🚨 Do you know what's happening tomorrow? The @europarl.europa.eu will finally hold a debate on the controversial #EUMercosur trade deal

After more than 25 years of negotiations marked by a lack of transparency and democratic process, this debate is long overdue! A thread 🧵

Few months a I discussed Arrighi's "Long 20th century" speculating if it will be that easy for China to become the new imperium. I was arguing that U.S. safeguarded it's position on multiple levels, legally and technologically. I must admit I didn't see that coming: foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/11/d...

Workers are largely missing from the 2025 work programme published today by the European Commission

It is the first time since 2019 that the work programme has not contained any new social legislation

The public funding for AI should be spent not only by direct projects but on a daily basis by public procurement) on ethical, safe for humans and planet technology - with software under free copyleft licenses so it will be open for public review and boost innovation #aiactionsummit #roost #commons

What we need to have AI working for people (not the opp) on EU level is the precautionary principle which should work exactly the same way as pharmaceutical or pesticides acceptance process - BEFORE introducing to market should prove safety for humans and planet. No balancing #aiactionsummit #roost

@audreyt.org thank you for bringing important points to the AI discussion - yes, we need #interoperability. Which means biding regulations with strong execution. I hope Roost will direct its effort to the right places WTO, European Commission, and free trade agreements negotiations #aiactionsummit

While we are witnessing Musk AI coup d'etat in US here in Paris on #aiactionsummit we here from main stage that the solution to AI threats to democracy is... an education and that some nice businesses will work on some nice AI. This is disturbing at least

A w Polsce (prawie} wszyscy zaskoczeni, że jako Tusk nie zmienił polityki na #granica. Tylko że on lat mówił otwarcie o zamykaniu granic
On Monday, a commission spokesperson told reporters that "We're not in the habit of answering speculative questions", when asked about Donald Tusk's public refusal to implement new EU asylum rules – while commission president Ursula von der Leyen stood next to him last Friday.
Donald Tusk's decade-old anti-asylum plan takes shape
Eight years ago, when Donald Tusk was president of the EU Council, the European Commission described his proposal to no longer divide up arriving asylum seekers among EU states as shameful. Now the co...

Speaking a democracy... Most of the citizens are workers and we need also democracy in the work place. Unf for now I don't see good representation of legitimate union concerns about impact of AI on decent jobs and payments. We don't want to be managed by robots, you know #aiactionsummit

Why no one is speaking about it?! AI is endangered by reckless human consumption. I pledge to limit my water consumption to 1l daily to #SaveAI - and you should to 🙃💧🤖💗

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala DG WTO about AI's related challenges: 1. fragmentation of regulatory framework 2. developing countries could not have equal opp to participate in prospected 14% growth. So it's where we are - WTO will continue to push for free market solutions, business as usual #aiactionsummit

Why is African Tech Workers Rising at the #AIActionSummit?

As ex-Facebook moderator Sonia says: there are $billions invested into #AI. The workers making AI safe and accurate deserve decent jobs and their fair share.

Od dawna toczy się dyskusja, czym są klasy i jak badać kto do jakiej należy, czy jak ktoś "ma" coś na kredyt to jest posiadaczem czy posiadanym, czy liczy się własność środków prod. czy aspiracje, zarobki czy kapitał kult - a jak zmierzyć bycie obiektem pogardy? #rozaluxemburg #kapitalizm #klasizm
