Watching from afar it is clear that the American people wanted to inflict Trumponomics on themselves. Even #Bezos #Musk and #Zuckerberg are cheer leaders. I watched my own country implode under #Truss with many seeing their pensions destroyed so that the Institute for Economic Affairs could test some of its policies which were made up on a drunken night out on the people. So should we rename the #US president? If so here are some suggestions.

“The push to develop in-house chips is part of a long-term plan at #Meta to bring down its mammoth #infrastructure costs as the company places expensive bets on #AI tools to drive growth.

Meta, which also owns #Instagram and #WhatsApp, has forecast total 2025 expenses of $US114 billion ($181 billion) to $US119 billion, including up to $US65 billion in capital expenditure largely driven by spending on AI infrastructure.

…Meta’s new training chip is a dedicated accelerator, meaning it is designed to handle only #AISpecific tasks. This can make it more power-efficient than the integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) generally used for AI workloads.”

Move into chip development, to reduce costs 🤣😂☺️

Farcebook - an insiders tale

The review of the book (the author is married to an FT Editor) does not mention that she was personally responsible for getting the platform accepted in Myanmar - where it was responsible for the disinformation and hatred that led to many deaths on top of ethnic cleansing. It exposes the targeting of the toung and culnerable well.

Continued thread

Most Facebook executives didn't allow their own children on Facebook - according to Ms Wynn-Williams. "They had screen bans. They certainly wouldn't allow them to use the product."

And yet she says reports from 2017 - that the company had been using algorithms to target and categorise vulnerable teens - were true.

"The algorithm could infer that they were feeling worthless or unhappy," she alleges.

The company - which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp - could, she claims, identify when a teenage girl had deleted a selfie on its platforms, and then notify a beauty company that it would be a good moment to target the child with an advert.

Ms Wynn-Williams says she "felt sick" at the thought and tried to push back, "although I knew it was futile".

Ms Wynn-Williams claims that in the mid-2010s, as part of its negotiations with the Chinese government, Facebook considered allowing it future access to Chinese citizens' user data.

"He was working hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party, building a censorship tool…"

'Ms Wynn-Williams says governments frequently asked for explanations of how aspects of Facebook's software worked, but were told it was proprietary information.

"But when it came to the Chinese, the curtain was pulled back," she says.

"Engineers were brought out. They were walked through every aspect, and Facebook was making sure these Chinese officials were upskilled enough that they could not only learn about these products, but then test Facebook on the censorship version of these products that they were building."

Delusions of grandeur: The #Meta founder and CEO Mark #Zuckerberg has directly compared himself to the Roman emperor Julius Caesar. His own shirt declared “Aut Zuck aut nihil,” which is a play on the Latin phrase “Aut Caesar aut nihil”: “Either Caesar or nothing.”

Whistleblower "alleges that the social media giant so desperately wanted to enter the lucrative China market that it was willing to allow the ruling party to oversee all social media content appearing in the country and quash dissenting opinions."

Nieuw op Mastodon omdat ik klaar ben met #zuckerberg en consorten. Even een klein voorstelrondje: in het dagelijks leven ben ik fulltime getrouwd, fulltime #machinist en vrijwilliger bij de #egelopvang. In onze achtertuin vangen wij weer herstellende #egeltjes op om deze later weer uit te zetten.

Als hobby's springen wij graag in de #kayak, doen in #Frankrijk verschillende #Via #Ferrata beklimmingen en kamperen we met onze #Eriba #caravan.

Hoop hier leuke contacten tegen te komen!
