Don’t be surprised if you get a call from “Mindy” sometime soon. 1mind, a startup co-founded by Amanda Kahlow, has been quietly shipping its sales agent, named "Mindy," for about a year. On Monday, the startup announced a $30 million Series A round led by Battery Ventures. This brings 1mind’s total raise to $40 million, the company says. @Techcrunch has more, including how 1mind is differentiating itself in a crowded market:

Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

"Viele Demonstrationen in #Mannheim starten oder enden auf dem Alten Messplatz. Am Rand des Platzes, an der Alten Feuerwache, hängen acht Überwachungskameras, weitere sind über den Platz verteilt. Insgesamt filmen 70 Kameras die Innenstadt, 46 davon sind an eine #KI-Verhaltenserkennung gekoppelt.
Das ist spätestens dann ein Problem, wenn Menschen hier demonstrieren wollen. David Werdermann, Jurist bei der Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, sagt: „Die Versammlungsfreiheit lebt davon, dass Menschen ohne Angst und Einschüchterung ihre Meinung auf der Straße kundtun können.“ Videoüberwachung und KI-gestützte Auswertung könne Menschen von der Versammlungsteilnahme abhalten, „zumal sie sich wegen des Vermummungsverbots nicht gegen eine mögliche Erfassung wehren können“....."

Seven more families have filed lawsuits against OpenAI claiming that the company’s GPT-4o model was released prematurely and without effective safeguards. Some of the suits address ChatGPT’s alleged role in suicides of their family members. @Techcrunch reports:
Interessante Hintergründe zur militarisierten, digitalen Überwachungsindustrie und Milliardärskartellen um Palantir, SpaceX, Thiel Capital und Co.. Die systemische Analyse könnte zwar ausgefeilter sein, die Netzwerke und autoritären Ideologien werden aber gut beleuchtet.
Während diese Entwicklungen derzeit vor allem in den #USA stattfinden, fasst Palantir auch in #Europa immer mehr Fuß. In #Deutschland sind es vor allem die Partei Die Grünen und die Union, die dem Einsatz von Palantir-Überwachungstechnologie auf Länderebene immer weiter den Grund bereiten.

„Klinische Tests ohne Genehmigung, autonome Autos ohne Auflagen, Kernreaktoren und Nuklearenergie ohne staatliche Überwachung und eine Sonderwirtschaftszone, in der es kaum Steuern zu zahlen gibt und auch die Rechte von Arbeitskräften außer Kraft gesetzt werden. So stellen sich zahlreiche Chefs der Big-Tech-Unternehmen und US-Investoren die Zukunft vor – von Peter Thiel bis Sam Altman und Marc Andreessen. Donald Trump soll es möglich machen. Schon 2023 hatte er im Wahlkampf davon gesprochen, solche Freedom Cities in den USA zu ermöglichen.…“

Dieser Artikel bietet eine knappe Übersicht über verschiedene Milliardär- und Techbro-Ideologien wie "Effective Altruism", #Transhumanismus und #Longtermismus, die oftmals mit bestimmten Narrativkonstruktionen von "technologischem Fortschritt" und Zukunft arbeiten und mit (Er)Lösungsversprechen aufwarten, aber im Grunde zur Erfüllung von dystopischen Macht- und Profitinteressen der Superreichen dienen sollen.
"Timnit Gebru vermutet hinter dem Vorhaben keine technische, sondern eine politische Agenda. Gemeinsam mit Torres zieht sie eine historische Linie von den amerikanischen Eugenikern über die Transhumanisten zu den führenden Köpfen von OpenAI, in der es nie um die Zukunft und das Wohl der gesamten Menschheit ging, sondern darum, alles Unnütze und Überflüssige auszusortieren."

Neben der rechten Ideologie des "Transhumanismus", den #ElonMusk mit #Neuralink-Hirnchips und ähnlichem vorantreiben möchte, sind Leute wie er auch Fans des Longtermismus, den sie mit ihrem Einfluss zu propagieren versuchen.
'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

How successful has Twitter's rebrand to X been? Well, most people still refer to the platform as "X, formerly Twitter," so we're going to say, not very. The team at Creative Bloq report on the blue bird's last gasp, as X sunsets the twitter.com URL, and how — no surprise — that's not gone smoothly.

Gaza Sky Geeks (GSG) gave the Gaza Strip a glimpse of an international future, training thousands of young people training in coding, digital marketing, graphic design and entrepreneurship. This offered them a gateway to new remote work from within the besieged territory. Then Hamas attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostages, and Israel launched a full-scale war. Rest of World takes a look at how GSG got started, the challenges it faced as it established itself, and where the community is now.

When hackers hit a company with a ransomware attack, another company that specializes in negotiating with the perpetrators may step in. Two such specialists were recently charged by the U.S. Dept. of Justice for carrying out ransom attacks of their own. @Techcrunch has more:
What jobs is AI actually replacing? Henley Wing Chiu, who blogs about enterprise tech at Bloomberry.com, analyzed 180M job postings to find out. He found that the job with the biggest decline is computer graphics artist, with photographer, journalist and writer high on the list too. Some of the shifts aren't to do with AI. At least three of the top 10 declining roles are in sustainability and compliance positions — symptomatic of the U.S. government's approach to regulation and the environment. Which jobs are on the up? Machine learning engineer and trade compliance specialist.

In the midst of an unprecedented AI buildout, Meta is reportedly spending as much as $600 billion on U.S. infrastructure over the next three years. That's making Wall Street nervous. @Techcrunch explains:

Up to now I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality
The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode
In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4
However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!
That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

For years, Meta fostered an industry of viral content on Facebook. As the company transformed its main feed into a "discovery engine" of recommended posts from random pages and accounts, creators supplied a stream of content crafted for the algorithm for in some cases very large sums of money. But over the last year, some creators say this dynamic has broken down. One grew so frustrated, he's filed dozens of lawsuits in small claims court over the last year. Read more from @Engadget:
