In this era of information overload, censorship works by drowning us in too much undifferentiated information, crippling our ability to focus. These dumps, combined with the news media's obsession with campaign trivia and gossip, have resulted in whistle-drowning, rather than whistle-blowing: In a sea of so many whistles blowing so loud, we cannot hear a single one.

"Artificial #GoodEnough Intelligence can unleash chaos and destruction long before, or if ever, #AGI is reached. Existing AI is good enough to blur or pulverize our existing mechanisms of proof of accuracy, effort, veracity, authenticity, sincerity, and even #humanity. The tumult from such a #transition will require extensive technological, regulatory, and societal effort to counter. But the first step to getting started is having the #rightnightmares."

As the #Texas Floodwaters Rose, One Indispensable Voice Was Silent
Opinion - Zeynep Tufekci
July 9, 2025from #NewYorkTimes #NYT

"What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced."

Inspirierender Beitrag von @RainerMuehlhoff zum US-Umsturz, den er digitalen Staatsstreich nennt https://rainermuehlhoff.de/DLF-Radiofeuilleton-Staatsstreich-Trump-Musk/
#ZeynepTufekci nennt es in der #newyorktimes den Autoritären den #root Zugang geben.
Es wäre bezaubernd, wenn wir in Europa nicht die gleichen Fehler machten!
