Malus, which is a piece of satire but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell software without crediting the original developers.

Hallitus esitti passirekisterin biometristen tietojen avaamista poliisille. Perustuslaillinen valvonta esti sen. Toistaiseksi. Ja oikeutetusti.

Julkisoikeuden professori Tomi Voutilainen antoi lausunnon perustuslakivaliokunnan kuulemisessa ja tiivisti rakenteellisen ongelman hyvin. Kun rekisterille sallitaan toissijaisia käyttötarkoituksia, ne muuttuvat asteittain ensisijaisiksi.

With talk of closer EU alignment, the UK is signalling to Europe that it’s a partner worthy of trust

Ranskan oikeuslaitos syyttää Muskin X-yhtiötä laittomuuksista. Syytökset mm:
- alaikäisiä esittävien kuvien hallussapito ja levitys
- X:n tekoälymalli Grokin seksuaalissävytteisten deepfake-kuvamanipulaatoiden luominen ilman uhrien suostumusta
- vihapuheen sekä holokaustin kieltävän sisällön levittäminen
- laiton tiedonkeräys.

AI-firma xAI fuusioitiin SpaceX:ään helmikuussa ja X Corp = xAI, joten on aika selvää, että X:n tarkoitus on enää lähinnä kouluttaa Grokia.

Funny how we're all going to be "left behind" because of "inevitable" slop generators…  

…but somehow nobody is making the same claims about how those who insist on sticking to fossil fuels are already getting left behind by renewables.

Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.

"The price of new battery electric cars has fallen below petrol cars in the UK for the first time, according to the car sales website Autotrader, in a significant milestone in Britain’s transition away from fossil fuels."

“They’ve long been cheaper to run, and now they’re cheaper to buy, too. Add in growing competition and more choice, and it’s clear the direction of travel: electric is the obvious option for drivers.”

#Eurovision matters

Leading figures including Paul Weller, Primal Scream, Paloma Faith, Kneecap and former Eurovision winners Emmelie de Forest and Charlie McGettigan are among more than 1,000 musicians supporting the boycott of Eurovision. In an open letter published today by No Music for Genocide, the signatories say the contest will “whitewash and normalise Israel’s genocide, siege and brutal military occupation against Palestinians.”
