- svemeThe German Personalausweis seems to offer something like this (basically returning a bool indicating whether a user is below or above a certain age), but it seems as if the service indicates which data it requests from the ID card. As a user, I would not be able to state that this or that porn site should only see this age verification. Not sure how the requestable data are in turn requested by the service.
- I wouldn't believe that any sort of economy or governmental system would actually survive any of this. Ford was right in that sense, without people with well-paying jobs, no one will buy the services of robots and AIs. The only thing that would help would be the massive redistribution of wealth through inheritance taxation and taxation on ownership itself. Plus UBI, though I'm fairly sceptical of what that would do to a society without purpose.
- When people starve and have no means to revolt against their massively overpowered AI/robot overlords, then I'd expect people to go back to sustenance farming (after a massive reduction in population numbers).
A while later, the world is living in a dichotomy of people living off the land and some high tech spots of fully autonomous and self-maintaining robots that do useless work for bored people. Knowing people and especially the rich, I don't believe in Culture-like utopia, unfortunately, sad as it may be.
- Cannot find a graph of battery capacity growth for Germany right away, but anecdotally (stories in the news and number of startups I‘m aware of), that market is super hot right now.
Edit: according to [1], numbers predict a coming tsunami of battery installations for Germany

- Might I have taken the potential for complete economic collapse because no one's got a paying job any more and billionaires are just sitting there, surrounded by their now useless robots, to the too extreme?
- That's actually my favourite answer to the Fermi paradox: when AI and robot development becomes sufficiently advanced and concentrated in the hands of a few, then the economy will collapse completely as everyone will be out of jobs, leading ultimately to AIs and robots out of a job - they only matter if there are still people buying services from them. People then return to sustenance farming, with a highly reduced population. There will be self-maintained robots doing irrelevant work, but people will go back to farming and a bit of trading. Only if AI and robot ownership would be in the hands of the masses I'd expect a different long term outcome.
- Up to the 80s the science and engineering of the soviet union was top notch, they were mostly equal or even better when you look at the space program. I was thinking similarly to you about the superiority of capitalism to generate engineering progress, but for some stuff I‘m not so sure anymore. China, for example, is an interesting mix of long-term governmental planning and capitalist cambrian explosions. Not sure cause and effect absolutely determined by now.
- French Guiana is part of the EU, sounds like mailboxes there will soon become good business.
- For me, the problem is that while I find these videos extremely fascinating, I'm missing the whole interaction part - it is unclear to me how much of these movements are preprogrammed and how far away the engineers are from having these robots being able to respond to complex requests. This mapping from human language to motor action needs to be the next step (something that Nvidia is working towards).
- Sir, this is an Englishman writing; he‘s obviously taking the piss.
- If that is your experience with companies and managers, you have to choose your jobs more wisely. In good companies managers were engineers at some point as well and know what is important technically and motivationally.
- Leadership at Cariad also seems to have a background in mechanical engineering, so those processes translate. You need people with hands-on software engineering experience to create a new culture that works for software development.
- The state of Lower Saxony, where VW is located, is also a 20% stakeholder and politically extremely influential.
- Yes. It‘s striking what kind of benefits a large domestic market automatically brings to startups. If the EU really wants to get closer to the US and China, they really need to make the single market become true. Not going to happen in the foreseeable future, though.

Hiring Manager here, we're building e2e applications using ML/AI and satellite imagery to identify deforestation in EU supply chains - and more.
First of all, apologies to those of you who haven't received a response yet. I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of sent applications. On the Data Scientist position: we are looking for someone who brings additional remote sensing/satellite imagery expertise into our team, sorry if I haven't followed up with you if you applied without this background.
We need people that know how to build efficient and performant ML pipelines for our data scientists (experience with any sort of computer vision data cubes beneficial, doesn't need to be satellite imagery) and for e2e production inference pipelines, engineers that implement complex supply chain business logic using nestjs, engineers that build wonderful user interfaces in react and data scientists that solve really hard problems in satellite imagery segmentation using deep learning:
- MLOps Engineers with experience in bringing time-series computer vision models into production: https://liveeo-gmbh.jobs.personio.de/job/1573343
- Mid-level Backend Engineers with typescript experience: https://liveeo-gmbh.jobs.personio.de/job/1552984
- Staff/Senior Data Scientists with experience in remote sensing, satellite imagery, computer vision, time-series image classification/data hypercubes and foundation models (not yet online, please send me an email, see below)
Please reach out to me with your CVs and questions: sven dot mesecke @ company domain
- Can you give some brand names? Really interested in this.

- They are part of the EU, so anyone from there can freely move and live there. You cannot restrict this. Limitations in flights would be feasible, I guess.
- Same old, same old. In an interconnected grid, everyone is importing and exporting from and to everyone. Germany (which you are referring to), is still an exporter of electricity.
- Why solaris bank? A lot if startups are relying on them, what‘s wrong with them? Though TradeRepublic moved away from them, makes you wonder.
