Die Siri/EU-Thematik ist noch absurder, als man vermutet hätte.

Es geht darum, dass Apple in der EU nicht starten kann, weil der DMA so ausgelegt wird, dass dann auch alle andere KI-Assistenten tief ins System dürfen müssten.

Und „tief ins System“ heißt hier:

Zugriff auf private Daten, Steuerung installierter Apps, Nachrichten lesen und senden, Dateien öffnen, Käufe auslösen, Aktionen in beliebigen Apps ausführen.

Apple hatte dafür wohl einen „Trusted System Agent“ vorgeschlagen: eine Art Sicherheits-Mittler, damit Drittanbieter-Assistenten Fähigkeiten bekommen, ohne direkt alles aufzureißen. Die EU hat das laut Apple abgelehnt.

End-to-end neural networks racing drones in Abu Dhabi! 🚁

Check out the drone racing team from Delft University of Technology!

A completely end-to-end neural network solution, from pixels to direct motor commands.

There are no Kalman filters, and no computer vision feature detectors.

As they nicely put it in their article: "Just neurons flying the drone."

The challenge is extreme. These drones fly at high speeds and need split-second decisions with minimal onboard resources: a single rolling-shutter camera and an IMU.

Their approach is called SkyDreamer, based on the Dreamer-v3 reinforcement learning algorithm.

First, a world model is trained in simulation. Then, the neural network learns how to fly in its dreams through reinforcement learning. The network's internal state can be read out to see where it thinks it is on the track or how fast it's going.

Even better, the drone estimates some of its own body characteristics during flight, like the camera angle relative to the body, eliminating time-consuming manual calibration.

The system uses only a single camera and the gyros from the IMU, ignoring the accelerometers, just like human FPV pilots do.

Glass on web has been achieved. The greatest invention since the drop shadow.

[Denis Yurchak @denisyurchak]

On my 7th birthday, my father gave me a set of toy trains. My favourite one was a German high-speed ICE train.

I spent hours playing with it - it was white and futuristic, like a shuttle from Star Wars, and I dreamt of riding one when I grew up

Today, my dream came true, but it wasn't as I expected

The train arrived 25 minutes late, the WiFi didn’t work, the water in the WC barely ran, and conductors constantly warned of pickpockets

Germans, are you getting this back on track?

Everyone can use @elonmusk's "Magic Wand Number" and "Idiot Index"

They're universal ideas, helpful in any industry.

This is a good example of how AI news gets distorted.

The example is from Tagesschau, the most watched news program in Germany.

Anthropic says more than 80% of code merged into its codebase was authored by Claude -> they turn that into: "AI can invent 80% of new AI itself"

Anthropic says Claude achieved a ~52× speedup on a small-model training-code optimization benchmark -> they turn that into "AI trains itself 52× faster"

Anthropic says Claude shipped 800+ API-error fixes in April 2026, and that the overseeing engineer estimated a human would have taken four years to complete the work -> they turn that into "AI completes 4 years of work in 4 days"

Alle deutschen Milliardäre zusammen besitzen rund 750 Mrd. €.

Selbst bei ihrer vollständigen Enteignung könnte man nicht einmal ein Jahr den deutschen Sozialstaats finanzieren.

Die Frage ist nicht, wie man Vermögen einmalig verteilt, sondern wie man es langfristig vermehrt.

Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

[Alain Meier @alain]

Discovered a new method for detecting if someone is using Incognito in Chrome:

Write 512 tiny 1-byte responses into a scratch Cache API cache, then read:

https://t.co/gsVNLl57y6.estimate().usageDetails.caches

Normal Chrome: ~393kb
Incognito: ~85kb

Why? When you're in incognito, Chrome writes to memory instead of disk, which leaves less metadata residue

Someone hid a self-replicating worm inside 37 npm packages.

Written in Rust.

Hidden behind an eBPF kernel rootkit.

Talking to its operator over Tor.

It steals 86 environment variables.

AWS keys. GCP keys. Vault secrets. Kubernetes tokens.

Your Anthropic API key. Your OpenAI key.

Your Exodus wallet seed phrase.

Then it uses your own npm credentials to republish itself into your packages.

So your code infects the next developer.

Who infects the next one.

The commits were backdated up to 13 years.

The commit author name was “claude.”

The malware named itself after the AI to hide in plain sight.

The attacker also left their own wallet recovery phrase in the debug data.

Nobody is having a good day.

Check your preinstall hooks.

Buckle up

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
