As tech firms work to build AI agents, the tech tools “still feel distant: locked behind invitation codes and subscriptions, and aimed largely at office work rather than everyday life,” Kingling Lo writes. Lo decided to experiment with Alibaba’s AI agent to plan a holiday and came away with this: “Until they can convince users they’re acting not just on our behalf but in our best interests, I don’t mind pressing a few extra buttons to stay in control.” Read more about her experience at @restofworld:

The US military is threatening to cut ties with AI firm Anthropic over the company's refusal to allow its AI to be used for mass civilian surveillance and fully AI-controlled weapons.

It's depressing that none of the other Big Tech firms have any scruples about this. Well with
morale, they would not be big.

„Digitalisierung, dieser Begriff charakterisiert Prozesse, durch die etwas mit uns geschieht, mit unseren Körpern, unserem Sein in der Welt. Wir wollen uns von den gegenwärtigen Phänomenen, die wir sehen, aber nur schwer begreifen, ein Bild machen.

Es geht um Technik, aber wir versuchen keine Technikerklärung. Mit welchen Veränderungen sind die Subjekte durch die Phänomene und Effekte der Digitalisierung konfrontiert?
All das findet nicht im luftleeren Raum statt, sondern in einer sich in ihren verheerenden Auswirkungen verschärfenden Weltsituation.

Können wir darin eine Weise zu leben behaupten, jenseits von dem, was uns die Subjekte des weltumspannenden Kapitalismus mit ihren Lebens- und Beziehungsformen als alternativlos aufoktroyieren wollen?“

Capulcu - Band II
Disconnect – keep the future unwritten!

"Seit Jahren brechen Wellen eines technologischen Angriffs über uns herein – wir verkennen diesen Angriff als vermeintlich neutrale „technologische Entwicklung“ und spielen bereitwillig mit.
Es ist Zeit für eine fundiertere Analyse, es ist Zeit für eine Verschwörung gegen die dramatisch wachsende Fremdbestimmung. Diese Broschüre ist unsere erste Sammlung an Diskussionen und Ideen dazu.
Unser Ziel ist die Zurückweisung des smarten Griffs nach unserer Sozialität, Kreativität, Autonomie – unserem Leben. Wir suchen nach Wegen der Selbstbehauptung.
(...)
Mit Macht vorangetriebene technologische Schübe sind schwer und selten umkehrbar, sobald sie einmal gesellschaftlich durchgesetzt sind und der darüber geprägte „Zeitgeist“ ab da selbstverstärkend für die notwendige Stabilisierung sorgt: „Der technologische Wandel wird so schnell sein, dass das menschliche Leben unwiderrufbar verwandelt wird.“ (Ray Kurzweil, Chefingenieur von Google)."

"For years waves of a technological attack have been breaking over us - we misjudge this attack as a supposedly neutral "technological development" and willingly play along.
It's time for a more informed analysis, it's time to conspire against dramatically increasing foreign domination. This booklet is our first collection of discussions and ideas on this.
Our goal is to reject the smart grip on our sociality, creativity, autonomy - our lives. We are looking for ways of self-assertion.

Online #privacy is the cornerstone of a democratic cyberspace, a fundamental right that empowers individuals to shape their digital identity. It's not just about hiding; it's about the power to choose what facets of our lives we share in the virtual arena. As #technology advances, the call to preserve online privacy becomes more urgent, guiding us towards a future where the digital landscape is a reflection of our choices, not an open book for #surveillance.

Surveillance relies on sensors being present.

PH4NTXM removes that assumption at the kernel level.

Microphone, camera, and audio output never reach userspace.
Applications, browsers, and malware have nothing to enumerate, request, or exploit.

When sensors don’t exist to the operating system, surveillance tooling loses its footing — not because it’s blocked, but because the attack surface is gone.

There’s no muting.
No permissions.
No trust model.

By enforcing sensor absence at the kernel boundary, entire categories of monitoring and exfiltration simply fail by design.

This isn’t anti-surveillance through resistance.
It’s anti-surveillance through architecture.
