Daniel Neun and Radio Utopie: About

Technically speaking, I‘m an alien. I don‘t live on this planet, let alone Germany. I live in Berlin. Now you say „Take care of your own planet!“. Love to, but as long as the ion drive isn‘t common available that‘s not an option.

So,I am an artist. Music. Wonderful. Very good.

Then, I am an online journalist. That‘s not so good.

Actually there are a lot of bad news every day. The good news is: you find those on my news agency which is kinda unique.

New footage shows aid workers killed deliberately by Israel on March 23

(April 5, 2025)

A video discovered on a slain medic’s phone reveals the truth behind Israel’s targeting of 15 aid workers on March 23 in Palestine’s Gaza.

Israel initially claimed the vehicles were unmarked and “suspicious,” falsely stating that they had “killed nine militants.”

The footage, however, reveals that the ambulances and fire trucks involved were clearly marked with emergency lights when they were targeted.

‚Operational misunderstanding‘ led to killing of Gaza medics, IDF inquiry says

Fourteen emergency workers and a UN worker were killed on 23 March after a convoy of Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulances, a UN car and a fire truck came under fire by the Israeli military.

In a statement, the IDF said its troops opened fire believing they were facing a threat from enemy forces.

The IDF said its investigation found six of the casualties were Hamas members, and rejected that there had been summary executions.
(…)
It blamed „poor night visibility“, which the IDF said meant the commander did not identify the vehicles as ambulances.

Palestinian detainee from Bethlehem dies in Israeli custody

According to the Commission and PPS, Radaydeh is the second detainee to be declared dead in Israeli custody within four days. Following his detention and critical injury, he was held for a period at Israel’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center, where, according to available data and visitation records, his condition had later stabilized.

With Radaydeh’s death, the number of prisoners and detainees who have died since the beginning of the genocide has risen to 65, whose identities are known. At least 40 of these detainees are from Gaza.

This period has been the deadliest in the history of the Palestinian prisoner movement since 1967. As a result, the total number of Palestinian detainees who have died in Israeli prisons since 1967 has risen to 302. Meanwhile, the bodies of 74 deceased prisoners remain withheld, including 63 who died since the start of the genocide.

It is important to note that many detainees from Gaza remain subject to the crime of enforced disappearance.

Van Hollen: ‚I am not defending the man, I am defending the rights of this man to due process‘

Karl asked the senator what Abrego Garcia shared during their meeting.

“He told me about the trauma he had been experiencing, both in terms of the abduction and the fact that he was originally sent to CECOT, which is this notorious prison,” Van Hollen said. “He specifically mentioned his 5-year-old boy who has autism, because that boy had been in the car with him when U.S. agents had stopped them and handcuffed him and then taken him away.”

Sen. Chris Van Hollen says U.S. is in a ‚constitutional crisis‘ as Trump disregards court orders in the Abrego Garcia case

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., on Sunday accused President Donald Trump of sending the U.S. into a constitutional crisis, saying members of the Trump administration “are very much flouting the courts as we speak.”

Asked directly on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” whether the U.S. is currently in a constitutional crisis, Van Hollen said, “Yes, we are.”

Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country.

Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing — But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

Palantir Gotham: Systembeschreibung und Funktionsweise

(29. November 2018)

Was die Apps von Gotham für die Nutzer attraktiv machen dürfte, ist die Mischung aus Komfort, Einfachheit in der Bedienung, Schick und vermutlich auch ein Anteil von „Spaß und Spiel“. Denn solche modernen ‚Apps‘ machen dem Nutzer natürlich mehr Spaß als die altbackene, dröge Benutzeroberfläche der bisher genutzten polizeilichen Informationssysteme, die vor fünfzehn bis zwanzig Jahren entwickelt wurden. Mit den Apps von Gotham/Hessendata kann man auf einer grafischen Oberfläche mit Daten „herumspielen“, mal eine Idee ausprobieren und sich – „zeig mal, wohin diese Beziehung im grafischen Netzwerk führt“ – zeigen lassen, wohin die führt. Für einen Auswerter ist ein solches Werkzeug eine willkommene – und sinnvolle! – Unterstützung zur Aktivierung der eigenen Kreativität und Unterstützung der Hypothesenbildung. Gefährlich wird es, wenn solche „Gedankengänge“ von der Analyseplattform Horizon zurückgespeichert werden in den permanenten Speicher der Revisioning DB. Ich sehe darin die Gefahr, dass solche Gedankenspiele, also Hypothesen des Analytikers von echten, bewiesenen Fakten nicht mehr deutlich genug unterschieden werden können. Und polizeiliche bzw. strafrechtliche Entscheidungen zunehmend mehr auf Annahmen als auf Fakten basieren.

US-Analysesoftware: Palantir macht Polizei und Militär politisch

Mehrere Bundesländer – darunter Hamburg, Bremen und Thüringen – fordern eine europäische Alternative zu dem umstrittenen System, das Sicherheitsbehörden automatisierten Zugriff auf vielfältige personenbezogene Daten gewährt. Doch unionsgeführte Länder wie Bayern, Hessen und Nordrhein-Westfalen nutzen die Technik bereits.
(…)
Auch in militärischen Strukturen hat Palantir längst Fuß gefasst. Am Mittwoch gab die Nato bekannt, dass ihr operatives Hauptquartier in Brüssel künftig mit dem „Maven Smart System“ (MSS) arbeiten werde – einer KI-gestützten Planungssoftware, die das US-Unternehmen entwickelt hat.
(…)
Das US-Militär setzt das „Maven“-System längst ein, auch an Standorten in Deutschland.

Will AI become God? That’s the wrong question.

(April 7. 2025)

I really want to emphasize, from a metaphysical point of view, I can’t prove, and neither can anyone else, that a computer is alive or not, or conscious or not, or whatever. All that stuff is always going to be a matter of faith. That’s just the way it is. But what I can say is that this emphasis on trying to make the models seem like they’re freestanding new entities does blind us to some ways we could make them better.

So does all the anxiety, including from serious people in the world of AI, about human extinction feel like religious hysteria to you?

What drives me crazy about this is that this is my world. I talk to the people who believe that stuff all the time, and increasingly, a lot of them believe that it would be good to wipe out people and that the AI future would be a better one, and that we should wear a disposable temporary container for the birth of AI. I hear that opinion quite a lot.

Wait, that’s a real opinion held by real people?

Many, many people. Just the other day I was at a lunch in Palo Alto and there were some young AI scientists there who were saying that they would never have a “bio baby” because as soon as you have a “bio baby,” you get the “mind virus” of the [biological] world.

“Big data is people” by Rebecca Lemov

(November 3, 2017)

We live in the ‘petabyte era’ defined by the rapid generation of massive amounts of data. It is important to keep in mind that the source of all this new data is in fact us. The so-called ‘big data’ that experts and companies use on a daily basis for their ads, research and strategies is generated by our everyday activities, and can be traced back to almost everything that we do. In our modern technological world, those with the ‘know-how’ can track just about every move that we make through our phones, bank cards, our cars, and even the pages that we scroll through on social media without clicking. All of these leave a trail, our digital fingerprint.
