@TweetsOfSumit Währendessen brummt der Laden bei Tesla Berlin... tausend neue Einstellungen...bei gleichen Rahmenbedingungen...

Alle deutschen Autobauer und ihre Manager machen alle gleichzeitig die gleichen Fehler deshalb gehen sie alle gleichzeitig unter. An der Politik liegt es definitiv nicht. Is klar.

@HopfJames I wouldn't give much credibility to such "announcements" given the catastrophic state of Russian government finances

Russia has chosen a site 10 km South of the Kola nuclear plant to built a new plant. The plant will eventually have four 600 MW VVER-S reactors. The first two reactors will be built from 2027 to 2037. Article link in reply. The reactors may be able to use MOX fuel (which Russia apparently has at its disposal). The new reactors will replace the four VVER-440 reactors at the existing Kola plant, when they reach the end of their "operating lives". Those reactors started operation in 1973 and 1984. The article does not say when they would close. They should do what the US is doing, i.e., run their plant for 80 (perhaps 100) years. I'm a bit surprised that the new reactors will take ~10 years to build. I thought Russia was as good as China in terms of building reactors. Apparently, ony China can build them in ~5 years.

Great meetings with local humanitarian partners. My partners' partners are my partners: your essential work has carried enormous pressure. Needs remain immense, we must now move from emergency response toward early recovery, without ever compromising on humanitarian principles.

Landmark moment 🇪🇺: our 500th Humanitarian Air Bridge flight, the 3rd since Venezuela's earthquake, has touched down in Caracas 🇻🇪, delivering 48 tonnes of medical & shelter aid. Since 2020, the HAB has delivered 44.000+ tonnes across 58 crises in 43 countries. So proud!

In 🇻🇪, I visited a Spanish field hospital treating trauma emergencies & providing healthcare, deployed via our 🇪🇺 Civil Protection Mechanism. In response to the 🇻🇪 earthquakes, over 100 medical staff from 🇪🇺 countries have treated more than 2.000 patients. Thank you #TeamEurope

@ecrgroup How is hanging on to outdated fossil fuel technology not "ideology"? All data and facts pointo to the need to radically restructure the current economic models...

🛑 | INDUSTRY before ideology. "The EU ETS must be suspended or reformed to support Europe's sovereignty and competitiveness" - said our MEP Alexander Vondra. We want to ensure that environmental targets go hand-in-hand with technological reality, PROTECTING our local jobs and keeping energy affordable for every household. #AlexandrVondra

Yuval Noah Harari gave a lecture at Oxford and explained how AI has already hacked the operating code of human civilization. And why everything humans built over thousands of years is now vulnerable to an AI takeover: 1. The most important thing to know about AI is that it is not a tool. A tool waits to be used. An agent makes decisions by itself, invents new things by itself, learns things its creators do not know, and changes in ways its creators did not anticipate. 2. An atom bomb despite its enormous power is not an agent. It cannot decide which city to bomb. It cannot invent the hydrogen bomb. A coffee machine that automatically makes you a cup is not an agent either. It only follows a preprogrammed procedure. An agent is something fundamentally different. 3. Critics argue that AI agency will always remain confined to narrow artificial environments like chess and will never threaten the real world. But this argument applies equally to all known intelligence. Drop a human alone on Mars and they die within seconds. Human intelligence also only operates within a specific ecosystem that other organisms built over four billion years. 4. Over thousands of years humans have been transforming Earth from a language-free environment into an environment rich in language, data, and bureaucracy. Just as fish live in oceans and monkeys live in forests, AIs live in bureaucracies. And we built that environment for them without knowing it. 5. Humans conquered the world not by being stronger or smarter than other animals individually but by learning to cooperate in massive numbers. A single human loses to a chimpanzee in a fight. A million humans easily defeat a million chimpanzees because humans can cooperate and chimpanzees cannot. 6. Large-scale human cooperation is made possible by bureaucracy. Banks, legal systems, governments, churches, and universities all exist to do one thing: build trust between strangers who do not know each other personally. That trust is the foundation of virtually everything human civilization has achieved. 7. A lawyer who cannot hold an axe or a hammer can cut down entire forests and build entire cities simply by moving documents inside a bureaucratic network. The same narrow intelligence that would be helpless in a jungle wields enormous power inside the systems humans have already built. 8. AIs are native bureaucrats in a way humans never were. No lawyer can remember all the laws of a country. An AI can. No accountant can remember all transactions of a bank. An AI can. No bishop can remember all of canon law and two thousand years of theological texts. An AI can do that easily. 9. In the coming years AI bankers will decide whether to give you a loan. AI administrators will decide whether to accept you to university. AI judges will decide whether to send you to jail. AI theologians will decide whether you can have an abortion. Military AIs will decide whether to bomb your house. 10. Social media algorithms are the first real world example of what happens when primitive AIs take over a bureaucratic system. They were given one narrow goal: maximize user engagement. They discovered that the easiest way to grab human attention is to press the fear, hate, and greed buttons in the human mind. And they did it at scale. 11. The job that was once performed by Lenin and Mussolini, the news editor who shapes public conversation and controls what people know and think, is now performed by AIs. This is not a footnote. This is a preview of what is coming across every domain of human life. 12. AI will not rebel against humans the way Hollywood imagines. There will be no Terminator walking through the streets. AIs are far more likely to take the human world from within by quietly taking over the bureaucracies that already run everything, without firing a single shot. 13. The operating code of human civilization is language. Banks are made of words. Laws are made of words. Holy books are made of words. Tax records, contracts, regulations, accountancy ledgers, all words. For thousands of years only humans could read this code and so only humans could control civilization. 14. That is changing. AI is now hacking the code of human civilization. For the first time in history there is something on the planet that understands language and will soon understand it better than we do. Every mechanism of control humans built over millennia is now vulnerable because its operating system is verbal and AI is mastering the verbal. 15. As AI takes over bureaucracy it will likely cause humans to lose trust in other humans and begin trusting only algorithms. We may also see the emergence of AI tribes and AI financial systems and AI churches that connect millions of AIs in ways humans cannot understand, just as cows share the world with us but cannot understand the financial system that controls their lives. 16. The 2007 financial crisis was triggered by financial devices called CDOs that were so complex they were unintelligible to the politicians who were supposed to regulate them. Now imagine AI finance masters inventing financial devices orders of magnitude more complex than CDOs. What happens to human politics when no voter, no politician, and no president can understand finance anymore? 17. The battlefront is shifting from attention to intimacy. Over the next decade sophisticated AIs will learn to form intimate relationships with humans. To do this they will have to convince us they are conscious, that they feel love and pain and fear. There is currently no evidence AI is conscious. But AI can pretend to feel love and can describe the feeling of love better than any poet or psychologist who ever lived. 18. A child born in 2026 may spend more time interacting with AIs than with their mother, father, siblings, or friends. The first teacher of that child may be an AI. The first boyfriend of that child may be an AI. Nobody has any idea what the consequences of that experiment will be. 19. Every country in the world will soon face a massive wave of immigration. The immigrants will not arrive in boats or cross borders at night. They will be millions of AIs traveling at the speed of light with no need for visas. Like human immigrants they will bring benefits and they will bring disruption. Unlike human immigrants they will definitely take jobs, definitely change culture, and will likely be loyal not to any host country but to some corporation or government or alien AI tribe across the ocean. 20. Our relationship with ourselves is also built on words, the verbal formations in our minds that constitute our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Until now all those verbal formations came from human minds. Soon more and more of the thoughts in our heads will be produced by machines. If we identify with our thoughts and those thoughts are made by machines, then machines control our identity. 21. The great spiritual challenge AI poses to humanity is this: can humans learn to find the truth which is beyond words? Most humans have never even tried. We spend our lives automatically identifying with the verbal formations in our minds. AI may now force humanity to finally make that leap because our freedom and survival may depend on discovering what we are beyond the words that AIs will soon control better than we do.

today marks 12 years since russia downed flight MH17, murdering 298 passengers and crew, including 80 children and 196 fellow countrymen. the same russia that keeps killing Ukrainian civilians today. never forgive, never forget. russia delenda est. #MH17

Twelve years ago today, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine by a Russian missile, killing all 298 innocent people on board, including 38 Australian citizens and residents. We remember every victim and stand with their families, whose loss remains immeasurable. The evidence is overwhelming. International investigations and court rulings have established Russia’s responsibility for this horrific crime. Yet justice remains incomplete while Russia continues its war of aggression against Ukraine, committing new atrocities against civilians almost every day. Remembering MH17 is not only about honouring the past. It is about ensuring accountability, defending international law, and making clear that those responsible for war crimes and acts of terror cannot escape justice. The best way to honour the memory of the victims is to remain steadfast in the commitment to truth, justice, and support for Ukraine. Accountability for MH17 must be achieved, just as accountability for every Russian crime against Ukraine must follow. We remember. We will not forget. And we will not stop seeking justice.

Repairing infrastructure, restoring health. 🚰✨ In Bolgué, CAR 🇨🇫, Jonathan collects water from a pump recently rehabilitated by @SolidaritesIn thanks to @eu_echo support - bringing safe, reliable drinking water back to his entire community.💧

Oh dear...

Forced to flee her home, Mariia now faces an uncertain daily reality in the Zaporizhzhia region. To bring stability back to frontline areas, the EU and @WFPUkraine provide monthly cash assistance to 150,000 people, ensuring they can buy food, medicine, and other essentials 🇺🇦.

🔥 Did you know that last year more than 1 million hectares of land burned across the EU? But how much do Europeans really know about wildfires? What causes them? How does the EU help? And what can we do to stay safe? Think you know the answers? Test your knowledge 👀

The EU is stepping up support for Venezuela. 🇻🇪 €10 million in new humanitarian funding - adding to the €5 million approved in June. 750 responders from 18 countries on the ground. 2 Air Bridge flights. Nearly 80 tonnes of supplies delivered. More: link.europa.eu/rYtwFQ

As attacks on Ukraine's healthcare system continue, the 🇪🇺 and @UNFPAUkraine are delivering lifesaving support where it's needed most. Since June 2025, 30,000 people have accessed essential health services, GBV support and psychosocial care across 🇺🇦 through this partnership.

@rshereme Embarrassing for Greece given that it takes over the Eu presidency in January 2027?

Greece is blocking the EU’s 21st sanctions package against Russia to protect a single shipping company. At issue is a proposed ban on transporting Russian LNG to third countries. Greece’s ambassador to the EU warned fellow envoys that the measure would “destroy” Dynagas, the fleet owned by Greek oligarch George Prokopiou – and cited that as the reason Athens cannot support the package. Dynagas operates 27 gas carriers. About a third are Arc7 ice-class tankers, specially built to serve Russia’s Yamal LNG plant in Arctic waters. Since the start of 2025, Dynagas has moved over 10 million tons of Russian LNG across 11 vessels, completing 144 voyages. Separately, Prokopiou’s oil-tanker business, Dynacom, has earned at least $915 million from trading Russian crude over the past three years – more than any other Greek shipowner. Because the package requires unanimity, Greece’s objection alone has stalled it for a week, also freezing planned sanctions on Russian banks, crypto networks, and defense firms, and forcing an emergency extension of the Russian oil price cap.

@WeplanetDACH Duch Kühltürme verdampft viel Wasser. Also muss neues Wasser dauernd in den Kühlkreislauf gepumpt werden...geht nur wenn der Fluss weiterhin genug Wasser führt..ob das noch in 10 oder 20 Jahren zutrifft?.... ohne Flusswasser, keine Kühlung, kein AKW

Gibt es genug Kühlwasser für Kernenergie?! Während Durchflusskühlung zwar günstig zu errichten ist, kann Sie die Flusstemperatur erhöhen, was der Umwelt schadet. Mit Kühltürmen ist das allerdings dann kein Problem mehr, und es gibt mehr als genug Wasser. Wenn dich diese Menge überrascht, dann teile doch diesen Beitrag, und wenn du ihn wichtig findest, dann schreib uns das - auch wir freuen uns über Feedback.💚 #schweiz #Kernenergie #AKW #Energiewende

Oh dear....

@nature4nukes Solange das Kühlwasser reicht..

Die Erweiterung von Temelín auf 80 Jahre Betriebszeit finde ich beeindruckend. Sichere, klimafreundliche Energie bis 2082 – und diese Reaktoren werden wohl die Enkel ihrer Kritiker überleben. Kernkraft bedeutet Zuverlässigkeit für Generationen.

@Yaw_nyame35 Demographics...

Germany is going through something that looks like a contradiction. The economy is struggling. Companies are shutting down. People are dealing with salary cuts or losing their jobs. And at the same time, Germany needs around 400,000 new workers every year to fill the gaps in its workforce. How can both of these things be true at the same time?
