Techbedrijven deelden namen Nederlandse ambtenaren met VS: 'Ontzettend zorgelijk'

Het gaat om ambtenaren die betrokken zijn bij de handhaving van Europese regels om techplatforms te reguleren. De Amerikaanse overheid ziet die regels als censuur.

Addictions, dépression, automutilation : Meta paie pour éviter le procès qui aurait tout changé

Meta a choisi le chèque plutôt que le tribunal. Le géant des réseaux sociaux vient de passer un accord avec un district scolaire du Kentucky, évitant un procès sur la santé mentale des jeunes qui aurait pu faire jurisprudence contre toute l'industrie.

So being the nerd that I am
I began looking into how to set up local AI and discovered llama — only to learn in horror the *cough* “open source” model has already been devoured by Meta — “Meta's decision to abandon open-source AI and build Muse Spark as a proprietary model is one of the most consequential strategic shifts in the AI industry to date. It marks the end of an era where the most powerful AI models were freely available for anyone to build on, study, and deploy. It consolidates the frontier of AI development within a closed circle of corporate players. And it reshapes the relationship between three billion users, millions of creators, and the AI systems that increasingly mediate how they discover, create, and transact.”

Meta Ended Llama and Built Muse Spark (Why That Changes Everything)

Meta abandoned its open-source AI commitment and launched the proprietary Muse Spark model. Here is why it happened, what it means for creators, businesses, and developers, and how to adapt.

Meta's reaction to people recommending Pixelfed as an alternative is marking the links as spam and deleting them.

Times of India | Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's goodbye message to 8,000 fired employees also has two promises for the 70,000 who survived layoffs

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Meta’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, emailed roughly 78 000 employees on May 20 to announce the company’s latest round of layoffs, which will affect about 8 000 staff (≈10 % of the workforce) and eliminate around 6 000 open positions. In the memo he thanked those departing, promised that there will be no further company‑wide layoffs this year, and admitted that Meta’s internal communication had been poor and must improve. Affected U.S. workers will receive 16 weeks of severance plus two weeks per year of service and 18 months of COBRA health coverage, while 7 000 employees are being reassigned to new AI projects as Meta ramps up a $125‑$145 billion AI spend. The cuts have left morale low, with employees filing petitions against invasive monitoring for AI training, posting “salad” emojis as a covert salute, and creating internal “draft” teams that absorb about 2 000 staff under the new Applied AI and Engineering unit. Zuckerberg closed the note by emphasizing AI’s importance and the uncertainty ahead, while the promises of stability and better communication aim to reassure the remaining 70 000 workers.
