Bund zahlte in 2025 481,4 Mio € für Microsoft-Lizenzen.
Diese Dynamik macht sichtbar, wie jahrelange gezielte Produktbündelung und Lock-in-Effekte durch Microsoft den Wettbewerb ausdünnen und die digitale Souveränität Europas ad absurdum führen.

Heute ist meine neuste Studie erschienen - diesmal zur Abhängigkeit der deutschen Verwaltung von Microsoft-Diensten, den historischen Gründen und möglichen Auswegen. Auch ein Beitrag dazu, Souveränitäts-Washing zu erkennen.

Last week, I defended my doctoral thesis on cybersecurity and the question of state intervention to protect private IT systems from cyberattacks 🎓

Today has been a vibe-coding intense day:
First, my The Lawfare Institute article on vibe coding was released, read here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/when-the-vibe-are-off--the-security-risks-of-ai-generated-code
Second, I gave a quick talk on vibe coding at the Gikii conference in Amsterdam.
Vibe coding poses serious security risks, read about it here 👇
Die neuen Praxisleitfäden für KI-Modelle mit allgemeinem Verwendungszweck (GPAI-Modelle) habe ich für Digitalrechte.de im Newsletter „prompt“ analysiert.

Wow. Wenn Hintertüren in der Hardware eingebaut sind (gar auf Chipebene), dann bringt auch verschlüsseln und fancy Passwort nicht mehr viel.

Bad vibes for vibe coding?
AI-generated code (aka vibe code) harbours many security risks.
The new EU Cyber Resilience Act aims to fix this, compliance can be feigned, leading to "vibe compliance".

Just came across this poem by Ursula le Guin in „The Wild Girls Plus…“:
The Next War
It will take place,
it will take time,
it will take life,
and waste them.

If you've always wanted to get your own Boston Dynamics Spot robot, but with the ability to fire pellets and "pee", look no further: Temu has just the thing!
Robot dogs lifting legs to mimic peeing surely is an interesting approach for social robots 😅

Meta plans to replace humans with AI for risk assessments
AI-generated risk assessments are the next logical step after vibe coding - is this vibe compliance?

"And when they fail, these workers become "moral crumple zones," absorbing the blame for the defective products their bosses pushed out in order to goose profits.
As ever, what a technology does pales in comparison to who it does it for and who it does it to."

AI coding agents may create reverse-centaurs, conscripting software developers to assist AI, instead of AI assisting them.

This development seems to have already started at Amazon: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/b...
And of course the episode "Hot Wallet" (darknetdiaries.com/episode/119/) on North Korean Cybercrime operations.
I also strongly recommend this Darknet Diaries episode on identity theft to apply for tech jobs:

China is striving for AGI
A project in Wuhan plans to build a “perception-cognition-decision whole chain ecology” as a basis for “autonomously controllable AGI”.
See the report of @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social here cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...
I highly recommend this paper: It moves beyond narratives of superintelligence (whether dystopian or utopian).
Instead, it offers a framework for understanding and regulating AI as a "normal" general-purpose technology.

I even made this gif 🙃
7 years ago, when I started taking an interest in computer science 💻 AI and robotics🤖, I worked through Carrie Anne Philbins Crash Course Computer Science @pbs.org
To this day, I have the "level of abstraction" meme stuck in my head 🥰
