Those sparkle emojis ✨ in AI apps aren't just decoration. They're part of a broader design language that encourages us to see software as more human, capable, and autonomous than it really is.
Policy researcher Caroline De Cock joins Glyn Moody to unpack how anthropomorphic design shapes public perceptions of AI in AI TOOLS, NOT GODS on the Future Knowledge #podcast.

Nonetheless, the appearance of ‘device attestation’ in Firefox’s mobile codebase has raised eyebrows in the #FOSS #community, including from #mobile projects based on the #Android Open Source Project (AOSP) codebase, like #LineageOS and #GrapheneOS, which omit Play services.Given that Firefox’s entire USP on Android is that it’s an open-source, privacy-respecting alternative for those avoiding #Google (and open-source, privacy-conscious users often run non-stock Android) it’s a move that, short of further explanation, rubs some the wrong way.

‘BusPatrol’ Put #AI #Cameras in Tens of Thousands of #School #Buses. Now They Want to Give #Cops #Access

#BusPatrol is aware of the #controversy around #ALPR cameras, and particularly of the concern that #ICE may gain access to the data, according to the BusPatrol documents ...
The danger here, aside from the misuse of data, is above all that children grow up with this and come to see it as normal to be constantly monitored by cameras. A society under constant surveillance develops differently. It is more conformist, less critical, and very keen on blending into the crowd unnoticed and not standing out. This is exactly what the ruling elite wants: a society that silently endures everything because it fears #repression through the cameras.

It looks like the World Economic Forum has woken up and realized that without entry-level positions, there is no middle or senior level. Let's see how long that wisdom takes to trickle down to decision-makers.

My work tracking cryptocurrency and AI industry political spending has only underscored the importance of getting big money out of politics. I recently talked to Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United, about what it would take to do that, and how we’re closer than you might think.

Too funny.
The judge, finding AI hallucinations in the court filings and learning lawyers on both sides of the case used #AI to create their briefs, cancels the trial and kicks everyone off the case.
"This case presents the Court with an unusual scenario—attorneys for both litigants engaged in similar sanctionable conduct. This court is yet again burdened with addressing AI hallucinations in court filings."
All 4 lawyers were disqualified, 2 barred from the court for 2 years. All were fined.
Hard pass. Privacy, either the illusion of it or what's left of it, comes first here. Siri is turned off where found on.

Open AI, the company behind ChatGPT and destruction of our watersheds and breathable air, just sent out an email about their privacy policy to users.
They have probably about a dozen ways to know where each user is, and even thought they know I'm not in Quebec, the email is in English and French. One email for an entire continent.
And they want to sell us intelligence.
Can't sell whatcha don't got! Zing! Bingo!
Why we letting these fools dictate laws and data center construction?!
