mastodon 4.7.3Techno-skeptic, cynical observer with ~30 years of delusions from #IT, 20+ years of frustration in #cybersecurity.
Still trying to do something good. Or die trying.
#Governance and data protection advisor, #Privacy advocate, professional ranter, #art and #creativity supporter. #noAI by big tech.
Not tolerant to hate, racism, violence, discrimination, pro-tech propaganda, extremism of all sorts. Expect to be blocked.

Working with a company that is trying to implement #AI in their workflows:
- let's skip for the moment the environmental damage you created ( #ESG )
- you're trying to create a library of documents where the solution is a #database
- each document is 18 pages long: that's another #environmental damage
- your productivity will entirely rely on someone else
- the solution is method, not the tool
And yet, here we are.
Starting today, I will have a new question to ask my customers when auditing a supplier: are you a customer, or a prisoner of your provider?
The idea of "too dangerous to be released" reminds me a lot of the Oppenheimer movie. We risk destroying the world: let's do it anyway.
What I truly can't understand is how people can be excited by the lies and blatant bullshit spread by some tech people.
But then, I remind myself how someone said he doesn't like smart people. And everything turns a bit more clear.
So now they are burning the books, because "destroying the source material after copying is fair use"
Remember who else burned books in past?
At this point, some #AI companies should be considered perpetrators of crimes against humanity.
You are purchasing rare and unique books, cultural heritages, TO BURN THEM AFTER FEEDING INTO YOUR DAMN MODELS.

The AI era?
Oh, they must mean "the era where you slap AI on your slop useless product to get millions of dollars in investment" before quitting for ethical concerns and starting up a new frau... I mean, startup?
See the recent OpenAI former CTO's startup. Valuation for nothing.
I used to be so hyped for technology, now it's a continuous rant.
In 2026 as everything is getting connected to a network (even when not needed) the level of incompetence, lack of basic knowledge and understanding of network basics is astonishing. And that comes from businesses installing critical devices: alarm systems, automation, industrial equipment.

@thatprivacyguy@eupolicy.social supposing how the legal department works at big-G, I believe they will do the exact opposite of the three requests:
either do no public statement or try to bury it in an easy to delete place (like the setting)
do further very foggy changes to the setting
definitively not do an opt-in function (as they should with everything in the EU)
All of the above have been on their playbook for too long now. They should be sanctioned a lot harder than until now.
