  In case you are falsely feeling protected outside of Europe: Chat Control doesn't just concern Europeans. It concerns all of us. These kind of regulations will come for all of us, everywhere, if we do not ALL push against it everywhere. If you do not understand how this is all intertwined, I invite you to read more privacy news and in-depth analysis. Because we must all support each other's privacy fights. Privacy is a human right 💚 Fight for a better world, together ✊🌍 #ChatContro...

  The problem with the new Apple Watch features isn't just about the technology, it's about the erosion of trust in our society. Even if you don't activate those features on your Apple Watch, even if you wear an older model, and even if you wear a completely different brand of smart watches, people might think you are recording them now. For the same reason I had to carefully choose my new glasses model to make sure they cannot be confused with Meta's Ray-Ban spy glasses, people...

  For anyone tempted to use the newly announced Apple Watch features, despite all the ethical, legal, privacy, and security concerns, Please remember that Apple specifies (in very small print): "Siri Recap summaries and Live Rewind text snippets are generated using Apple Intelligence and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Important details may be omitted, misunderstood, or summarized incorrectly. When accuracy matters, confirm important information with the people involved or another rel...

  Imagine you're having a remote appointment with your doctor for a very personal health issue. Your doctor is a tech enthusiast, and is proudly wearing the new Apple Watch with all the recording features enabled. You don't see the "Audible and visible signals for Live Rewind", because you don't see your doctor's wrist on videochat or on speakerphone. The "Omitted content" safeguard fails to detect the sensitive conversation, because none of the pre-selecte...

  If you live outside of the United States, do you know if your country has a plan if the US government decided to cut access to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon products overnight? What would happen to your work? What would happen to your hospitals? What would happen to your emergency services? What would happen to your banks? Imagine overnight, for all those public services and private businesses, no more Windows, no more AWS, no more Google and Microsoft office software, no more remote files...

  The minimum wage should be tied in percentage to the maximum rent allowed for a one-bedroom apartment. Someone working full-time should be able to cover all their minimal living expenses with their wage. It's a catastrophic society failure that this isn't the case anymore in many places around the world.

  They give you a tool for free. They push you to use it as much as possible. They tell you to abandon the rest. They want you to use the tool for everything. They make you completely dependent. They add a small fee to the tool. They check if you stay... They charge you more for the tool. They check if you stay, fully dependent... They charge you an astronomical fee for the tool. They win. You lose.

  I'm so tired of the AI hype, and I'm so tired of capitalism. Oh wait... 🤔 it's the same thing. #NoAI

  I cannot tell you enough how insulting it is for artists to see any use of AI-generated images. This technology was made from our work, our labour, stolen from us, violating our consent and copyrights. Somehow without any legal consequences, and without any financial compensation made to us, but making billions in profits exploiting us. I feel rage each time I see an AI-generated image. Each time it's a reminder of how much people devalue the hard labour of artists and feel entitled to...

  Sometimes, I see articles or comments that are critical about AI technologies, yet still use an AI-generated image for cover. Why do this? Don't you see this removes all the credibility you might have had? Why? #NoAI

  I had a dream last night that there was a social media app called "Rage" where people go to just aggressively yell at each other. Maybe it's a prescient dream that X is about to get renamed again. #DeleteTwitter #DeleteX #DeleteRage

  The idea of trying to replace human labour without first having put in place some system of universal living income is truly foolish. Only a billionaire could come up with such a stupid idea. #NoAI #LabourRights

  By the way, if you email me or send me a direct message with a question, I always try to reply to everyone, but it will take time (days-weeks). Please be patient 💚 It might take more time if there is a linked video or an article I need to read before I can reply. And sometimes, I simply don't have the time to look at liked material, unfortunately. If you ask me a question by tagging me in a non-private mention post, there is less chance I will reply and more chance it will get lost in my...

  I feel like I'm missing so many mentions these days :blobcatsad: I don't have enough time to look at them regularly, and when I finally take the time to sit down to reply properly (not just quickly on my phone randomly) there are too many! 🫣 All my apologies if I missed one of your message mentioning me. I truly didn't mean to, but alas my resources to reply in a timely manner are limited at this time 💚

  People think a lot about the output they get from AI tools and chatbots. But they don't think enough about the input they give to the AI tools and chatbots. Your input is very likely collected, tagged, evaluated, shared, and reused. Every word, every image, every line of code, every data points you share with them, knowingly or unknowingly. You're not using them. They're using you. #NoAI #Privacy #DigitalRights #MassSurveillance

  Would you prefer a job where: a) Work meetings are never recorded and AI notetakers are never used, but you have to take notes manually occasionally. b) Or a job where meetings are regularly recorded and are using AI notetakers, but you never have to take notes.

  The most fundamental concept to comprehend to understand privacy is consent. The most important concept to comprehend to understand why most AI training data is unethical is consent. Consent is one the least understood concept in our society, yet the most likely to save it. If you have difficulty understanding why privacy is important and why nonconsensual data sets are problematic, start learning more about consent. It will benefit all aspects of your life, and society as a whole as we...

  If a device is recording you and everyone around you, And is sharing all this data with a corporation outside of your control, It is not a "smart" device, It is a spying device. At the very least, you are ethically required to not inflict this surveillance upon others without prior explicit consent. #TechSurveillance #MassSurveillance #Privacy #Consent #RingDoorbell #MetaRayBan #SmartSpeakers

  Friendly reminder that it's not because something is "legal" that it is ethical. And vice versa. Please learn the difference. This is increasingly important.
