Found: The 19th century silent film that first captured a robot attack The Library of Congress has found and restored a long-lost silent film by Georges Méliès. by Chloe Veltman www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n... #art #culture #silent_movie
Screenshot from Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon) (1902).

Georges Méliès — Roger-Viollet

A black-and-white film still showing the Moon depicted as a large human face with expressive features — eyes, a nose, and an open mouth — occupying most of the frame. A cylindrical rocket or projectile is embedded directly in the Moon's right eye. A dark starry sky forms the background.

EU is slowly forming the decision that it urgently needs more sovereignty and more independence. Digital sovereignty from US tech that is an open book to the formidable adversary. Independence from Visa and MasterCard that is part of subjugation by dollar. And double that on the AI conundrum.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

If asked, people will generally agree that they are powerless regarding the most impactful problems in the world. And they are unwilling to think about these problems as if they were not powerless. So they - apparently unaware of this - adopt the opinion of the powerful as if it were their own.

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
