Possible #DSA fine over TikTok’s missing “ad library”. It really will get interesting once people start getting their hands on these repositories (creative+target audience)… and how does it work with black boxes? “EU takes action against TikTok over online content rules” www.ft.com/content/6fee...

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Bertrand du Marais (CNIL), Stephen Almond (ICO), Des Hogan (DPC) discuss “Consent or Pay” models at #GPS25. Given the clear overlap with competition concerns (pricing!), yesterday’s DMA enforcement actions against Apple and Meta provide the ideal backdrop. @iapp.bsky.social #privacy #dataprotection

A powerful reality check delivered by @garymarcus.bsky.social - Generative AI will never evolve into AGI and people have wildly overestimated productivity gains from LLMs. We possibly need to integrate symbolic AI (to reach neuro-symbolic AI) and world models #nextai #ai

@tarekbesold.bsky.social on the Unthinkable panel at #nextai : there seems to be a generational disconnect in terms of attribution (for public works online) and #explainability. Not necessarily due to a new utilitarianism (or lack of respect) but perhaps assuming collective ownership (and trust) #ai

Brilliant Martina Larkin on the Humanity Paradox in the context of #AI: The cold pursuit of labour efficiency has a social cost, as does chasing engagement metrics in digital media. We should instead enhance what makes us human. Human agency is a must. #nextai

The Pebble smartwatch team shares all of the ways Apple limits non-Apple smartwatches on the iPhone. Your smartwatch can’t send texts, respond to notifications or talk to iOS apps unless it’s an Apple Watch. No one is allowed to build a device that connects to an iPhone as well as an Apple device.

most of the time that a blogger uses an AI-generated image to illustrate a post, the decision to use AI makes a bigger statement than the text of the post does

Tech job postings have collapsed to pandemic levels. The media narrative is AI but anecdotally no one seems to be replacing developers with AI tools. This seems more like the effects of pandemic over-hiring still making its way through the system.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Great point. I really hope the UK reform can spare small businesses and their customers (and that it doesn’t keep spreading across the US - beyond annoying/useless/phony, already an insult to basic accessibility guidelines on mobile sites) #privacy

Last night’s #Superbowl #ads showed how entrenched plastic-rich, obesity(cancer?)-inducing food is in US society, with the sad complicity of public figures. From “America runs on Dunkin” to Mountain Dew or fluorescent/poisonous snacks. I cannot think of anything more decadent. #advertising #US #TV

According to a report leaked from European Commission, TikTok's involvement in the interference in Romanian elections may be greatly exaggerated. The declassified intel report are apparently... also greatly based on what TikTok itself provided. Thing is serious - elections were invalidated...

More of the same, a worldwide race to the bottom. And we could also blame ourselves (citizens/consumers) - without massive demand this would not be a dilemma. Either we find a gigantic absorbent mushroom or the planet is doomed.

David Lynch’s “most uncanny talent,” Howard Fishman writes, was his “ability to plug into the socket of our collective unconscious, generating sparks that light up the dark of our waking lives, offering glimpses of the great unknown we carry within.”
