DOGE Is Hacking America
The U.S. government has experienced what may be the most consequential security breach in its history.
Few months a I discussed Arrighi's "Long 20th century" speculating if it will be that easy for China to become the new imperium. I was arguing that U.S. safeguarded it's position on multiple levels, legally and technologically. I must admit I didn't see that coming: foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/11/d...

Workers are largely missing from the 2025 work programme published today by the European Commission
It is the first time since 2019 that the work programme has not contained any new social legislation

The public funding for AI should be spent not only by direct projects but on a daily basis by public procurement) on ethical, safe for humans and planet technology - with software under free copyleft licenses so it will be open for public review and boost innovation #aiactionsummit #roost #commons

What we need to have AI working for people (not the opp) on EU level is the precautionary principle which should work exactly the same way as pharmaceutical or pesticides acceptance process - BEFORE introducing to market should prove safety for humans and planet. No balancing #aiactionsummit #roost

@audreyt.org thank you for bringing important points to the AI discussion - yes, we need #interoperability. Which means biding regulations with strong execution. I hope Roost will direct its effort to the right places WTO, European Commission, and free trade agreements negotiations #aiactionsummit

While we are witnessing Musk AI coup d'etat in US here in Paris on #aiactionsummit we here from main stage that the solution to AI threats to democracy is... an education and that some nice businesses will work on some nice AI. This is disturbing at least

A w Polsce (prawie} wszyscy zaskoczeni, że jako Tusk nie zmienił polityki na #granica. Tylko że on lat mówił otwarcie o zamykaniu granic

Speaking a democracy... Most of the citizens are workers and we need also democracy in the work place. Unf for now I don't see good representation of legitimate union concerns about impact of AI on decent jobs and payments. We don't want to be managed by robots, you know #aiactionsummit

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala DG WTO about AI's related challenges: 1. fragmentation of regulatory framework 2. developing countries could not have equal opp to participate in prospected 14% growth. So it's where we are - WTO will continue to push for free market solutions, business as usual #aiactionsummit

Why is African Tech Workers Rising at the #AIActionSummit?
As ex-Facebook moderator Sonia says: there are $billions invested into #AI. The workers making AI safe and accurate deserve decent jobs and their fair share.

To można tak po prostu odpuścić sobie procedury, bo "projekt jest oczekiwany"? A mogli napisać, że opinie eksperckie nie są zgodne z projektem, więc nie ma sensu, żebyście się tu państwo męczyli z ich pisaniem, bo nie powiecie nam niczego, czego sami nie wiemy, ale ustawę trzeba i tak przyjąć

Od dawna toczy się dyskusja, czym są klasy i jak badać kto do jakiej należy, czy jak ktoś "ma" coś na kredyt to jest posiadaczem czy posiadanym, czy liczy się własność środków prod. czy aspiracje, zarobki czy kapitał kult - a jak zmierzyć bycie obiektem pogardy? #rozaluxemburg #kapitalizm #klasizm
