Fun fact: In 2012 Mitt Romney criticized Obama for wasting money on loans to "loser" companies like Solyndra and Tesla. If the government isn't making mistakes it's not taking enough risks.

….which shows how broken the surveillance biz model powering the current centralized tech industry is.
Signal is the nervous system of secure comms globally. We are innovating while big tech is stagnating. Yet we’re fundraising donations while boring apps white labeling big tech cloud APIs are getting billion dollar valuations…
From Meredith Whittaker at #FTFutureodAI Summit this morning: "We haven't set up Signal as a not for profit company to be cute, in a normal company the board would pressuring us to monetise your data and erode privacy; I won't do that."

1. Firms that lure workers with false earnings claims are breaking the law.
@FTC has taken action against @Lyft for deceiving drivers about how much they could expect to earn on its platform.
We've ordered Lyft to stop this conduct & pay $2.1 million.

It’s abhorrent that UnitedHealth couldn’t be bothered to adopt minimum cybersecurity tools to protect the private medical records of one-third of Americans from cyberattacks. I have a bill that would require bare minimum standards to avoid these catastrophes.
We knew the UnitedHealth Group cyberattack from earlier this year was bad. But now we know just how all-encompassing the incident really was. digitaltrends.com/computing/…

.@GretaThunberg joins the Palestinian call to Boycott Chevron: Chevron is fueling Israeli genocide and apartheid, as well as environmental devastation.
As Israel bombs hospitals, homes, and schools, Chevron is supplying it with energy and funding its genocidal war chest. Join the global week of action this week by pledging to #BoycottChevron.

False advertising is such a powerful argument for removing harmful AI products from the market. In 2015 (!), at peak computer vision hype, this strategy led to the removal of skin cancer detection apps plagued w robustness, accuracy & discrimination issues:ftc.gov/news-events/news/pre…

Wow. Huge push by the FTC to crack down on deceptive AI.

if you're frum or people like him, you can easily churn out things that look like ideas to people who don't give a shit.
but if you're trying to make the world better today than it was yesterday, you're obliged you to work more slowly, to seem less productive, to be circumspect.

To the public, Microsoft uses its reputation as an AI & sustainability leader to tell a compelling story: AI will do wonders to help solve the climate crisis. To fossil-fuel firms, Microsoft has a different message: AI will help them drill, baby, drill. 1/ theatlantic.com/technology/a…
