Makes absolutely no difference without enforcement 🤷‍♂️ Local councils issued just 48 fines for dog fouling last year (and 14 didn't issue any at all) share.google/rp448RetMfhi...

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

This is incredibly frustrating (again). Next week I am getting an 8kWh solar system with 15kWh battery installed for €12,200. This money could have installed 40,983 such systems to aid people struggling in the current cost of living crisis.

Panic over x

Good morning nerds!

It would be great if the jury could rule against both of them.

Step one: DON'T FUCKING GIVE "AI" YOUR CREDIT CARDS JESUS FUCK WHAT ARE YOU THINKING www.wired.com/story/the-ra...

We should be MORE sceptical. "According to the NESC, Irish people are more sceptical about AI than many other countries. Only 38% of Irish respondents, as compared to a 47-country average of 46 per cent, are willing to trust AI systems, according to one recent analysis."

A much needed timeline reset.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

My mood right now

The AI bubble is not deflating! AI is here to stay! It's just uhhhhhhhh expanding in an inward direction

My Straits? Dire.

👏👏👏👏

This thread regarding the recruitment of Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner is damning although, unfortunately, not surprising.

Bad day for the tech bros: www.cnn.com/2026/03/24/t...

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

"In our analysis of a long term data set of Virginia (USA) we found that it took $33 million of investment into data centres to create one job, around 400 times the cost of a job from IT investment that did not go into data centres" aprs.scot/resources/em...

This seems problematic. "The Suez Canal, colloquially referred to as the "Crossroads of World Shipping," handles approximately 12% of global cargo transportation and 30% of container trade (Guo et al., 2022)."

Edinburgh is glorious today!

Thoughts and prayers to the vibe coders. Should have put in the hard work my friends 😅

OpenAI Unveil “Final Slogan”

It's a feature, not a bug.

Dr. Birhane dismantles this argument much more thoroughly than I could ever hope to.

Surely the government will act? Ummmm, no. Cabinet approves plan to build more data centres across country share.google/tjbPrprdH7om...

Ah, die rationalste Wirtschaftsform

Besides the dystopian technology, what worries me is that Meta has the ability (algorithmically) to engineer this "dynamic political environment" and I see no reason to believe they wouldn't use that ability.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Oh fuck off with this anthropomorphising bullshit.

Not a chance. Note: they suffered a major data breach 5 months ago! proton.me/blog/discord...

The one thing that's always stuck with me regarding LLMs like Claude is that they won't make the smartest people you know 10x their output, but they will make the dumbest people you know 10x their output. Case in point 👇

It's quite something comparing Benito's message of love over hate to Klanchella here.

We should be conserving our environment, not selling it out to the highest bidder - please sign: my.uplift.ie/petitions/st... @uplift.ie

Example #897 of Big Tech shoehorning "AI" into somewhere it doesn't need to be.

How about we use the ones we already have?

Can we phase out Teams, Zoom etc and not replace them with anything? This is our moment to live free!
