„A sweeping crackdown on posts on #Instagram and #Facebook that are critical of Israel — or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians — was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023.“

Two excellent pieces of #AI #criticism by - checks notes - a business reporter and a prof. Both highlight the shortcomings of the many AI boosterism pieces by some tech journalists:

1. TL;DR: #Apple is right not to ship crappy AI to customers.

2. TL;DR:AI is mid but mid in the hands of the powerful will screw you.

Mal wieder was Foto-technisches. Und zwar geht es um #Bildbearbeitung. Das erste Bild ist unbearbeitet, Nummer 2&3 habe ich in #Darktable "entwickelt". Welche Variante gefällt Dir; und warum? Konstruktive #Kritik erwünscht!

Something photo-technical again. And it's about #image editing. The first picture is unedited, number 2&3 I “developed” in #Darktable. Which version do you like; and why? Constructive #criticism welcome!

Berglandschaft in Norwegen. Der Himmel ist mit dunklen Wolken behangen, man sieht aber auch blau zwischedurch schimmern. Es ist Spätherbst und dementsprechend ist die die Szene stark eingefärbt: gelb, orange und braun-grüne Farben dominieren das Bild. Am Horinzont sieht man mehrere Berge und dazwischen verläuft ein Talgrund, welcher von einem Fluss ins Gelände gefressen wurde. Mountain landscape in Norway. The sky is covered in dark clouds, but you can also see blue shimmering in between. It is late autumn and the scene is accordingly very colorful: yellow, orange and brown-green colors dominate the picture. Several mountains can be seen on the horizon and between them runs a valley floor that has been carved into the terrain by a river.

France's #research minister Philippe Baptiste said a #French #scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an #airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed #criticism of the #US administration. A diplomatic source told that the incident occurred on 9 March.

“I have said it before and I will say it again: there is no greater threat to free speech in our society than #Israel and the western governments who support it. #Civil #rights are being stomped out throughout the western world to shut down all criticism of Israel”

"Years of tech #criticism and critical coverage feels like it’s getting erased in this pendulum swing. Responsible tech movements were pushing on all the levers—code, policies, markets, norms. But we haven’t been radical enough. We haven’t addressed the root causes of this latest form of power agglomeration.

[...] But Troy is going to fall whether you heed Cassandra’s warnings or not."
