@Martin Seeger

Working at front lines of the IT and having fun there. Been around the Internet since 1992 and still in awe what has become of that little baby. Currently wanted for repeated "Nerd Sniping" on all continents.

Personal interests:

- IT Security
- Computer Games & TTRPGs
- Cycling
- Cooking & Baking
- Books, Movies, TV-Series (mostly F&SF)
- Everything that blinks, has buttons to press and looks remotely gadgetoid

Everything i write, post, tweet, blog or blurp is just my personal opinion and is not the opinion or policy of my employer, my cat or my goldfish.

I post in English and German. Will try to mark each post correctly, but errors happen. Sorry for that.

I appologize if I am not following you back. This happens as my stream is already getting more posts than I can read.

Das Wohl von Kindern und FussgĂ€ngern spielt ja eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Sonst wĂŒrde man der SUV-Pest ja Einhalt gebieten.

Aber vielleicht hilft ja ein Argument, dass die auch Sportwagen gefĂ€hrden 😏

Ich finde in diesem Artikel (https://www.golem.de/news/insiderhandel-us-soldat-soll-mit-geheimwissen-auf-polymarket-gewettet-habe-2604-207953.html) ja folgende Passage bemerkenswert:

[...]
IntegritÀt von PrognosemÀrkten unter Druck

Der Fall rĂŒckt die AnfĂ€lligkeit von PrognosemĂ€rkten fĂŒr Insiderhandel erneut in den Fokus. Polymarket und Wettbewerber wie Kalshi stehen unter verstĂ€rkter Beobachtung der Regulierungsbehörden.
[...]

PrognosemĂ€rkte sind glorifizierte WettbĂŒros und die können per Struktur nicht und niemals integer sein.

@kravietz 🩇 In 1943 Goebbels was doing a speech in the Sportpalast.

Everyone who had open eyes knew that Germany was losing the war. The 6th army in Stalingrad had just surrendered, bombers where dropping bombs on the Reich every night.

And in the speech he asked "Wollt Ihr den Totalen Krieg?" (Do you want total war?) and the crowd shouted "Yes".

History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

This article (https://www.theverge.com/tldr/915176/nft-metaverse-ai-weirdos) makes a very correct and important point:

Within recent memory, people who made software and hardware understood their job was to serve their customer. [...] But at some point following the financial crisis, would-be entrepreneurs got it into their heads that their job was to invent the future, and consumers’ job was to go along with that invented future.

The discussion around AI is not the first instance of this pattern, but it is where this mindset is taken to its most extreme form.
