Rather than enacting overly broad, reactive regulations that restrict public access to information and strip away digital anonymity, we urge Governor Hochul to protect the digital rights and privacy of all New Yorkers by vetoing Senate Bill 9934A. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/eff-joins-18-civil-rights-organizations-calling-governor-hochul-reject-stealth

:gilotyna: "Salem: mieszkańcy przynieśli gilotynę na spotkanie z CEO, który chciał wybudować w mieście centrum danychPowiedzmy, że była to dosyć wymowna sugestia:Spotkanie w Salem zaczęło się o 17:30, a zakończyło po północy. W jego trakcie przeciw budowie centrum danych przez firmę Verrus protestowali mieszkańcy, w tym przedstawiciele lokalnej społeczności Rdzennych Amerykanów. Mieszkańcy sprzeciwiają się powstaniu centrum danych ze względu na wysokie zużycie przez nie wody i energii oraz generowany przez nie hałas, czyli czynniki, które negatywnie odbiłyby się na lokalnej społeczności.Miejska biblioteka nie pomieściła wszystkich osób, które przyszły zaprotestować przeciwko budowie centrum danych. Lokalną społeczność, oprócz samego pomysłu powstania centrum, oburzył też fakt, że władze miasta podpisały z Verrus klauzulę o poufności i przez ponad rok rozmawiały z firmą w tajemnicy, przyznając jej m.in. ulgi podatkowe.Jak donoszą lokalne media, przedstawiciele firmy opuścili spotkanie przed jego zakończeniem, ponieważ "nie czuli się bezpiecznie"."https://www.donald.pl/artykuly/jqdzTRDY/salem-mieszkancy-przyniesli-gilotyne-na-spotkanie-z-ceo-ktory-chcial-wybudowac-w-miescie-centrum-da#CentraDanych #społeczność

As perhaps a few Elon Musk fans may remember, he got really annoyed at Wikipedia last year and tasked his second-rate LLM, Grok, with recreating it as “Grokipedia.” Grokipedia, launched nearly a year ago, basically starts by forking Wikipedia and then having its AI “generate” more details and more stories. It’s… not very good.
