RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The Trump campaign raised a record-setting $50.5 million at a fundraiser in Florida last night.

It's the most money raised from a single event in political history – the previous record was $25 million, set by the Biden campaign last month.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: NEW: Polish Government has begun notifying #Pegasus spyware targets.

Remarkable to see the accountability from the new gov.

Unthinkable back in 2021 when we @citizenlab began confirming abuses in #Poland

Is the lack of a blue check the new badge of honor?

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Google Books is full of AI-generated garbage. This is bad for a variety of reasons. One of them is that Google Books ultimately feeds into NGram Viewer, which is a tool academics use to do research on human culture and language

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: There's nothing exceptional about tech policy that makes it harder than any other type of policy requiring deep expertise. If we can do health or nuclear policy, we can do tech policy.

While I share the outrage and anger about the attacked World Central Kitchen team and hope once more for a change in US and EU policy towards Netanyahu/Israel, it also hurts that daily killings of even Palestinian children does not lead to a same degree of anger and condemnation

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: AI IDing human targets in Gaza based on probabilistic stereotypes (37K people!). People familiar w/AI know how inaccurate such assessments are.

Targets' homes are then bombed at night when they (their family, neighbors, pets) are most likely to be home

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: There are tensions between regulating the uses of AI and regulating the technology itself. These are far from resolved, and regulators will have to deal with the issue sooner or later, @MarietjeSchaake observes. https://bit.ly/3xilvFP

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Amazon billed its "Just Walk Out" stores as some triumph of AI. In reality, it was powered by thousands of low-paid Indian workers manually adding up items in your cart as you shopped.

How insanely dystopian. https://gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedly-ditches-just-walk-out-grocery-stores-1851381116

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
