Dette må ikke være et selskap som staten i Norge samarbeider med

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Helt på nett - da norske tekpionerer skapte datahistorie - Res Publica Hilde Nagell  I en tid der kunstig intelligens og skjermer former tankene våre, tar forfatter Hilde Nagell leseren med tilbake til internettets barndom – da visjonære forskere, forfattere og gründere drømte om hva den nye datateknologien kunne bli. Historien begynner på Kjeller, der datamaskinen Lydia ble bygget i 1960-årene for å lytte etter russiske ubåter. Dette ble starten på en epoke der fremsynte nordmenn sto bak oppfinnelser som programmeringsspråket Simula, bidro til utviklingen av det som senere ble internett og etablerte bedrifter som Norsk Data. Under OL på Lillehammer i 1994 viste Norge vei også digitalt, da idrettsresultater for første gang ble publisert omtrent i sanntid for et globalt publikum. Samtidig førte utviklingen til nye spørsmål om opphavsrett, overvåking, personvern og demokrati. Helt på nett er en historie om teknologi, om pionerene som skapte den – og om hvordan Norge fikk et datamiljø i verdensklasse.

Vil du vite mer om hvordan internett kom til Norge? I sin nye bok «Helt på nett» skriver Hilde Nagell om de digitale pionerene i Kjeller og rundt om i landet (med noen henvisninger til vår tretti år lange historie hos EFN) respublica.no/produkter/he...

I'm a simple man. I see court proceedings against Palantir, I like

Hei #norge, har noen erfaringer med e/OS (fra Murena) kanskje på Fairphone 6? Jeg vil bytte men er usikker om BankID og Vipps funker bra.

"Imagine if the situation resolves itself somehow"

An absolutely infuriating glimpse into the complete ignorance of Trump officials deciding to cut aid leading to millions of deaths

Hva skjer når KI-bobla sprekker? Et nytt notat fra Attac Norge tar for seg KI-bobla og hva som kan skje når den sprekker.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him.

Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system.

A 16-year chapter is over.

Saying "Why do we need humanities if we have LLMs?" is the same as saying "Why do we need math studies if we have calculators?"

If you see this I implore you to quote skeet with an unusual image from your posting device without explanation.

Still definitely use alt text, though.

But wouldn't you say that a part of the imbalance is that the capabilities of the discovery are widely overestimated or misrepresented? We have to counter that. That could be seen as suppressing the discovery, while it really is just *realisticly* estimating what an impact the discovery might have

Ich verstehe, warum ihr das so framed. Ich finde es nur traurig, dass wir in einer Gesellschaft leben, wo wir Positionen gegen Vergewaltigung und sexuelle Übergriffe mit Fachkräftemangel begründen müssen, um gehört zu werden

Feeling more and more like imagination surrender is a crucial part of the cognitive surrender facilitated by GenAI. Like, why not just have your students write stories featuring their favorite creatures, characters, and people? A wild thought, I know!

It is with great regret I must inform you that Nicolai Tangen ikke har tatt påskeferie. 😑 www.nettavisen.no/okonomi/nico...

Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.

It's a typical pattern, @einarwilly.bsky.social prob knows why

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

“Someone decided to compress the kill chain. Someone decided that deliberation was latency. Someone decided to build a system that produces 1,000 targeting decisions an hour and call them high-quality. Calling it an “AI problem” gives those decisions, and those people, a place to hide.”

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

Errors present in 45% of AI generated reports of news stories 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

To produce as many #Omnibus packages as possible, as fast as possible, the EU Commission is bypassing public consultations

Instead it's using new forms of 'targeted consultations' (Implementation Dialogues & Reality Checks) which function as a transmission belt for corporate #deregulation demands 🤯

This is simultaneously unsurprising, delightful and infuriating in its haplessness

No privileged US access to Europe’s tech law oversight.

We call on the European Commission to halt plans for a new “dialogue” with the US that could weaken enforcement of EU tech laws. Cooperation must not come at the expense of rule of law and sovereignty.

Pure ragebait

People need to understand that it is a good thing if Trump threatens to leave NATO and says the US will not fight for Europe. The truth was the alliance was dead the moment he became president again. The US under him would never fight to defend Europe from Russia. Pretending otherwise was dangerous.
