Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.
Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration.
Get the hell out of it right now.

@tbridge A great talk that didn’t overlap any other talks I attended. Thanks Tom
Yes! Fascism is out of fashion!

84% of AI projects failing entirely or failing to scale, and 64% of CEO's still throwing money at them.
Pretty obvious what part of the company needs to be replaced.

"Den danske stat står i et nyt milliardudbud til at indkøbe software-licenser og søsætter for første gang et samlet storindkøb af cloud-løsninger. Men det kan være problematisk i en tid, hvor man vil frigøre sig fra amerikanske tech-giganter, lyder det fra ekspert."
Hvad er det #dkpol ikke har forstået?
@Kjaerulv Godt at du er her, Anders!!
It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo
! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

Tesla CEO now spending all his time supporting hateful ideology worldwide.
His political ambitions and projects, such as the election lottery and Twitter acquisition, are funded through loans on his Tesla stock.
If you’re buying a Tesla or charging at a Supercharger you’re financially supporting these efforts.

Sabot in the Age of AI
Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.
iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers. https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine
Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html
Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike https://codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-the-wellms
Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel https://github.com/Fingel/django-llm-poison
KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs. https://codeberg.org/konterfai/konterfai
@avail Nobody needs any actual reason to watch the Concorde - it is reason enough by itself!
This is useful information for Microsoft 365 subscribers. The notification I got about the price rise said nothing about them bundling AI into the new price. And certainly nothing about the option of sticking with the old plan & price, without AI.
