EU governments have agreed their position on the #DigitalOmnibus on Data, and AI is at the heart of it.
Under the Irish Presidency, the Council has joined a deregulation project built around a dangerous idea: that Europe’s AI ambitions require feeding an ever-growing appetite for data, even if that means weakening rights people already have.

The European Council doubles down on the @EUCommission's awful idea to acknowledge a "legitimate interest" in building slop machines on our data without our consent.
Those insufferable people! They ought to represent us. Instead, they're selling us to the latest techno-capitalist hype.
While we struggle with issues they should be fixing, they're working hard to enrich those who are causing many of our problems.
But they'll always act surprised when people complain that our system is broken.

Anarchism seeks to arouse the consciousness of oppression, the desire for a better society, and a sense of the necessity for unceasing warfare against capitalism and the State.

Hey, @EUCommission, fuck you too.

On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European's fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.”

Any chance the European Court of Human Rights could cut that back out?

Another funny little tune that JIANT created for me.
If you want to play with it for yourself: Open the emulator at [1]. With the select button, go to page 5, use knob 1 to select a music style, use knob 2 to select a seed. Press Oct+1 and a new song is being generated. Press the play button. Don't like it? Switch to a different seed or style and press Oct+1 again. Have fun!
We think you forgot something, no?
okay AI, play all the shitty AI made games and tell me which ones are good
