Most large language models today speak only a handful of the world’s 7,000+ languages.

Across Africa, researchers & technologists are tackling this imbalance head-on — collecting ethically sourced, high-quality speech data & building AI that understands African languages.

African languages for AI: the project that’s gathering a huge new dataset
When a language isn’t in the data, its speakers aren’t in the product – and AI cannot be safe, useful, or fair for them.

Yuck. Meta apps listen on localhost on Android so that tracking scripts can talk to apps, and Meta can monitor your browsing and tie it to identity. Why is that allowed? www.theregister.com/2025/06/03/m...

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
