SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

It's very notable that this room has plenty of developers and builders, and whenever someone says that deregulation is stupid they're getting full-throated applause. The people pushing deregulation are disconnected from those of us who are building the future. #EuroskyLive

The first of what we can hope will be many legal victories for the music industry in its fight against the AI pirates. A Munich court ruled that OpenAI had breached copyright law and was liable to be sued for damages for appropriating content without authorisation.

the @ec.europa.eu's President von der Leyen is uncritically echoing AI hype & corporate PR, particularly that “AI would approach human reasoning in 2026”. we find this unacceptable & ask the Commission President to retract it. please sign this open letter if you agree

Data collection at scale is a national security issue. This trading is happening even with GDPR protections. And yet the Commission is advocating changes that would remove such data from the scope of the regulation.

AI is trained on academic books without the consent of authors who are now also expected to train and assess the use of AI by their students without consultation from university leaders who are also engaged in academic redundancy programmes. It's not only AI that can 'connect the dots'.

People in crypto have been socialised into being ok w scams, rugs and pump and dump schemes - always seeking to outsmart eachother n the market. Whether Trump gets away with this tariff shit depends on just how deep that socialisation has sunk into the psyche of the US population.

Last month, I wrote to the Prime Minister calling for an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Today, more than 30 MPs have supported that call. This is not going away. We will campaign for as long as it takes to establish the truth.
