Pennsylvania lawmakers proposed requiring smart glasses to display a recording indicator whenever audio or video capture is active. 👓🔴
The bill would also ban disabling the indicator and require retailers to explain state recording laws, reinforcing transparency and privacy. 🔒📜#TechNews #SmartGlasses #Privacy #Wearables #Recording #Surveillance #Meta #Technology #CyberSecurity #DigitalRights #ConsumerTech #Innovation #AI #TechPolicy #Pennsylvania #USA #US #Trump

the state of AI industry: not only there is a cartel-like behavior from manufacturers to jack up the prices on DRAM, but there is also an AI tokens black market (politely called "Transfer Station economy") https://www.chinatalk.media/p/how-to-buy-cheap-claude-tokens-in
(also a reminder that Chinese tech companies are as AI-pilled as American)

after some good news about Andy Burnham's tech policy - i.e ditching Palantir - we're coming to bad ones (albeit I expected that since he backed the ban in January) https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/andy-burnham-social-media-ban-37383525
funny enough he's supposedly against UK Digital ID so... how exactly does he think it's going to get enforced lol

I know it's popular to dunk on UK & its governments for passing moronic laws, or shout "UK is bad, it always represses civil rights!11", whether it makes sense or not. U-16 social media ban was one of examples of former, although I always said that dumb tech policy takes aren't unique to UK or Australia.
guess what? here is EU catching up :angry_laugh: https://www.euractiv.com/news/eu-plans-to-announce-social-media-ban-for-kids-in-september/

🚨BREAKING: US government seeks *supreme model arbiter* to wield life-altering power over which models to ban. Apparently, someone's dream job is to spend taxpayer dollars deciding whether your favorite AI-generated face deserves exile. Who knew bureaucracy could be so...fashionable? 🕵️♂️👗

🤦♂️ Because, of course, nothing says "efficient technology distribution" like having the #government rubber-stamp every single AI upgrade. Let's just hope they don’t get stuck in the same queue as the DMV. 🐢✨

While local politics often dominates the daily news cycle, the most significant impacts on our digital rights—ranging from the AI Act to digital identity frameworks—almost always originate from the European Union. Europe is quietly setting the global standard for tech regulation. 🇪🇺⚖️

RE: https://alecmuffett.com/article/161274
I genuinely think there should be free mandatory Coursera (or any other platform) lessons/lectures for politicians and certain journalists on technology & tech policy by software engineers.
time and again, they refuse to learn any lessons at all.

Ah yes, the UK's latest attempt to "age-gate" the internet: a masterstroke of digital innovation where #VPNs are banished and websites deliver "degraded responses" as a feature, not a bug. 🤦♂️ Meanwhile, the government waits impatiently for the tech to catch up with their 1990s-level tech policies. 📉
