I think it would be good to hear from @nprofile1q... about this? 👀

> The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

Edit: I am holding any judgement regarding Mullvad until there is a response.

Police:

We need more surveillance so we can better protect you!

Also Police:

> A monitoring group repeatedly warned the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) over the past eight months that anti-immigration activists were circulating the addresses of properties that were targeted in this week’s Belfast riots.

> Anti-racist campaigners have spoken of their anger and frustration that months of warnings were not acted on

I need people to understand that stuff like this will keep happening, for two reasons:

1. To be useful these chatbots need to have full access to everything they are supposed to "manage"; otherwise they are pointless.

2. Trying to stop prompt injection is basically trying to semantically filter natural language.

These tools have no model of the world, no ontology to anchor any "safety instructions" in. There will always be a way to talk one's way around them.

This commentary on Eric Shmitt's ill-received commencement speech at University of Arizona is spot on:
https://youtu.be/tlQ7EoJDTQY

It is a thoughtful, stern public call-out of a man who had all the power and opportunity to make the right, ethical decisions at Google, but didn't – and who now demands that students inhabiting the technofascist dystopia he helped create go in and fix it.

The booing at that commencement speech was a rare and much-needed moment of accountability for Shmitt. 🔥

Even investors are not buying the "AI layoffs" bullshit anymore:
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/29/sentinelone-s-stock-earnings-ai-layoffs.html

> SentinelOne shares sank 8% as the cybersecurity company laid off 8% of its full-time workforce to focus on artificial intelligence and data investments.

> “This is not a reactive measure, it is a deliberate evolution to reduce complexity, raise the performance bar, and build a leaner, more agile SentinelOne,” CEO Tomer Weingarten told analysts on the earnings call Thursday.
