Unsurprisingly, mass surveillance of migrants at the border rapidly became mass surveillance of everyone everywhere. A lesson we keep ignoring.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious

"A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took"

Questa tecnologia inutile produce più istigazione al suicidio, pornografia non consensuale, sorveglianza e propaganda autoritaria che altro, ma sì certo il problema è sicuramente l’UE che cercava di regolarla

Come volevasi dimostrare: il dubbio sull’integrità dell’istituzione ormai è stato piantato nell’opinione pubblica, ora il partito può tornare nei ranghi mentre gli scriba di area continuano a picchiare

Ribadisco: roba da regime

The EU promised to lead on regulating artificial intelligence. Now it’s hitting pause. Under pressure from the U.S. and tech companies, the EU is backing away from plans to rein in highly risky technologies.

"Democracy is dying in the West because it has been overtaken by a caste of professionals, politicians and technocrats, for whom democracy is a slogan, a contest, a source of legitimacy in an instrumental sense, but not an idea or ideal they respect or aspire to."

"Because Secret Desires left this data in the open and mishandled its users’ data, we have a clear look at how people use generative AI to sexually fantasize about the women around them, whether those women know their photos are being used or not"

Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...

My students tell me that this stuff is no longer going viral on their social media accounts.

With the ceasefire, the "normal" violence just receded into the background again.

The Commission’s deregulation agenda has opened the door to Big Tech lobbying.

🫂 During a tour in Silicon Valley, EU Commissioner Virkkunen shamelessly courted Big Tech CEOs promising to ‘simplify’ EU rules.

"The punishments have often been driven by social media campaigns that circulate screenshots of the offending remarks, along with the names and phone numbers of employers, and appeals such as, “Internet, do your thing.”"

Affascinante come sempre come il frame della destra diventi l’ancora su cui si basa il “dibattito”: perché mai una conversazione informale sarebbe da equiparare a un “piano” (eversivo, golpista, di ostacolo a un legittimo governo in carica)?

Non si sa. Ma intanto parliamo di un “piano” comunque.

Does he even own a suit?

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Quindi qualcuno ha registrato/origliato una conversazione in pubblico di un consigliere di Mattarella per poi darne "notizia" a la Verità e inventarsi così un complotto del Colle contro il governo?

E il problema sarebbe la conversazione e non l'accusa di golpe?

Logica vorrebbe che più ardito è il claim più inoppugnabili dovrebbero essere le prove. E poi ci sono loro.
