Ethics and law enforcement among existing leaders would be better. Otherwise? Will we not face the same old problems with the new leaders?

Me, an incomplete newb, misreading the whole article, thinking it was a new attack vector, only to arrive back at the encrypted login .. then finally reading the headline .. . properly

🤨🤔😐😑😆😅🤣

Stand down Brown
Encrypted Drives Are Still Safe

Generations of extremely influential white men expose literal and figurative rape.

And yet 'it' continues.

As a white man, shame, fucking shame.

Wtf⁉️

Everything in that headline was appallingly normal, except for one word.

Student.

Fun fact: the very first FCPA prosecution involved a place you've never heard of, called the Cook Islands.

I arrived #Rarotonga same year FCPA law passed in 1977. That law led to toppling of founding microstate leader, Albert Henry.

In his place, a former US scientist was elected.

Agreed with all of this thread, except this bit.

Unfortunate might be too fine a point on it, as in, rather too rarefied? If I'm not mistaken, these were not parallels so much as intertwining, self-licking ice-cones otherwise known as neoliberal #corruption from 1980s onwards.

Four decades ago.

you had me at printing

as an old newspaper hack, i remember thunder of a press in the still, early morning hours .. and then i remember that AI can do that a gazillion times over.

Reported at the link is exactly how, writ small, elections are swung worldwide, eg #NZ

Writ large, a timeline might offer ?

2017: Media are the real enemy
2020: "Flood the zone with shit"
2021: Join me in a global network
2022: AI, fuck yeah

2026:

Doesn't sound very grumpy 😜

Agreed, huge amount of empathy for the vast majority who see a brand and use it, without realising limitations of the model, or the 'reality' it builds. Let alone the whole spy industrial complex and the AI bubble pop waiting to happen - anyone heard from Meta lately ?

Ah, the Hollywood Haze Heuristic, whereby an AI designed to accelerate our consumerist extinction drinks the liberal kool-aid via too many movie plots and 'thinks' .. human like book, movie; must say media *scans kajillions of webpages, apps, sms texts, old faxes and telegrams*

I'm all the way away in New Zealand, and not even gay, but if that's your 'big gay shirt' .. hoo, boy

Love me some whistleblower, but gurlfren, you gonna have to do better than that 😆🤣

"... I chose a simpler path: creating something compatible that could live on top of what already exists."

Bravo. Great approach. Overlaying existing tech with your own take is Uberish, but radically different with transparency and accountability mechanisms built in.

Best of luck!

11:33pm here in this part of the Pacific Islands, had a long day making mistakes with #ai apps on old laptops. Winding down, leaving random comments with fellow travellers.

Work @thecanaryuk.bsky.social needs repeating across commonwealths, eg Australia, New Zealand but also other OECD partners.

I'm a post-concussion unemployed presstitute with exactly 19 pennies to my name, but this still piques my interest.

Here in New Zealand, our supposedly Marxist public media have been elemental in boosting some of the most popular populists to prominence, for decades.

Fed up, too.

The whole picture is that MAGA devotees are secretly as disillusioned by Trump as liberals were by Obama. They just can't admit it to themselves, yet.

That? Awful, stalking realisation that personality politics is a failure, and one man can do SFA to DTS.

Make America Governable Again.

That would be nice. We'll have to kick the fascists out first, tho.

Oh hi! Don't mind me, random journo stumbling past trying to find out what #firstgen means - saw your works, woah, way above my paygrade, no wiser but big random congrats from me, too!

Noticed the same thing. Not sure how pumping social media results over original content providers eg news helps Google, unless there is some tech bro cartel shit going on behind the scenes.

Curious that sanctions only get passing mention.

I was confused .. didn't realise an author and this account were one and the same person, having a laugh at her own expense - sorry for confusion.

ohhhhhh duhhh .. will try and read the bio properly next time lol, thank you for your generous sharing of brain time to explain
