Partons d’une hypothèse farfelue et au doigt mouillé. Disons que chaque employé cotise socialement et globalement à hauteur de 50000 euros par an. Équivalent à 3 milliards d’euros par an. Qui au lieu d’aller dans les services publics ou la communauté vont dans la poche de BigTech.

Microsoft, qui fait face à des coûts importants en raison de ses investissements dans l'IA, vient d'annoncer un plan de départ volontaire concernant 60 000 employés, soit 27 % de son effectif mondial.

It’s becoming a meme during this mandate, comms take over politics. When facing the reality of actions, empty shells such as "associate membership" or "democracy shield" are dismantling all trust and respect for the Commission. This leadership is leading us to a deep catastrophe.

Dave Keating@davekeating.substack.com

This was always the risk with 🇪🇺President @VonDerLeyen's "associate membership" gambit. It was never real (there is no such thing and there won't be), it was branding. But people will notice when it goes missing from the Montreal summit. And now, that may look like retreat after Trump's threats.

This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

To some extent, it shows exactly how Vucic and Bolsonaro were defeated this weekend. Don’t engage on non-sense. Don’t engage on stupidity. Focus on delivering good policy to your constituents/voters. They’re not stupid.

Trump wrote 1,300 words on Bill Maher, making it the longest Truth Social post he’s ever posted, and exactly 0 words on how he plans to end the Iran war, provide health care to Americans, and bring the cost of living down.

This is only the beginning. I’m personally expected an explosive cocktail of Florida 2000 + January 6th under steroids.

🧵 With voting underway, the Trump administration is trying to stop ballots from being counted, starting with lawsuits in California and Alaska. Despite their flimsy claims, the suits may lay the groundwork to challenge results or contest certification after Election Day. Here’s what to know 👇

”The establishment“ that the far right bleats about is fully behind the far right

C’est un peu ironique, voire audacieux , d’interdire les manif non syndicales quand on a passé 10 ans à delegitimer syndicats et partis politiques.

It’s been almost two weeks. "Words of condemnation of the US sanctions must now be matched by concrete action" It’s another defining moment for the EU. Will it stand strong on its values or will it remain silent and de facto enable that we’re just a colony of the US imperium ?

‼️ In an Open Letter to the European Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, the Coalition for the ICC calls for the immediate activation of the EU Blocking Statute to protect the ICC from the sanctions imposed on the United States on 9 October 2026. 📌 coalitionfortheicc.org/sites/defaul...

But by the time we get to the truth underneath these allegations, the camera and attention will have moved on. There won’t be a correction of the record. At least not one anyone will notice. And many of the lives used to prop up the illusion will still be ruined.

Rappel d'usage : ce n'est pas parce que des acteurs étrangers instrumentalisent pour leur propre agenda une situation sociale explosive en France qu'ils ont la capacité d'influer dessus. (Je lis ou entend çà et là depuis deux jours des commentaires qui me semblent évacuer toute prudence.)

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

A federal judge on Tuesday again blocked President Trump’s attempt to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, ensuring the outlets will have access to the complex as their legal case to overturn the ban continues.

For years, researchers have described how generative AI would change influence ops. But something more interesting is happening now: AI is running the back office. A Wagner entity even used Claude to rate employees & recommend whom to fire. From me, at Lawfare: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/prod...

lawfaremedia.orgProduction, Persuasion, and Power: How Generative and Agentic AI Are Transforming Influence OperationsGenerative AI can increase the quantity and quality of malign foreign influence campaigns. However, questions remain as to whether these campaigns influence public opinion.
