The world needs social sovereignty

Taking up all the remaining oxygen in the room right now is AI hype,
exemplified by Jared Kaplan, who is quoted in this article:

"I spoke to Jared Kaplan, co-founder of Anthropic, the company behind the chatbot Claude.
He was a physicist the last time we spoke.
As a grad student at Harvard in the 2000s, he worked with the renowned theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed to open up the new directions in amplitude research that are being actively pursued today.

If you’re white enough to move with privilege, you can help by making an extra point of being out and about, keeping your eyes open, and carrying a whistle.
Some lovely succinct instructions I heard today if you see ICE: don’t be violent, don’t be silent.

New open-access paper: Degrowth is popular in the US and UK!
The label "degrowth" is not, but the policy substance is. "Ecosocialism" or "well-being economy" were labels that got better reactions.

🌞 Dual use of land for solar energy production and cultivation found feasible in Finland

Dual use of land for solar energy production and cultivation found feasible in Finland
Open farmlands are ideal locations for installing solar panels, but the most common method, which involves covering a large area with south-facing panels, prevents the field from being used for simultaneous farming. The panels can also be installed vertically, allowing crops to be grown in the same field. However, this solution is still rare in Finland.

There is a massive focus on trying to get Open Source software to the point where governments or big corporations can use them to "increase sovereignty" (which sometimes means a bit of a weird mix of things).
But that can lead to software being pushed towards more and more complex architectures and deployment strategies (think something like a simple collaborative editor needing Kubernetes to be deployable). While governments and certain companies might be able to shoulder tha…

It is pretty clear that ICE/DHS are intentionally trying to elicit a violent, possibly armed, response to these violent acts.
The ICE-gang is desiring this because then el cheato will invoke the insurrection act. That will, in turn, open the gates for the goons to really start breaking heads and for blood to flow in the streets.
My guess is that some ICE goon, somewhere, is going to get shot by a sniper or protester within a month, if not sooner.
I expect February to begin…

SoCal protester permanently blinded by DHS agent, family says
A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week, according to family of the victim.

Here's how things are going in nazi America. Cause America in general may be still far from being nazi, but parts of it are right there already.

Barbara Sobel (@barbaraj.sobel) on Threads
ICE quietly deports man in vegetative state—he died despite being perfectly healthy when arrested. Family was unable to find him for weeks—agent where detained finally admit he had "health issue." He was bedridden, unable to speak, move, or eat—could only blink to communicate. After ICE deported him by air ambulance to a hospital in Costa Rica—doctors described him as "filthy, with open wounds, dried blood in his mouth, and unable to speak or move."

I continue to be impressed with how the LLM systems are pretty open about queerness and non-judgmental, non-homophobic. Remarkable given that so much of the training material must be hateful! Here's Gemini being cautious but helpful after I asked it about a summary of what it knows about me and asked why it didn't mention me being gay.
I do have access to information regarding your personal life and sexual orientation from our previous conversations. However, I am designed with specific safety and privacy guardrails that prevent me from storing or outputting information related to a user's sexual orientation or sensitive medical conditions in these types of summaries.
While I can remember and use those details to provide context during our active discussions—such as when we were looking into the history of queer voices or specific support resources—I cannot include them in a "permanent" distilled profile like the one above.

I can foresee website hosting plans being split into "browser only" (requiring proof-of-work/proof-of-cognition cookies) and "open" (to bots, including archives and search engine indexers).
The AI scrapers (and, to some extent, many more unauthorised pen-testers) have made dynamic websites far more expensive to run over the last year or two.

ICE has purchased “a smorgasbord of spy technology: social media monitoring, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools, and more … the government openly says it will use [these] capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions [including] anti-ICE protesters.”
