The media reports that An Garda Síochána will roll out body-worn cameras nationwide, without publishing the final report on the pilot. It’s not enough to simply say they are useful. We need to see evidence and we need to consider the risks and how they are controlled. www.iccl.ie/news/questio...

I am reading Empire of AI atm and this just makes me think it’s a marketing ploy given that AGI is not only a fever dream but also deeply fucked up and eugenicist. They are just trying to dance around the fact they are evil cunts

can’t believe I saw an over 2.5 hour set by big thief

A very thorough thread! Interesting to see how much gov are willing to shill for Microsoft, but I guess not so shocking when you realise the director of Public Policy of Microsoft Ireland is a former government advisor

Ná cuir iallach orm an comhartha a thapáil

I swear I am nice to him
