'Sovereign AI' is just political branding, signaling to nationalist impulses while continuing to pour money into big tech firms. It's a mask for a sucker's game.
"This reveals a new kind of digital colonialism. Not one where countries are denied access, but one where they are structurally bound into dependencies across every layer of the AI stack. A European lab may host its own weights on a data center in France, but that center runs on American hardware, software…
It was unavoidable that this week I'd end up writing about Apple's latest blunder. But in the context of Figma's Sites bullshit and Shopify recasting designers as "artists" it's even worse than one OS making a stupid decision.
The mission of #UXdesign is being changed: orienting away from making useful products that work for everyone, and towards branding.
…
Funny how half of companies gave up on any branding or differentiation, and round down to “Your AI agent for work”

As we prepare for the ngscopeclient v0.1 release, I'd like to actually commission a proper application icon.
We're in initial talks with one designer but they're just a general icon/branding shop and have no specific EE experience so they'll need somewhat specific guidelines of what we want the icon to depict.
Does anyone have suggestions on what the icon should look like? Sketches, concepts, text descriptions, whatever are all very much of interest.

Trump and his allies wasted little time in branding the people protesting against immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles as “insurrectionists”.
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy
– particularly the vindictive kind
– spoke darkly of a “violent insurrection”.
JD Vance, the vice-president, inveighed against “insurrectionists carrying foreign flags” on the streets of the nation’s second-biggest city.
It didn’t escape notice that …

Trump has turned the presidency into a branding machine that fills his coffers with cash.
He has also become the grand dispenser of rent -- deciding by himself which eager rent-seekers receive government benefits and subsidies.
In January 2016, Trump explained why he had been so generous to both parties with campaign donations.
“I’ve got to give to them, because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass,” he said
I just updated the prints on my office door to reflect the kind of photos (particularly event photos) that I am taking now -- as well the the new system which supersedes "three sided cards" that attains better branding in every respect except that it doesn't have a name (yet) #photo #photography
