#WompWomp Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
The 'godfather of AI' says the government will have to establish UBI to deal with the impact of AI on inequality.
"I was consulted by people in Downing Street and I advised them that universal basic income was a good idea."
—Geoffrey Hinton
He thinks that AI will increase productivity and wealth, but that the money will go to the rich and not the people whose jobs get lost and that’s "going to be very bad for society."
Justice #Alito says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."
Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses
It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that.
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
A journey only becomes one when it begins somewhere.
That's why we are grateful to @EDPS for having created and skillfully managed the EUVoice pilot instance.
Your vision has opened new horizons for us and European institutions.
Our new instance will only foster our engagement with this truly amazing community and be a reference for any institution interested in embracing the fediverse and open alternatives.
I was excited to read this study until I got to the sample...all men. So while the headline generalizes the findings, they actually have no idea about how exercise changes saturated fat metabolism in women because they did not study women. When reading studies, always look at the sample. Even today women are being excluded from health studies. https://gizmodo.com/exercise-changes-saturated-fat-metabolism-study-1851481654
Today, we step up our enforcement actions against Microsoft.
After not having received an answer to our request for information from 14 March regarding specific risks stemming from Bing's generative AI features, Microsoft has now until 27 May to provide it or could face fines and periodic penalties.
Bing may pose risks linked to generative AI, such as so-called ‘hallucinations’, deepfakes, and the automated manipulation of services that can mislead voters.
Joe Biden won all of the debates he had with Trump in 2020 but somehow media people are pretending Trump is good at debating.
In reality, Trump is a crybaby narcissist who spirals into childish rage at the slightest confrontation.
He cowered from multiple debates in 2016 because he couldn't respond to tough questions. He was terrified of debating his Republican challengers in 2024. He also choked against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
On the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, my Administration stands in solidarity with LGBTQI+ people around the world as they seek to live lives free from hate-fueled violence and discrimination.
Another company sending me “we’ve noticed you haven’t opened our emails in a while”, which is a weird way to let someone know you’ve been trying to track them.
(I have been opening the emails, I just have email tracking pixels blocked)
It transcends boundaries and should be celebrated, regardless of who you love.
As we mark the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to building a #UnionOfEquality – an inclusive place where love is celebrated in all its forms.
Today and every day, we stand together against all forms of discrimination and hate.
I was honored to meet Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko, aka @Gargron, yesterday afternoon in San Francisco. He's the real deal: committed to doing something good for the world and boasting serious technical skills. He also has genuine humility, a welcome trait in the tech world.
The occasion was a meet-and-greet put together by Flipboard's @mike, whose company has enbraced the fediverse in a big way.
I hope to do more to help make the fediverse succeed.
70 years after the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that 'separate but equal' was unconstitutional, I welcomed plaintiffs and their families to the People’s House.
We still haven't lived up to our founding promise of equality – but we sure as hell aren’t walking away from it.
