🤖💍🎥 Ah, the pinnacle of human creativity: #outsourcing #wedding #videos to #AI because crafting heartfelt messages is sooooo 2025. The crowd gasped as the AI-generated montage was so shockingly original in its perfectly regressed median, causing an existential crisis for all us biological scriptwriters. But fear not, the human race will recover…as soon as Alexa writes our vows. 😂📉

"Eigentlich könnten wir den Newsletter doch selbst machen."
Diesen Satz höre ich oft. Die Realität sieht häufig anders aus: Das Team ist ausgelastet, die Technik kostet Zeit und der letzte Newsletter liegt Monate zurück.
In meinem neuen Blogartikel zeige ich, wann sich das Auslagern eines Newsletters für KMU und Selbständige wirklich lohnt.

#Outsourcing #IT und die Realität. 🤨
#Cloud ist das Versprechen, mit wenigen Klicks Entwickler zu entlasten und ihnen zu helfen. 😔
Allerdings kommt es zu sehr vielen Vorfällen. Kriminelle kapern die Daten, verschlüsseln Inhalte und erpressen Unternehmen. Wieso ist das so?
Auszug aus dem #diabolischen #Handbuch: 🥶
Gib dem Entwickler ein "neues" Werkzeug" [#Cloud) in die Hand, welches interessante Möglichkeiten bietet. Er wird es dankbar annehmen und in der Produktion einsetzen. 🙈
Lenke ab von den weiteren Aufgaben wie #Wartung und #Pflege. Am besten funktioniert dies mit immer neuen Features und Komponenten.
Die Wortwahl soll die Bedeutung adressieren und auch die Entscheider positiv stimmen (Hypercaler)....
Wenn #Cloud in den Köpfen fest verankert ist, ist die Zeit reif für den nächsten Schritt - #KI, damit kann der Entwickler weitere Aufgaben erledigen, auch hier ist es wichtig, die Bedeutung auf die "neuen" Möglichkeiten zu lenken.
Die Wortwahl orientiert sich an #Automatisierung und #Optimierung. Nicht erwähnen darf man Risiko durch statistisches Verhalten und Abhängigkeit von fernen Dritten....
Wird die Marketing-Strategie an Obigem (diabolisches Handbuch) ausgerichtet, dann ist der Umsatz praktisch garantiert, denn ein Entwickler wird die "Karotte" des Neuen sofort haben wollen. 🤗
Auf Dauer wird damit eine Abhängigkeit erzeugt aus der der Entwickler kaum einfach ausbrechen kann. Er müsste ja zu seinem Vorgesetzten gehen und eingestehen, er habe sich geirrt. 🙁
Eine Chance gibt es jedoch, die #Kosten. Wenn sich herausstellt, die Kostenentwicklung ist nicht mehr tragbar, dann kann auch der Entwickler wieder mit seiner Expertise zu einer Senkung beitragen.
Mit einer #Vollkostenrechnung ist es belastbar darstellbar eine Strategieänderung schrittweise zu bewirken. ☺️
Hashtag#Outsourcing der Hashtag#IT dient dazu die Kosten zu senken und gleichzeitig die Hashtag#Sicherheit zu erhöhen.
Kein "Self-Service" mehr, dies hilft dem Entwickler seine Fähigkeiten besser einzubringen. Zusätzlich ist der Wissenstransfer durch eine persönliche Betreuung ein bedeutender Vorteil. 😁
Erfahrene Spezialisten oder ein guter #MSP sind die richtigen Ansprechpartner wenn es darum geht die Kosten zu senken, die Sicherheit zu erhöhen und gleichzeitig die "digitale Souveränität" zu verbessern. 👍
Der Artikel gibt jedoch wenig Anlass zu glauben, die #IT wird in naher Zukunft resilienter werden. Deshalb ist es wichtig selbst nach Lösungen zu suchen und nicht abzuwarten. 🙂

In an era where developers are desperate to outsource their brains, here's yet another tool that promises to "detect" code duplication but really just duplicates your Google search bar 🤖🔍. The real wizardry? Watching developers marvel as AI wraps repetitive tasks in a shiny "embedding model" package and calls it innovation 🎩✨.

Apologies for budding-in. LLM GenAI is in the new again along with its #KoolAid served to our #PoliticalClass. I’ll shut up now and get back in my box.

"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them became that between employer and free laborer." -- General Order No. 3, read by Union General Gordon Granger, June 19, 1865 -

And the security breech (Courts transcription service outsourced to Indian company) gets even bigger… how did they not see this coming? A: Poor or non-existant contract and operations oversight. A typical result from the #Privatisation of what ought to be a publically owned and operated service.
“Earlier this year, embattled transcription company VIQ Solutions breached its Commonwealth contract with the Federal Court by allowing highly sensitive court files to be accessed offshore in India.
The company is now being wound down and was removed from AusTender as an approved supplier by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) on March 19.
However, 13 government agencies have used VIQ Solutions since 2019, including the Department of Defence, Services Australia, the ATO and even the Attorney-General's Department, broadening the risk of potential breaches.”

So let's get this straight: KPMG — right in the middle of a scandal for stealing confidential client info to rig audit bids — was put in charge of the RBA's whistleblower hotline. Yes, really. Let that land. Now, predictably, the RBA is finally ditching them and retendering the contract. But this isn't just one firm getting caught — it's the whole Big Four grift, baked into the system. As long as corporate power polices itself, nothing changes.
And I'm old enough to remember when the media worked itself into a frenzy over council workers standing around with their hands in their pockets. "Grifters!" they cried. "Waste!" "We need to privatise!" — that was the war cry. Meanwhile, the real grift just puts on a consultant's suit, bills by the hour, and never has to stand in front of a camera and answer for it.

As always when a private company winds up, its the workers who are left to fend for themselves, meanwhile you can bet your bottom dollar that senior executives and their mates have done well for themselves. Here is more on the Australian Courts Transcription Services woes because of the #Outsourcing (commonly known as #StateCapture) of what ough to be a #State provided #PublicServices is still practiced after decades of imperical evidence which show such practices are more expensive, less reliable and eventually go the wall (financially) when the providers can no longer extract profits from the #Theft.
“"I am hopeful that cases currently relying on transcripts will be redirected on an urgent basis … There are hundreds of us willing to continue this work and do so around the clock if given the opportunity." They said they were "incredibly heartbroken" and felt the winding up of the company and sacking of staff "never had to happen".

Steve Jobs said many times #Apple would love to build more in America, but #USA simply doesn't have the tools and expertise.
Key quote from pre-CEO Tim:
“in America, you can barely fill a room with tooling engineers. In #China, you can fill several football fields”.

The problem with teams at the European Commission is that they are often underfunded and understaffed. AI is developing fast, companies are working hard to try to beat competitors. This means that new models and solutions are being created, huge amounts of money are being invested, and regulators need to have resources to react and keep strong oversight.
There could be 2 solutions to address this problem.
1. The European Commission needs to dedicate more budget to attract top AI experts and grow the team. This may be challenging, but is possible.
2. The European Commission can consider outsourcing part of activities to the private sector. Companies and NGOs, as long as they have no contractual relations creating conflicts of interest, can offer more efficient approach. More than that, this option would give the Commission time to grow its own team and implement the 1st option.
Without proper resources and speed, the EU will be left behind while other countries would be able to review, supervise and quickly react when necessary to address risks and issues created by AI solutions.
Sooner or later, the problem would need to be addressed. Of course, the sooner the better as regulators need to be fully equipped. https://www.politico.eu/article/anthropic-hacking-technology-exposes-eu-ai-office-struggles/
