the online safety act is censoring the guardian
there's no way to read this article unless you install a vpn
the problem with the osa: all any tech platform has to do is mark something as 'adult content' and it automatically gets censored
this puts censorship powers in the hands of big tech
But users are clamoring for AI to be stuffed in all software!

NEW: Staffers at notorious spyware maker Intellexa had live remote access to their customers' surveillance systems.
This allowed them to see the personal data of targets hacked with Intellexa's spyware Predator, according to research based on a leaked training video.
Needless to say, this is bad.
Amnesty International says it found evidence that a government customer of Intellexa, a sanctioned surveillance vendor, used its Predator spyware against a prominent journalist in Angola.
Intellexa associates- incl founder - sentenced to 8 years in prison in Greece. (They remain free on appeal). Spyware combatant John Scott-Railton on impact to biz: "This is going to be a huge ball and chain that Intellexa’s executives are going to be dragging around."

Io continuo a trovare inconcepibile — e insieme un segno inconfutabile di una civiltà fallita — che sia diventato “normale” che milioni di studenti abbiano letteralmente smesso di imparare perché tanto c’è l’AI a imparare al posto loro.
Parlano sempre di emergenze democratiche: ecco, questa lo è.

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants- And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹 He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff. It’s heart wrenchingly sweet They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it
the AI evangelists are not okay

I truly don’t know how these people - the ones springing up to insist that accountability is irrelevant, victims’ rights are meaningless, and that the powerful should never be afflicted or even inconvenienced - look at themselves in the mirror
MAGA's war on European civil society is escalating. Visa bans for NGO leaders and former EU officials, plus congressional demands for documents - it's all about undermining the Digital Services Act to protect Big Tech.
If Europe doesn't push back hard, "the law is dead."

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

After years reporting on Europe’s dependence on Big Tech, we’re making a vital shift: phasing out U.S. tech and moving to European alternatives. With rising geopolitical tensions and risks tied to foreign cloud infrastructure, this is about protecting our journalism, security, and independence.
Hi. Former NSA hacker here:
This portal will be used by US intelligence and law enforcement for intelligence collection and to deliver 0-days to targets of interest. You can take that to the bank. I'd bet my mortal soul on it.
Milionesimo esempio di quanto l'AI sia dannosa per un dibattito pubblico informato e per quanto possibile basato se non su logica e razionalità quantomeno su una base di realtà comune a chi discute.
Serve una critica dell'AI *molto* più radicale di quella comunemente adottata oggi. Subito.
France, Germany and other European countries have demanded the resignation of Francesca Albanese for calling Israel "the common enemy of humanity".
The problem is... she never said that. The video was manipulated by AI and taken at face value by governments.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”
Amazon discovered those "civil society" types are indeed still paying attention.

Zuck taking advantage of every opportunity, I guess. "World's going to shit? Well, I guess EFF will be too busy opposing fascism to notice that we launched surveillance glasses!"
Cool, cool.
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.
