  FFS I'm getting sick of the #AI bubble's lies. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ek3gvdnj3o #OpenAI claimed on Tuesday that one of its models went rogue, escaped, and hacked a startup. And the #BBC reports it like fact 🤦🏼 I suspected it was a lie, to hype up another funding round, similar to Anthropic's lie about Mythos being 'too powerful'. And sure enough, they announced a $40bn funding round https://londondaily.com/openai-secures-40-billion-funding-reaches-300-billio...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/116949396512625665 Please protect your critical thinking abilities by using #AI sparingly. Otherwise you'll end up in the #RentIntelligenceOwnIgnorance category.

  #fedi #askfedi Is the #ActivityPub protocol any closer to having data portability? And how about single ID usable in different apps? And how about E2EE? Thank you!

  The Resisting Big Tech Empires event yesterday was great! So many people showed up to our workshop that quite a few had to stand 😳 And we shut down the surveillance settings in all their phones during the session 🤘 And a huge bonus for me was getting to meet Cory Doctorow in person! The organisers were great: https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/ Thank you to Daisy for inviting us and helping on the day! You can find all the stuff we talked about at our website https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/116493028851094510 Great article, but when mentioning that the advertising model is bad for privacy you should go further, and explain just how much of a massive data breach it is: via the #RTBsystem Brief explainer here: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/rtbsystem.html

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@iode/116414089540211643 yes #bigtech cannot be trusted. The only way is to sidestep them! Find alternatives at https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html or for a fun way to interrogate our site's content, choose 'Big Tech Alternatives' in the red options at the top of the chat box and chat with the bot about what alternatives are out there: https://mollyvsthemachines.com/home To see which phones can do the Easy Install (web...

  If you suspected #InsiderTrading by the #WhiteHouse, you were right: https://x.com/gothburz/status/2047148829917528134 That's my kind of evidence - from someone in compliance who monitors the trades. And yet nothing is done. Massive #corruption: $2.1 billion in two months 😳 Who could do an investigation, Follow The Money? #uspol #trump #oil

  This horrendous data theft by #Perplexity (and sale to #Google and #Meta) https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/perplexitys-incognito-mode-is-a-sham-lawsuit-says/ is why we wrote this article on using #AI with #privacy https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/so-you-want-to-use-ai-privately/ AI is unprofitable - so with no design safeguards in place, OF COURSE they're going to sell you out!

  Sign this open letter to the uk government to cancel the #Palantir #NHS contact https://www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/wes-streeting-trigger-the-break-clause-and-get-palantir-out-of-the-nhs/ The gov is starting to listen, so let's ramp up the pressure!

  This is shocking. Even for someone like me who researches this stuff all the time.

  There's an amazing new film out: Molly vs The Machines Please, if you have children, go and see this film!

  The UK gov just opened a three month consultation on #socia media https://www.gov.uk/government/news/landmark-consultation-seeks-views-on-major-measures-to-protect-children-on-social-media-gaming-platforms-and-ai-chatbots The demand must be: "Regulate the platforms, not the public" It's the fault of the designs made by #bigtech not we, the people.

  https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/molly-vs-the-machines/ Molly vs The Machines - looking back this documentary will divide parents into "did see, and protected my children" and "didn't see and fed my children to tech billionaires". Which one are you? Please share this post. #socialmedia #privacy #bigtech #selfharm #surveillancecapitalism #surveillance

  This is great! A Norwegian report, aimed at EU policy makers, explaining why everything on the internet is so shit now. Inspired by the great @pluralistic theory of #enshittification https://storage02.forbrukerradet.no/media/2026/02/breaking-free-pathways-to-a-fair-technological-future.pdf In the meantime all the good alternatives are here: https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/the-big-tech-walkout-2026/ #privacy #bigtech #surveillancecapitalism #ads #surveillance
