テレビドラマが映画化されてAmazonプライムで独占配信ってそれは映画なのか?って思ったけど、映画館で上映されないものでも映画の形式で制作されたものが映画って思い直さないといけなさそうね

RE: infosec.exchange/@adfichter/11

Válka vedená technologickou autoritářskou oligarchií proti médiím dosáhla nové úrovně:

nás žaluje. Nás, časopis Republik.

Malá švýcarská mediální společnost, financovaná čtenáři, založená v roce 2018 a bez reklamy. Neznám žádnou jinou mediální společnost na světě, na kterou by se Palantir v současné době zaměřoval tak agresivně.

O co jde? Společně s mými skvělými kolegy z výzkumného kolektivu WAV Jenny Steiner, Lorenzem Naegelim, Marguerite Meyer a Balzem Oertlim jsme 8. a 9. prosince zveřejnili dvoudílnou sérii o aktivitách společnosti Palantir ve Švýcarsku.

Díky rozsáhlému souboru dokumentů, které jsme získali na základě zákona o svobodném přístupu k informacím, se nám podařilo vysledovat prodejní kampaň v období sedmi let. Palantir se pokusil navázat spolupráci s mnoha federálními úřady, ale všude byl odmítnut.

Zjistili jsme také, že švýcarský armádní štáb software vyhodnotil a dospěl k závěru, že armáda by měla od používání produktů Palantir upustit.

Mezi jinými riziky se obávali, že data budou předána americkým úřadům.

Palantir není jen tak nějaká společnost. ICE používá její produkty k pronásledování migrantů v USA. Izraelská armáda IDF používá tento software při své ofenzivě v Gaze. Britský zdravotní úřad NHS se během pandemie stal závislým na těchto produktech pro analýzu dat. A generální ředitel se vůči Evropě vyjadřuje nelidsky a agresivně, zatímco samotná společnost inzeruje „optimalizaci zabíjecího řetězce“.

To vše jsou fakta, která byla opakovaně ověřena a zveřejněna renomovanými médii. Naše výzkumy týkající se Švýcarska a Curychu jsou založeny právě na nich.

Kromě analýzy dokumentů jsme také hovořili s různými zdroji – včetně vedoucích pracovníků společnosti Palantir zde v Curychu. Použité citáty jim byly předloženy a schváleny. Samozřejmě jsme vždy dodržovali vysoké standardy novinářské práce. Před publikací jsme provedli důkladnou kontrolu faktů.

Společnost však nechce, abychom psali pravdu. ->

高市早苗選前對食品類消費稅歸零兩年的政策很多人質疑那財源要從哪裡補。
她提出了一個讓我非常希望台灣也跟進的法案。「對宗教法人課稅」日本的宗教法人有很高的免稅額,一旦這個免稅一旦解除,預估有五兆日圓左右的額度能入庫。
宗教產業日本、台灣都是很大的黑洞,同時也是金流上的很大的灰色地帶。
中國的侵略(統戰)策略裡宗教是一個很重要的部份,透過宗教信仰很容易養成盲從的人,中國國內對宗教信仰嚴控,對國外卻也利用宗教體系去攪亂對手,課稅這件事情不是單純的收錢,而是得先明確金流,一旦金流明確化外國勢力的介入就容易警戒。

高市早苗這個政策同時對稅收跟國安有正面的意義。我非常希望台灣也跟進。

但,如同這新聞標題寫的,在日本這是一個禁忌,這灰色地帶的金流對政治人物也很方便,高市早苗在勝選後的第一波新政策就投出這個震撼彈,大概是要趁著氣勢最強、黨內反高市派系還不能大聲的時候一口氣把這個國內的大問題解決,坦白說這政策可預期的政治人物的反彈會非常大,就算在這時機也不知道自民黨內會不會有人反彈到脫黨的震撼彈。期待高市早苗會成功推進,也希望有她的先例在台灣也跟進

그 와중에 트위터의 실버버그들은 실버 차트에 아크를 가져왔습니다. 아크가 무엇이냐? 지난 수년간 실버버그들이 "실버 붐은 온닷!" 하면서 차트에 선그으며 놀던 놀이중 하나로, 초장기간의 가격상승 부진을 벗어나 떡상하길 바라는 구복신앙적 요소를 가지고 있습니다. 아크가 등장했다는건, 이제 슬슬 그들도 쫄린다는 뜻이며 언젠가 다시 올 초장기간 하락에 마음을 다잡는 과정에 들어갔다는걸 의미합니다.

오늘 하락폭은 미국 고용지표에 따른 금리인하 연기 가능성에 무게가 실리면서, 또, 테크주들이 와르르 무너지는 것이 반영된게 아닌가 싶고요. 그런데 테크주는 그 와중에 무너지는게 거품이 아니라 AI가 테크기업 일자리를 차지할지 모른다는 전망으로 포장되고 있던데, 솔직해지죠. 그럴거면 AI주는 계속 상승해야죠? 안그래요? 그것과 별개로 마이클 버리가 팔란티어에 10억달러 수준의 숏포지션을 잡은 뒤에 팔란티어 주가는 주르륵 흐르고 있으며...(속이 다 시원함)

If you're interested in funding or helping us find funding for a Discord replacement that's federated and end-to-end encrypted, we're interested in implementing that at @spritelyThe Spritely Institute ... we even had been talking about that being our big focus for 2026.

We have the skills and the underlying tech to pull this off. What we need right now is resources. Funding for open source nonprofits like ours really fell apart in 2025. If you think you know how to help, feel free to reach out.

I do not predict "the future of AI" because while I can confidently say that whatever the "current generation of LLM technology" is, it's nearing its limit, that does NOT mean that I can predict what innovations will move us past that generation. Truly disruptive tech is always a surprise.

Seeing people criticizing Gary Gygax (or any of the pioneering creators) for the 1st edition AD&D (or any early edition) rules' inconsistencies and perceived issues is like seeing someone complain about the original Star Wars film using models instead of computers for its special effects.

They were creating shit that didn't exist before. They had to make it up as they went. Everything that came after built on their blood, sweat, and tears. Show some respect.

The early Web had a quality that has been lost ever since: it was *simple*

Download , write some by hand and boom, the concept of a networked digital society is born.

It first started going pear shaped with . The complexity of a full blown database was not justified for most use cases. As proven decades later by the popularity of and approaches.

The final blow was when got into the act. Immense complexity for the simplest things became a moat

Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.

Image of fire brigade near our officeGlean answer:

In building ... today’s siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave
your workplace while it's running.

If you're unsure or something seems off (e.g. smoke, smell, people evacuating), call Munich building emergency number ... or ask at reception immediately.

I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.

Like it or not, ableism is here… like it or not, racism is here… like it or not, fascism is here.

No, fuck that, I will resist. I will speak out. I will fight back.

You do not have to roll over and accept the shit corporations and the existing power structure try to force upon you.

We can build a better world.

Sadhi Luokomaa 曾經遇到過一些情況,人們期待被收養者對自己能夠來到芬蘭心懷感激。這種期待在關於移民的討論中也同樣存在。

//這段話精準還原了我這些年的經歷和心路,也許不只是我:

“第一個問題總是:你從哪裡來?年輕的時候我總是會回答,但現在長大成人後,我學會了劃清界線。我沒有義務向所有人講述自己的故事。” Luokomaa 如此描述。

This is supposedly what is causing trucking broker stocks to crash today:

"""
Thursday’s rout was sparked by an update from tiny AI logistics firm Algorhythm Holdings Inc., which said its SemiCab platform in live customer deployments was helping its customers’ internal operations to scale freight volumes by 300% to 400% without a corresponding increase in operational headcount. Shares of the company soared 12%.

Algorhythm, which had a market capitalization of less than $5 million before Thursday, previously operated as The Singing Machine Company, Inc. — selling karaoke products — until rebranding in 2024 as an AI logistics firm. The company reported less than $2 million in sales for the quarter ended September 30, with a net loss totaling nearly $3 million for the period.

Another interesting factor of resistance to ICE in Minnesota is that it does actually change what it means to people to be "Minnesotan" in a way that I hope will inspire & encourage people there.

Sure, Minnesotans like to think of themselves as good neighbors. The idea of being a "good neighbor" is highly valued.

But I think Minnesotans have redefined "neighborliness" for themselves in recent months.

Rust workspace has three crates A, B and C. Then there's a crate COMMON-AB which contains the shared code used by both A and B and a crate COMMON-BC which uses the shared code used by both B and C. Yeesh.

Okay, here's my followup. What did I mean by "build a replacement for Discord"? That's shorthand, because to be honest, Discord is *a lot of things* because it has a lot of resources behind it. And of course, people have their own preferred directions, especially in XMPP and Matrix, and I think those efforts are worthwhile. But I'm talking about some near-future threats-and-opportunities, so let me explain what we want to, and ought to, build.

So I will detail in this thread, and yes, this will be a Classic Christine Thread (TM), what I mean. The things we would *like* to do, at a high level:

- Get "moderated chatroom with no center" tech in the hands of users
- Which also includes direct file sharing
- Advance Spritely's core tech in the process. There's nothing like a real world use case with real users to push forward your system
- Advancing that tooling also means opening up some things that you can't do anywhere else

What does that mean? Read on! Let's go!

Increasingly, we are seeing regulation and policies being driven by a coalition of two groups with differing goals: people with I will say, bad intentions to crack down on speech and communication between at risk groups, especially non-white and queer people. Who are, weirdly, teaming up with well meaning people who are upset at big tech for allowing terrible things to happen especially as engagement-oriented feeds have lead to radicalization of hate and other such things. And both of them are saying, "let's punish big tech!" Which like, great, I'm all for punishing big tech. Except...

If you use AI-generated code, you currently cannot claim copyright on it in the US. If you fail to disclose/disclaim exactly which parts were not written by a human, you forfeit your copyright claim on *the entire codebase*.

This means copyright notices and even licenses folks are putting on their vibe-coded GitHub repos are unenforceable. The AI-generated code, and possibly the whole project, becomes public domain.

Source: congress.gov/crs_external_prod

Excerpt from the linked document. It reads "The AI Guidance states that authors may claim copyright protection only “for their own contributions” to such works, and they must identify and disclaim AI-generated parts of the works"Excert from the linked document:

Three copyright registration denials highlighted by the Copyright Office illustrate that, in general, the office will not find human authorship where an AI program generates works in response to user prompts:

1. Zarya of the Dawn: A February 2023 decision that AI-generated illustrations for a graphic novel were not copyrightable, although the human-authored text of the novel and overall selection and arrangement of the images and text in the novel could be copyrighted.

2. Théâtre D’opéra Spatial: A September 2023 decision that an artwork generated by AI and then modified by the applicant could not be copyrighted, since the applicant failed to identify and disclaim the AI-generated portions of the work as required by the AI Guidance.

3. SURYAST: A December 2023 decision that an artwork generated by an AI system combining a “base image” (an original photo taken by the applicant) and a “style image” the applicant selected (Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night) could not be copyrighted, since the AI system was “responsible for determining how to interpolate [i.e., combine] the base and style images.”
