U.S.A is responsible for the pervasiveness of social liberalism in the centre-left of Western countries, and more specifically the topics of its American version (the so called "wokeness"). It's distinct from neoliberalism, although academic left, and its pundits, like to use that misnomer for anything liberal they want to put down.
And I want to point out that all of the terms you used are generally poorly defined.

That's also wrong, just look at the current European landscape. American Democrats are not like CDU in Germany, Conservative Party in UK, PiS in Poland, etc. , but rather closer to the centre-left counterparts in the respective countries.
I agree with you. If you look at its biggest sponsors, it’s apparent that social liberalism is an attempt to shore up the position of neoliberal capitalism by redirecting ire away from capital and corporations. By elevating the individual above all else, and promoting identity groups secondly, it also implicitly directs people away from class-based politics (which is furthermore framed as a form of supremacy/oppression). Finally, the lowest classes in the West are divided evenly between whites and oppressed minorities, so keeping them at odds prevents intra-class cooperation.
Exactly, and the prupose of these legislation was supposed to be exactly that : force companies to integrate privacy in the core of their products, not to create a list of items to tick.
The question who will benefit from wealth generated by AI is never clearly answered. Or it's hand-waved away with some productivity gains mumbo jumbo (that never result in less work, just more, because everybody loads up on AI tools) or the good old trickle down lie.
I don't see why this is voted down, we've come close to complete destruction of the human race multiple times, why would the future make that less true?
Anyone pish poshing war should go fight in one, and then let me know their opinions.
Not an org where everyone uses the tech to such a degree: also were late adopters of Docker for example, in large part got around to it due to my initiative (100-200 people org, so small).
But personally: yes and to an immense degree. The excuse “we don’t have the time for this” has pretty much evaporated when it comes to me. I do more than colleagues do and have gotten enough automation working that the AI will be made to iterate and fix its code to my desires before I ever see a line of it. I’ve added tests to entire systems thanks to it, fixed bugs across the codebase, added a bunch of additional quality control scripts and tools, improved CI, built and shipped not only entire features but systems. I can now work on about 3 projects in parallel, even if it can be super tiring.
But hey, I’m also working more on side projects outside of work and nice utilities I never had time for. I don’t really build in public sadly, but it very much is a force multiplier and makes me hate my job less sometimes (everyone has a horrible brownfield codebase or two).
This looks like a fairly typical engineer's solution to a complex social problem: it doesn't really solve the problem, introduces other issues / is gameable, yet unlikely to create problems for the creator.
Of course creator answers any criticism of the solution with "Well make something better". That's not the point: this is most likely net negative, at least that is the (imo well supported) opinion of critics.
If the cons outway the pros, then doing nothing is better than this.
But humans react to this extremely differently than a self driving car.
Humans take responsability, and the self-driving disengages and say : WELP.
Oh sorry were you "enjoying your travel time to do something useful" as we very explicitely marketed ? Well now your wife is dead and it's your fault (legally). Kisses, Elon.
ECB is doing one reckless thing after another which will inevitably lead to Germany leaving Eurozone at some point.
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say with the rest of it but this is nonsense. The ECB policy IS German, and has been for 3 decades. All of germany's economy is organized around the existence of the eurozone with Germany controlling a unified monetary policy.
One thing I can always be sure about, is reading premium gold plated, high quality, absolute dumbest nonsense about EU policies and state of EU on this website.
