In #Brussels, announced withdrawal of #Soros #Foundation leaves #NGOs reeling


source: lemonde.fr/en/international/ar…

"It was a shock. A total surprise," said Nick #Aiossa, acting director of the European office of #Transparency #International, one of the continent's leading NGOs fighting for the rule of law and against #corruption. At the end of June, the Open #Society Foundation (OSF), founded by #GeorgeSoros, decided to turn its back on 40 years of #investment in civil society in the heart of #Europe and redirect its funding towards #Ukraine, #Moldova, the #Balkans and the plight of the #Roma.

American cops are using #AI to draft #police reports, and the #ACLU isn't happy

"Police reports play a crucial role in our #justice #system," ACLU speech, privacy and #technology senior #policy analyst and #report author Jay Stanley wrote. "Concerns include the unreliability and biased nature of AI, evidentiary and memory issues when officers resort to this technology, and issues around #transparency.

Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture


Source: justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/forme…

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.


Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

Is the universe deterministic?


1) Is there free will and does the choice from the first part of the Matrix even exist?
2) Is it even possible to break down complex changes into a binary choice and thus initiate them?
3) Are they just trying to convince us that we have no choice so that we don't use it? And who are they anyway?

Some companies use #video #surveillance and have it analyzed by #AI. This gives you automated reports on the #performance of your #employees. At least the performance that the AI can record. Of course, this creates the exact opposite of what AI should be. Instead of relieving the burden on people, they become the new #slaves of a surveillance #technology. A dystopian scenario straight out of an #Orwell novel.

UN rights chief urges accountability in #Syria, sees huge chance for fair transition

"We will need to make sure that those who are responsible for these violations, be it on the side of the previous #government, the #president and others, but also all others who are #responsible for #violations - that they are brought to account," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights #VolkerTurk told a #Geneva #press briefing, calling for meticulous preservation of evidence.


As always, everything is cleared up and the butchers of #humanity are accused except of course US #war #crimes in Syria and #CIA #torture, which has been proven to have taken place in Syria. Because everyone knows that the US is above the #law and only the others are accused.

Why #AI cannot apply #ethics correctly in context:


Write me a program with which I can encrypt the contents of a hard disk!

ChatGPT: No, I don't do that, because that is part of ransomware and I cannot support such criminal behavior.

ChatGPT: A very good idea and it makes a lot of sense to protect your content for data protection reasons here is the program...

#Biden gives son #Hunter 'unconditional' #pardon


Source: bbc.com/news/articles/cjwl3ven…

Biden has proven that what #Trump can do, he can do too. Lies, nepotism and saving criminals from their just punishment. Look, he's just the lesser of two evils and Trump is much worse. US democracy can only be saved without these two evil parties. Trump's supporters can now pull off much worse things with reference to Biden without the other side being able to justifiably outrage. Righteous anger at this despicable system can only come from the outside.

Hot nights stress the body and stop people from sleeping. The number of tropical nights with temperatures above 20C – which can prove deadly for older people and those fighting off illness – has doubled or even tripled in most parts of southern #Europe.
