    July 27, 2026

    "Power sources providing electricity only to data centers and not the public grid may not be subject to ​federal pollution laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on ‌Monday.

  9. "The researcher Google fired for warning about exactly what is now happening was right.

    The company that fired her is now the second-largest deployer of the technology she warned about.

    And the people inside that company who agree with her are not allowed to say so."

  19. Peter Thiel non è un guru innocuo: è il fondatore di Palantir, colosso dei dati e della sorveglianza, ed è una delle figure di riferimento dell’ultradestra tech legata al mondo MAGA negli USA.
    Ora arriva a Roma con incontri chiusi su AI, politica e “Anticristo”.
    Tradotto: più potere concentrato nelle mani di élite opache, meno trasparenza e meno controllo democratico.
    Questo modello non ci interessa, anzi ci disgusta: in Europa vogliamo democrazia, regole e controllo pubblico.

  22. There seems to be a continued backlash agaijst #OpenAI for their begging for the US military comtracts which will allow for automated killing with no human involvement as well as mass surveillance. As a result of #Anthropic rejecting those two points, people are flocking to their service.

    **but they (anthropic) were still happy to accept money for developing technology to assist with murder.**
