Prediction markets are one of the many ways society is crumbling under the pressure to financialize everything — which crypto and NFTs were part of.
I spoke with Jathan Sadowski to dig into how tech companies are harming us to maximize profit.

The United States sanctioned Chilean officials who were assessing a proposal to build an undersea cable between Chile and Hong Kong.
It wants to ensure South America data flows through cables owned by US companies, giving it the ability to surveil that data.

There is a lot to like about this talk by Antón Barba-Kay, "The Politics of AI and the Fate of Liberal Democracy", but here's a quote that struck me:
He says this in the context of an argument that, especially in digital/online contexts, neutrality is conflated with truth, reason is identified with data and a quasi-scientific objectivity, and these conflations are damaging to democracy.

The conviction that technology is neutral is not itself neutral. It paradoxically functions as the conviction that this neutrality is a good thing so as to positively sanction the technological development of more "neutral" tools.
He says this in the context of an argument that, especially in digital/online contexts, neutrality is conflated with truth, reason is identified with data and a quasi-scientific objectivity, and these conflations are damaging to democracy.

Lately I've been using an ordinary XMPP chat app as a todo list, and it is almost great for this but definitely adequate. An actual todo-list-y user interface would make it nearly perfect for what I'd want from todo list software.
Open up chat to myself. Send a chat for each todo item. Use a reaction emoji to indicate status (done/cancelled/etc). Reply to the chat to add additional information and/or surface the item. All of it is shared among all devices, encrypted, and generates notifications. The one feature I'd like that I haven't figured out how to hack manually is scheduled reminders. An XMPP chat app that had scheduled messages could do it! I haven't found an XEP specifically about this but XEP-0471 might be bent to this purpose.

Well, today they are! Go follow the official #DigitalEU account: @digitaleu for updates about #OpenSource, #Tech and #DigitalSovereignty, and much more!
Today is a good day for the open source community. Stay tuned for more announcements.
To be clear about this: https://zeroes.ca/users/kimcrawley/statuses/116810584288856219
I like Kim and her work on StopGenAI well enough, but this post of hers is unwarranted and unfair in my view, as is the fact that several people chose to block me in response.
If you read the full context, which I link below, you'll see the objection boils down to the fact that I used the word "current" in a critique of LLM-based generative AI systems, in an attempt to be precise about what I was saying. Obviously people should block whomever they want for whatever reason they want, but I am not going to be cajoled by threats and ultimatums like this one into making sweeping claims just because other people want to see that. I've been crystal clear about my critique of generative AI for over 3 years now and my writing on it here stands for itself. I have no record of it but people who know me know that I was also quite critical of the hype around GANs in the late 2010s.
For context, here's my post: https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1782335950.858712

My tongue-in-cheek thread about self-abnegating software revealed to me that software is a parasite in ways I didn't appreciate before. I'm not sure I'll be able to unthink that.
To be more precise, whoever controls the software attempts to establish a parasitical relationship with a host ("user") using the software as attachment mechanism. One successful class of parasite leads its hosts into believing they are benefiting from the arrangement even as they are being led into a burrow to have eggs implanted in their carapaces. Some parasites recruit potential hosts in active construction of parts necessary to create novel attachment mechanisms.
