This is an example for another latent dysfunction:
Fewer (public) questions get asked on the internet and so knowledge is not spread, but contained, making it more individualized.
This also creates an even stronger bias towards older content, so people might take the shortcut and use a more established technology, instead of looking into new, less explored, but more innovative solutions.
Healthcare shows it: Open Source AI performs as well as proprietary models.
No trade-offs, just innovation.

Wahrnehmung vs. Wahrheit: Europas KI wird völlig unterschätzt!
Teil 1
"„Europa hat bei der KI verschlafen.“ „Deutschland wird nie aufholen.“ „Nur die USA und China können echte Künstliche Intelligenz.“ Diese Narrative hört man täglich in den Medien. Doch sie erzählen nur die halbe Wahrheit – und übersehen dabei eine stille Revolution, die gerade in europäischen Forschungszentren und Rechenzentren stattfindet."
76% of respondents believe that standardization promotes both competition and innovation. Open standards are shaping a stronger, more collaborative tech ecosystem.

@Marcociappelli@infosec.exchangeAttention, attention! 
Here’s a new episode of the Redefining Society & Technology podcast!
"How to Hack Global Activism with Tech, Music, and Purpose
With Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen | Author of the #book: From Ideas to Impact."
Welcome back to my Musing on Society and Technology newsletter — where I drop new podcast episodes and explore what it means to be human in a hybrid analog-digital society.
This isn’t the place for hype or headline-chasing. It’s about asking better questions and figuring out how technology can serve humanity — not the other way around.
That said, I owe a quick apology to my guest Michael Sheldrick — we recorded this episode a while ago, but life, work, and about 437 browser tabs got in the way. Thank you for your patience, Michael. I hope this helps shine an even brighter spotlight on the incredible work you and the Global Citizen team are doing.
And yes — I’m honored to do the little I can to help promote it. Because this matters.
Global Citizen is proof that you can mix pop culture, #tech, and purpose to drive real change. $40 billion unlocked. A billion lives impacted. All through a movement powered by #music, #activism, and one simple idea:
"Anyone can make a difference — you just have to start."
Michael and I talk about:
The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism
Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board
Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms
Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention
And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.

@Canadian_Eh@mas.toThe Wonder of IMAX
The IMAX film system was co-invented by Canadians Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor, and Robert Kerr in 1968. Today, IMAX theaters worldwide immerse audiences in larger-than-life cinematic experiences.

"Regain Control And Limit Exposure
To regain control and limit negative exposure to the endless stream of digital junk that keeps raining upon us,"
omg; reminds me of SpaceX StarLink meteorites. They stopped falling yet?
"it's best to first start with an situational assessment of your digital life.
Dangerous bonus: this can have a positive impact on many other aspects of your life.
Thoughts to have in mind:
1. What am I trying to achieve?
2. Is this activity aligned with my personal goals?
3. Is the content that I consider important aligned with my personal goals?
4. Am I focusing on my circle of control or circle of concern?
5. Am I consuming the right time of content?
6. What content brings the most value to me?"
*Like* Trauma-Informed Mindfulness, but more... Value-Affirmed Intent.
