fundamentally i even get why the european union doesn't want giant american multinationals running their entire internet, especially now
My radicalized perspective is that if the US can force ByteDance to divest/shutter TikTok in the US, the EU can do the same for Azure/AWS cloud data centers under the same logic

Just got around to the digital omnibus stuff. The GDPR revisions are kinda poo tbh. Left wondering if the Commission wrote this themselves or just had an AI company's lobbyist write it for them lol
The single entry point for incidents is super welcome, though. Been pushing hard for this.

Do our European leaders ever stop to think about the deep humiliation of constantly allowing the US to dictate our policies here in Europe?
Or they are incapable of shame?

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

If true, this is absolutely not someone suited to lead digital sovereignty in the EU, especially at this critical moment.
"Other voices point at recent reporting by Politico, that Virkkunen's message to US businesses in direct meetings was that the EU will review its rules and become more business-friendly."

As always, the political right - in some ways, especially the center-right - hate people, democracy, freedoms.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Israel says latest remains returned from Gaza are not bodies of hostages
The Israeli military said Saturday that the remains of three people handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross this week do not belong to any of the remaining Israeli hostages. Palestinian militants have released the remains of 17 hostages they held in Gaza, but the handover of the bodies of the 11 remaining hostages has been slow.

This isn't a warrant canary, this is a pre-planned criminal conspiracy to violate court orders. The lawyers who approved these contracts should be disbarred and prosecuted for violating the court orders personally.
turns out warrant canaries go both ways
"So to deal with the threat, officials created a secret warning system: the companies must send signals hidden in payments to the Israeli government, tipping it off when it has disclosed Israeli data to foreign courts or investigators."

Nvidia stock hit an all-time high of $201.03. HSBC upgraded to "Buy" with the highest price target on the street at $320, citing growing demand for AI chips.
So, is it safe to invest everything (including retirement savings) in a few American companies?

Great thread. Add to it that all three of the biggest clouds are run by American companies, which typically comes with its own set of values decisions and priorities.
IMO, the EU really needs to make this its tech competitiveness and sovereignty #1 priority (not AI), almost as important as defense.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

IMHO everyone on the political right is a crybaby bitch if you scrape away the pretense. (Yes everyone.) The only questions are how much pretense and how much they are a crybaby bitch. The fact that they are scraping their own pretense away lets us get right to the well-deserved ridicule
Something I can't get over with the Sarah Pochin comments is that it's not just racist, it's also pathetic? Like oh wittle Sarah doesn't like the wittle adverts is it? Get a grip, you're a grown woman and member of parliament, stop being a snowflake and find a real problem to deal with

I recently used generative AI for the first time to generate a document; it was excellent at making something that sounded like what a confidently ignorant person would write on the topic.
I have also found that LLMs are useful for reorganizing my own content and providing advice about structure. Like an editor basically. But LLMs and other GenAI are extremely bad at other things, like serving as search engines and generating creative content. Seems important to distinguish.
