i'm not saying we shouldn't talk about all the ways in which AI fails in the market. it just seems like we've clearly gone way past that point and we should think about what it will look like when a failed project has already been internalized by an empire or an oppressive settler colonial project

States welcoming Trump's plan for 🇵🇸 are destroying the remaining of the "liberal/rule of law world order" facade. These decisions-if we're to believe in this order-must be openly deliberated in int'l fora. Stripping Palestinian's right to self-determination legitimises fascism.

Getting close to 50k views and I'm wondering is it just everybody is scared to say this and pleased I did? Because if there's so many of us who agree, trust me I'd know if 1k people disagreed with me let alone 50k, why are we letting AI ruin our universities?

Together we can turn back the tide.

Thank you, too!

Έγραψα μερικές κουβέντες για την πολύ προβληματική ανακοίνωση συνεργασίας της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης με την OpenAI. / I wrote an op-ed on why the announcement of the collab btn the Greek govt & OpenAI for ChatGPT in our classrooms is *BAD*

"This, however, is precisely backwards: policymakers should instead consider what AI could tangibly achieve for people and society, and from there ask what technological investments are necessary."

"The subtext is that the promised land is in sight – but that only the investments and regulatory changes demanded by large technology companies will get us there." ...

Great to see this out! With @bsky.charispapaevangelou.eu we analyse the DSA “Statement of Reasons” database, the EU-mandated archive of moderation decisions by online platforms. We examine what kind of platform observability the database affords & find large regional and cross-platform differences.

The multibillion-pound deal will build up to 12 modern nuclear reactors in northeast England and power data centres.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Here's part 2 of this week's two-part episode of Better Offline. I walk you through how America’s economic growth has become dependent on Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta’s AI capex - and how this will harm both our economy and markets.

That’s the key in this vague statement by Microsoft: if you treat a whole population (under illegal occupation) as terrorists (also MSFT basically accepting the false labelling of Palestinians as terrorists), then it’s ok. MSFt directly buys into and legitimises Israel’s apartheid and surveillance

Google is adding a new way to personalize the news you see

Λίγοι στίχοι είναι μεγαλύτεροι από το δίστιχο «τα καλοκαίρια μας μικρά / κι ατέλειωτοι χειμώνες» του Μιχάλη Μπουρμπούλη, και ερμηνεύτηκε από τη Μπέλλου.

How much more of a live-streamed genocide do we still need to BDS the Zionist state? Brave professional and citizen journalists are getting murdered live streaming their deaths and people still approach this trying to rationalise the genocide. Palestine shows us the way to liberation.

My first podcast appearance-and what a great company to appear in–I'm floored.

I was very happy to chat w @themaybe.org on how the hidden costs of digital sovereignty play out in the Greek context coorganised with @laurensnaudts.bsky.social & @plixavra.bsky.social

The liberal international order is collapsing. This piece argues that post–October 7 geopolitics reveals a shift from imperial hypocrisy to imperial candor: multilateralism is dead and force is the new lingua franca.

Greece's Ministry for Digital Governance adding *Artificial Intelligence* to its title by hype-driven, techno-solutionist govt that is simultaneously investigated by the EU for extreme corruption in handling EU money for agriculture + digital transformation is all you need to know about Greece atm.

These guys would 100% advise Nazis on how to streamline the Holocaust. Like how they now do to streamline genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

What impact is AI having on jobs in the tech industry? I've been collecting stories from tech workers—from engineers at giants like Google to content mods at TikTok to coders at small startups—to find out.

Here, in their words, is how AI is transforming, degrading, and yes, replacing their jobs.
