not mine words but very true

Selling your face for AI cash? Actors are discovering their likeness used in scams and political propaganda, often trapped by contracts. A stark warning about the dark side of AI likeness deals. #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalRights #TechEthics

EU's attempt to fix GDPR enforcement backfires spectacularly: How a well-intentioned regulation became a bureaucratic nightmare. https://ppc.land/eus-attempt-to-fix-gdpr-enforcement-backfires-spectacularly/ #GDPR #DataPrivacy #EURegulations #Bureaucracy #DigitalRights

Big tech’s burning, #AI’s hallucinating, #Crypto bros are still grifting, and somehow #USPolitics keeps getting worse. Meanwhile, #Trans people in the #USA are fighting for their lives—and the mainstream #News acts like it’s just another debate segment.

That’s why I’m on #Mastodon. That’s why we’re building the #Fediverse. Open, decentralized, and not run by billionaires with god complexes.

Long live #Linux. Death to walled gardens.

#NowReading: How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism

by Cory Doctorow

Alright, #introduction time!

Hi all, I go by Julie (or Jules, on occasion) and I love #reading and #writing, mainly #SFF

As you can tell by my avatar, I am a #SuckerForStationery

I am a cat person, but don't live with a cat at the moment. I also have small hands.

My day job is in tech, and I'm also interested in #digitalRights, #UnplugTrump, #Linux, #privacy etc.

I think #AI is bullshit and should not be used in general, and particularly not for art.

#LGBTQIA rights are human rights.

We're heading to #GIJC25 this November in Kuala Lumpur.
