As of today, the use of AI becomes more transparent in the EU. Here’s how EU law makes sure AI works for you, in full openness ↓

My brain at any given moment tbh:
A picture of a goldfish. It’s a vibrant orange color with a frowning mouth and a golden eye. There is some tan colored pebbles at the bottom of the fish tank, and a grey mossy looking rock behind the goldfish.

Seen near Holborn Station, on the route of the Unite the Kingdom rally. When the scapegoats are gone, the borders are fortified, and the hatred has done its damage, the cost of living will still rise, the NHS will still be dying, and corporate vultures will still be picking our lives apart.
A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: “When you’ve got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you’ve built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town’s a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay.” Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.

In mid 2026, the EU apparently wants most not-low-risk discussion platforms (so is that all of them, beyond social media?) to start strict age checks: digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/c... Don't ask me why not everyone is talking about this... I don't know.

I might be misreading, but the EU-wide verification seems to already have been decided: bsky.app/profile/that... As per already released guidance that is scheduled to become mandatory in mid 2026. Somehow, I have seen pretty much zero press about it. #EU #surveillance #privacy
