Backed by the state, Chinese workers are using AI to deal with limited resources and drive innovation to compete with Silicon Valley https://restofworld.org/2026/china-ai-worker-innovation/?utm_campaign=row-social
China’s AI boom is creating a different kind of entrepreneur

"The court found that replacing a worker on cost grounds did not constitute a “material change in objective circumstances” that justified terminating a labour contract, a legal standard typically applied in situations such as mergers and acquisitions." 😎 -- www.scmp.com/tech/tech-tr...
AI cost-cutting not a legal excuse to fire workers, Chinese court says
The latest court ruling comes amid fears of AI-driven job displacement, especially among young workers.

Deze uitzending van BOOS: verdomd goede journalistiek, I'm blown away. Petje af! En inhoudelijk? Wel, de uitzending vertelt in 55 minuten waarom ik zowel van dit land houd, als het intens kan haten.
Tim Hofman@debroervanroos.bsky.social · 3mo agoIn de nieuwe BOOS laten we zien hoe makkelijk het is om je kind uit het onderwijssysteem te trekken; bijvoorbeeld omdat het kind niet tegen vrouwelijke autoriteit kan. Zo worden 2500 kinderen thuisgehouden, er is geen toezicht dus niemand weet hoe het met hen gaat en of ze "thuisonderwijs" krijgen.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

Een minister van Buitenlandse Zaken die in de eerste week van zijn ambtstermijn doodleuk zegt dat "het internationale recht niet enige kader om de situatie te beoordelen is." Als het dat niet altijd wél is, is er geen internationaal recht meer.
"If you had programming skills and wanted to use them to make a difference, journalism offered you the chance to build things that mattered and share them with the world." How do we get back to that? Scott Klein and Ben Welsh have ideas in our latest Source piece.
Journalism lost its culture of sharing
Here’s how we rebuild it

"I do know how to squeeze every possible character out of my keyboard. I certainly don't need an AI for that." Why me using a large language model for writing my writings is frankly none of your business.

I may or may not have used a large language model, an artificial intelligence in the writing of my publications. So long as I take full responsibility for each and every word I put out, it's frankly none of your business. It doesn't matter if I used ChatGPT, Mistral or DeepSeek.

When asked for a "pop-art image of an AI writing assistant", Canva AI gives you a robot with a surprising amount of "corporate feminine" features. Which part of the prompt asked for that? The "assistant" part maybe? —

Never before have I made a statement about the word processors, the tools I use to put my thoughts to paper. So why start now? Because these days an awful lot of people close their public writings with statements to the effect of "no artificial intelligence was harmed in the writing of this essay".

And for all the Spenglerian self-flagellation in Europe, Europeans still have immense economic and military resources to build on and an instrument through the EU to coordinate them with. Working to ensure a strategic insurance policy for in case the US grinds to a halt is better than bemoaning fate
This. Also: Europe does not do visionary speeches the way the Americans do. Our public sphere works in fundamentally different ways. Just because we don't do change like you do doesn't mean we do not do change. Brexiteers got this wrong too.
Nieuw verhaal chrisklomp.nl/een-extra-la... je wordt tegenwoordig bijkans gestenigd als je nuances plaatst, maar toch maar gedaan. Over het geschreeuw over monsters rond de moord op Lisa, schijnoplossingen en het domme getetter van Angela de Jong.

Vrouwen willen vooruit, niet terug! Veel steminformatie vergeet belangrijke informatie voor vrouwen. Daarom zijn de Bossche Mina's zelf op onderzoek gegaan en leveren dé volledige feministische steminformatie
Dit is toch ongelooflijk? Nauwelijks verontwaardiging, murw gebeukte pers, murw gebeukt publiek.
De Groene Amsterdammer@groene.nl · 10mo agoOp sociale media delen PVV-fanaccounts levensechte AI-beelden, veelal van knappe, blonde vrouwen die worden bedreigd door migranten. Deze pagina’s blijken te worden beheerd door minstens twee PVV-Kamerleden. 👉 buff.ly/MFNFcU3
Dit zijn geen onschuldige opmerkingen. Dit is een doelbewust poging van partijen als BBB en PVV om sluipenderwijs de democratische spelregels en grondrechten te ondermijnen. Sta je op en laat je je horen? Of kijk je weg als het mis gaat? Dát is waar deze verkiezingen over gaan.

Bram Talman@multesimus.bsky.social · 10mo agoSchieten op demonstranten en gezichtsherkenning. Dubbeldemissionair kabinet lijkt eerder een dubbelrepressief kabinet. (lokale) overheden ondermijnen door geen beleid te maken terwijl staand beleid wordt ondergraven icm populisten die oproepen tot eigenrichting. Hoezo vrijheid?

Inderdaad, belachelijk. Dat hoor je alleen te doen bij moslims en asielzoekers.
Het is Marianne Vaatstra, en alle misplaatste haat eromheen, all over again. Alsof ze erop hoopten. Ging toen niet om Marianne, net zoals het nu niet om Lisa of de veiligheid van welke andere vrouw dan ook gaat. Het gaat om vreemdelingenhaat - de eeuwige bliksemafleider. De vrouw is slechts pion.
