Kennt ihr das - ihr habt ein Problem, es nervt euch schon lange - Wochen, Monate, Jahre und scheitert daran, dass man dafür nochmal richtig Zeit (und/oder Geld) investieren müsste um es zu lösen und deshalb schiebt ihr es auf - weil gerade keinen Kopf dafür - aber ihr habt es immer wieder im Hinterkopf und es nervt. Und endlich habt ihr ein bisschen Ruhe und widmet ihr euch der Sache - und löst es sich innerhalb von Sekunden in Wohlgefallen auf... ?

Unheilige Allianzen ohne Transparenz: #Europol forciert Kooperation mit US-Unternehmen wie #Clearview – und auch die „Drehtür“ funktioniert https://www.heise.de/news/Wie-Europol-mit-Microsoft-Palantir-Clearview-Co-auf-Kuschelkurs-geht-11072724.html
#Europol entwickelt sich zunehmend zum (offen grundrechtsfeindlichen) politischen Akteur und damit zum #Problem.

You're a non-profit, improving peoples lives and need outside #expertise?
Let's talk.
You're an underfunded government agency or #QUANGO trying to fill a contractor position but having trouble getting the attention the Facebooks and Googles of the world get?
Let's talk.
You're a one-person #business and just need to talk through a problem you're facing with an #engineer for an hour, so you can figure out if it's even a solvable #problem you could hire someone to work on?
Let's talk.
The above (well, except shitting on your head for money) are all things I've done. In general, if you're #helping #people rather than #hurting them for #profit, let's talk. Full-time? Part-time? Contract for just a few hours? You might be surprised.
Hell, I might be surprised. It's happened before.
Thanks for reading. Boosts or sharing with someone who might want my services appreciated.

A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.
So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.
On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?
Let's talk.

“This kind of thing should make everybody stop and really think before deploying any AI agents. We simply don’t know to defend against these attacks. We have zero agentic AI systems that are secure against these attacks.”
“It’s an existential problem that, near as I can tell, most people developing these technologies are just pretending isn’t there.”
