🇪🇺📢 As #ChatControl will hopefully end, a new study proves mass scanning tech is flawed & easily evaded. 🔬

To truly protect kids now, we must shift from broken algorithms to targeted police work 🕵️‍♂️ and strict #SecurityByDesign 🛡️.

End of "Chat Control": Paving the Way for Genuine Child Protection!

The controversial mass surveillance of private messages in Europe could soon come to an end. Negotiations between the European Parliament and EU member states regarding the extension of the so-called "Chat Control" concluded yesterday without an agreement. This means that starting April 4, US tech g

Two things:
1. If we’re sinking Iranian ships in the open ocean using submarines, this is an offensive war, and the President needs to declare war and go to Congress.
2. If you sink a ship with a torpedo, and there are no other threats around, you are obligated to search for, and rescue, survivors. The US Navy needs to stop being complicit in Hegseth’s war crime spree.

Every AI company knows they're building the wrong thing.

And they can't stop.

Because the competitive structure specifically punishes anyone who slows down long enough to build the right thing.

The race is real. The destination is fake.

Everyone in AI is building the wrong thing for the same reason

Every AI founder I talk to is on an accelerating treadmill, burdened by a nagging suspicion that the entire industry is moving too fast in a direction that doesn't quite make sense, with no idea about how to get off. There is an overwhelming feeling that if everyone stopped and

Whatever the output gains promised by LLMs, their initial productivity surge is erased over time, and replaced by heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.”

All this from research out of the notoriously pro-worker rag [checks notes] Harvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2026/02/ai-doesnt-reduce-work-it-intensifies-it

La IA no reduce el trabajo, lo intensifica

Una de las promesas de la IA es que puede reducir la carga de trabajo para que los empleados puedan centrarse más en tareas de mayor valor y más interesantes. Pero según una nueva investigación, las herramientas de IA no reducen el trabajo, sino que lo intensifican constantemente: en el estudio, los empleados trabajaban a un ritmo más rápido, asumían un mayor número de tareas y ampliaban su jornada laboral, a menudo sin que se les pidiera. Puede parecer una ventaja, pero no es tan sencillo. Estos cambios pueden ser insostenibles y provocar un aumento de la carga de trabajo, fatiga cognitiva, agotamiento y un debilitamiento de la capacidad de toma de decisiones. El aumento de la productividad que se disfruta al principio puede dar paso a un trabajo de menor calidad, a la rotación de personal y a otros problemas. Para corregir esto, las empresas deben adoptar una «práctica de IA», es decir, un conjunto de normas y estándares en torno al uso de la IA que pueden incluir pausas intencionadas, secuenciar el trabajo y añadir más base humana.
