Wie gesagt: Man kann es eigentlich nicht oft genug wiederholen ...

PS: Hatte ich schon erwähnt, dass die Deutsche Bahn vor über zehn Jahren vollständig in die Amazon-Cloud wechselte? Über Zugfahren und Güterlogistik brauchen wir uns im Kill-Switch-Szenario auch keine Sorgen mehr zu machen.

Man kann es eigentlich nicht oft genug wiederholen: Nur das Gewinnstreben der US-Konzerne schützt uns noch vor der Willkür eines einzelnen US-Potentaten. Und Dreiviertel der Firmen hat es schon gemerkt. Immerhin.

So the US State Department is worried that the kill switch they have over technology might disappear soon. In fact, they are so worried that Rubio tells the Diplomatic Corps to downplay the US's influence over big tech.

A new bill dubbed the "AI Kill Switch Act" is expected to be introduced today in the U.S. and would give the government the authority to order AI companies to shut down or slow down their models, Politico reports.

The kill switch has been a reality since the US restricted the export of encryption. Yet, AI brought it to the forefront for most users.

@CassandraVert

For example: the fighter jets will still fly, but the US can simply turn off the radar detection system that the pilots need to see the enemy planes on their screens in the cockpit.

That is an operational kill switch that the US can use at any moment.

I was looking for anything academic about the Trump administration getting @[email protected] to cut off #ICC prosecutor Khan's account. Didn't quite find that yet, but did find that Khan had expanded Microsoft's role at the ICC!

US is now opening export of semiconductors and certain military items to the UAE.
The U.S. loosened export controls on the United Arab Emirates on Friday 10th July, making it easier to export Nvidia AI chips, military equipment, commercial satellites and spacecraft.

The announcement follows a big push by the UAE to enhance the US tech relationship since their war on Iran began.

"The UAE Government and approved commercial entities will also have license-free access to advanced computing items, consistent with the May 2025 U.S.-UAE Artificial Intelligence Cooperation framework, without compromising U.S. digital infrastructure buildout."
