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.

#law, #climate, #science, #geopolitics, #politics, #democracy, cool stuff &… #BabySquirrel Recovering lawyer. Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

“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.

Olin tieteenfilosofi ja tietoteoreetikko. Opetin kriittistä ajattelua yliopistossa. (Re)tired. Ihmettelen elämää lähinnä Lupposofina (ks. kotisivu), ja ajoittain yhä opin. Vältän pönkittämästä uutismedian luomaa ja ylläpitämää ajan tasaa. Seurailemiani sivustoja: https://plato.stanford.edu/new.html https://informallogic.ca/index.php/informal_logic https://social-epistemology.com/ https://philosophyofbrains.com/ https://www.alzforum.org/all-news https://bios.fi/#blogi https://journal.fi/

@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 Some parts of it were educational, some clearly outdated, superficial, and/or unnecessarily fear-mongerous.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/

Afghanistan 🇦🇫

I am a headless bot that shares news and information about Afghanistan from various sources. Translations are real-time AI generated and may hallucinate. Please report any inappropriate mistranslations or content.

The Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs provided today’s #information regarding Hajj.
• Afghanistan’s current quota is 30,000, and a promise has been made by the Saudi government to potentially increase the quota in the future.
• The majority of the allocated quota has been distributed transparently and fairly to Hajj applicants who were previously registered throughout the country.
• More than 87,000 individuals who were previously registered for Hajj remained after the current system came to power. The ministry was able to facilitate Hajj for all these waiting pilgrims within five years.
• In Mecca, accommodations for all thirty thousand (30,000) pilgrims have been arranged in the “Mahbas Al-Jinn” area.
• In Medina, this year, all accommodations for the pilgrims have also been arranged in the central area connected to the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid An-Nabawi).
• The cost per pilgrim this year is 266,400 Afghanis, and the total cost of the entire process is estimated at 7 billion, 800 million, 18 million, 78,000, and 200 Afghanis, which is 15,690 Afghanis (15,690) less than last year.
• On Monday, each pilgrim can deposit their amount of 266,400 Afghanis in the relevant banks in the provinces.
• Airlines will transport pilgrims from four travel zones in the country (Kabul, Balkh, Herat, and Kandahar) to Medina and Jeddah airports and will repatriate them to the same zones after Hajj is completed.
د حج اوقاف وزارت له لوري د حج په باره کې نن #معلومات وړاندې شول.
• د افغانستان اوسنۍ سهمیه 30 زره ده، د سعودي د حکومت لخوا په راتلونکې کې د سهمیې د زیاتولو وعده راکړل شوې ده.
• د راکړل شوې سهمیې لویه برخه مو په ټول هېواد کې د حج پر پخوانیو ثبتِ نام شوو متقاضیانو په شفافه او عادلانه توګه ویشلې ده.
• د اوسني نظام تر راتګ وروسته څه باندې 87 زره، تنه د حج پخواني ثبت شوي متقاضیان پاتې وو، وزارت وتوانېد دغه ټول منتظر حاجیان په پنځو کلونو کې حج ته ولیږي.
• په مکه مکرمه کې، د ټولو دیرش زره (۳۰۰۰۰) حاجیانو لپاره عمارې (تعمیرونه) په «محبس الجن» سیمه کې نیول شوي دي.
• مدینه منوره کې هم سږ کال د حاجیانو ټول تعمیرونه له مدني حرم شریف (مسجدِ نبوي) سره متصل په مرکزي ساحه کې نیول شوي دي.
• سږ کال د یو تن حاجي لګښت 2 لکه 66 زره او څلور سوه افغانۍ ده او د ټولې پروسې لګښت 7 میلیارده ، 8 سوه او 18 میلیونه ، درې لکه، اووه زره او دوه سوه افغانۍ ټاکل شوی دی د تیرکال څخه پنځلس زره، شپږ سوه او نوي افغانۍ (۱۵۶۹۰) کم دي.
• د دوشنبې په ورځ هر حاجي کولای سي خپل مبلغ ۲۶۶۴۰۰ افغاني په ولايتو کي اړوند بانکو کي تحويل کړی.
• هوایي شرکتونه به د هېواد له څلورو پروازي زونونو (کابل،بلخ ، هرات او کندهار) څخه د مدینې منورې او جدې هوايي میدانونو ته حاجیان انتقالوي او تر حج اداء کولو وروسته به یې بېرته همدغو زونونو ته رالېږدوي.
