Your most loyal traitor

The device in your hand, your most loyal betrayer. It came as a helper. A small light in everyday life. Navigation, communication, a song, a smile, a picture of a loved one. So practical. So hip. It's there for everything you do. You share your deepest thoughts on social media—and don't give it a second thought. Especially since they

Corona was only phase 1: Dr. Nehls reveals the next stage

Sometimes you stumble across conversations that make you wonder if you're listening to an interview or have accidentally wandered into the dystopian director's cut of a pandemic thriller. That's roughly what the latest thought experiment by Dr. Michael Nehls and Simo Azzaoui feels like. If you're easily disturbed, you might want to grab a hot water bottle or take some preventative measures.

The Silicon Dictatorship: When Oligarchs Uninstall Democracy Like an Old App

Sometimes you wonder if the 21st century is a bad cyberpunk novel published without editing. The latest plot twist: Researchers have created an interactive map showing how authoritarian tech networks have long since gripped half of the West. And surprise: They're not just striving for profit, but for power. Power over data, over states, over Europe.

DBD: Your Silence – R-Ko-iX

"Your Silence" tells the story of a world without cash, without privacy, full of invisible walls – where silence becomes a chain. This song, written for the "Schweiz-Macher" (Switzerland Makers), addresses the dangers of electronic identity (e-ID) and total surveillance. The "Schweiz-Macher" are making a creative statement against electronic identity (e-ID) and highlighting the dangers of

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,

Electrons in a frenzy: How graphene is revolutionizing physics

In graphene, electrons have done something physicists once thought impossible. For almost two centuries, metals followed the Wiedemann-Franz law, the rule that electrical and thermal conductivity rise or fall together. But in ultrapure graphene, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science observed the exact opposite: while electrical conductivity increased, thermal conductivity fell—a

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.

Now Loading: Great Britain v2029 – User Access Restricted

London, the city where kings once overthrew and where citizens now rebel against QR codes. Thousands of Britons marched through the streets over the weekend to defend what little "privacy" remains – while Prime Minister Keir Starmer has apparently decided to give Orwell a software update. Under the heroic pretext of "combating illegal migration," the government wants to

When you understand THAT, it's too late!

Ernst Wolff warns: We are on the threshold of total control. Artificial intelligence is replacing jobs, social media is being censored, and the powerful of this world are steering us with distractions and lies. But this time it's not just about criticism—it's about hope. How can we act again instead of just watching? What can we do now to

Digital Euro? Failed between greed, gold, and megalomania

Christine Lagarde, the high priestess of modern monetary magic, recently announced that the digital euro – also known as an Orwellian token with a built-in social rating – would see the light of day in the financial world as early as October 2025. A great moment for all those who have always dreamed that the state not only knows what they are buying, but also

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

Delete first. Democracy later – Freedom? Only with a password!

Canada, the friendly land of maple syrup and apologies, has apparently decided not only to "support" Agenda 2030, but to turbocharge it: digital muzzle included. The new bill in Ottawa sounds like a control panel for a sophisticated throttling of democracy: Digital ID + "threat" clause + ministerial authority without a judge = game over for annoying opinions. Of course.
