What can we expect for the year ahead?

[dietasse@floss.social]

@EUCommission
Excited for the EU inc. Please remove the mass surveillance from the other plans.

[kristine@theforkiverse.com]

@EUCommission 5? Or 4? Or did AI count and present your list?

[http_error_418@hachyderm.io]

@Kristine @EUCommission pretty pathetic for an organisation representing 300 million people. Prioritising AI ahead of climate is a good way to make the world burn too.

@EUCommission I love EU propaganda! It reminds me of the communist era. Similar excuses and a similar need to constantly monitor citizens. For the good of the children, of course. After all, it is the State - not the parents - that is supposed to raise children these days.
Instead of getting rid of harmful content and the social media promotion methods that target children, we’ll simply introduce an app to monitor what our citizens are viewing. For the sake of the children. Of course.

@EUCommission what a turd of priorities. Prioritise at least counting: there are 4, not 5
Anyways i will translate your priorities:
* Death
* War
* Slop
* Surveillance

@cardiozibi @EUCommission ...good

[qevlarr@masto.nu]

@EUCommission child safety again the excuse for mass surveillance?? So sick and tired.

@EUCommission and what about #Gaza?????? #genocide

@EUCommission

Security:
- Is unification (federalization if you really insist) of the EU Member States army on the list?
- Would it include transport infrastructure as well?
- (also funny to speak about security when people who wish to own weapons are "bullied")
- And are we going to finally fucking tell people the situation and provide them with guides on how to behave in crisis?!?!

@EUCommission
Ukraine:
- Would this aid to Ukraine's defense industry contain condition to give us production know-how to some of its technologies?

Competitiveness:
- Is unification of EU rules on the plate to decrease unnecessary costs for businesses?
- As for AI Gigafactories, is our grid and power-production prepared for it? And if not how would this be achieved?
- Also for AI, does EU have a plan for sustainable AI learning centers and data centers?

(2/3)

@EUCommission

Social Media:
- How does EU plan to "protect and empower kids" when in reality instead of protecting and educating kids you restrict their free access to information, let companies spy under the pretext of protecting kids and discuss Chat Control 2.0 to spy on everyone (hello China)
- Action Plan against Cyberbullying is nice PR stunt but how does EU plan to achieve this? The scale of these incidents, the disinterest from police in some countries do not aid this.

@EUCommission
That's 4 not 5.
And 3 of them are irrelevant/detrimental to the human predicament on this finite planet.

Can't count, won't count.

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@EUCommission did an LLM do the counting of 4 bullet points as “5”?

[ukeleleeric@mstdn.social]

@EUCommission way to contradict yourself. Aside from its massive catastrophic environmental cost and the fact that it DOESN'T WORK, there's an inherent security risk in anything 'AI' (which means artificial incompetence as far as any moderately-knowledgable person is concerned).

[fvillanueva@masto.es]

@EUCommission Where are the people and the things we all worry about?

[thejessiekirk@ohai.social]

@cardiozibi No one mentioned communism except you, dear. @benhuser @EUCommission

[thecasualcritic@writing.exchange]

@EUCommission I think the children would prefer if you prioritised action on climate and nature instead of introducing mass online surveillance.

[js@mastodon.nl]

@EUCommission The elephant in the room? The Anthropocene Mass Extinction event, now at the verge of critical, irreversible tipping points.

But noo, let’s exacerbate while ignoring, and throw money to a speedup of burning the planet. For slop. We like slop. Slop good. Must have slop. Slop is the future! And the future is: extinction.

[kerplunk@mastodon.scot]

@EUCommission

EU Core Prioritys,

What,

Climate change and need to rapidly move from Fossil Energy does not even get a mention.

200 Billion for AI and Gigafactories, with

GIGA EMISSIONS AND WATER USAGE.

[research_ftw@sciences.social]

@EUCommission So not tackling any real problems then?
Nothing on the climate crisis that saw Europe burning this summer?
