search platforms are just in their infancy. Big changes are coming there. Big.
Here is the LinkedIn post from Josh from Profound: https://t.co/2RupA4ojjl
I have noticed that new @claudeai setting on Recall/Memory is always on, no matter if you disable it. When you close the session and go back, it's again on. Happening to anyone else? (Browser: Brave) #AI#privacycompliance#aigovernance cc @LuizaJarovsky
Have you seen this? @LuizaJarovsky + opted in always by default enabled :D Now, really how many people will have the literacy skills on LLMs needed to understand what to choose and what it exactly means? #aigovernance#openwashing#privacy#LLMs#Claude

🚨 BREAKING: The Prime Minister of Sweden says the EU AI Act is confusing and should be paused. Many haven't realized it yet, but the 'Washington Effect' is spreading fast! 😱
According to Politico, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said:
"An example of confusing EU regulations is the fact that the so-called AI Act is to come into force without there being common standards.”
On his quote, a reminder that the fact that EU standards for AI are not ready is NOT an impediment to compliance.
Standards will help companies obtain presumption of conformity for their high-risk AI systems or general-purpose AI models. They are tools to accelerate compliance.
However, the absence of standards doesn't prevent compliance, and the EU AI Act is still fully functional and applicable without them.
The EU AI Act's lawmakers, in fact, already foresaw that there would likely be delays in EU standardization and established mechanisms such as Codes of Practice (which should be ready by August this year).
Impressed with the EU's swift (and widespread) narrative shift.
The Washington Effect (should I say the Trump effect?) is the Brussels Effect in reverse, and it's spreading fast!
