Satya Nadella wants us to stop saying “AI slop.” Jensen Huang is begging us to stop saying “hurtful” things about AI.

Dislike AI? Distrust Big Tech? Keep speaking out. The CEOs of the biggest companies in the world wouldn’t be trying so hard to change the narrative if it didn’t matter.

It breaks my heart 💔 that we 🇪🇺 are actively driving traffic and profits 💶 to X which is undermining our democracies.

If you feel the same, you can contact ✉️ president von der Leyen via commission.europa.eu/about/org

Every small action counts. (See thoughts here: mastodon.social/@leanderlindah)

We must explain that supporting this hostile foreign entity and circumventing a democratic open dialogue, has a cost in loss of reputation and trust with the public.

@EUCommissionEuropean Commission @HennaVirkkunen

Contact form form for President von der Leyen on the EU commission web site . The message in the form says:
Dear Mrs von der Leyen, 

X is a network owned by foreign oligarchs that don't share our democratic values and undermines our democracies.

Please don't provide them with free advertising, traffic, engagement and revenue. Don't feed the monster.

Stop posting your statements on X. Please inquire with the Directorate General to remove the logotypes and links that affords X with free advertising on "our" European Commission web site. It breaks my heart to see us actively supporting them with traffic and revenue.

Just because X is not banned it doesn't mean that you have an obligation to use it and promote it. 

Stop feeding the monster.

Leander Lindahl, 
Lund Sweden

Only over my dead rack:

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once told an audience that he views local PC hardware the same way he views a 100-year-old electric generator he saw in a brewery museum -- as a relic of a pre-grid era, destined to be replaced by centralized utilities that users simply rent rather than own.

「BandcampはAI音楽に反対し、プラットフォームからそれを禁止する立場を取った。 」:

「音楽配信プラットフォーム 「Bandcamp」 は火曜日のRedditへの投稿で、AI生成の音楽と音声を禁止すると発表した。

「ミュージシャンには音楽を作り続けてほしいし、ファンにはバンドキャンプで見つけた音楽が人間によって作られたものだと自信を持ってほしい」と同社は述べた。

Bandcampの新しいガイドラインでは、「AIによって全部または大部分が」生成された音楽や音声は許可されず、他のアーティストやスタイルを偽装するためのAIツールの使用も許可されないと規定されている。

だから、もしドレイクが 「Taylor Made Freestyle」を Bandcampでリリースしていたら、問題を抱えていただろう(そしてそれは 彼自身の利益に なったかもしれない)。 」

Freiburger Journalist muss sich vor Gericht verantworten

"Es soll der erste von bis zu neun Prozesstagen sein.

Am heutigen Donnerstagmorgen muss sich der Radio-Journalist Fabian Kienert vom freien Sender Radio Dreyeckland vor dem Landgericht Karlsruhe verantworten. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, eine verbotene Vereinigung unterstützt zu haben, und zwar mit der Verlinkung auf die Seite linksunten.indymedia.org in einem Nachrichtenartikel. Bei einem „Verstoß gegen das Vereinigungsverbot“ sieht das Strafgesetzbuch eine Freiheitsstrafe bis zu fünf Jahren oder eine Geldstrafe vor.

Indymedia Linksunten war eine der wichtigsten Anlaufstellen für die linke und linksradikale Szene in Deutschland. 2017 ist der Betrieb der Seite durch den damaligen Bundesinnenminister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) verboten worden. Schon damals kritisierte etwa die Organisation „Reporter ohne Grenzen“ das Verbot als „rechtsstaatlich fragwürdig“. Denn das Verbot wurde mit dem Vereinsrecht begründet; Linksunten Indymedia kurzerhand als „Vereinigung“ deklariert..."

Endgültiger Punktsieg zu

Gericht urteilt zu jahrelanger Repression in Freiburg

‚Gegen die Fünf habe es keinen ausreichenden Verdacht gegeben, dass sie eine verbotene Vereinigung fortgesetzt haben, heißt es in dem Beschluss. Zudem seien die eingeleiteten Maßnahmen »nicht verhältnismäßig« gewesen.
Verantwortlich für die übertriebene Repression war der baden-württembergische Staatsanwalt Manuel Graulich…..‘

People in the U.S. went from “I don’t wear a mask and won’t get vaccinated because the state can’t force me” to “If you don’t have your papers on you, it’s your own fault if you get killed”.
