I'm sure we've all heard but the situation regarding #informationgathering, #privacy, and #Discord is somehow worse than we thought.

If I genuinely believed I was 18 months away from superintelligence that could solve cancer, I would probably not be pivoting to horny chatbots, but that's just me (a person with priorities)

Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. https://www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-tool-that-tracks-locations-of-hundreds-of-millions-of-phones-every-day/

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

"Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

The belief that violence may be the answer has grown among Republicans and independents – up 3 and 7 percentage points, respectively, since April last year. But the largest increase has been among Democrats. Now 28% of Democrats share that view, up 16 points. "

Whew! Careful out there today.

There's a lot of people in my timeline boosting and posting misinformation (and disinformation).

(eg that McAfee *unwittingly* posted an AI image of a woman with three hands - even though that was the *point* of the ad campaign... selling AI detection.

or that Madonna has rejected a $500 million dollar deal from Elon Musk)

Everyone can fall for misinfo. If you read a claim - ESPECIALLY IF YOU AGREE WITH IT OR GET JOY FROM IT - please verify it before you post or boost it.

Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.

(and unboost or delete the post if you later find it to be fake)

Posting this as a personal reminder. I make mistakes too and have accidentally boosted false info in the past. Bonus points for anyone who sends this post back to me in the future when I make that mistake again 😅
