"Social media algorithms amplify right-wing content against young users’ preference"
I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user.
Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it.

From yesterday. One more time: you cannot trust Meta, more so than any other scheming, prevaricating, leaching, corrupt AI or tech company.
Apple said "it plans to change its Mac operating system to make it more obvious when AI agents ask to access all of the data on Macs."
Reuters: Apple says it will flag AI requests for Mac data after Meta's Muse draws complaints https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/apple-says-it-will-flag-ai-requests-mac-data-after-metas-muse-draws-complaints-2026-10-02/ @Reuters #Apple #privacy #Meta #surveillance
But in all seriousness:
I grew up with: "don't share your personal details online"
Nowadays they want to require us to verify ourself every step of the way, to "protect" us from dangerous places(in this case)
The solution is SIMPLE: Go after the "dangerous places" and make them safe again, one way or another
Because at the end of the day we all know those unsafe places are platforms from #Meta, #Twitter and other big tech

If personal ai agents start spam calling businesses en mass to ask questions or try to make orders, I guarantee you many of those businesses will de-list their phone numbers; especially restaurants.
It will completely overload small businesses with needless dumb questions. These people who are pushing this have never worked a customer service job in their lives.

Kochani, z przyjemnością informuję, że gównowacenie Facebooka weszło na zupełnie nowy level. W tej odsłonie Zuck wypisuje się z internetu, bo nie może być tak, żeby ludzie spontanicznie publikowali linki do obcych stron. Dwa na miesiąc mają wystarczyć! Ale to nie koniec!
Jesteście ciekawi, po ile są te subskrypcje? No więc podstawowa za 190 zł/miesiąc daje - uwaga - osiem linków miesięcznie! Jest też wariant esencyjny (Essential) za 58,99 zł w którym są tylko ucałowania dla Zuckerberga, wariant Ekspert za 559 zł a w nim 20 linków, lecz największym hiciorem będzie pakiet Max za 1900 zł/miesiąc a w nim "Nieograniczona liczba zgłoszeń z udziałem specjalistów z działu pomocy". Tak! Tak!!!
Oto po raz pierwszy "AI" będzie oznaczało "Actually Indian".
Mocna rzecz. Kibicuję tej internetowej secesji z całego serca!

Meta is disputing a journalist's claim that its Muse AI agent read his private Messages without permission. Meta says reading Messages is opt-in and requires Full Disk Access plus a Messages connector, several manual macOS steps. The journalist says Full Disk Access was off when it happened.
So what: don't grant AI agents Full Disk Access or Messages access, and review what you've allowed in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

È una follia: nessun paese democratico affida la sicurezza dei cittadini alla coscienza dei consigli di amministrazione. In pratica, l'America ha rinunciato a governare l'intelligenza artificiale
AI in the age of Trump: now the regulators are being regulated.
At the White House, the tycoon handed over the most powerful technology of the century to companies that reap its profits: OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta & co. It’s madness: no democratic country entrusts the safety of citizens to the conscience of boards of directors. In effect, America has relinquished control of artificial intelligence.

Facebook/Meta are now demanding a monthly fee from owners of Facebook Pages to post links to outside sites:
https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/facebook-pages-get-charged-for-link-posts/830743
The monthly fee Meta are demanding for posting links on Facebook Pages is quite astonishing:
US$50 per month for 8 links
US$150 per month for 20 links
US$500 per month for unlimited links
This is many times more than the cost of running your own website, cloud and social media server all put together. Independence is much cheaper and better.

Question for people living in countries where the #GDPR applies*:
I'm in Denmark. After twice encountering hospital staff wearing connected camera-glasses I contacted our regional #healthcare system. They're now thinking of how to regulate this.
As a simple ban in a long policy document is unlikely to be effective I'm looking for practical examples of how other healthcare facilities handle this.
So if you have any examples of best practice, please share!

i've decided i'm gonna get even sillier with the fedipact account now
i mean it was already pretty silly before. like posting nudes with "fedipact" written across my tits and boosting them on here levels of silly
but i mean EVEN SILLIER
as in... lyric and music posting mainly i guess
funny how that's a step up for me lol
"Then, yesterday, I was having a conversation with my Primary Technology podcast co-host, Stephen Robles, about the new iPhones. Moments later, I got a push notification from Muse suggesting that the conversation we were having would make for a good column and offered to put together research for me to write about. It even flagged a message from my editor about having a column ready for Monday.
Not only had I not asked it to do that sort of thing, I never gave it permission to read my messages. In fact, I remember explicitly choosing not to let it have access to my messages, calendar, and other personal information.
Stranger still was what happened when I asked Muse how it knew. It told me it didn’t have access to my message history at all. Instead, it said the Muse app on my Mac was simply passing along the text of incoming notification banners.
“When a notification pops up on your paired Mac, the text of that notification gets relayed to me—basically what you’d see in the banner itself,” Muse told me.
It went even further. “I can’t open your Messages app, scroll threads, or read history. It’s the incoming notification stream only, not access to your texts.”
Except that wasn’t true.
I did a little digging. Muse does sync your messages from the local Messages database and uploads that information as a data source. On my device, it had been activated and synced to row 187,462 of my Messages database. I’m not sure how many messages that equates to, but it’s obviously more than whatever Muse told me about what it was doing.
Which, honestly, is the point. I never gave it permission to do that. And, more importantly, I never would do so on purpose."

And speaking of Meta Muse: I wonder if anyone on the board at Meta has figured out yet that Mark Zuckerberg has become toxic to the brand. His face and his name are associated with loss of privacy, dishonesty, and forced opt-in.
If the Meta board would decide to oust Zuckerberg and publicly denounce him, they might have some opportunity to recuperate the brand names they manage.
But right now, Zuckerberg is the very face of user exploitation.
Ralf Stockmann: "Die angezeigte Reichweite von Postings auf kommerziellen Plattformen ist nur ausgedacht..."
Meta shouldn't be the one to decide this. and who's terrorism are they monitoring anyway?
Meta's McCarthy "wrote that while the consortium welcomed the experts’ insights on violent trends, it no longer desired their scrutiny on the effectiveness of Big Tech’s efforts to curtail violence."
"The committee would be barred from weighing in on key topics such as the consortium’s performance and making recommendations together as a group. Its role as a watchdog would be neutered, advisers believed."

Problemen med AI eller rättare sagt stora språkmodeller (LLM) är inte att vi kan dödas av artificiell intelligens som börjat tänka själv. Helt enkelt för att det inte är möjligt att de ska kunna tänka själva eller vara självmedvetna. Det bara ser ut så då LLM:er använder vanligt språk som ett programmeringsspråk. Självlärande program har dock funnits mycket länge men de har tidigare bara använt språk som specialskrivit för att vara programmeringsspråk.
