„Noch deutlicher wurde es 2013 durch Celeste Kidd an der University of Rochester: Sie wiederholte den Test mit einem Twist. Vor dem Marshmallow erlebten die Kinder entweder einen Erwachsenen, der seine Versprechen hielt — oder einen, der log. Ergebnis: Kinder in der verlässlichen Bedingung warteten zwölf Minuten. Kinder, die zuvor belogen worden waren, warteten drei (Kidd, Palmeri & Aslin, 2013). Was Kidd eigentlich…“ 1/

„If AI writing is pleasing and convincing, however, it is also unoriginal, often inaccurate, or both. People will therefore need their powers of discernment and comprehension more than ever. They will need to know what they think and how to make their own judgments. These are the exact skills that the use of AI threatens to erode. What’s at risk is nothing less than the ability to think for oneself. If...” 1/

The Atlantic: „The End of Reading is Here“

„So here we are: healthy challenge, complexity, and connection are on the ropes, and it's all our own doing. And the more we do this, the more we sacrifice our "meta super-power": the ability to build new skills we need to handle the world we're so rapidly creating.“

"This is the biggest cosmic, practical joke ever. As young people, we were promised: Okay, here’s this computer and once you’ve completely understand this computer, you’ll be fine. That’s all you need to do. So I set out the first part of my career just to become the best programmer that I could be because that’s what it would take to be successful. And then you realize: sorry, there’s this whole human side. Your ability to affect change in the world is…“ 1/

„It is critical to rein in this modern oligarchy, and not just because we are at a precipice. This is the time to act because these leaders have one thing right: we have amazing tools at our disposal, and digital technologies could amplify what humanity can do. But only if we put these tools to work for people. And this is not going to happen until we challenge the worldview that prevails among our current global tech bosses.…“ 1/

„All technological change is generational change. The full power and consequence of a new technology are unleashed only when those who have grown up with it become adults and begin to push their outdated parents to the margins. As the older generations die, they take with them their knowledge of what was lost when the new technology arrived, and…“ 1/

"Herbert Simon saw the core constraint in 1971: "A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention." Researchers at Caltech have shown that human thought operates at roughly 10 bits per second. Your sensory systems take in billions. Your conscious mind processes ten. Every communication technology in history has increased the volume arriving at that bottleneck. Not one has widened the bottleneck itself.“

„Our built-in mental rhythms are adaptable to a degree that can be counterproductive. Human creativity increasingly has to adjust to the demands of machinery, and so people become less able to control their time-keeping. In other words, human inventiveness, sensitivity and flexibility are in conflict with technology's predictability, lack of imagination and resistance to change. Or to put it…“ 1/

Ten takeaways from the AI Engineering Report 2026: The Acceleration Whiplash

„… resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happen so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

„Some people are still complaining about the quality of the code generated by LLM’s and I strongly disagree with this take. In my experience, the code generated is actually pretty good. What bothers me is the code quantity. Specially because I don’t believe in “vibe coding” (that is: trusting the generated code and not even taking a look at it). I need to review the code and make sure it’s doing what it’s supposed…“ 1/

„The term Vibe Coding was coined by Andrej Karpathy, and he said that the technique is “not too bad for throwaway weekend projects”. A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding, and the AI researcher Simon Willison even said that “If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you’ve reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that’s not vibe coding in…“ 1/

„There’s a moment every engineer knows but rarely talks about. It’s not the one before a deploy, or the one after a pager alert. It’s the moment after you’ve opened your 6th tab of the hour, when your eyes blur, your shoulders instinctively rise towards your ears, and you realise you can’t remember what you were doing just 5 minutes ago. It’s the moment where the work stops being work, and becomes interruption management.“

„[…] the mind is not the reliable, neutral instrument we tend to assume. Memory reconstructs rather than records. Bias edits what we remember in self-serving directions. Emotion shapes which memories surface and how we weigh what we find. And the modern habit of constant switching quietly erodes our capacity to think carefully at all. Together, these four themes point to the same practical conclusion – a…“ 1/

„"Hello!“ lyukhina lunged forward and hugged Stratt. “I’m here to die for Earth! Pretty awesome, yes?!"
I leaned to Dimitri. "Are all Russians crazy?"
"Yes," he said with a smile. "It is the only way to be Russian and happy at the same time."
"That's ... dark."
"That's Russian!"“ -
