We need to start teaching #programming at an earlier age
We need to teach them before they get (too) exposed to #GenAI and #coding #AIAssistants
To make sure they learn #algorithmic and programming #principles and concepts. Not just copy and paste principles.
Fighting Automated #Oppression: 2024 in Review
@eff has been sounding the alarm on #algorithmic decision making ( #ADM ) technologies for years. ADMs use data and predefined rules or models to make or support decisions, often with minimal human involvement

#AI Agents Will Be #Manipulation Engines
Surrendering to #algorithmic agents risks putting us under their influence.

I noticed this recently appeared, and I have questions. The whole reason I joined the #fediverse was to get away from #socmed #newsfeed #gavage. I was under the impression that there were no #algorithmic features to #Mastodon. What exactly is going on here?
Day 1: #mastodon is losing to #bluesky by 8 replies, 3 boosts, and 97 likes!
Apparently my post made it to the "Discover" feed which just goes to show that everyone loves the #algorithmic timeline
In #Berlin on November 22nd, 23rd or 24th? I'll be presenting some of my real-time #algorithmic #computational #AILess work at Knock Hard, in Wedding. I would be very happy to see you there
The Banality of Online #Recommendation #Culture;
A recent surge of human-curated guidance is both a reaction against and an extension of the tyranny of #algorithmic #recommendations.

#AI and #algorithmic management are increasingly used to monitor and control worker productivity, creating more exploitative workplaces. Despite #union awareness, responses to these technologies remain inadequate, focusing on transparency rather than the fundamental issues of managerial power and worker agency. To effectively resist, unions must adopt innovative tactics and address the broader implications of these systems.

Against the empire of #algorithmic video-surveillance, La #Quadrature du Net strikes back

“For the past few days, #French #police forces and the #security services of #transport companies have been legally using smart #video-#surveillance.”
So, the best way to reach more people on the #fediverse is to create a new post, preferably at a different time of day than the original post you're publicizing. This way people will see the link again even if they already saw the original, and it has a chance of reaching people in a different timezone.
This is why we need an #algorithmic #timeline; #chronological timelines encourage posting more low-quality content.

I don't know what shocks me more:
the fact that "Europe's first ever intelligent video #surveillance system" is installed in a German region governed by the Green party @GrueneBundestag which is supposed to defend civil liberties.
Or the staggering certainty with which the engineer #MarkusMüller at #FraunhoferSociety thinks his surveillance wet dream of unlimited realtime knowledge about public spaces is somehow good.
