A world in which everything is a value transaction is the saddest world you could possibly imagine.

“You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find warm food
And friendly faces when you return home.
Consider if this is a man
Who works in mud,
Who knows no peace,
Who fights for a crust of bread,
Who dies by a yes or no.
Consider if this is a woman
Without hair, without name,
Without the strength to remember,
Empty are her eyes, cold her womb,
Like a frog in winter.
Never forget that this has happened.
[...]”
― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz

This is why I consider myself pseudonymous. Also, no doubt the NSA have been using AIs like this for a while. They aren’t supposed to spy domestically, but probably wouldn’t stop the FBI or other law enforcement agencies from using them. Sure would be nice if they used it for good like finding Jan 6 participants.
“Reporters Without Borders Rebecca Vincent speaking today about Julian Assange's court victory: "This is a positive step but not far enough... this case is historical and will be hugely precedent setting... Julian Assange should be immediately released @RSF_inter #FreeAssangeNOW https://t.co/SY0OleDXZM”
“BREAKING: The UK High Court will deliver its decision on Monday morning about whether to permit #Assange to appeal the US extradition decision to UK Supreme Court on points of law of general public importance. I'll be there to give a statement. Follow my account for more details.”
At least future generations will know that not all of us were self-destructive, shortsighted fools. Knowing folks like this exist gives me hope.

The EU should be a safe place for free speech.
Automated content removal limits our freedom of expression, and it does not work on a legal basis. The EU lawmakers must vote against #UploadFilters to protect free speech in the EU. #DSAForFreeSpeech https://t.co/3lpQ9sZcQ8
Israel police are using NSO’s Pegasus spyware on the country’s own citizens, including opponents of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. NSO had previously claimed that Pegasus would not be used within Israel.
The phone hacks are said to have been carried out without warrants and without any judicial oversight.
