“Like Prime, but with human beings.”
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror. The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

Interview @knack.be naar aanleiding nieuws I-Police en gebruik #AI door politie in België. Bedankt @elisahulstaert.bsky.social voor interview!

Artificiële intelligentie bij de politie: ‘Ze doen nu al veel meer met AI dan we denken, we weten er alleen weinig over’
I-Police, het project dat het kluwen lokale en federale politiedatabanken moest centraliseren, is op een teleurstelling uitgelopen.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Voor de miljoenste keer: het plan staat haaks op het principe van individuele privacy. Het is ONMOGELIJK om een veilige achterpoort in een E2EE-systeem in te bouwen.

Experts zeggen dit al 50 jaar (it's the maths, stupid), maar politici willen gewoon niet luisteren.

De Belgische overheid zou momenteel het voorliggend Deens wetsvoorstel steunen dat de deur opent tot massa surveillance en meer kansen voor cybercrime zonder dat het kinderen beschermt. Een wetsvoorstel dat daarnaast ook nog hevig beïnvloed is geweest door Amerikaanse tech bedrijven. #chatcontrol

After the board denied the set up of a working group on digital criminology because they consider it too similar to cybercrime, they now respond in a very defensive and concerning way to the request to have a democratic vote on motion below. I think it’s time for some self-reflection within the ESC.

Geen door oorlog zwaar gewonde kinderen willen verzorgen is toch een soort onmenselijkheid waarvan we ooit hoopten dat ze was uitgeroeid.

Ontzettend pijnlijk. Net geen meerderheid om zwaargewonde kinderen uit Gaza in Nederlandse ziekenhuizen de zorg te geven die ze nodig hebben.

Uit medemenselijkheid is dit het absolute minimum wat je als land moet doen. We laten het hier niet bij zitten

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.
Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms
Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.
