Don’t Believe the AI Hype

If you listen to tech industry leaders, business-sector forecasters, and much of the media, you may believe that recent advances in generative AI will soon bring extraordinary productivity benefits, revolutionizing life as we know it. Yet neither economic theory nor the data support such exuberant forecasts.

AI is Dehumanization Technology
A call to reject the deployment and use of AI systems. Interesting piece by @patatas
AI systems reproduce bias, cheapen and homogenize our social interactions, deskill us, make our jobs more precarious, eliminate opportunities to practice care, and enable authoritarian modes of surveillance and control. Deployed in the public sector, they undercut workers' ability to meaningfully grapple with problems and make ethical decisions that move our society forward. These technologies dehumanize all of us. Collectively, we can choose to reject them.

Trump taps Palantir to possibly stitch together federal databases—think bank records, disability claims, student debt, immigration files…

Here's one of the American mercenaries - sorry, humanitarian aid workers - waving to thousands of starving Palestinians behind barbed wire, shortly before they totally fucked up the food delivery, causing the Palestinians to storm the facility in desperation, at which point an Israeli helicopter started shooting at them.
Don't worry though, the Israelis sent a rescue helicopter for the Americans.
Una denuncia clamorosa quella che #PotereAlPopolo, il partito di estrema sinistra che da molti anni partecipa alle elezioni politiche ed amministrative, ha affidato a #Fanpage.it.
Come spiega il portavoce nazionale, Giuliano Granato, per 10 mesi il partito sarebbe stato infiltrato e spiato dalla polizia.
Una volta scoperto, il presunto agente sotto copertura non avrebbe battuto ciglio, allontanandosi ed augurando "Buona giornata" agli attivisti di #Pap.
