Democratisch grip krijgen op onze AI-toekomst zou een politieke topprioriteit moeten zijn. Want: wie ongelijkheid wil terugdringen, de #NationaleVeiligheid wil beschermen, #polarisatie en #extremisme wil terugdringen zou het over AI moeten hebben. En nog vele onderwerpen.

Opinie | AI zou een politieke topprioriteit moeten zijn
Digitalisering en AI veranderen de samenleving ingrijpend. Nederland heeft dringend een strategisch AI-beleid nodig voor autonomie en veiligheid.

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

High security risk. Palantir is not that advanced and mostly a Frankenstein monster of open source platforms hacked together by overly productive, but seldom effective, script kiddies
Bay Area companies destroy humanity; the end. True story was in the offices at one point talking to VP of Engineering randomly. He was insufferable. Do not trust Silicon Valley for anything EU.

SLAPPs are a particular form of harassment used primarily against journalists and human rights defenders to prevent or penalise speaking up on issues of public interest. The Directive on SLAPP has entered into force in May 2024 providing courts and targets of SLAPPs with the tools to fight back.
Media freedom and pluralism
The European Union upholds media freedom and pluralism as pillars of modern democracy and enablers of free and open debate.

Synchronicity... on Dutch television, Cory Doctorow explaining "enshittification" and how Big Tech has caught itself up in being valued as a growth stock (at minimal 20 x P/E) instead of a mature stock (at about 4 x P/E). Wasn't there a hitsingle back in the 80's, Alphaville "Forever Young"?
