Zustellförderung ist nicht Bablers späte Rache, sondern “bemerkenswerte Konsequenz in einem Land, wo sich die Politik seit Jahrzehnten vor diesem Boulevard fürchtet und vor sich hertreiben hat lassen” 👏 @kappachers.bsky.social im Morgenjournal, 19.10. | Radio Ö1 oe1.orf.at/player/20261...

Der Bund geht von "erheblichen Schäden" beim #Cyberangriff auf einen Softwarelieferanten der #Pensionskasse des Bundes #Publica aus. "Besonders betroffen sind die Sicherheitsorgane des Bundes", heisst es in einer vertraulichen "Informationsnotiz", wie der "Sonntags- @blick.ch " schreibt.

The tech oligarchs are the greatest threat to the world.
😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his WhatsApp channel…” 1/

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
All three Yandex AI supercomputers are reportedly offline: Galushkin in Vladimir, Chervonenkis and Lyapunov in Sasovo, whose data center shut down after the Oct 8 strike. Yandex Cloud outages also threaten thousands of Russian firms relying on it for websites, databases and payments 👏

Tausense Menschen die zusammengepfercht werden, gezielt ausgehungert, geschlagen, gefoltert, terrorisiert. Deutschland unterstützt diese Politik. Kritischer Diskurs wird unterdrückt. Wir haben kollektiv schlicht aufgehört Palästinenser als Menschen zu betrachten. Das ist unsere Staatsräson.
Haaretz's detailed story on the Israeli gulags, in which nearly 10,000 Palestinians are held, vast majority of them have not been charged or convicted. These are crimes against humanity. archive.ph/LdVXQ

Dürfen wir vorstellen? Das ist Helmut (eigentl. Maurice Luca) Strauf, im Vorstand der AfD-Jugend, der unverhohlen nicht nur den Anschluss Österreichs an Deutschland als Ziel nennt, sondern gleich die deutschspr. Schweiz, Südtirol und weitere Gebiete mit deutschsprachigen Minderheiten inhalieren will

I'm not sure if y'all saw a CNN report on how the US had almost started WW3 with China based on fabricated information generated by a chatbot, claiming that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons. That was an "existential threat" to humanity www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In this op-ed, @emilymbender.bsky.social & I remind everyone that it's the BELIEF that these products are "superintelligent," enough to rely on them for this type of use, that almost rendered humanity extinct.

The EU Kids Act adds a new layer to an already dense regulatory landscape. Jessica Galissaire unpacks how it relates to the Digital Services Act, AI Act and Digital Fairness Act, and what that means for the EU's online safety enforcement.

You guys, we are two weeks away from the return of The Lowdown, just an incredible, delightful television program. I wrote earlier this year about why you should sample it if you haven't already:

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.
the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.

Timnit and collaborators contributed original research and METHODS that shaped the emergent field of AI safety and biased training data. AI developers “discovering” what independent scholars proved a decade ago is insulting and only reveals corporate ignorance.
How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

NEW: French researcher Stephanie Lamy exposes the network of “race realists” who hunted Jason Arday like prey, and the media that fell into his trap. If you think the news cycle has “moved on” from this story, ask yourself why? broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-killin...

Prof der TU Darmstadt behauptet im ZDF „Ethnopluralismus“ (völkischer Rassismus fancy ausgedrückt) sei einfach regulärer Teil des demokratischen Ideenaustauschs. Das geht jetzt ganz schnell.
Den medialen Umschwung im Umgang mit der AfD kann man auch am Hofieren solcher Experten beobachten: Völkische, verfassungsfeindliche Konzepte werden nun als ganz normaler Teil des demokratischen Pluralismus normalisiert.

These polls are just western plots to convince people an election should be decided by voters.
So there's this online contest to vote for the 38 most influential people on bluesky, but @darthputinkgb.bsky.social is only #466. Most certainly the vote is rigged by western imperialists. Votes are closing in 2 weeks bsky38.com/profile/did:...

Gerne würde ich das Thema #IWP #Luzern ausblenden. Aber es lässt einen nicht los. Was ich diese Woche erlebt habe, gehört erzählt. 🧵
Ganz unabhängig von Personen: Das #IWP #Luzern ist ein institutioneller Sündenfall. Eine Organisation mit weltanschaulicher Vorgabe, propagandistischer Mission und intransparenter Finanzierung gehört weder in noch an eine #Universität.

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.
