Backing up Spotify
We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million…

Il debito non pagato dell'intelligenza artificiale: come gli scraper LLM distruggono il contratto sociale dell'open source
Le grandi aziendi di #IntelligenzaArtificiale #LLMs hanno divorato tutti i nostri dati, ma il danno che ha arrecato alle comunità open source e della cultura libera è particolarmente insidioso. Approfittando di chi condivide liberamente, distruggono il patto che ha permesso al software libero di diffondersi a macchia d'olio.

“Flock's ambitions go far beyond license-plate surveillance,” EFF’s @cooperq@masto.hackers.town told @404mediaco@mastodon.social. “Flock's goal isn't to catch stolen cars, their goal is to have total surveillance of everyone all the time." https://www.404media.co/flock-exposed-its-ai-powered-cameras-to-the-internet-we-tracked-ourselves/

"We don't want people scraping GitHub"
I mean sure... Microsoft wants the exclusive rights to scrape GitHub for themselves.

Monitor AI per i bagni? Benvenuti nelle nuove scuole superiori sorvegliate in America
Le scuole di tutti gli Stati Uniti stanno implementando tecnologie di sorveglianza basate sull'intelligenza artificiale, tra cui droni, riconoscimento facciale e persino dispositivi di ascolto in bagno. Ma non ci sono molti dati che dimostrino la loro efficacia nel garantire la sicurezza dei bambini.

Flock ha esposto le sue telecamere basate sull'intelligenza artificiale a Internet. Ci siamo tracciati da soli
"Sul mio telefono, mi vedo in tempo reale mentre la telecamera registra e trasmette in streaming live – senza password o login – sulla rete internet aperta. Entro nell'incrocio, fisso la telecamera e saluto con la mano. Nel live streaming, riesco a vedermi chiaramente."

Il mio ultimo video "Kiisu: il Flipper Zero dei poveri" è stato rimosso da youtube a pochi minuti dalla sua pubblicazione, costringendomi a caricarne una versione ristretta e altamente censurata nella speranza di evitare ulteriori ripercussioni sul canale.
Beh sapete cosa?
L'ho ri-caricato su PeerTube nella sua interezza e senza censure.
Fuck You, Tube.
Buona visione!

If the end goal for these companies is to end consumer access to computing technologies only to sell them as services, like how the housing market has been going for a long time, then we need government regulation more than ever to prevent that. Representative governments should not be allowing consolidization of corporations, especially with such dependent offerings, to monopolize entire industries because it is a hazard to public development and maintainability. Outside of govs blocking deals and prosecuting top level executives for collusion, the employees would need to rise up and starve the beast of air to put an end to it. That is a harder and riskier route. Consumer boycotts won't work. Greed is a powerful enemy.
In the end, we may get the Cyberpunk future that some of us wanted.

It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.
