  • Well back in 2016, when I was working for a European car manufacturer, all the data of cars in China went straight to a mirror server of the government. For all other countries the data was stored at the company servers.

    Back then Chinese EV vehicles were no thing, so not sure how they handle it now.

    But as you said, you can safely assume all the data goes to someone. Depends if they have something like GDPR in place or not, they can see most of your data and connect it to he user account.











  • My girlfriends family is from Iran, they hate the regime there. But surely they are not celebrating. They are scared not hearing from their families since days, who still are in Iran.

    Just remember this war is not about regime change. Maybe have a look at Venezuela how that worked out…

    This action clearly violates again international law, and because they claim Iran was 5 minutes away from having a nuclear bomb. Since they so successful destroyed everything in their last raid.

    Don’t cry if China attacks Taiwan and claims Taiwan was just 21min away from nuclear bomb…




  • Thanks for sharing, really insightful.

    In my personal opinion after being also responsible in AI for our company, I do not see how it will be profitable for them.

    For example Microsoft Copilot license, costs 30$/month, but a lot of things I can do with it a free Chatbot can do too.

    It definitely has it strengths and use cases and I am sure it will not go away. But it is not the way the market it as a full AI, it just generates answers with the highest probability. I cannot see it developing from there to the real AI.

    I think this year will be really interesting to watch all the AI companies, especially Oracle as they have to refinance a lot. If one falls it will send them into to a spiral, the big companies will be fine, but I am sure they will cut their funding of OpenAI.

    But who knows could be the other way around and OpenAI finds anything new to make them more profitable.



  • Perfect is the enemy of the good.

    Just see it as a first step. Signal is still better than WhatsApp being owned by Meta. If we get more people of WhatsApp, in the future there might be more European alternatives.

    There are no big European alternatives the majority of people are willing to switch.

    I got rid of WhatsApp last year myself and could only convince 8 people to use Signal. I tried Threema and Matrix, but most normal people are not willing to do this and don’t care they give up their data and so on…
