Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

@DB_Bahn neues Level an non-Customer Support unlocked:
Support nur via Telefon-Hotline, nach 15 min Wartezeit "Ich kann Sie leider nicht hören, rufen Sie nochmal an" und aufgelegt, obwohl beiden Seiten klar ist, dass man gut zu hören ist.

@Rivernfa the person behind it just came out! @maiktwehmeyer https://t.co/8sScHVdotK

[Maik Taro Wehmeyer @MaikTWehmeyer]

Time to reveal who let the 🦞 out ;) Today, @Taktile launches Taktile Labs. We dropped the lobster on Wall Street to ask the question: are banks ready for autonomous agents?

With our applied AI research institute, we aim to bridge the gap between what frontier models can now do - and what regulated institutions need in order to trust it.

Our first benchmark shows the latest models can beat human accuracy on very complex banking tasks: 96%+ vs. 89% in financial spreading.

The models are ready. Now the industry needs evidence, benchmarks, and practical frameworks to ensure they work reliably at scale.

That is what Taktile Labs is built for.

AI is coming to financial services - let's make sure we can trust it.

Excited to drive this with a stacked internal team and many incredible individuals on our Research Council and Advisory Board.

Thanks to Bradesco’s Fagner Abreu, Parallel’s @paraga , Morgan Stanley’s Tom Glocer, Harvard Business School Professors Robin Greenwood and Karim Lakhani, Harvey’s Ben Liebald, Camunda’s Daniel Meyer, Cursor’s Jonas Nelle, ROC Partners’ Tina Reich, Equifax’s Harald Schneider, Suno’s @MikeyShulman, Intuit’s Henry Venturelli, Allianz Partners’ Pieter Viljoen, Flexcar’s Michael Zambrano, and Varo Bank’s Jill Zucker Sheckman.

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing.

86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment!

🔌OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down.

This is why I’ve been bearish on language learning for years. Unless you live or work full-time somewhere, better to master another craft while letting AI do the translation

[Pawel Chudzinski @pawell]

It is time to change the narrative!

The negative vibes around European tech have been bothering and confusing me.

The growth of Euro tech over the last 10-15 years has been truly spectacular, so why give up now to the negativity and inferiority complex vs. the US?

That is why I am super excited to contribute to @ProjectEurope_ alongside 100+ European founders, @20vcFund and @adjacent.

Together we will be backing and supporting technical European founders at the earliest stages of their journeys.

Thanks for having us and let's do it! 🇪🇺🤖🚀
