## Summary

CABLE 2024/05, a digest from New Design Congress, covers its recent talks and research alongside essays critical of European tech policy and AI. Cade Diehm argues that a leaked draft of Horizon Europe revealed a €27 million cut to open source funding for 2025, endangering hundreds of projects, and that a faulty CrowdStrike update showed the risks of Microsoft monoculture. Benjamin Royer argues that the AI bubble is bursting and that data breaches show digital identity's presentation, access and possession layers should be separated.
