Dr. Steve Mancini, cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Honorary Italian Consul in Pittsburgh, challenges the myth of constant technological evolution. From War Games to #ChatGPT, the principles of cyber threats remain unchanged—but our over-reliance on #technology is making us more vulnerable.

China holds the key to the modern world. The West risks being left behind

Something I learned today. Microsoft Office Clipboard viewer has changed. Now you need to press Windows & V to bring up something called Clipboard History which does exactly the same thing as the old Clipboard viewer except that you need to enable it first. Why? Who knows, but it’s not exactly JAWS-friendly. It took me several attempts to activate it. Not that I use this feature very often but I hope I don’t need to enable it every time I want to use it.

Elkjøp, likely the largest Norwegian based electronics store, is now running ads for Copilot where they speak about how great Recall is. Likely the ad is paid for by Microsoft.
They show the picture below and they talk of how great it is that the machine remembers everything you have done with it (and has the pictures to prove it!).
I guess when you make something that most people do not want, you just push it harder.
Remember that you have a choice to move away from Big Tech.

AI is exposing the deep absurdity of late capitalism. Much of the economy in the West consists of what Graeber called bullshit jobs which are roles that even people performing them struggle to justify. I’d argue these types of jobs are uniquely vulnerable to replacement by AI.

The European Union has announced it is fining Elon Musk's X platform $140 million, saying it breached the Digital Services Act. The 2022 law requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation. The U.S. government has condemned the move, and while Musk has not as yet addressed it, he has shared an X post advocating for a U.S. bill that would allow companies to sue foreign entities over censorship claims. Here's more from NBC.

For his blog, artist and designer @louie writes about how this, and the departure of iPhone designer Jony Ive in 2019, might not be a bad thing. Why?

AI has brought very little value to, well....anything. It's incredibly damaging to the environment, expensive, and the way it's currently being used isn't respectful of privacy nor does it improve the well-being of peoples' lives. Now it's being shoved into pretty much everything.
The sheer volume of money tech companies are willing to "invest" in it really could solve more imminent social crises.

New technologies nearly always have environmental footprints. Today, it's #AI. Yesterday was video steaming (#Youtube, #Netflix, etc).
The important questions are magnitude, where impacts occur in the lifecycle, whether they displace worse impacts, and how policy, design, and operation can mitigate harm.
But as always, it's #capitalism that harm the #environment ans #socialsecurity .
