The thing is, if you asked ANYONE outside Australia ‘who is Gina Rinehart’ last week, you would have got a blank stare. This portrait is now how she will be known and remembered.

Also, great quote:

“Namatjira’s political leaders all look frozen, dull behind the eyes, whiter than white, and as if battling an internal war with their fakery and greed.”

Well put.

“Rinehart seems to want to use her money for cultural influence. Namatjira uses his talent to the same end.

She wants to control her public image, and will deploy people financially dependent on her to that end. His art is a subversion of that control.

Rinehart’s attempts at censorship have only elevated Namatjira and brought his work to a new audience.”

A quick overview/review of a book that I found fascinating: "Design Rules Volume 1: The Power of Modularity" by Carliss Baldwin and Kim Clark. It ties together a lot of themes I've ben focused on, and there's even more interesting followup work!

TIL: StackOverflow only allows you to delete five of your posts each day.

And this is their earnings call.

"I think the central risk to Palantir, America and the world is a regressive way of thinking that is corrupting and corroding our institutions that calls itself progressive, but actually — and is called woke — but is actually a form of a thin pagan religion,"

"That is a real danger to our society. And it is a real danger to Palantir if we allow -- if we don't discuss these things. The reason we have by far the best product offering in the world is because we have by far the best alignment around how to build software, what it means to build software, full alignment with our customers, a view that some -- the Western way of living is superior and, therefore, it should be supported by the best products."

Law enforcement is asking - yet again - for access to encrypted communications. This post tries to succinctly summarise why that's a bad idea.

"It is striking, to say the least, that so many more meritorious reform proposals pertaining to equitable digital privacy, content moderation, and antitrust policy – ones which had a real chance to address tech platforms’ power – never made it through the House."

    One of the most contentious issues in AI is content owners' control over use of their material in the datasets that are used to feed LLMs. This article looks at one commonly mentioned solution - robots.txt - and how it measures up.

    Welcome to our new Fedi-experiment: a Lemmy (Fedi-Reddit) community to share academic/policy articles on tech policy! Web: https://lemmy.ml/c/mae Fedi: @mae

    I've recently joined @robin @mnot and @chadkoh in a small discussion group where we’ve done that privately. But why not make it a broader resource! You can browse the links without an account. If you sign up, you can up/down-vote articles and leave comments as well!

    LinkedIn just changed their .favicon to include a miniature, static 'red dot' indicator. just after Safari started showing the icons on the favourites bar.

    Way to go, dark patterns.
