Germany introduces new sugar and AI taxes within a few months, but when entrepreneurs ask for changes to simplify employee stock options, notary processes, or EU Inc., it takes thousands of people more than 10 years of lobbying to make simple changes. I’m so fucking sick of our incompetent politicians. It doesn’t matter which party you vote for; it truly feels like we’re governed by a bunch of clueless boomers, too stupid to work together to fix education, healthcare, welfare, mass immigration or anything else that requires more than two brain cells. I’m ready to either leave permanently or hit the reset button. Afuera!
Jetzt wird es richtig lächerlich: Die Koalition debattiert eine KI-Steuer Vor zwei Wochen brachte Digitalminister Wildberger im Tagesspiegel die Besteuerung von KI-Umsätzen ins Spiel, um den Umbau des Arbeitsmarkts zu finanzieren. Kurz darauf ruderte er bei RTL zurück, erst müsse Deutschland die Chancen der Technologie nutzen. Gestern hat CDU-Vize Karin Prien den Vorstoß wiederbelebt. Im Stern: Wenn Wertschöpfung im Wesentlichen über Künstliche Intelligenz funktioniere, müsse das auch besteuert werden, anders gehe es nicht. Immerhin: Merz steht der Sache kritisch gegenüber. Beschlüsse oder Gesetzentwürfe gibt es keine. Was es auch nicht gibt: eine Definition. Was genau ist ein KI-Umsatz? Der eines Unternehmens, das ein Modell trainiert? Der eines, das eines nutzt? Jede Software enthält heute KI-Komponenten. Entweder trifft die Steuer irgendwann jeden Softwareumsatz, oder sie trifft genau die vier US-Konzerne, die hier ohnehin das meiste Geschäft machen. Und das ist der eigentliche Punkt. Deutschland hat keine Frontier-Modelle, keine nennenswerte Rechenkapazität und rund 5 Prozent Anteil an der globalen KI-Infrastruktur. Diskutiert wird gerade die Verteilung einer Wertschöpfung, die hier niemand erzeugt. Man beschließt die Ernte, bevor man gesät hat. Mit dem Wissen, dass es am Ende ohnehin nichts zu essen gibt.

The EU will constantly warn everyone about threats to democracy then carry out a coup on a random Friday. It's time Europe confronts the tyrants.

let me tell you why saas is not dead and how deep in the rabbit hole we are on x ⬖ my wife is technical enough, worked as QA before, understands the concepts of cloud, hosting, frontend vs backend, etc etc. ⬖ she has 2 subs to copen ai and claude, uses them on desktop and on mobile ⬖ she has heard me rambling about ai for 4 years non stop and knows most terms ⬖ she has vibed a few websites for fun and is a creative person overall so i see she subscribed (recurring lol) to a "learn driving tests" app i asked her wtf why dont u vibe yourself one?? it will be even better, more visual, tailored to you, etc etc. she was like "uhm but why, someone already put all the effort and i just wanna be done with my driving tests" now think about the people who have NONE OF THE bulletpoints above lmfao 💀 put a price tag and just put the saas in the bag lil bro no one is vibecoding shit

I love how xAI just rolled out in EU and will just deal with fallout if it comes. Neither OAI nor Meta has the guts.. 🤣

The constant decel messaging in Europe is insufferable as an adult, but its effect on kids is worse. As a parent, it's your obligation to counterprogram this nonsense. Show them robots, rockets, and wonders of AI. Show them cathedrals and moon landings. Instill hope in progress.

So basically @DHH came to the Rails World and told them that Ruby on Rails is no longer needed now because AI can make apps in any languages. That's the funniest thing that could've happened.
Clearly, this @DHH Rails World 2026 keynote has become an instant classic. youtube.com/watch?v=V9SxpJpH… Highlights: - WebApps are dead since it is so cheap, easy, and fast to build native apps with agentic coding. - No need for a framework like Ruby on Rails if you can achieve the same functionality with e.g. Rust on the backend while saving a lot of money by reducing the number of needed servers and having a faster application. - Your application needs a CLI. Because agents love command-line tools.
