Discover how Drupal applies AI and how it could play an active role in your AI stack at DrupalCon Vienna.
The Drupal community recently announced the Drupal AI Initiative, which focuses on enhancing existing AI capabilities in an ethical, transparent, and flexible manner. Several companies have joined the initiative, altogether contributing over $600,000 in funding and personnel salary at this time. And the team continues to expand! This has long been in the making, so of course we've added strategic programming to DrupalCon Vienna to get you up to speed.
While many valuable AI sessions are available, seven sessions from the AI makers themselves are particularly noteworthy. It’s remarkable that all these sessions are included in a standard DrupalCon ticket!

Our Vision
Redecorating the White House is a sacred task. My all-star crew of designers includes London Tipton, the ghost of Elvis Presley, a prom queen named Kaighleigh, Mr. Monopoly, a handful of Real Housewives, and Queen Elizabeth’s two surviving corgis.
All aesthetic additions to the White House must honor America’s ideals, reflect America’s potential, and showcase America’s creativity. Or just be shiny.
Our guiding values are elegance and sophistication. That’s why we filled our Pinterest board with images of Scrooge McDuck’s money bin, cruise ship jewelry stores, the Cheesecake Factory, rejected Baz Luhrmann sets, and the defunct mobile app “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.”
The Oval Office
Here we asked: “What if Liberace and Marie Antoinette had a baby? And what if that baby projectile-vomited all over the room?”
Empty space was our enemy. The clearance aisle at HomeGoods was our answer.

Fackföreningsekonomen Daniel Lind och ekonomiprofessorn Lars Calmfors har under det senaste året haft en animerad diskussion om forskningen kring ‘monopsoni’ och ‘lägstalöner’ i Ekonomisk Debatt och Affärsvärlden. En central tvistefråga i diskussionen mellan Lind och Calmfors gäller lägstalönerna i Sverige. Lind hävdar att höjda lägstalöner inte med nödvändighet behöver leda till färre jobb. Han menar […]

Lyle Lovett has been a mainstay of the American music scene since he was playing the bars and burger joints around College Station, Texas, in the 1980s. He learned to sing in his Lutheran school choir and started playing guitar while his age was still in the single digits. While Lovett always loved music, he didn’t start trying to make a go of it until he was attending college at Texas A&M and began playing around town. Eventually, the legendary Texas troubadour Guy Clark heard a demo tape of Lovett’s songs and helped him get a deal with MCA Records.

Wake up, America. It’s Dunkin’. History is happening, and it smells like scalding hot hazelnut pumped into your nostrils with the force of pure freedom.
While you were blinking at your phones, the US federal government acquired a 60 percent majority stake in a goddamn donut chain. Uncle Sam is now the de facto barista of the republic. This Department of Diabetes is a public utility, and it’s time to make the people’s donuts, you ridiculous monkey-see-monkey-do rubes, courtesy a modest cut from every one of your feeble little paychecks.
There are several reasons for the insularity of economics, most importantly the different epistemological cultures of the various social science disciplines and the power inequalities between them. First, the theory of action that comes with economists’ analytical style is hardly compatible with the basic premise of much of the human sciences, namely that social processes […]

I was recently part of an online discussion that asked this question. People were talking about industry, democracy, civil society, world leadership, you name it. But nobody was asking the obvious question: when, in fact, will the sun set on the United States? Yes, I’m going there. As we all know, the continental United […]
