Please make yourself a favor and ask ChatGPT to *not use emojis*.

A well constructed argument doesnt have to be fun and engaging.

Aiming for that infantilizes your audience and insults their intelligence.
Thank you.

I don’t like Meta’s attitude at all but moves like these are a logical step.

Reminds me of copyright link taxes where platforms choose not to allow such content. The answer from regulators is to eventually force carrying (and policing) content.

There’s a better option…
Meta is ending all political, electoral, and social issue ads across the EU in October 2025, a response to the new EU regulations on political ad transparency. The move protects Meta from "legal uncertainty". It also means fewer civic campaigns and less visibility for smaller political voices.

La moda de usar la IA (LLMs) para cosas que no sirve, pone en riesgo tareas sensibles y estratégicas:

La agencia regulatoria de medicamentos de USA se enorgullece de usarla en el proceso de aprobar nuevos medicamentos.

Pero alucina e inventa estudios.

Insiders tell CNN the FDA’s AI is “hallucinating” studies and can’t access key documents. Agency leaders insist the AI is getting better, and use is not mandatory.

This, and it doesn't work.

Now, it is possible to address the harms of mass engagement-driven platforms. But doing so requires pushing back on the core biz models of the platforms, not tinkering on the edges w surveillant 'solutions' that increase surveillance w/o addressing the root cause.
It is my opinion that introducing age verification now is irresponsible, mainly because we have now reached the point where Western governments *are* using "the database state" and exploiting online surveillance to be repressive - just as privacy activists warned for decades. This applies to UK & US

Help me understand:
What tech challenge will define the next 5 years? And how are you preparing to tackle it from where you sit?

I'm curious about your specific take. Will read every comment and share what patterns emerge. I believe there are collective insights here that could benefit us all.

Uno de los mayores desafíos que tendremos los defensores de derechos humanos será defender valores humanistas frente a posiciones de poder que nos tilden de intervencionistas o liberales extranjerizados.

This Pope (Leo XIV) will speak a lot about technology. He has already commented on AI as a challenge to dignity, justice, and labor.

The precedent is the 2020 Rome Call for AI Ethics, promoted by the Pontifical Academy for Life. Links in the replies.

It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions.

This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary.
