I've been too grumpy to bsky today. So here is a cat warming itself by the fire. (OC)
It seems kind of absurd Spotify is really quite accepting of AI barring voice clones but then is suing Anna's Archive for scraping their music.

Anna's Archive should train AI on it and put them in the uncomfortable position of setting a legal precedent against their own AI tech vision.

NGL, I kind of assume anyone who says "all software engineering will be rendered obsolete in the next year by AI coding agents" is either a fucking idiot, a paid shill, or both 🤷‍♂️

I had to look it up because I couldn't believe it. Argentina's new work reforms allow 'payment' in other ways like lodging and food. Is Milei going to put people on plantations too?

People voted for a clown and now the circus has arrived.

UPDATE: Ring just cancelled their partnership with #Flock.

Should you trust #ring now? No.

After all they thought this was a good idea.

And their statement doesn't acknowledge the real issue. More on that in a second.

But this shows: pressure works on privacy 1/

Gustav Söderström (Spotify CEO) must be brain damaged if he thinks devs have not been writing code. Why would you lie about something so obviously false?

Time to switch to Deezer man. Too much brainrot over at Spotify.

FT exclusive:

Jes Staley was named as a trustee of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate up until at least 2015, newly released documents show, which appear to undermine court testimony from the former Barclays boss that he turned down the role.

We are getting digitally passported wherever we go now because we saw children dying in a warzone and said 'that's wrong' which was in conflict with western foreign policy.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

💥 GOOD.

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

I feel the biggest thing about the X offices raid in Paris is it sends a message to American billionaires they no longer have immunity in France and hopefully Europe-wide soon.

Also smart move by Macron, Trump is petulant and non-diplomatic, any crazy response only boosts Macron and EU unity.
