BERLINER ZEITUNG: Der KI-Chatbot Grok behauptete, die Gaskammern in Auschwitz-Birkenau seien zur Bekämpfung von Typhus gedacht gewesen. Frankreich ermittelt nun gegen die Plattform X.
Der KI-Chatbot Grok von Elon Musks Firma xAI ist erneut mit antisemitischen Inhalten aufgefallen. Anlass ist eine Aussage zu den Gaskammern im Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau. Dabei hatte das Unternehmen nach einem früheren Skandal um die Verherrlichung Adolf Hitlers angekündigt, die Programmierung zu überarbeiten.
In einem auf X veröffentlichten Beitrag in französischer Sprache schrieb Grok, die Gaskammern von Auschwitz seien zur „Desinfektion mit Zyklon B gegen Typhus“ gedacht gewesen und nicht für den Massenmord. Eine Formulierung, die ein klassisches Motiv der Holocaust-Leugnung ist. Der offizielle Account des Auschwitz-Memorials kritisierte die Aussage scharf und erklärte, sie verfälsche historische Tatsachen und verstoße gegen die Regeln der Plattform. Der Beitrag wurde nach Medienberichten am Montag, 17. November, veröffentlicht und blieb rund drei Tage online, bevor er gelöscht wurde. » | Alexander Schmalz | Freitag, 21. November 2025
Vor ein paar Tagen hat Elon Musk einen Deal mit Kronprinz Mohammed bin Salman gemacht, um gemeinsam über Grok im Golf eng zu arbeiten. Mir scheint unter diesen Umständen für den Kronprinz so eine Verbindung sehr kontovers zu sein. — © Mark Alexander

Guerre en Ukraine : Donald Trump met de nouveau Kiev sous pression
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - L’ébauche d’un plan de paix demandant des concessions majeures à Kiev constitue un nouveau changement de posture du président américain.
La politique de Trump vis-à-vis de l’Ukraine vient de connaître un nouveau mouvement de balancier. Les 28 propositions d’un «plan de paix» négocié directement entre les Russes et les Américains, dont les fuites ont été organisées dans les médias mercredi, ressemblent fortement à un nouvel alignement de l’Administration sur les revendications russes, au détriment de l’Ukraine, qui n’a pas été associée aux négociations.
Selon les éléments connus, le plan exigerait de Kiev des concessions territoriales, militaires et diplomatiques équivalentes à une capitulation. Sans avoir été vaincue, l’Ukraine devrait renoncer aux parties du Donbass qu’elle contrôle encore, abandonnant notamment les puissantes lignes défensives aménagées depuis 2015, et que les Russes n’ont pas réussi à percer, réduire de moitié la taille de son armée, et abandonner des pans entiers de son armement offensif, en particulier les missiles à longue portée. » | Par Adrien Jaulmes, correspondant à Washington | vendredi 21 novembre 2025

Trump veut que cette guerre prenne fin, non pas parce qu'il se soucie vraiment du bien-être des Ukrainiens, mais, si je ne m'abuse, parce qu'il souhaite conclure des accords commerciaux lucratifs avec la Russie, grâce auxquels il peut s'enrichir, ainsi que sa famille et ses sbires, encore davantage. — © Mark Alexander

Trump’s ‘Ignorant’ Witkoff Doesn't Understand the Basic Principles of World Affairs
Nov 21, 2025 | “It’s an absolutely absurd, ludicrous, illiterate document written by ignorant people.”
Witkoff’s peace plan with Putin proves he doesn’t understand the “basic principles of world affairs”, says chair of the foreign affairs select committee in the Ukrainian parliament, Oleksandr Merezhko.

Zelenskyy Ready to Work with US on ‘Their Vision’ for Ending War in Ukraine | BBC News
Nov 21, 2025 | President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he is ready to work with the US on "their vision" for ending the war with Russia.
Under the plan, which has not yet been made public, Kyiv would cede significant areas of the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine that it still controls, cut the size of its army, and pledge not to join NATO - proposals it had previously ruled out.
The White House has pushed back on claims that Ukraine was not involved in the drafting of the plan, which emerged following meetings between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and and Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev.
Zelenskyy said he was set to speak to Trump in the coming days about the proposals, which also include plans for Ukraine to forgo many of its weapons.
It is to be hoped that Volodymyr Zelenskyy won’t fall for this plan put forward by the US. This would be tantamount to rewarding the aggressor! One should not forget that it was Russia which invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. So the acceptance of this plan would set a precedent for other aggressor countries: The takeaway being… invade another country and you will not be punished for the invasion; rather, you will be rewarded for it!
As for having NATO-like guarantees, Zelenskyy would be wise to ignore such claptrap. Ukraine has been here before. On December 5, 1994, the Budapest Memorandum was signed in exchange for security guarantees. In that Memorandum, the Ukraine relinquished its nuclear arsenal that it had inherited from the Soviet Union in return for guaranteed assurances from the US and the UK, and even from Russia itself. Those assurances proved to be worthless.
Relinquishing its nuclear arsenal weakened Ukraine unnecessarily. One can but wonder whether Russia would have invaded Ukraine in February 2022 had Ukraine refused to relinquish its nuclear arsenal. I would wager that it probably wouldn’t have.
Therefore, keeping that hard lesson in mind, it is to be hoped that Zelenskyy will be very reluctant to hand over its territory to Putin’s Russia. It would appear to the outside observer that Putin is on an empire-building mission. If that is truly the case, and it probably is, he will not be satisfied to get the Donbass from Ukraine; rather, he will use that annexation as a stepping stone for the rest of the country, and then, the next country!

The Music Lovers - Tchaikovsky Biopic - Richard Chamberlain - Glenda Jackson - Subs - Restored - 4K
Sep 21, 2025 | The Music Lovers (1971): A Cinematic Portrayal - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was one of the most celebrated and influential composers of the Romantic era. Born in Votkinsk, Russia, he showed an early aptitude for music but was initially trained for a career as a civil servant. At the age of 21, he made the brave decision to pursue music seriously, enrolling at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. His music is renowned for its rich melodies, dramatic emotionalism, and distinctive orchestration, which combined Russian folk elements with Western European symphonic forms. Throughout his career, he produced a vast body of work across various genres, including symphonies (like the powerful Symphony No. 6, "Pathetique"), concertos (such as the beloved Piano Concerto No. 1), and ballets that remain staples of the repertoire, including The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. Despite his immense success, Tchaikovsky's personal life was marked by deep psychological turmoil, particularly his struggles with his homosexuality in a deeply conservative society. This internal conflict is often reflected in the melancholic and tempestuous nature of his most famous compositions.
The Music Lovers (1971): A Cinematic Portrayal
Ken Russell's 1971 film, The Music Lovers, is a highly stylized and controversial biopic that centers on the composer's tragic and turbulent life. Starring Richard Chamberlain as Tchaikovsky, the film is less a traditional biography and more a passionate, almost operatic, exploration of the composer's inner world. It focuses on his disastrous marriage to Antonina Milyukova, portrayed by Glenda Jackson, as a central source of his torment. Russell uses the film's visuals and narrative to mirror the intense emotionality of Tchaikovsky's music, with key musical pieces often accompanying surreal and dramatic sequences. For instance, the film’s interpretation of the First Piano Concerto visually translates the composer's passion, while his ballet music underscores scenes of personal anxiety and emotional collapse. The film's emphasis on psychological and emotional drama, rather than strict historical accuracy, makes it a unique and powerful cinematic experience, offering a a distinct and memorable interpretation of the composer's legacy.
