It's feels surreal to me that Erin Brockovich is leading protests against data centers. Yes, that Erin Brockovich.
I'm so 'effin impressed by her work.
Listening to this Kara Swisher interview.

Kor måste föda en kalv för att mjölkproduktionen ska komma igång. Det är tillåtet att ta kalven från sin mamma omedelbart. På ekologiska gårdar är minsta tid tillsammans ett dygn. Sedan skiljs de åt så att människor får mjölken.
Lär man sig detta i skolan? Förvånansvärt få verkar känna till det.

"Wait, don't forget about me! I'm also an attention-seeking deluded pathological liar with a product to milk every ounce out of before it dries up."
It's like they're meme-ing each other 🤣

❤️ Tack. Skrivande = tänkande för mig 😊.
Refuting the idea that digital design must be human-centric has helped me manage my role and professional responsibility in a digital ecosystem. The pursuit of universal wellbeing is more rewarding, and invites conversations that I and my teams were not previously having.

Really looking forward to today's Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 where Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna will break down the reporting around the OpenAI agent that "broke free" to hack Hugging Face.

"How can anybody in their right mind notice the growing damage to universities and instead of stand against this, facilitate the destruction of expertise, of learning skills, and of academic integrity?"
Thank you for keeping it real @olivia.science 🙏

Good brief of different models of intelligence, why they fail or why ”AI” does not fit into them.

The backlash made Google pause the feature that made it easy, but it's of course still possible, and now put in everybody's heads.
It was so hard for Google to predict the harm. Asking experts is a struggle for tech companies 🤪

@faineg.bsky.social: I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

Läste just igår om hur vissa leverantörer av attefallshus har börjat leverera drönarhangarer till hjärtstartare. Intressanta utmaningar i det svenska klimatet.
Fantastiskt i kombination med SMS-livräddare.
Jag inbillar mig att trigger-ordet kan vara "AI".

Drönarhangar till hjärtstartare - Svenska Skalhus
Blev väldigt intressant för mig nu att Everdrone (leverantören av de autonoma drönarna för hjärtstartare) inte använder marknadsföringsbegreppet "AI" någonstans i sina texter eller pressmeddelanden (som jag hittat ännu).
Oerhört förtroendeingivande.

The Africa map debacle is a glimpse of a future with "AI".
Not knowing. Not caring.
The most unbelievably wrong map I have ever seen at an international, official event. A huge insult and embarassment.

I've been writing and speaking for many years now on how Africa's proportions are misrepresented on most world maps. This was not a direction I expected. 🧐

Enlightening and scary talk by Bruno Giussani. ’Why Big Tech is Incompatible with Democracy’.
”Every dependence can be turned into coercion and submission.”
Giussani also has many good recommendations for the path forward and increasing resilience.

Europe’s digital difference can be Technology that does not spy on you™
I also believe more and more in the idea of hardware built with the intent to block spying. I’m really rooting for the Jolla phone.

Reading is resistance. As ”AI” companies purchase and destroy books, it’s an apt time for people to start building little free libraries. Plans and blueprints here:
