„In meiner Welt haben wir Sex, wenn ich Sex will.“ Das soll der Ex-ORF-General zu einer Angestellten gesagt haben.
Der FALTER konnte Chats und Anrufprotokolle einsehen, die nahelegen, dass Roland Weißmann mutmaßlich jahrelang eine Angestellte belästigt haben soll: www.falter.at/zeitung/2026...

Pope Tweet: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

i feel this so hard. a realization i had about my career is that i'm basically trying to build towards a world where people build and use technology on their own terms, rather than get used by it.
user data ownership is a starting point, but it extends far beyond that.
Somehow social media policy always amounts to the platforms explicitly or implicitly getting shunted more power over our data instead of less. I guess it is part lobbying and part willful ignorance on the part of lawmakers

Aging pretty well, honestly. Probably going to age even better as time goes on.
I am still curious if getting rid of anything left of center has hurt their engagement engine in the long term.
Surfacing actual left wing opinions periodically surely would be much more algorithmically engaging to right wingers, than endless strawmen they have to make do with now.

Though OpenAI’s new policy doc is being taken seriously by some in the media, it's ultimately a "policymercial": a document that tells us far more about how the company wants people to think about OpenAI than what it wants us to do about OpenAI. My latest for @techpolicypress.bsky.social --
The moment of silence he won't get when it happens
Basically you have to understand that you’re here as a sort of parasite on someone else’s grift where they make vcs pay for their hobby. You’re black mold in the wall of an adult daycare. Embrace it but know it is transient.

Also noatter how this current AI/tech bubble develops, this is a good moment for laying the groundwork of a critique of Silicon valley technologism etc.
Many critiques of AI rn will still be relevant in different contexts, especially if they acknowledge how interconnected this is with wider issues

worker-owned businesses are more productive and resilient
There's a common misconception that worker-owned businesses are less productive and fail more often than traditional companies.

Auch Österreich geht den unnötigen Weg und will ein Social Media Verbot für unter 14jährige.
Nicht die Plattformen regulieren, nein, um Hmmels Willen! Besser Mechanismen einführen, die noch mehr Daten fressen.
