I don’t know if you read the article, but in there it says AI is becoming smarter. My comment was a response to that.

Irrespective of that, you raise an interesting point “it’s about the impact AI has on the world”. I’d argue it’s real impact is quite limited (mind you I’m referring to generative AI and specifically LLMs rather than AI generally), it has a few useful applucations, but the emphasis here is on few. However, it’s being pushed by all the big tech companies and those lobbying for them as the next big thing. That’s what’s really leading to the “impact” you’re perceiving.

This means absolutely nothing. It scanned a large amount of text and found something. Great, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do. Doesn’t mean it’s smart or getting smarter.

Their vision was never utopian to begin with, I don’t think the author knows what it means.

Germany is a huge supporter of Open Source development with https://www.sovereign.tech/. Ministries are quite autonomous and in this case the defence ministry made a dumb decision. Doesn’t surprise me that this ministry in particular is not led by the brightest people.

Violence against the citizenry is what they’re paid for. They’re the executive branch of the government holding the monopoly on vialence.

Great work they’re doing, hope they keep it up. Fucking cowards in the UK government… had they not left the EU, they would not have caved to the US as easily.

Since the US is a country of laws where the administration itself stringently follows the rules, this makes sense.

Agree with you on that, as it is the situation just prolongs suffering in Ukraine. Europe and NATO should properly defend Ukraine, including with troops if necessary. In any case the fear of escalation is bs, because if Russia gets what it wants, it will not stop with Ukraine.

Completely agree on the security guarantees by UK and US and that it’s fucked up they weren’t upheld. When repeating Russia’s talking points you should also point out that they’re BS though. Who cares whether Russia wants that or not, Ukraine is a sovereign state and they can make their own decisions, just like other former UDSSR states.

It wasn’t the case before Trump. What NATO push? Any country is free to decide what alliance it wants to belong to, Russia does not get to decide what its sovereign neighbouring states do.

Please don’t dump Europe and the US together in this context. Neither of them has done as much as it should, I agree with you, but Europe has not turned any of its military aid into loans and it’s not extorting Ukraine for its natural resources now. That’s only the US and it’s completely despicable.

What should happen (should have happened long time ago already, when Israel first illegally “acquired” nukes) is that the US invades Israel.

Indeed, as mentioned in the article.

What? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. I recommend informing yourself before spewing nonsense.

Seriously, the word whistleblower has absolutely no place in this context…

I agree with the sentiment, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend F-Droid, see https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

Illegal in which jurisdiction?

Because The Netherlands are a tax haven… scumbags, in other words

Don’t care, a European Trump supporter is still a Trump supporter

I think something like Twitter hinges on people/organisations being there that are popular for whatever reason. Many people engage with those people’s posts and react to each other. Since there aren’t many such people on Mastodon, there isn’t as much activity.
