What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

From today’s New Zealand Herald: ‘The Trojan Horse of the Far Right’. I think we can rest assured that the Kiwis have got the measure of @ThePosieParker

If you take out all the platitudes and quips, there’s so little substance to the birdsite . Much more valuable engagement in Mastodon and Post these days

Okay, taking a few moments to reat (some of) the #gpt4 paper. It's laughable the extent to which the authors are writing from deep down inside their xrisk/longtermist/"AI safety" rabbit hole. >>

@Carnage4Life Such a bad take. Chris is in no way claiming that’s their aim. Pursuing (any) technology without a systemic view of its impact is an absolutely valid critique. Otherwise you end up dismissing all ethical tech. Key AI ethicists have lost their jobs to that mentality

@Currofile Depende de las actividades que quieras. Si es la mayoría del tiempo en un resort relax y playa; Fuerteventura. Si el hotel es comer/dormir y el resto en excursiones, pues Tenerife (tours/parques mas guiados) o La Palma (a tu propio itinerario)

¿Que destino recomendáis para vacaciones familiares en Canarias con niños (3 + 8 años), en hotel con pension completa. :-)

If Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Jeff Gerth, et. al., were actually concerned with consequential misrepresentations/outright lies by national media, they would be all over this Dominion/Fox News story. Instead, crickets.

YES! My friend and colleague, @marencosta – who Amazon also illegally fired for organizing tech workers on climate justice and standing with warehouse workers – is running for Seattle City Council District 1!! She will be fierce fighting for all of us! 👉🏼thestranger.com/slog-am/2023/0…

@marencosta I think @aaronbrethorst you now live in West Seattle also? I know Maren, she’d get my vote if I lived there!

Today I announced my run for Seattle City Council Dist 1. I'm so excited to make my fight for workers, families, and climate justice my day job, not just my side gig. Join me! 😃✊🏽🌍💚🙏🏽 votemaren.com

@marencosta Amazing 🤩 best luck on the race 💥

Critical journalism is paywalled but disinformation is free. What do we expect to happen?

A reminder that in November, Elon Musk fired “the entirety” of Twitter’s Brazil content moderation team. That will be important. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

Oops! I did again, @washingtonpost: I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.” And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark. wapo.st/3VHo2Qg

"I lay in bed for two solid days and cried so much my eyes swelled shut." If you haven't been following the wave of harassment against librarians, this piece will get you up to speed. codastory.com/rewriting-hist… And be sure to follow @FReadomFighters for ways to support librarians.

It’s been >4h since @molly0xFFF entered the thunderdome vs JS Date(), no tweets since then. Should we be worried? Where I’ll get my crypto fix from??

@Carnage4Life I also noticed my feed much quieter, esp. the EU tech folks I follow… Only scheduled campaigns and a few actual people posts. Could be holidays or people tired of the LonE SmuK antics

THE ELONJET FILES: incredible reporting by @TaylorLorenz and @drewharwell this is the story that taylor asked elon for comment on, which resulted in her getting suspended 👀 and bc i’m a washington post subscriber, i can gift you all this article: wapo.st/3FZVw7I

Wild. @PaulG got suspended (for *sending folks to his website for a link to his mastadon). This is gonna get really, really interesting. PG is SV royalty.

@Naelhedel @AuerSusan TBF By May, this site probably won’t be a major platform to qualify for this regulation, given LonE SkuM expert steering

@AuerSusan Sadly, this also says that these won't be applicable until May 2023. Which while not *that* far, is still way too long :/

I just checked with the other hip social media platform, called the European Union, and looks like their TOS override Twitter's TOS. 😈 commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-p…
