The situation with AI is getting worse.
Mrinank Sharma, former lead of Safeguards Research Team at Anthropic resigned and announced at X that he is deeply concerned about the current state of the world. Instead - he announced, he plans to go to the UK to focus on poetry and writing, which might be a good idea for everyone who can afford it.
And he is not the only one. Zoe Hitzig also resigned at OpenAI because of her deep reservations against OpenAI's plans to introduce advertising.

Hello #Fediverse! 🌍
I'm Daniel, a Romanian living in #Denmark 🇩🇰. I've joined Vivaldi Social to find a more ethical and human-centric corner of the internet.
My interests are a mix of tech and art: ⚙️ Automation: Exploring #Python, Power Automate, and UiPath. 🎨 3D Creation: I've been passionate about #Blender for a few years now - love the complexity of 3D modeling.
P.S. My header image was created in Blender 5.0, following the "Organic Liquid Metal" tutorial by the talented Ducky 3D.
I believe in respect, integrity, and open-source values. Looking forward to connecting with fellow creators and tech enthusiasts!

If you think this is a niche #schweiz national interest story, think again, because Palantir are spreading their influence all over Europe.
Their software is used by ICE to track and deport migrants in the U.S., and in military targeting systems.
German civil society organizations are now citing the Swiss findings in their fight against Palantir’s expansion into German police forces.
Scrutiny is essential at this stage.
When journalists investigate and document *with proof*, the playbook comes out: Deny, obfuscate, claim they’re “misrepresenting” work that they don’t want scrutinized, mobilize the allies on LinkedIn, and bury critics in corporate double-speak.
Adrienne Fichter and Marguerite Meyer did excellent work. They deserve our support, not tech bros calling them “luddites” while Palantir rewrites what they actually reported. I *will* repeat their names so they’re not just “some journalists” somewhere.
Their investigation speaks for itself. So does Palantir’s response. That tells you everything you need to know about who’s operating in good faith.

I co-own a software studio, @tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.
Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)
I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.
I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.
I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.
I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.
I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.
Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.
Do say hello! 👋
