The people currently in power fully know that you can weaponize the values and biases built into “AI” and other technologies – Damien P. Williams Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Data Science
Meet Baby Grok — Elon Musk’s AI ‘baby’ chatbot. It babbles. It giggles. It asks you to love it. It’s designed to tug at your heartstrings — and train people to emotionally bond with AI from the earliest age. Sounds cute? It’s not. This is emotional manipulation, dressed up in baby clothes
We’re in dangerous territory here — where emotional development, imaginative play, and even bonding are being hijacked by tech. – Sue Atkins Parenting Expert
Yesterday the UK Government announced it is partnering with OpenAI to use AI in the public sector, however we know next to nothing about the deal.

Trump’s AI Action Plan today removes any remaining doubt about the techno-colonial strategy I’ve been tracking since March.

The administration isn’t hiding it; they’re announcing it as diplomatic leadership. – Di Rifai Tech Ethics in Investment

And remember Microsoft Can’t Keep EU and UK Data Safe From US Authorities
Microsoft has openly admitted what many have long known: under laws like the Cloud Act, US authorities can compel access to data held by American cloud providers, regardless of where that data physically resides.
