Jeg blev sådan set færdig med min PhD i januar, men var til dimission her den anden dag i Barony Hall i Glasgow. Afhandlingen er frit tilgængeligt på stax.strath.ac.uk/concern/thes.... Da jeg var der helt selv er der ikke mange billeder, men her er to. #phd #phddone #graduation #jura #security #law

November 14, 1152 BCE: the first recorded workers' strike occurred in ancient Egypt under Pharaoh Ramses III. Artisans and laborers working on the royal tombs at Deir el-Medina stopped working in protest of delayed and insufficient rations, a form of wages. collezioni.museoegizio.it/en-GB/materi...

In any case TESTING AI MODELS GIVES NO GUARANTEES. Creating the impression that it does is technologically illiterate and deceptive.
Studies of abusers on dark web forums show that while mainstream AI models can produce CSAM, it’s not very realistic, so they use LoRAs to make it so. This testing won’t really do much because abusers aren’t using vanilla models. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Once again, I am asking the powers that be to have a basic grasp of how the Internet and actual online safety works. It isn't VPNs which are putting people at risk...

Signed, a journalist who has been covering cybersecurity for well over a decade.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how
Ignoring VPNs risks creating ineffective laws, but tracking them threatens people's privacy

Tit skriver Søren Ryge fantastiske klummer for Kristlig Dagblad. Men hans fra 8/11/25, "Da 300 studerende sang med og lyttede til en klassisk skæbnefortælling om en gammel mand på Djursland", kombinerer så mange ting jeg elsker og selv arbejder med, at det rører meget. Virkelig dejligt!! #dkmedier

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:

Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $

Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $

Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.
I think about this a lot.

The truth is - the current regulations do not deter these companies from designing harmful algorithms.

Livets små glæder findes i mange former. En af mine er at få lyttet til alle de klummer Søren Ryge har lavet siden sidst, mens jeg arbejder. Der er meget få udover ham der bruger tid på at beskrive haveemner (udover Haven, som også er fantastisk læsning, og Signes have!) og livsnærvær i mine farver.

i'm sorry, concretely, if you do the work that currently takes you, say 35 hours, in say 15 hours -- what do you think will change? don't you think the remaining 20 hours will be filled with new work? do you think there's unlimited work to be done so that no employee has to go?

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/
