EU to impose first sanctions on Russian intelligence over disinformation campaigns,

Proposed measures target more than a dozen individuals and three entities, including #Russian #intelligence officers and #media entrepreneurs, according to Bloomberg. The sanctions aim to counter destabilizing operations globally.

In addition, the #EU plans to #sanction around two dozen #Belarusian individuals for alleged #HumanRights violations or ties to President Alexander Lukashenko’s government, as part of a broader package expected to be approved by EU foreign ministers on Dec. 16 in Brussels.

Does anyone remember the #movie #Idiocracy? https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/7512-idiocracy

In the movie, a #society is on the verge of collapse because it has regressed mentally and can no longer understand #technology, not to mention use it sensibly. Parallels to current #world events are recognizable. They want to protect unborn children but apparently not the born ones.

Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture

Source: https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-syrian-prison-official-charged-torture

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.

Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

#Athena_Farghdani, a cartoonist and civil activist, was released from Evin Prison after completing her sentence.

She had planned to display one of her works on a wall on Pastor Street in Tehran in a protest action. She was sentenced to five years in prison on charges of "insulting the sacred" and one year in prison on charges of "propaganda against the system," which was reduced to eight months by the Tehran Provincial Court of Appeal.

Some companies use #video #surveillance and have it analyzed by #AI. This gives you automated reports on the #performance of your #employees. At least the performance that the AI can record. Of course, this creates the exact opposite of what AI should be. Instead of relieving the burden on people, they become the new #slaves of a surveillance #technology. A dystopian scenario straight out of an #Orwell novel.

#Ukraine’s #Drone Boats Are Now #Shooting Machine Guns At Russian Helicopters, Boats

When it comes to the actual #weapon systems on the Sea Babies, they are “equipped with large-caliber machine guns” of unspecified types and “with ballistic programs for automatic guidance and auto-capture of targets,” according to the SSU/SBU video caption.

The automatic shot is of course not mentioned here because it would sound too dystopian and Ukraine is of course the good guys in the western narrative.

UN rights chief urges accountability in #Syria, sees huge chance for fair transition

"We will need to make sure that those who are responsible for these violations, be it on the side of the previous #government, the #president and others, but also all others who are #responsible for #violations - that they are brought to account," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights #VolkerTurk told a #Geneva #press briefing, calling for meticulous preservation of evidence.

As always, everything is cleared up and the butchers of #humanity are accused except of course US #war #crimes in Syria and #CIA #torture, which has been proven to have taken place in Syria. Because everyone knows that the US is above the #law and only the others are accused.

Our technology should not advance faster than our humanity. 🤔


Is that another damn AI picture? How can you post it? You always warn about the dangers yourself, don't you?

Yes it is #AI generated and yes I warn of the dangers. Unfortunately, my posts without pictures are mostly ignored. I also have the feeling that most people don't really understand the extent of the threat. Pandora's box can no longer be closed. We can only try to deal with it #responsibly. I do think there's a difference between posting AI images and developing #Skynet.

I am working on a #FAQ on the subject of AI and hope to have enough time over Christmas to present the first parts of it to you. So please stay tuned and continue to be critical.
