My favorite AI philosopher and the worlds favorite AI naysayer, together again, one last time in a blog post: https://mail.proton.me/u/0/inbox/pY_PyL6ycVa73-vgbiWVpDE7pg_8YAGtzz5uS1KAeF_UoMBas0139E9W5CABwvUclAVP-Y8XjTueoo_qtogy_w==

Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that

Windows 11's online Microsoft Account requirement means your PC is automatically backing up its data encryption key to the cloud, and Microsoft says it will hand those over to the FBI if asked.

AG could just tell hotels they risk their license to operate if they house criminals and label ICE a criminal terrorist gang. Then send cops door to door asking hotel managers for their registration book, for those where they know ICE stays.

Sworn statement of a witness to today's murder by ICEholes. Read it all; it's only a couple of double-spaced pages.

When Tamir died I watched that video many many times. I thought that if I understood it perfectly I could explain to the people who seemed to not understand... what was really happening.

This was futile. With conservatives as you might expect, but also with some liberals who rationalized "well the police need more training, and bodycams, you have to be reasonable, it's a dangerous job"

I didn't think about what watching that video might be doing to me.

@ginaintheburg @KevinMKruse "Just following orders" is not a valid defense in the case of War crimes, and yes the POS in the White House is at War with the American People!

It's AI

This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

If you are in the US and have an Amazon Ring camera, disconnect it. The camera may be being used by ICE, by way of its participation in a Flock AI surveillance network.

Or sure, smash if it feels better.

I really like the new mayor of NYC.

Respect to all the brave and principled Minnesotans who are walking off the job today and/or closing their businesses.

@stilvoid
I like 404media and Reuters and an RSS feed reader that lets me gradually weed out the SLOP pushers and attention hijackers.

@randahl and maybe small action for everyone... Download and share to other social media... Have your kids make a tiktok...

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

Judge: How could bringing in NG from CA not be in direct contravention of TRO I issued yesterday? DOJ: TRO related only to Oregon NG Judge: You are an officer of the court. Aren't defendants clearly circumventing my order?

Satya Nadella wants us to stop saying “AI slop.” Jensen Huang is begging us to stop saying “hurtful” things about AI.

Dislike AI? Distrust Big Tech? Keep speaking out. The CEOs of the biggest companies in the world wouldn’t be trying so hard to change the narrative if it didn’t matter.
