AI companies demonstrating how their AI systems are safe, controlled, and will not lead to negative societal implications:

Keep Palantir our of the UK, take action now ⬇️ https://t.co/nrFCNalLke

That visit led to a £240m ‘strategic partnership between Palantir & MOD. Intel committee needs to examine Mandelson’s potential conflict of interests but also the national security consequences as revealed here in @thenerve_news. 2/ https://t.co/Yfx2XZAQF3

Insane detail that emerged in unsealed documents in Bartz v. Anthropic: Dario Amodei wrote a document arguing that the creators behind AI’s training data should get paid. He said: - It was a “real and important concern” that big companies were training on books to “extract

Get Palantir out of the NHS https://t.co/IRLHFyQyIt

@implausibleblog Palantir has secured 24 distinct contracts with UK public institutions. However, when including contract extensions, amendments, and follow-on agreements, the total rises to over 34 across sectors like defense, healthcare, and local government. The overall value of these deals is

The Epstein Sewer I've been a reporter for 40 years more, man and boy, and I can't remember being as shocked by a data dump as reading the Epstein files this morning. Sex with under-age girls. Torture. Snuff jobs. Something like 30 members of the Trump administration or people

MPs! Please come to this. It’s a briefing on Russian interference ahead of the Westminster Hall debate with @dominicgrieve_ @Chris_D_Steele + others. Organised with @allthecitizens. 1.30pm today Portcullis House

This new report shows the havoc AI is already wreaking in the creative sector. Evidence from 10,000 British creatives shows: - 58% of photographers have lost work to AI - 32% of illustrators have lost commissions to AI - 86% of authors say AI has reduced their earnings

I read it. And I'll engage here in good faith. But before I get into substance, I implore you to open the window, touch grass, and let yourself connect with the reality of what’s happening right now. This is a world historical moment. Please recognize what ICE is at this time,

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 1/

We urgently need a parliamentary debate on Palantir. Please sign this & share with your network. Via @allthecitizens & @Change. 1/ (Link below)

I took a closer look at the UK government's new 'AI Skills Hub', and it is insane. It includes 'courses' that are simply links to info pages about PhD programs; 'courses' that are literally just software developer documentation; and 'courses' that don't exist at all. Short 🧵

The UK government paid PwC *£4.1 million* for the AI Skills Hub it launched today. The Skills Hub is essentially propaganda for the AI industry. On launch, it included courses describing the law in the wrong country, and a bunch of re-hashed 'introductions to gen AI' written by

Bringing AI tutors into schools is an absolutely terrible idea. *Far* too little is known about the effects of doing so. What we do know is that chatbots hallucinate, can result in dependence, can negatively impact cognitive skills, and in the most extreme cases have assisted

My point here is that the implementations of AI agents esp in the OS, w the pervasive permissions, insecure MCP architectures, and requirement for data access, undermine Signal’s (and others’) ability to provide privacy via e2ee at the application layer. This is a big problem.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Excellent advice from @ednewtonrex 🙌🏽👇🏽

It is unconscionable to place the onus for any opt-out onto creators @Ollie_ilott. This is not rocket science - copyright law is clear: unless there’s an exception to the law which can be relied on, a licence to use copyright-protected works is required. It is that simple!

Astonishing admission from Ollie Ilott, the Director General for AI in the British government. He says you wouldn't want an opt-out from AI training to be too easy to use, because the primary goal would be to get more work for AI companies to train on 🤯 Let that sink in. This
