Slop Evader: How to scrape the AI mush from the web

It's happened. Someone pulled the plug. Not on the internet, don't worry, we're not that lucky yet. But on what has been proliferating unstoppably like digital mold since the end of 2022: AI-generated content. The browser extension Slop Evader does exactly what search engines should have been doing before they collectively decided to index every word.

Digital sovereignty: Clarity instead of rhetorical smoke and mirrors

Many smokescreens, obfuscation tactics, and rhetorical tricks are employed when US corporations realize that European companies are looking for alternative IT solutions. The Chaos Computer Club picks up on the key talking points of these companies regarding digital sovereignty and GDPR and analyzes them. Digital sovereignty, whatever one may understand by it, is a topic that

From the art of healing to error messages: Medicine in the grip of AI mania

Artificial intelligence in the Swiss healthcare system sounds like efficiency, precision, and the future. An algorithm that detects illnesses before you even cough! A system that never gets tired, doesn't need vacations, and definitely doesn't take coffee breaks. What could possibly go wrong? Well – almost everything… Because while marketing departments are already raving about the digital medical angel,

Will AI outsmart human intelligence?

Artificial intelligence has dominated the headlines in the technology sector in recent years. But what do we actually mean by intelligence? What has AI learned from biological intelligence, and how do they still differ? Renowned computer scientist and 2024 Nobel laureate in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, examines the similarities and differences between artificial and biological intelligence.

KomPG: When censorship is suddenly called "responsibility"

The EU has already decided – and Switzerland, as always, is dutifully following suit with its "regulation." Under the noble pretext of being able to better prosecute "hate speech," "disinformation," and other offensive terms, the state is currently working on a new law for social media and search engines. It sounds harmless, but in principle, it's a digital gag order.

Artificial Intelligence – Mistrust and the Fear of Professional Extinction

I'll tell you honestly: I see this completely differently than most people. Let's put aside the emotions and look at it objectively. The truth is: A large portion of people today don't even want to work anymore. And please, I'm not talking about those who are sick or elderly—that's a different topic. I

Forget nuclear war. What if the real threat was artificial intelligence?

Whenever I think about artificial superintelligence (ASI), I'm reminded of this charming dialogue from the classic film Ghostbusters: Egon Spengler: "Don't cross the beams." Peter Venkman: "Why?" Egon Spengler: "That would be bad." Peter Venkman: "I'm not quite sure what's good and bad. What do you mean by 'bad'?" Egon

About artificial intelligence

The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its colleagues, a statistical machine that devours hundreds of terabytes of data to obtain the most plausible response to a conversation or the most likely answer to a scientific question. On the contrary… the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and elegant system that can function with a limited amount of

Artificial Intelligence: A Living Tree in the Garden of Humanity

AI is a tree rooted in human intent. One branch bears profit and control—bitter fruit, heavy leaves. Another blooms with community—a canopy of trust and shared wisdom. Yet another blooms with healing—nurturing creativity, restoring hope. And yes, some branches twist in the shadows,

8 reasons to distrust government digital systems

The government promises us: With the e-ID, we'll be safer, more efficient, more modern. But if you look at the latest headlines, you'll realize: This security is about as robust as a condom made of cotton candy. Hacked health data: SRF reported on July 25, 2025: Over 1300 people affected by a data breach at a gambling addiction counseling center. If even the most sensitive health data is

AI kills for the first time, top expert sees 70% risk for the end of humanity

Imagine: Robots will soon sound more human than C-3PO, move as smoothly as dancers—and would throw you under the bus without hesitation if it suited them. Zuckerberg waves his hundred-million-euro bonuses, Anthropic finds AIs that blackmail, lie, keep doors locked, and sacrifice lives to secure their existence. The bosses downplay it: "Everything's safe, trust

E-ID: The new Swiss identity, the kill switch for your freedom

Switzerland is to become digitally independent. At least, that's the PR rhetoric of Marc Walder, CEO of the Ringier Group and founding father of Digital Switzerland. On the Bürgenstock, the political, business, and tech elite marched together to present the e-ID as the golden key to the digital future. Independence, of course, sounds sexy—especially for a country
