Die Forschungsministerin freut sich auf Insta darüber, dass jetzt "Porträts" von Frauen der Geschichte in ihrem Haus hängen. Nur: Die sind mit KI erstellt. Und schleifen die Gesichter der Frauen gemäß moderner westlicher Schönheitsideale glatt. Was für ein irres Projekt Z.B.

This creep's entire line of thought here is eugenicist trash. People are PEOPLE. You don't measure their value by energy consumption. They have inherent value as HUMAN BEINGS. A fucking LLM has no inherent human value. You cannot compare them.

Diese Studie ist eine Sensation: Heike Klüver hat 1.237 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien über 50 Jahre ausgewertet. Die Schlüsselfrage: Werden Rechtsextreme „entzaubert“, wenn sie mitregieren? Die Antwort – eindeutig: Nein. Sobald rechtsextreme Parteien an der Regierung sitzen, profitieren sie.

Ich kotze. „Fragen Sie mal Ihre Töchter“, entgegnet Merz einen Journalisten, der nachfragt, ob eine Entschuldigung angemessen wäre. Zur Erinnerung: Junge Frauen haben die CDU kaum gewählt. Die Merz-Regierung macht keinerlei Gleichstellungspolitik. Aber Frauen für Rassismus instrumentalisieren.
