I ordered some A4 prints and some packing tubes. I want to try selling some of my photos (and looks like it’s going to be by hand).

#OtD 4 Nov 1811 Luddites attacked machinery in Bulwell, England. While 'Luddite' is used today to mock those who don't like/know how to use technology, the Luddites didn't oppose technology as such, but how capitalists used it to make them unemployed https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10465/bulwell-luddites-attack

Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up. Frozen plasma intended for transfusion was stored there too. Fortunately nothing was destroyed. This was a cyberattack on a sensitive layer of healthcare. From frozen peas to frozen plasma in three weeks...

And, from day 1 - in 2026, yes - it only works on OS images allowlisted by two American companies, Google and Apple. Sanctioned by the US government, like e.g. the ICC judges? Can't use your _German_ digital driver's license.

In any sane society this would have been flagged as a massive issue and have simply stopped the app from launching in the first place.

Anthropic think they should be able to release a model that kills 50 humans and causes $1bn of financial damage to organisations before there is talk of regulation.

I was looking up the famous 1973 National Lampoon magazine cover with the dog being held at gunpoint.
And this is the shit that popped up.

Fuck me, the #AI bubble bursting can't come soon enough. It's becoming increasingly deranged, along with its billionaire tech bro pimps.

We are in the age of intellectual strip mining.
