❗The Commission wants EU countries to adopt a “fall back” clause in their AI Act sanction regimes, ensuring all violations are enforceable, incl. with specific sanctions on AI literacy, fundamental rights impact assessments, and the right to explanation. www.mlex.com/mlex/article...

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

here's a good overview of the anti-Trump dissident movement and how it's growing at a robust rate wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer...

This is insane. What will #globsoc2025 and the rest of Europe wake up to tomorrow? Via @benansell.bsky.social

It's a real bad day for democracy: - Law enforcement forcibly removes U.S. Senator from a Cabinet member's press conference - SecDef refuses to promise to abide by court rulings - SecHome uses language of occupation and liberation to describe domestic law enforcement tasks This is coup behavior

BREAKING: SENATOR PADILLA HANDCUFFED AND THROWN TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM PRESS CONFERENCE.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Someone please send me a great article about Microsoft shutting off the ICC immediately, in compliance to Trump? #globsec2025

Autocracy has no concern for human life. Zelenskyy asked us to think of this not only with respect to Russia or morality, but as security. He basically called for total war of economic and social exclusion against autocracy. Meanwhile #globsec2025 had to fall back from Bratislava to Prague.

Once again, will microblog on masto. a) I can edit, b) believe it or not, I try not to generate too much traffic here. #globsec2025

Is there already a good essay / manifesto about how members of the entity formerly known as GAFAM should choose between compliance with an entity defending human rights, the ecosystem, and the rule of law (which secures their payments) or one against all those things? #AIEthics #digitalGovernance

I'm at @globsec.bsky.social where among other things I'm meant to discuss "Leverage cloud technologies, including sovereign cloud models, to support secure and autonomous digital infrastructure." It sounds like "Leverage Russian nationals, including patriots, to patrol NATO's borders." MAYBE clever…

"Those classifiers should prevent prompt injections from ever reaching M365 Copilot’s underlying LLM. Unfortunately, this was easily bypassed simply by phrasing the email that contained malicious instructions as if the instructions were aimed at the recipient." #agenticAI gegen #cybersecurity

“The city decided it would rigorously audit its system to try to catch such biases …But …what it actually means for an algorithm to be fair, is a matter of fierce debate.”

Graham (R-S.C.) pressed on whether Putin would stop. “I don’t believe he is,” going to stop, Caine said. Hegseth said it “remains to be seen.” Graham shot back: “Well, he says he’s not. This is the ‘30s all over. It doesn’t remain to be seen.” #Ukraine #Hegseth www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Interesting commonalities (targets, voluntary self deportations, hostile environment) and differences (number of false deportations before resignations and outrage) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windrus... UK 2018, vs US 2025

New paper from Laura Lewis and Jan Engelmann et al. (including me) with a clever new method. Chimps and kids will forgo reward to get a chance to look at social interactions royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Glad that @kylierobison.com is here to document a party organized to discuss about the how "the end of humanity as a logistics problem rather than a metaphorical one." Inside the AI Party at the End of the World www.wired.com/story/ai-ris...

Just wanted to share the awe-inspiring map of protests that are scheduled to take place this weekend across the US. The event was scheduled weeks ago but the message resonates now more than ever before! www.nokings.org

If you're interested in political economy and/or the Econ of media, you should definitely apply for this #PreDoc option in #Berlin, with the wonderful @ariannaornaghi.bsky.social ( @hertieschool.bsky.social @bsoeberlin.bsky.social)👇

New study: 17–27 y/o Germans surprisingly willing to pay more tax to fund pensions. But do they grasp the real costs? Co-author @chtraxler.bsky.social urges better financial education & honest debate on reform. #Pensions #Youth #Germany #Finance #MetallRente

"Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism—which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place." - Hunter S. Thompson

"Late last month, the top ICE official overseeing arrests and deportations, Kenneth Genalo, resigned rather than fire deputies for poor performance." Great reporting here www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

It’s about time.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Absolutely grotesque abuse of government power. Lying to educators in order to entrap children. No wonder they want to hide their identity.
