I wrote to Amazon demanding answers and a pause on Ring’s facial recognition rollout—and now I’m releasing Amazon’s response. The takeaway? Consent isn’t their problem and widespread surveillance is here to stay.

Enter generative AI in general and ChatGPT in particular. If your idea of learning is scrolling through content and perhaps shuffling it around a little before submitting it back online for your credential, it must seem like a kind of liquid-metal coursework Terminator. Why *wouldn’t* it appeal?

Started watching the AMC series, Pantheon, and unfortunately, the real life stupidity of the ai/tech industry is really breaking my suspension of disbelief, given how 'believable' the story seems to want to come across. Haven't read the short stories, so maybe those land better.

Germany has the most data centres in Europe — but the boom is pushing its energy grid to breaking point. In hotspots like Frankfurt, power is already maxed out. Read our new investigation with @algorithmwatch.org.

Feds now claim a "system crash" that happened immediately after ICE was sued is the reason why 10 days of footage from inside the Broadview Detention Center has been lost.

ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
