Middle managers and CEOs freaking out right now, as their favorite Sycophantic Text Extruding Machines can't regurgitate their geniusness.

The primary website people use to check if a website is down is also affected by the #Cloudflare outage. 😅 It would be quite funny, if it wasn't a reminder of everything we take for granted when building our digital experiences.

Today I’m attending the 4D Conference in Barcelona—feels nice to join a digital rights event without taking a flight for a change.
This morning starts strong with @rashaar.bsky.social presenting on the state of affairs of EU regulation and the road ahead to hold Big Tech accountable.

Is it me or does this come off as pretty mafia like? You either buy into my vision for this tech or you'll end up being an outcast.

Genuinely neat and useful feature, but I'm begging reporters to add *at least* some nuance.
Text recognition (OCR) has been around for years. Perhaps we can tone down a bit tech companies' ✨ magical innovation ✨ PR.

Twitter used to be at the top of the ranking in 2020 and 2022. But post-Musk's acquisition the company has fallen off a cliff on several transparency areas. X didn't even publish transparency reports for more than two years.
Just take a look at the score changes since 2022:

Chinese companies had the greatest improvements (although starting from quite a lower baseline) and there are some promising developments.
It's the first time we see clear human rights commitments from Alibaba and Tencent (!).
Also a sneak peak of the "fall from grace" from a certain platform...

It's not that nobody noticed, it's that hardly anyone watched it. 42k views on YouTube since it was published two months ago...
It's also not particularly fun or interesting to capture attention, much like any other AI slop.
I guess Apple had already called dibs on Spike Jonze.

From Taiwan back to Barcelona and home for a day before attending Mobile World Congress, navigating all the new buzzwords and narratives that companies are coming up with, as telcos emphasise their strategies to face the growth and power of Big Tech platforms. #MWC2025
