A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Very good news here because they have as yet done and said nothing about Gaza. The sanctions relate to murder and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, which is a related but separate crime, even if the perpetrators are the same people.

Imo it's as simple as "having female friends." Not having female friends leads to incel/pickup artist attitudes, anger at women for not reacting the way their male mentors say they should, and obviously never being part of conversations about SA and harassment

Putting aside that the UK was never a bystander, but rather a junior partner in facilitating the genocide and apartheid by maintaining regular relations with Israel for decades, it is still refreshing to see Miliband speak like this. Who in the Democratic Party does the same aside from Van Hollen?

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

Andy Burnham is definitely wrong on some key issues: refugees, far-right groups, the continued proscription of Palestine Action. But it does make a nice change to have a PM who is not wrong on absolutely every issue, and is actually decent on quite a few.

My opinion: the proscription of Palestine Action was done almost entirely for political reasons, to sound tough on the issue, without really thinking the consequences through. Another example of Labour thinking like an opposition, not like a government.

Beyond the inherent silliness, all these proposed systems have an inherent fatal flaw: they presume already existing digitised data sets of things like shopping lists, personal schedules with hour by hour calendars, group communications; that no normal person or family has.
