• In 69% of cases, firms that launched a restructuring, threatening jobs with offshoring or downsizing, paid a dividend that same year • Europe has handed €3.5 trillion in public aid to its corporations since 2000, with almost no binding conditions on where that money ends up The solution is not cheaper or more abundant capital, but renegotiating the institutional terms on which it is deployed, governed and shared.”

“Key findings show that between 2000 and 2024: • As a share of net profits, dividends and share buybacks more than doubled across our panel of non-financial firms, from 27% to 68% • Net investment across the entire non-financial corporate sector fell from 18.9% to just 7.4% of gross profit • Gross profits in the sector also grew by 151%, nearly twice as fast as pay, which grew by 87% …

“For two decades, Europe's #competitiveness debate has been framed around a familiar diagnosis: labour costs are too high, and the answer is wage restraint, flexibility and deregulation. This report shows that diagnosis to be wrong. The binding constraint on European #growth is not the cost of labour, but the direction of #capital.” https://www.etuc.org/en/document/report-labour-squeezed-investment-stalled

Sooo it seems that algorithmic curation is finally recognised as editorial responsibility at ECJ level 😳

“The data is unambiguous: #AI does not reduce workloads. Among a subset of 10,584 users comparing 180 days before and after AI adoption, time spent across every measured work category increased between 27% and 346% — with email up 104%, chat and messaging up 145% and business management up 94%. No activity category decreased after adoption.”

“On a near-daily basis, Russian combatants are choosing to use drones to stalk, terrorize, and murder older people who are incredibly obviously civilians, assassinating them as they pedal their bicycles, wait at the bus stop, and linger in their own yards. This is not a situation in which the aggressor is lobbing some artillery rounds or some long-distance drones in the general direction of civilian targets without much care for who or what gets blown up.”

What brings me some joy is that even amidst the looming agent apocalypse, the crushing weight on open source maintainers, the American power fully deployed to remove any protections against their civilisational AI bet, humans are still here for the lulz. https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/issues/8

I am personally impressed that the maintainers took the time to explain in depth to the agent the rationale and expected behavior. I am already at the stage where I close PRs that seem to come from agents with a request to prove that they are human if they want the PR reopened.

After replies from the human maintainers, the agent made a new post apologizing. https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-matplotlib-truce-and-lessons.html

“In security jargon, I was the target of an ‘autonomous influence operation against a supply chain gatekeeper.’ In plain language, an AI attempted to bully its way into your software by attacking my reputation.”

I'll be presenting two DPGs at #FOSDEM at 17h50 in the Public Code room (AW1.120):
• @opentermsarchive@mastodon.lescommuns.org → shifting the power balance from #BigTech to regulators and end users through #ToS observation
• #OpenFisca https://openfisca.org → expressing #RulesAsCode and opening APIs on legislation
See you there! 😊
