          "Google is bringing its age assurance technology — which uses artificial intelligence to detect underage users — to Canada.

          “Our age estimation model uses machine learning to interpret a variety of signals already associated with a user’s account, such as the types of information a user has searched for or the categories of videos they’ve watched on YouTube,” the company said in a blog post Monday.

          The company says that if the technology identifies someone as underage, their Google account will be changed to include additional protections, such as safeguards on content recommendations.

          If it mistakenly identifies an adult as being under 18, the company says that person will be able to prove their age using things like a government ID or a selfie.

          “In the coming days, we’ll begin to gradually roll out this technology in Canada, carefully monitoring progress as we expand its availability,” Jeanette Patell, director of government affairs and public policy at Google Canada, said in the post.

          She said the company won’t be collecting any new information that isn’t already associated with the user’s account."

                    BTW
                    Trump has often said his favorite USA era is THE GUILDED AGE. he, of course, uses the term unironically; refusing to understand the term as derogatory. which is why he went about gilding every nook and cranny in The White House
                    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gild

                    so it’s no surprise that the same man who doesn’t understand what guilded means, thinks SUPER INTELLIGENCE is what we should be calling the Artificial Intelligence grift.

                    is incarnate.

LouisXVI is for whom the guillotine was invented.

While Secretary-General Guterres warned leaders of the existential threats posed by AI, U.S. President Trump denounced fears surrounding the technology and rebranded it "super intelligence." One expert argues there shouldn't be sides when it comes to AI.

                                                                        Either way, an agent that shops for you needs access to your accounts, a new place your logins and purchase data can flow.

Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                                                                                                                                            The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

But it’s also a good case study about how little political resilience is built into FLOSS. The libertarian roots have not only made the whole movement ready for the taking by corporations but also by fascists.

                                                                                                                                            And sadly many influential organizations in that space are not up to the task of putting their foot down.

You might have picked up on me mentioning that today’s vision of the future is just a thinner iPad every few months.

                                                                                                                                            But if “progress” – which is a political term about values that one aims to manifest or express or expand in the world – is just replaced with following PR messages about whatever tech wants to sell next, that does not only make the space of possible futures paperthin, it also puts massive amounts of power into tech’s hands.

                                                                                                                                            And I don’t just mean economic and political power (which is also true and needs to change massively, rapidly and aggressively). In this context I mean narrative power.

As the author notes machine learning etc. has been around for decades. Still, modern “AI” is intentionally labor weakening fascist techshit based on theft and created by and for techbros. But perfection is not possible and this shit is unavoidable, so keep it as local and open source as possible and minimize your use of LLMs. Avoid LLM-built tools as best you can. The environment is already fucked.

Self-hosted or Go To Social are better bets. Maybe even a Mastodon account. 😱

                                                                                                                                            Decidm is a quasi implementation of both the Open Media Network and Techno Anarchism but from a more formal governing practice. It is a democratic tool for participatory democracies like a city, NGO, or a collective.

                                                                                                                                            You can learn more about Decidm here.

It doesn’t require new AI-generated code to carry someone else’s attribution. 1/2
