🇪🇺🏳️🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

The idea of prohibiting LLMs in many different situations is one of the most important. Setting norms.
So, yes, when suggesting a ban on phones or social media for kids, you should be thinking exactly about the extreme examples who might *need* both. You should be considering them *before* considering the mainstream.
An AI-free OS for an AI-free product line with a written guarantee from Apple not to insert AI into users’ devices at a later date.
You’re saying the Amazon rocket dumped the package in a stupid spot?
Next you’ll be telling us that they used a totally inappropriately-sized box.
This will put the credibility of the @ec.europa.eu (and @eppgroup.bsky.social) to the test. The rule of law should prevail, not (party) politics. (PS: this demonstrates that enforcement should not be in the hands of the @ec.europa.eu college)
“we learned the lawyers from the other side write the judge’s filings, write her rulings. so i guess… starting to think it’s a set deal.”
i think he’s referring to the extremely normal practice of the judge asking one of the attorneys to prepare a draft of the proposed order lmao
Oh, the irony of racists basing their claims about ignorance and intelligence on IQ, and failing to understand why IQ is not an accurate means of assessing intelligence, probably because they don’t read.
I am forever saying that if refusal isn't a live option in any decision making process about "AI", then no ethical practice is possible. You've got to be able to stop if the thing is unacceptable.
Hohum... look what's going on north of the border www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...
Someone is having their "are we the baddies" moment...
The European Commission literally copy-pasted Microsoft's proposed confidentiality clause word-for-word into EU law, blocking public access to data centre environmental impact data. Legal experts say it violates the Aarhus Convention on environmental transparency.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
So when AI has replaced all the junior software coders of the world and the senior ones retire, who will be left to “fix” an AI when it runs amok? I feel like that needs to be addressed before we just let AI program itself.
At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software
We've got to stop thinking fascism is dark magic, like it's evil but it works, so decent people must agree not to use it. It doesn't work. Every fascist society ever has contained the seeds of its own destruction. We oppose it not because it works, but because too many people suffer while it fails
Palantir is batshit fascist. This is a techno-serial killer’s manifesto.
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman reminding everyone that the damage AI use does to your brain is a feature, not a bug: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter".
Internet in Australia is rapidly becoming unusable without a VPN due to age verification. You need to verify your age to use some weather and calculator apps now. Scam apps and phishing sites are starting to realise they can just ask for your ID straight up and people will give it up. Insane shit.
“…Irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years”
“Irreversible”.
This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.
And then mess them up by serving a garlic foccaccia.
I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...
EU’s energy crisis response is broader than expected: remote work mandates, heat pump subsidies, EV leasing schemes — plus electrification targets and new laws to tax electricity below fossil fuels.

Photo shows a heap of older style phones with the text “Planned obsolescence is now outlawed in France. It is a crime to intentionally reduce the lifespan of a product to force customers to replace it.”
Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310
I saw Akira in the cinema last night. Made in 1988, there almost no digital effects. Nearly every aspect of it is hand-drawn, hand-painted. I am in awe of what digital effects can do now, but with all the AI slop around, there was a joy in seeing those extraordinary paintings and drawings onscreen.
