Trump Administration Official Says Quiet Part Out Loud on AI-in-Government Plans A ProPublica report on plans to use AI to write regulations at the US Department of Transportation should be a warning signal, writes Jordan Ascher.

A ProPublica report on plans to use AI to write regulations at the US Department of Transportation should be a warning signal for public interest advocates and litigators, writes Jordan Ascher, policy counsel at Governing for Impact. It’s time to prepare for a flood of machine-generated rules.

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.

DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics.

This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany.

AI should deliver progress for workers, not just profits for big tech CEOs. AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social joined @californialabor.bsky.social and labor leaders from across the country to address how we need guardrails to protect our rights, jobs and freedoms so workers can benefit from AI

THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP Ever since Christopher Columbus set foot on the American Continent and discovered the U.S.A. in 1492, the woke mob has been trying to destroy his accomplishments and tarnish his name with fake news. No longer will this be the case. Along with reinstating Columbus Day, President Trump will be placing a 35 foot tall golden statue of Columbus at E Street near the White House. Delivering for America!

One thing Dummy Donny Drumpf has succeeded at it is making *gold* seem so fucking trashy.
Fun fact: Christopher Columbus did not discover the U.S.A. He actually never set foot in what would *become* the U.S.A.

The tool was not designed to reliably identify people. And ICE uses it to identify people. This is direct discrimination laundered through technology.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
