We seem to be caught in a cycle where people create technologies that evolve into political manipulation machines (in part due to design choices), and then get boxed in (by the manipulators) to those designs, because to even talk about addressing the issues is framed as “bias” and “censorship”.

And also the AfD youth organisation "Junge Alternative für Deutschland" is categorized as "verified extremist"

Adobe is selling fake AI images of the war in Israel-Gaza. Some online publications have used a photorealistic image of a missile attack without marking it as fake. This is an(other) example of irresponsible use of IA (via @socialmedialab.ca)

Why? Because academics are f**king obsessed with measuring their worth. Obsessed. Google Scholar is two guys in a basement working on this in their free time. It was never meant to be a measurement device. But WE made it a measurement device, invoking its results over and over and over in our files

2/6 The TCO Regulation requires HSPs of ALL sizes to *remove terrorist content within 1 hour* upon an official order. Given the connected nature of the internet, even HSPs outside the EU are affected by the TCO Regulation.

i keep repeating this & i'm glad it's gaining more traction. this is fundamental to bluesky and how federated systems work. they've opted for a technical commitment that sacrifices privacy and safety. this disparately affects vulnerable populations. we need some place better.

„As I told The Post, “It’s clear to me that researchers and their institutions won’t be deterred by conspiracy theorists and those seeking to smear and silence this line of research for entirely political reasons.” ❗️Support from our institutions is critical to continuing this line of research.“ ❗️
