"The [London, UK] Metropolitan Police has been blocked from signing a contract worth up to £50m with the US technology firm Palantir, after London's deputy mayor refused to approve the deal...

...It also cited concerns around the firm's values and ethics, although legally this cannot influence a deal refusal."

Good. Palantir can get directly in the bin.

This is so hard to watch.
We should be happy to shop more? What is this blatant consumerism? I
Every bit is so dystopian. AI organises everything for you so you can spend your time shopping. All so synthetic.
It feels like humans hooked on the feeding tubes on the biofarms from the Matrix

This Google IO is dystopian af. Google not only want to answer your questions but to ask them instead of you. Who asked for this slop?

Google at IO is wanking for token maxing, how many tokens they processed.
That doesn't tell a damn thing. What does it mean? I can burn lot of tokens by running the model in circles. Which - btw - it does on its own.

LOVE this article from my man @zackwhittaker:

“Age verification laws are a lazy way for politicians and governments to appear as if they are tackling online child safety, but without any forethought to the future consequences of amassing vast banks of personal information for verifying people's identities. Rather than holding the ultra-wealthy tech and social media giants accountable for their actions, cowardly and toothless governments are instead requiring ordinary people to shoulder the legal burden. These are the same tech companies that don't pay any tax, all the while governments let them get away with it.”

Papers, please: Age verification laws threaten everyone's online security and privacy

Laws that require adults to upload their driver's licenses or passports to access apps, websites, and VPNs will make the entire web less safe.
