LSR vs Verlage

Leistungsschutzrecht: Google darf vergütungspflichtige Presseangebote ausblenden – Laut Medienstaatsvertrag dürfen Suchmaschinen journalistisch gestaltete Angebote nicht diskriminieren. Es gibt aber eine Ausnahme zum Unmut der Verleger. … Wenn in den Suchergebnissen bestimmte Angebote nicht angezeigt werden, weil der Betreiber diese ‚aufgrund urheber- bzw. leistungsschutzrechtlicher Regelungen nicht vergütungsfrei anzeigen darf oder kann‘, sei dies ein Rechtfertigungsgrund, ähnlich wie die Abwehr von Spam.“

Rechenzentren und Klimawandel

Data Centers’ Impact on Climate Change May Be Overblown, New Study Suggests – Researchers argue that new technology and greater efficiency could offset energy demands – But other scientists think the narrative of heat death by server farm is overblown, and they’re pushing back in a new perspective paper published in Science. These researchers say that dramatic improvements in the efficiency of data centers have kept their power demands in check over the past decade and that there’s room for more efficiency gains in the future.“

KI vs Mitarbeiter

„How hard will the robots make us work? – In warehouses, call centers, and other sectors, intelligent machines are managing humans, and they’re making work more stressful, grueling, and dangerous – The robots are watching over hotel housekeepers, telling them which room to clean and tracking how quickly they do it. They’re managing software developers, monitoring their clicks and scrolls and docking their pay if they work too slowly. They’re listening to call center workers, telling them what to say, how to say it, and keeping them constantly, maximally busy. While we’ve been watching the horizon for the self-driving trucks, perpetually five years away, the robots arrived in the form of the supervisor, the foreman, the middle manager.“

TikTok to Surpass 50 Million Users in US by 2021 – TikTok’s US user base will grow 21.9% this year to 45.4 million people. By 2021, it will surpass 50 million (52.2 million). This follows 97.5% growth in 2019, as the dynamic, short-form video platform drew in a huge number of users, especially children and teens. Growth will slow to single digits in 2022 as the app becomes heavily saturated among core younger users.“
