  1. In the thirteenth century, Aquinas wrote that story; he sanctified the ownership of land and the serf’s body by the lord as “divine order.” In the twenty‑first century, Yuval Noah Harari takes on the same task. Only this time, God gives way to Data, and divine order to the Algorithm.

  6. One thing I thought #LLMs were good for was translation. Apparently #Gemini and others aren’t that great at that either.

    #Wikipedia restricted contributors from a nonprofit called the Open Knowledge Association (#OKA) after editors discovered #AI-assisted translations added factual errors and incorrect citations.

    As predicted, humans will be relegated to cleaning up the mess LLMs leave behind, for salaries far below the value of full-time employment to do the job properly.

    […] Zimmerman added that if this method proves insufficient, OKA is considering introducing formal peer‑review mechanisms.

    “When you see these videos, it feels that way. But since it is a job, you have to do it. You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work. You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.” #meta #ai #glasshole #privacy #digitalcolonialism

  8. @curiously @ilumium That’s it exactly: digital colonialism, a last ditch and final push to save Empire by any means possible, no matter the cost and consequences. Clegg is responsible for effectively destroying the Liberal Democratic Party. All because only those parties who are loyal to Empire’s fascists, as in their celebrity cults can do no wrong. The fact that so many can be bought and brainwashed to serve its techno fascists and their cults is beyond depressing. It must be a mind virus. No wonder there is a mental health crisis. #AiEmpire #DigitalColonialism #IPTheft

  9. "WhatsApp could share user data with its parent company, including a user’s phone number, device identifiers, interaction with other users, payment data, cookies, IP address, browser details, mobile network, time zone, and language. In reality, data sharing between WhatsApp and Facebook had started in 2016. The difference in 2021 was that users could no longer opt out ..."

  10. As if digital colonialism were not so obvious, I have just learned of the existence of a collective - associated with a university - that claims to talk about data in the Global South but operates from.... Amsterdam... and their latest articles are about... Germany... and its editors seem to be... mostly European.

  12. Imagine if we took our passion for justice, and really directed it towards ending the #technoFascists reign. Their #aggression results in #colonising the thoughts, feelings and desires of our loved ones on an hourly basis.

    They are an #invisibleEnemy hiding in layers of the #NetworkStack and **you can** do more to shine a light on them.

    Reclaim the open web.
