The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act at work. In addition to clean energy solutions being good for the planet, low-income and minority communities typically bear the brunt of everyone else’s pollution and also rely on public transportation the most.
If you only read one article this year, it has to be THIS by @Mer__edith, the president of #signal :
"AI is a marketing term, not a technical term of art. [...]
This is also why it’s imperative that we recognize mass surveillance – and ultimately the surveillance business model – as the root of the large-scale tech we’re currently calling “AI”."
University Suspends Students for AI Homework Tool It Gave Them $10,000 Prize to Make
Emory University gave students a $10,000 entrepreneurial prize for their AI startup, then suspended them and accused them of cheating when they built it.
'Godfather of AI' Geoffrey Hinton has told BBC and UK govt that a #BasicIncome will be needed to offset loss of 'mundane' jobs lost to #AI https://zurl.co/R8cV
"There’s standard Silicon Valley hubris in the ‘move fast and break things’ mold, and then there’s whatever this is
"Trying to steamroll one of the most famous movie stars alive, one who is notably not afraid to take Disney to court (and win), and then lying to everyone about it ... well that’s another level altogether.”
To use such a system, the user would have to provide a pulse, electric conductivity of the skin and other life signs and do so long enough with an implementation vetted by the strongest security ever scrutinized to even permit login.
AI Laptop REACTIONS! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45Q
Checking out all the announcements today from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo! I did a live recording of my reactions.
Windows on ARM is getting REALLY exciting! Here are some things to look out for while shopping a new "AI" laptop!
"Lavender applies the logic of the pattern recognition-driven signature strikes popularized by the US ... with the mass surveillance infrastructures and techniques of #AI ... Instead of serving ads, Lavender automatically puts people on a kill list based on the likeness of their surveillance data patterns to the data patterns of purported militants – a process that ... is hugely inaccurate. Here we have the AI-driven logic of ad targeting, but for killing." @Mer__edithhttps://www.helmut-schmidt.de/aktuelles/detail/die-rede-der-zukunftspreistraegerin

“It went without saying, at least up until now, that when we imagined growing the largest and most complete database of metal music, part of that vision was the preservation of art and human expression through music. Until #AI, that was a given. The music described on the site is, in some way, played, programmed, and composed by a human being. That still remains an important criterion for us, and it is our belief that AI generated music does not satisfy that requirement.” https://www.metal-archives.com/news/view/id/296
The reason the billionaires, governments, and corporations are trying to make Generative “#AI” fetch happen is because #ModelExplainability doesn’t exist.
They don’t want to foment transparency, accountability, or individual agency.
Just had to convince an #ai chatbot to let me speak to a human for my company's internal corporate it support desk.
It was, predictably, useless, just like every other automated support system I've ever interacted with.
But I earnestly wonder how much of that is because I, and people like me, independently troubleshoot and research before we try to bother a human, so we're just hitting the filtering function for people who refuse the read the instructions.
