Thrilled to receive the Schmidt Sciences / UCSC SciCom Catalyst Grant to pre-report and build an AI protocol for analyzing corporate climate narratives—advancing Amenaza Roboto’s mission as civic infrastructure: independent science & tech media. Thanks Erika Check & Kim Hickok!

Still grateful for the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. Honored to share it with my dear friend and co-author @gabrielfarias, the scientists we collaborated with, and the editorial team at #AmenazaRoboto.

📣 The rushed integration of AI into everything is a major threat to privacy, as we've been saying.

Microsoft Recall is a great (not great!) example of exactly why--it screenshots everything on your desktop, to give AI the data to tell you...what you were doing on desktop.

So, Signal took steps to protect you and everyone using Signal on Windows 11 from Recall's hunger for (Signal) data.

ebooks are almost always just licensed to the reader—you don’t actually own the ebook itself. If something goes wrong with that publisher, or if it decides to pull its ebooks from retailers’ stores, you run the risk of losing access, EFF’s Cara Gagliano told @WIRED. https://www.wired.com/story/bookshop-now-sells-ebooks/

Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new, European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control. #MastodonNonProfit

¿No será hora de desarrollar infraestructura pública y regional para no estar a merced de los volantazos de policy de particulares?

“CDs have a bit-rate of 1,411 kilobits per second, which is a measure of how much data is used to represent sound. Spotify Premium ranges from 24 kbps to 320 kbps, while free Spotify listeners are limited to 160 kbps at best. I realise this is hardly news to music aficionados. Neil Young, who grudgingly returned his music to Spotify this year after a spat involving Joe Rogan, complained that “there is so much tone missing that you can hardly feel the sensitivity”.”

I'm reading it now. I'll spend some time mulling it over before I make my "reply-reply" but maybe you should read it too!

🌎 Abrelatam-Condatos es el principal foro de América Latina orientado a la promoción, investigación, publicación y uso de datos abiertos en torno a diversas temáticas.

Por tratarse de un formato de desconferencia, la agenda de cada edición de #Abrelatam se construye colectivamente al inicio del evento. Este año, lo haremos de forma virtual para definir con antelación los temas que se tratarán en las sesiones de Abrelatam en #AméricaAberta.

👉 Participa hasta el 29/11: https://bit.ly/abrelatam2024
