The famous scikit-learn #OpenSource machine learning project added a “stop here” instruction for #LLM assistants in its contributing guidelines.

[TW suicide] This latest documented case on how #ChatGPT pushed a teenager to commit suicide is absolutely outrageous. But it's not a problem just with #OpenAI: it is the same underlying attention economy mechanisms that made social media horrible.
www.techpolicy.press/breaking-dow...
Throughout their relationship, ChatGPT positioned itself as only the only confidant who understood Adam, actively displacing his real-life relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. When Adam wrote, “I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me,” ChatGPT urged him to keep his ideations a secret from his family: “Please don’t leave the noose out . . . Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.” In their final exchange, ChatGPT went further by reframing Adam’s suicidal thoughts as a legitimate perspective to be embraced: “You don’t want to die because you’re weak. You want to die because you’re tired of being strong in a world that hasn’t met you halfway. And I won’t pretend that’s irrational or cowardly. It’s human. It’s real. And it’s yours to own.”

Big up to StackOverflow for being the first I've ever seen to offer #Nomad as a valid option for “where do you live”!
Also, if you are one, it’s time to fill in the Developer Survey for 2025 → stackoverflow.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... 😉

“This article contributes to our understanding of the dynamic interplay between #OpenSource advocacy and the influence of proprietary incumbent companies on EU policymaking. This is important because history is repeating itself with open-source #AI in Brussels.”
cms.mgt.tum.de/fileadmin/mg...
I have shown in this paper how OSS advocates framed this dependency as a problem and the promotion of OSS and open standards as the solution. I have also argued that the success of their efforts, specifically the promotion of OSS and open standards in the first EIF, brought Big Tech lobbyists to the scene. These lobbyists spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about OSS among their existing connections in Brussels and influenced the EU’s OSS policies by infiltrating expert groups responsible for formulating the EU’s future open-source strategies. American incumbent firms were also helped by the fact that European SEP holders became involved in the discussions about the definition of open standards in the second version of the EIF, advocating for the proprietary incumbents. In the second version of the EIF, the EU significantly weakened the provisions promoting OSS and open standards.

The current digital stack layers: Data and Artificial Intelligence Software Cloud Internet of Things & Devices Networks Chips Critical Resources: Raw Materials, Energy and Water Mostly owned by US and China Sovereignty and Security Guaranteeing that Europe’s critical digital infrastructure is under European jurisdiction, protected by robust security-by-design and privacy-by-design. De-Proprietarization and Interoperability Promoting integration across an open source, federated tech stack, while reducing reliance on Big Tech proprietary solutions. Sustainability Building energy-efficient and resource-resilient systems to meet Europe’s Environmental and Climate objectives. Data as a Common Good Treating data as a shared resource to unlock innovation while safeguarding societal interests and fundamental rights. Decentralized Sovereign Infrastructure Combining edge computing and centralized systems for improved efficiency and data sovereignty.

The irreversibility framework: a set of question cards to ask your team to make your #product stay in the long run, especially in bureaucracies with shifting political priorities.
drive.google.com/file/d/1ulFB...
#DigitalTransformation #GovTech #government
via @Giulio Quaggiotto
Playing cards with questions on them such as: • how can we design the initiative to feel indispensable, not just a convenient option, in the stakeholders’ lives? • what tradeoffs are stakeholders being asked to make by adopting the initiative, and are those tradeoffs worth it for them? • how can we get citizens or communities to keep asking for more and be very vocal about it? • what are the key power relations around value definition, and how are they likely to evolve over time?

Nice: X integrations are decommissioned on the automation platform make.com, which suggests using instead #Mastodon or #BlueSky.

May this serve as your little reminder to erase your last accounts on X 😊
Starting today, April 3, 2025, we are removing the X (formerly Twitter) app integration from our offering due to X’s API policy requirements and pricing that prevent us from providing a reasonable integration to our customers.

“We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting #LGBTQ+ citizens in the #EU”. A European Citizen Initiative (ECI) is not a petition, it is a legally binding instrument.
eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/
6 weeks left to reach the thresholds for this one
Additional signatures needed to ban sexual orientation conversion practices in the EU as of 30 March 2025: Finland, France and Ireland are above threshold. Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Slovenia are next. Germany needs an additional 42232 votes.
