American cops are using #AI to draft #police reports, and the #ACLU isn't happy

source: https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/12/aclu_ai_police_report/

"Police reports play a crucial role in our #justice #system," ACLU speech, privacy and #technology senior #policy analyst and #report author Jay Stanley wrote. "Concerns include the unreliability and biased nature of AI, evidentiary and memory issues when officers resort to this technology, and issues around #transparency.

What effect do #sanctions have? The West has been sanctioning North #Korea for 60 years and the country still exists.

Even worse, it has been able to develop nuclear weapons despite sanctions. But the #world has become much more diverse since the end of the Cold #War. With its misguided foreign #policy, the West has failed to bring emerging states such as #India, #Brazil and #SouthAfrica on board. These states are currently doing business with #Russia and #China is doing the rest to keep Russia going.

Nearly half of #EU citizens no longer see US as most important #ally, survey shows

Source: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/11/28/nearly-half-of-eu-citizens-no-longer-see-us-as-most-important-ally-survey-shows

The most US-sceptical country was #Belgium, with only 43% of people considering the US their prominent #military partner, while #Poland had the highest pro-US rate (65%).

Now the legitimate #question arises as to whether European politicians are capable of an independent foreign policy at all, given that for decades they have only acted as willing vassals of the US? In the #EU, it is already difficult to reach compromises on domestic #policy. There is not even #agreement within the EU on whether #Russia is an #enemy.

Nearly half of EU citizens no longer see US as most important ally

A new survey reveals EU citizens are growing more and more US-sceptic, and think it's time for the bloc to pursue its own foreign policy and reduce ties with Washington. #EuropeInMotion

The #Kremlin has revised its #nuclear #policy. Does that make the use of atomic #weapons more likely?

Source: https://apnews.com/article/russia-nuclear-doctrine-putin-ukraine-war-b5ee115aa2099fa247f630e16da861d8

It adds that nuclear weapons could be used in these scenarios: If reliable information is received about the takeoff or launch of strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic or other flying vehicles and their crossing the Russian border.

So a #military drone across the border is enough? Nearly the same bullshit is standing in the US version. This means they can use nuclear weapons in every war at any time.

The Kremlin has revised its nuclear policy. Does that make the use of atomic weapons more likely?

The revamped version that was signed Tuesday by President Vladimir Putin spells out the circumstances that allow him to use Moscow's atomic arsenal, the world's largest.

An (incomplete) list of every terrible #policy the Conservatives have inflicted on #Britain since 2010

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/03/list-terrible-policy-conservatives-britain-2010

… the point is clear: in a vast number of ways, in almost every realm of #government activity, this lot have made life worse. The policies referred to in every sentence in this article have damaged untold thousands of lives. The #Conservative party has created exactly the broken Britain it claimed its mission was to repair.

The #hubris of Western foreign #policy

The Western #system won the #ColdWar and this gave rise to a certain sense of superiority among the victors that this system will now prevail #worldwide. Instead of democracies, however, autocracies have prevailed. #Capitalism also works quite well in #China. When it comes to condemning the Russian war of aggression, important states prefer to remain neutral. Bitterly poor Africans can see the Western lifestyle in advertising and would like to live it, but this does not necessarily have to be in a #democracy for them. A democracy brings people like Trump to power and there are irreconcilable differences on important issues such as climate change. It doesn't matter whether you believe in climate change - nature conservation should be a worthwhile goal for everyone. Ultimately, it's not about #climate change, but about the society we want to live in. The desire to at least live in a peaceful world after the Second World #War has not been fulfilled. #Humanity has also failed to distribute #wealth fairly, which is the reason for many of today's conflicts. We are heading towards a new very dark age and we cannot prevent it because we have created an economic system that rewards short-term profits at the expense of the #environment. Since we don't begrudge these profits to others, we can only join in and destroy our own habitat, democracy and #future.

"Scott Ritter was pulled off a NY-to-Istanbul flight on Monday by US officials and **his passport confiscated* in a startling new development in the government’s open drive to censor and silence critics of the Administration’s foreign policies at a time when the United States is supplying billions of dollars in arms to foment #wider #war in #Russia , accelerate the #attacks on #Gazans and set the stage for war with #China over #Taiwan.*"

That tendency seems poised to cause some serious problems now that a chatbot run by the #NewYork City government is making up incorrect answers to some important questions of local law and municipal #policy.

Seid umschlungen, Milliarden

Mal ein Interview mit einer interessanten Expertin zum Thema Industriepolitik und Subventionen in der FAZ. Mariana Mazzzcato kannte ich zuvor nicht, aber ich streife das Feld ja auch nur.

Meine Lesart trifft das: was sie sagt Recht gut.

Europa braucht mehr Unabhängigkeit bei Halbleitern, und das Dutzend Milliarden ist gut investiert, vor allem dann wenn es denn gut investiert ist und auch in die Breite geht. Lies: Ausbildung und akademische Strukturen müssen mitgenommen werden. Hilft ja nix wenn Intel und die anderen alle kommen, aber deutschlandweit keine Köpfe nachwachsen. Wird das Unterfangen kein Generationennprojekt ist IPCEI II nur eine Luftnummer.

Link: https://m.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/mehr-wirtschaft/mariana-mazzucato-habecks-lieblingsoekonomin-ueber-ihr-verhaeltnis-zum-minister-19509042.html (verschwindet bestimmt bald hinter Paywall)

Progressiv verstanden sollen Subventionen, so sie eigentlich als eine Anschubfinanzierung funktionieren, einen Rückfluss von Geld ermöglichen. Klingt besser als ein Tropf, aus dem ja eher keine Innovation zu erwarten ist. Ökosystem statt Gießkanne und Stickerwasser.

Mazzucato: Ich würde auch fordern: Wenn die Firma einen Gewinn macht, geht ein Teil davon zurück in den Innovationsfonds der Regierung. Auf solche Details kommt es an, wenn Sie ein schlauer unternehmerischer Staat sein wollen.FAZ: Was halten Sie von zehn Milliarden Euro für eine neue Intel-Fabrik in Magdeburg?

Das kann ich akzeptieren. Chip-Souveränität ist wichtig für Amerika und Europa, sonst kommen alle Chips aus Taiwan. Dies ist eine Chance, sicherzustellen, dass die Chipindustrie zu nachhaltigem Wachstum für alle beiträgt. Die USA machen ihr öffentliches Geld davon abhängig, dass die Unternehmen Arbeitsbedingungen verbessern, grüne Lieferketten verwenden und nicht nur Aktien zurückkaufen. Aber wie stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie über alle Aspekte nachdenken, über das ganze System? Dass man mit einer Subvention nicht ein neues Problem anderswo schafft?

Die Nachbarfirmen der neuen Intel-Fabrik in Magdeburg haben Angst, dass sie bald keine Mitarbeiter mehr finden.

Sie müssen systemisch denken, ein Ökosystem schaffen und nicht nur eine Firma subventionieren. Mit anderen Worten: Sie brauchen eine schlaue Industriepolitik, getrieben von einer Mission, die es zum Beispiel auch Start-ups ermöglicht, zu wachsen, statt nur einem großen Unternehmen eine Subvention zu zahlen.

#AndrewJohnson discuss Greg Felton's book P1 of 4

A Planet Truth TV

On today's show Richard and Andrew Johnson discuss Greg Felton's book, The Host and the Parasite. An extraordinarily important book that traces America's slide into fascism and subservience to a foreign power. Felton argues persuasively that three groups have converged and come to dominate American policy for the benefit of Israel: the neoconservatives, the Republican evangelicals (Christian Zionists), and Jewish Zionists.

He backs up his analysis with over 800 footnoted references to government, scholarly and media sources. Felton refutes the traditional progressive view that Israel is merely a client state of America. If this is so, he asks, how has America come to pursue policies that are so utterly contrary to their own national interest while being so highly beneficial to its junior partner?

Felton also refutes the theory that 'it's all about oil,' arguing that the First Persian Gulf War was the last American oil war and that the Second Persian Gulf War ignored the interests of American oil companies, increased American oil costs and reduced American national security. How could this have happened? The Second War, he demonstrates, can only be adequately explained by the #take-over of #American foreign and domestic #policy for the #benefit of #Israel.

It can be assumed that the US government carries out everything it accuses other states of in #cyberwarfare itself.

“We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses.” - Mike #Pompeo (CIA Director)

“No matter how paranoid or conspiracy-minded you are, what the government is actually doing is worse than you imagine.” - #WilliamBlum (Journalist for United States foreign #policy)
