🚲 Pedalling our way towards a greener future!

The summer of 2023 will be a milestone for cycling. We will propose a European Declaration on #Cycling, inviting the European Parliament and the EU Council to sign up for it.

We want to make sure that all our European initiatives, wherever possible, include a cycling dimension; supporting sustainable urban #mobility plans, doubling the number of safe cycling infrastructures, or creating more bicycle parking facilities.

And that’s what these models give, at almost unlimited scale. The ability to understand and monitor billions of people with all their complexity, at a super-human level of comprehension. And I’m not talking about tomorrow: the models we have today are good enough.

Encryption is the #single #best #tool we have for securing private data. Read @matthew_d_green on why the EU Commission should rethink its hurried schedule for #Chatcontrol: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2023/03/23/remarks-on-chat-control/

Up to 37 million tons of plastic waste is expected to enter the ocean annually by 2040.

Do you still think waste sorting is a loss of time?

We are united to fight these global challenges. With the:

🔹 Right to Repair initiative, aiming at reducing waste and allowing consumers to achieve considerable savings,

🔹 rule on single-use plastic products, which tackles their dissemination,

🔹 Farm to Fork strategy, aiming at creating a sustainable food system.

Let's make every day a #ZeroWasteDay!

Currently under development TEDective is a #FreeSoftware solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts.

Very interesting article on how AI generated historical images help further the American cultural hegemony on the internet and in global culture.

#googlebard and #chatgpt are showing #AI is developing rapidly. It's now clear that #human #intelligence can be surpassed by machine intelligence very soon. We are truly on the cusp of #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence. We need to think this through very carefully before proceeding further.

I have just signed the petition being organised by the Future of Life Institute asking for companies to pause giant AI experiments. You can sign it here: https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/

"Naja, ich war so beseelt von der Richtigkeit meines Handelns und wollte das mit meinen Freunden teilen. Und ich merkte, hoppla, da wird sofort das Abendessen abgebrochen. Auf einmal musste man früh ins Bett und hatte keine Zeit mehr. Freunde haben mit mir nicht geredet und das tun sie teilweise bis heute nicht. Sie wollen damit nichts zu tun haben."
