Es ist ja toll, dass Deutschland schon deutlich mehr als 50% erneuerbare Energien im Strommix hat (Februar 2024: 63,6%). Aber wir sollten definitiv nicht nur auf den Strom schauen.
Die gesamte Primärenergie sieht anders aus. Da ist noch *SEEHR* viel zu tun / einzusparen / sektorzukoppeln. 🤫

"In a regulatory filing on Monday, Trump Media said it lost $58.2 million in 2023, compared with a profit of $50.5 million in 2022.
The Truth Social owner generated just $4.1 million in revenue, although that was up from $1.5 million in 2022.”
Honest question: how do you have $50M profit on $1.5M revenue? I seem to misunderstand the terms.

Who Followed the Blueprint? Analyzing the Responses of U.S. Federal Agencies to the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights
Darren Lage, Riley Pruitt, Jason Ross Arnold
https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19076 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.19076
arXiv:2404.19076v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study examines the extent to which U.S. federal agencies responded to and implemented the principles outlined in the White House's October 2022 "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights." The Blueprint provided a framework for the ethical governance of artificial intelligence systems, organized around five core principles: safety and effectiveness, protection against algorithmic discrimination, data privacy, notice and explanation about AI systems, and human alternatives and fallback.
Through an analysis of publicly available records across 15 federal departments, the authors found limited evidence that the Blueprint directly influenced agency actions after its release. Only five departments explicitly mentioned the Blueprint, while 12 took steps aligned with one or more of its principles. However, much of this work appeared to have precedents predating the Blueprint or motivations disconnected from it, such as compliance with prior executive orders on trustworthy AI. Departments' activities often emphasized priorities like safety, accountability and transparency that overlapped with Blueprint principles, but did not necessarily stem from it.
The authors conclude that the non-binding Blueprint seems to have had minimal impact on shaping the U.S. government's approach to ethical AI governance in its first year. Factors like public concerns after high-profile AI releases and obligations to follow direct executive orders likely carried more influence over federal agencies. More rigorous study would be needed to definitively assess the Blueprint's effects within the federal bureaucracy and broader society.
