Wer unter dem Vorwand, demokratische Werte zu verteidigen, Forschende aufgrund ihrer Herkunft unter Generalverdacht stellt, fährt damit letztlich selbst die beste Kampagne gegen Demokratie. Eine Wiederholung in D zu verhindern, ist letztlich sowohl eine politische UND gesellschaftliche Aufgabe.

Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years. Techbros are not nerds. They're predators.

When Int. Law becomes relevant in mainstream discourse it also often raises expectations it can't meet, with worrisome backlash effects. I wrote about this in TIME. Looking at Gaza & Ukraine it might seem like int. law is failing us, but war without law would be much worse.
