Need to illustrate how much the current AI arm race is an ecological and social problem? Here is a very pathological case. This is what you get when you let the tycoons behind this completely unchecked.

Interesting analysis. For sure the Rust for Linux drama tells something about the Linux kernel community and its complicated social norms.

Politics in the Linux kernel can indeed be tough. The alternative path proposed to the Rust-for-Linux team is indeed an interesting one, it could bear interesting results quickly.

It's a piece which really resonates with me. I've been thinking and saying for a while that focusing mostly on the technical (licensing and dev) aspects of Open Source was a mistake. This completely overlooked the political side of the Free Software equation. This is why the industry is as it is now. We need stronger commons and indeed the AGPL is best for that.

It's time to push European governments to abandon this nonsense.

This is become an important industry. Regulation is needed to avoid consumers to be in a mouse trap. This is necessary to reap the benefits of those technologies.

Excellent visualization which shows how adverse experiences during childhood shape our lives as adults.

Excellent news, let's hope this thwarts the commission plans as expected.

Or why nationalism and war mongering are unwelcome dead ends. I never understood this fascination for Sparta by some people... if you look at what it was without some misplaced romanticism, it definitely looked like an horrible and paranoid environment to live in.

This is really bad... Now, this is investigation is UK centric though. I wonder how other countries would fare.

This is going to be interesting to see how this new regulation unfolds. Its impacts are well beyond just Microsoft.

Interesting exploration of the Wikipedia community dynamics. This explains quite a few things on its evolution. It highlights how it became a beacon of sanity in the insane political landscape we're collectively facing.

I fully agree with this. All those doomsayers about AI are there to sell something willingly or not. Let's look at the current threats we're seeing now, not the imaginary ones being the results of people taking SciFi a bit too literally.

It's really coming from everywhere these days. Let's make sure this doesn't get adopted.

A longer account of a seminar showing the amount of people and arguments against chat control. The EU commission is pretty isolated in this madness.

This is a very worrying development in Europe. This feels a lot like a dream come true for police states... Let's not go there.

Timely and needed statement as fights against cryptography are emerging again.

Definitely very important as our privacy is attacked once more...

A bad solution in search of a problem basically. Let's look at the alternatives and fund proper solutions to why people are victimized, shall we?

Please, even if you're not French go and sign this. It can't be allowed to pass, this would create a dangerous precedent.
