i need the “llms are might be conscious” folx to read this
From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
That's one awful feature of Grammarly gone - plenty more terrible features still to go www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...
In this golden age of surveillance, making E2EE chat normal and expected has been privacy's biggest win. I hate to see it getting rolled back. thehackernews.com/2026/03/meta...
X has offered to make changes to its verification system after a multi million euro fine by the EU Commission under the DSA.
Without knowing exactly what X is proposing it’s hard to form an opinion, but a deeply cynical person might think this is a stalling tactic by X to delay full enforcement.
Chilling. These people know that their ideas are so unpopular that people would never agree to them by consent, so they use algorithms.

HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
Más allá de la barbaridad a todos los niveles (y que siguen usando 15 años más tarde), la tecnología es política, claro. Obvio que cuando te dicen que "la tecnología nos permite alejarnos de los sesgos, de la ideología, del partidismo" en realidad quieren decir "me permiten hacer lo que YO quiera"
This parasite's company has billions in UK government contracts. I would very much like to know why.
What I find shocking is that the UK government has given Palantir so much control over vital UK infrastructure.
Palantir CEO Karp thinks his AI tech will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men. Meanwhile @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @eppgroup.bsky.social diligently working to dismantle AI regulation. 🤦♀️
i can’t tell what’s more painful: grant writing or progress/impact/financial report writing
this was Thiel making it very explicit in 2010
this is shocking only if one is not remotely familiar with the history of Palantir, Thiel and Karp

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1%
Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠

the “intelligence” he’s promising is just a suicide-instructing, porn-generating, plagiarism machine

Fuck Keir Starmer

Last month, we proposed ways to "reframe" the AI Summit conversation to bring meaning back to co-opted terms like sovereignty, democratization, and accountability.
How can we turn the seeds of the alternative agenda into action?
Read our final essay: ainowinstitute.org/general/beyo...
*waves in civic media*
The fact most fo us who do that are unemployed and we’re pivote that way because of AI ……
Means it’s probably correct
what kind of overleaf error is this
amen!!!
Just a couple of weeks ago I was trying to think of non-evil uses for AI, and I thought, "well Grammarly just checks your grammar, that's not too bad, right?"
lesson learned I guess.
I mean isn't there one .. just one
.. person in the company who said "folks this isn't right or legal and people are going to be pissed"? Or is it management overruling every such voice raised?
