IF you are going to do #AI, this is the way to do, it using an actually verified #knowledge base not using everything any yahoo has ever said on the #Internet. Of course it is still not #intelligence just #information retrieval. "The museum says MUSEO operates within a closed language model using only museum-approved research and exhibition materials rather than searching the open internet. Staff members regularly monitor and update the system, according to the museum." https://ottawacitizen.com/news/canadian-museum-of-history-ai-chatbot

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/116912711446949016 This is one of many hundreds of excellent articles on SubStack that are available for free. They are reasons why I love to read the best of what SubStack has to offer. #resources #information #interesting

Une pétition circule pour dire non à Chat Control je vous mets le lien en dessous. Protéger les enfants c'est leur excuse pref alors qu'on sait très bien qu'iels en ont rien à faire. Tracer les minorités et opposant.e.s à terme et faciliter les répressions c'est ça le vrai objectif. Faut rien lâcher et réfléchir à comment contrer ça.

The Public Information Archive (aka the crowdfunded torrent server dishing up all the stuff the Epstein Regime deleted) has been going strong 24/7 since August 2025. 21 new torrents of fresh endangered data have been added.

The Trump administration is deleting government data. From infant deaths to hunger, here are 5 ways it’s hurting Americans This information was used to understand the problems Americans face. The consequences of its erasure, experts warn, could affect generations to come. #GovernmentData #information #data https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/may/07/trump-administration-deleting-data

“The Court cannot conclude this Opinion without noting once again what this case is really about: the attempt by the Secretary of #Defense to #dictate the #information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears & sees only what the Secretary & the #Trump Administration want them to hear & see,” Friedman appointee wrote. #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreeSpeech #press #journalism #FourthEstate #Hegseth #dictatorship #fascism #propaganda

@asanpin@defcon.social Done. Mixed feelings. To concentrate solely on FIMI does not sound wise. In the USA DIMI is at present the most urgent problem (Domestic Information Manipulation and Interference), which has already halted research necessary for informed citizens in a democracy, and IMI in general is dangerous, no matter its source. In Finland, we don't usually speak about "democracies", because the actual distribution of political power is more important itself, and comes in degrees. Some NATO-countries, e.g, are not democratic, and some even oligarchic, or at least act like ones. There is no "West" or "the democratic world" but in some not so democratic ruler's and marketer's jargon. That jargon manifests itself maybe too much in the WFW-report. Some parts of it were educational, some clearly outdated, superficial, and/or unnecessarily fear-mongerous. The Alan Turing report is on quite another level with its delailed scenarios for influence in Ch. 5, https://www.turing.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2020-10/epistemic-security-report_final.pdf With respect to the AI-danger there have been proposals for an IPCC-like body to steer and regulate at least something, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01606-9 but guess which former "democracy" just dissociated itsef from even the original IPCC? And referring to, e.g, the dual-use problem, guess who frustrated at least part of the EU AI-Act, https://corporateeurope.org/en/2023/02/lobbying-ghost-machine My advice for most everybody would be to stop using tools which use you, and maybe instead start to read real texts, preferably more than 10 pages long. Important things don't come easily, and the hustle we constantly feel, isn't ours. I go back to my primary reading, thanks for the opportunity to think aloud, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/attention/ #cognitiveWarfare #information #ai #democracy #usa #ipcc #aiAct #propaganda #disinformation
