🔥 Reminder: AI systems are NOT neutral; they will reflect the ideology of their creators (as with any technology). Critical thinking remains an ESSENTIAL skill.

If you think the next big idea in your field will come from inside the field, you're probably wrong.

Il nuovo testo dell'emendamento #PiracyShield non ha nessun senso.
In che senso dovrà essere il @Registroit dei domini a sbloccare i siti???
Voto previsto oggi, con la fiducia.
Ci sarà anche l'obbligo per gli ISP di segnalare alle autorità ogni «tentativo» (!) di pirateria.

Regional cookbooks are more than recipes—they're a window into our shared cultural traditions and histories. Preserving these practical guides ensures future generations can savor the stories of our past. 🍲📚 #VanishingCulture

Nel nuovo #PiracyShield si vorrebbe rimuovere il requisito che un indirizzo IP da bloccare sia "univocamente" destinato ad attività illegali.
Soggetti privati potranno quindi bloccare qualsiasi IP in modo istantaneo e permanente senza nemmeno considerare gli effetti collaterali.

In a new correspondence in @Nature, I argue that regulations should mandate data access for social media researchers:

'The AI-will-replace-us-all-one-day frenzy is a form of propaganda designed to demoralize workers over a future that may never arrive. Instead, our focus should be on where AI is actually deployed today - that is, in the realm of worker surveillance' 👇

Nobody: I've always wanted to know exactly how linear discriminant analysis works.

Without notice, X has opted all users into training its "Grok" AI Model. To turn off this setting and stop your "posts, interactions, inputs, and results" from being used for training and fine-tuning Grok, visit x.com/settings/grok_settings and uncheck the checkbox.

⚠️ Sono di nuovo in giro database contenenti dati 🇮🇹 (nome, cognome, codice fiscale, numero di telefono, e-mail).
Questo per ricordare sempre due cose: se vi chiama un call center sconosciuto è perché i vostri dati sono arrivati/stati comprati a/da loro.
E, soprattutto, se non è indispensabile, non lasciate i vostri recapiti in giro. Vale anche per i test "che ortaggio sei" e "quale è il tuo nome da pornostar" 😶

If Mark Twain was alive today, he would have said "Lies, damn lies, and Data Science". Data Science is due for a reckoning with ritualistic ML. Here is how to keep your data scientists accountable.

The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems. Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers.
@Microsoft @MicrosoftTeams posted on a bug tracker full of volunteers that their issue is "high priority"
