Portuguese CyberSecurity centre is a joke! The Portuguese Army released a photo where they show their own cybersecurity centre defence with passwords on the walls, ip addresses, network topology and even publicity to real estate company (kudos to @sandra__la )

Portugal in the first lockdown didn’t had PPE and maks. Now it doesn’t have enough syringe needles to vaccinate people. Still we congratulate ourselves for an awesome planning. brilliant!

o cartão do cidadão custou cerca de 7 milhões de euros para ser feito em 2005. entretanto o estado vendeu o cartão (que começou por ser 12€ e está a 20 agora) 33 milhões de vezes (arrecadou uns valentes 600 milhões durante 17 anos) e agora vai custar 9 milhões do PRR a refazer

so went and dig around to find out that Portugal is investing 77m in AI, from EU funds - that's settled then - but it goes to 1 consortium of an AI company based in the States and to 1 other company. both of them are proud of their investors and investments

one of the main 'advertised' project is speech-to-text, which is not particularly AI, but we'll eat that the same way. distilling through their PR's, it's a helpdesk with bots (pretty standard nowadays) to which the PT Gov spent 77m and calls it AI

@quentynblog @a66ot told me it's a security threat because it can read their badge cards. went to the security head and then was denied and seized of entering as hand luggage. the questions i've been asked was if i knew what that thing does and i explicitly said yes and that's why i have it

on the other hand, the consortium feels like a boys club where the Government pays the bills and some jobs. none will probably improve anything and since last November there are no news from that well spent money into AI

Portugal; one of the major media company was hacked. so the ‘community’ delayed reporting the situation and now they send thoughts and prayers - because we’re all in this together. if this was a bank, everyone was crying foul and saying they’re guilt of not protecting themselves

@quentynblog @a66ot options were not to take it or put it on the hold. i only traveled with my backpack; which meant going back to the gate, check in just the flipper (good luck) and then back in. the threat was possibly using it inside the airport - that's what the police told me
