  • The internet con: How to seize the means of computation. (Kickstarter)

    A Kickstarter? For a book? By Cory Doctorow? Titled "The Internet Con"?

    You don't say.
    My next book is The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation. Verso will publish it on September 5. It's a book that distills 20 years' experience, fighting for digital rights. It explains how the internet curdled - and how we'll get it back.
    So, looking around the internet, that would be twenty years of utter failure.


  • Dime-store Bond villain Sam Altman-Fried says he will allow companies and governments use his privacy-eradicating crypto scam Worldcoin. (Reuters)

    Sam is also CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.


  • Facebook has released its Audiocraft suite of AI-driven music tools as open source. (Ars Technica)

    Much as I love dumping on Facebook - much as the company deserves it - it has been releasing a lot of AI research as open source rather than using it to steal all your personal information.

    Mostly because Facebook already has all your personal information. Just as with Apple, which cracks down on privacy-damaging apps on its platform because nobody else is allowed to have all your personal data, Facebooks motives here are black as coal but I'll take a win where I can find it.


  • Putting that Solidigm 60TB SSD to the test. (Hot Hardware)

    It works. It's not a high-end SSD, but 60TB in a single 2.5" drive for around $5000 is a steal. That's about the same capacity (after RAID) as my four second-hand Synology NAS boxes combined, and probably about as reliable.
