Europäer: Klassische Medien, KI-Detektoren und Staat müssen KI-Inhalte prüfen
KI macht es wesentlich einfacher, manipulierende Medien zu erstellen. Europäer informieren sich dadurch wieder mehr klassisch und setzen auf mehr Prüfende.

Added a category manager and category state section to the Exocortex Log app.
Have now organized and cleaned up the categories in my ten year database and so we can get some views of the time spent in each category.
We see that through September and October I was in a routine of work and slack with a bit of social a couple of times a week, until the end of November when I went away for social at a conference all weekend. I saw a demo there of a person using Shakespeare, and then when I got back started doing some vibe-coding, shown in in Red.
A break from that to go away at the weekend to a long social party then finish it off and publish a few days ago, since when Vibe Coding has dropped off a little.
