No Tech for Apartheid - a presentation by Tobi and Eslem Demirel and moderated by @jayapapaya x @nym from Neocypherpunk Summit. "Right now we are in the midst of the first AI-powered genocide in the history of humankind. There is no longer a separation between Big Tech companies and government. Today, Big Tech is supplying the military with the most advanced tools to optimise surveillance, targeting and killing. The Pentagon proudly presents Palantir's latest 3-point click tool to execute a manual kill-chain." Listen to the whole presentation at: youtu.be/3jFGpXRurYA

The Revolution Will Be Archived: Decentralized Preservation for Accountability and Sovereignty by Rosa Regina Lawrence from @open_archive Around the world, eyewitnesses, journalists, and human rights defenders risk device seizure, arrest, and forced data deletion, which prevents them from preserving and sharing evidence of injustice. If it does survive, this media lives on platforms built for attention and monetization, not archival preservation or community control, relying on a single point of failure vulnerable to censorship, link rot, or shutdowns.

New Neocypherpunk Summit talk just dropped. Self-sovereign genomics: turning biology cypherpunk by @peter_szilagyi x @dark_dot_bio Analysing genomics is currently in it's early phase, dominated by a handful of institutions. As sequencing costs are dropping, more and more people gain access to their genome, but soon realise they have nothing to do with it. Whilst much of the research itself is public, there is no place where that materialises in a usable / reusable way. Watch it here: youtu.be/_P4WqEEZaww
