Anna Kalinowsky, Dr. Volker Zota, and Malte Kirchner discuss various topics in this edition of the show. One of the main topics is the rapid growth of Bluesky, a social network similar to Twitter. Bluesky has quickly gained popularity, reaching 20 million accounts. The discussion explores how Bluesky differs from other social networks, what contributes to its current success, and whether it can become a real competitor to platforms like Twitter and Threads.
Another topic of concern is the vulnerability of undersea data cables. Recent damage to cables in the Baltic Sea has raised worries about the security of critical infrastructure. The discussion delves into how vulnerable the international data cable network is, the potential impact of a widespread outage, and ways to better protect this infrastructure.
Additionally, a recent survey reveals that 25% of respondents consider artificial intelligence (AI) to be smarter than their colleagues. This finding prompts a discussion about our relationship with AI, the realism of this perception, and its effects on the work environment.
