OpenAI employees pushed for the company to inform Canadian police about a user they thought would engage in real-world violence months before the person did just that, killing eight people in a horrific attack in Tumbler Ridge.
The company only reached out to police after the shooting had occurred.
Support Palestinians’ autonomy to earn income (to feed their families), study, and build their futures. Spark Space is a mutual aid project providing internet & electricity to the community to do just that.

A huge shift in tech: Now Lenovo sells PCs and laptops with pre-installed Linux and provide full support.
This makes me as Ubuntu user very happy.
Buy a Lenovo Linux PC/laptop and enjoy a computer that belongs to you and doesn't spy on you like Windows 11.
Many CEOs of the big tech companies are Indian origin: Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc. What happens if they move to India and lead successful tech companies there? We would have more healthy competition in this space instead of our total dependency on American techs.
YOU can support digital + education rights for hundreds of freelancers & students in Gaza! This humanitarian project serves a community in north Gaza with electricity & internet in a safe space. So people can work and feed their families...!

"You know what's better than refusing to use a #technology because you hate its creators? Seizing that technology and making it your own. Don't like the fact that a convicted monopolist has a death-grip on networking? Steal its protocol, release a free #software version of it, and leave it in your dust...
That's how we make good #tech... by liberating the technology from its monstrous forebears and making free and open versions of it:"

Interessante Hintergründe zur militarisierten, digitalen Überwachungsindustrie und Milliardärskartellen um Palantir, SpaceX, Thiel Capital und Co.. Die systemische Analyse könnte zwar ausgefeilter sein, die Netzwerke und autoritären Ideologien werden aber gut beleuchtet.
Während diese Entwicklungen derzeit vor allem in den #USA stattfinden, fasst Palantir auch in #Europa immer mehr Fuß. In #Deutschland sind es vor allem die Partei Die Grünen und die Union, die dem Einsatz von Palantir-Überwachungstechnologie auf Länderebene immer weiter den Grund bereiten.

Innenausschuss in Sachsen-Anhalt winkt massiv kritisiertes Palantir-Gesetz unverändert durch
‚Das geplante #Polizeigesetz in Sachsen-Anhalt wurde heute vom Innenausschuss beschlossen. Es soll Analysen riesiger Datenmengen bei der Polizei erlauben. Sachverständige hatten den Entwurf wegen der Missachtung von Vorgaben aus Karlsruhe heftig kritisiert.….‘

‚Neun bis elf digitale Kameraaugen pro Wagen wachen über die Geschehnisse in den Bremer Stadtbahnen. Bis Ende 2026 soll in diese Kameras eine künstliche Intelligenz (KI) eingebaut werden, die potenzielle Gefahrensituationen wie aggressives Verhalten und Gewalttaten in Echtzeit erkennen können soll….‘

Claims that #AI can help fix #climate dismissed as #greenwashing
#Tech companies are conflating traditional artificial intelligence with generative AI when claiming the energy-hungry technology could help avert climate breakdown.
Most claims that AI can help avert climate breakdown refer to #machinelearning and not the energy-hungry chatbots and image generation tools driving the sector’s explosive growth of gas-guzzling #datacenters, the analysis of 154 statements found.

Many CEOs of the big tech companies are Indian origin: Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc. What happens if they move to India and lead successful tech companies there? We would have more healthy competition in this space instead of our total dependency on American techs.
Daily reminder about this amazing initiative: the Spark volunteers are STILL serving the community with shelter, electricity, internet—meaning freelancers can connect to remote jobs to feed their families, and students can continue studying!
