Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Merz: Iran should not be protected by international law
German chancellor positions himself as
Trump's closest European ally in condemning Tehran.
Not judging Germany by its history, but its current failure. How on god’s green earth did they put this man in the top position?!

Skole i København har brukt åpen kildekode i årevis
Slik ser elevenes hverdag ut.
Rimelig maskinvare og aldri lisensproblemer, ifølge skolen som droppet amerikansk big tech for flere år siden.

I understand the appeal of genAI - I'd love a tool that helped me translate the thoughts in my head to words on paper. But that's not what LLMs do (and no other "AI" is close to accomplishing). Long-form autocomplete algorithms generated from web data cannot produce "scholarship."

Vi mener det trengs en større og helhetlig tilnærming. Aldersgrenser løser ikke hovedproblemet i den digitale hverdagen. Ansvaret må plasseres hos selskapene og reguleringen av markedet må følge prinsipper om produktansvar – det er markedet som må reguleres, ikke barn og foreldre.

I have said many times "I wish I had Google Earth with time coordinates" but this is not it. The whole point is to see streets as they were, which we *could* get close to with what we know (and labour). If I want costume dept brown, unlikely carriages and vibes, that is why bad television exists.

We signed. We urged. We meant it.

Big tech is responding to incentives that form a spiral of fire making all of our technology shitty. @pluralistic@mamot.fr at the launch event of the #Enshittification report of the Norwegian Consumer Council #forbrukerradet

„Deutschland gehört zu den Ländern, die sich hier gegen den Vorschlag der Ratspräsidentschaft und hinter die Deregulierungspläne der Kommission stellen könnten. (…) regte Deutschland unter anderem weitreichende Einschränkungen von Betroffenenrechte an.“

I will never not be angry at the way tech bros have told us that the danger is apocalyptic superintelligence when it was always obvious that the reason to worry is that we would put dumb AI in really stupid places.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web
Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.
“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Original post on tldr.nettime.org
Not gonna get into it right now (gotta go to bed) but labeling criticism of LLM based "AI" as "purity culture" and that one can just legitmize using any and all tech if one just somehow creates "free and open" versions of it is not a good take. Really not. Refusing to use LLMs on ethical grounds […]
