Wrongful-death lawsuits brought by the victims’ families say yes. Read more from Tech Crunch: https://flip.it/QVEKdG #Tech#Technology#Meta#CallOfDuty#Uvalde
Auf der Suche nach einem Publikum gehen einige Medien den Schritt ins Fediverse. Ein Versuch, unabhängiger von den großen Gatekeepern zu werden.
"Cox said that Emu can make “really amazing quality images” thanks to “Instagram being the data set that was used to train it” which he described as “one of the great repositories of incredible imagery.”"
This is a great reason for people to switch over to alternatives like #Pixelfed
"It’s telling that the #AI advisory council is composed entirely of businesspeople and entrepreneurs, not ethicists or anyone with an academic or deep research background..."
Uvalde parents are suing gunmaker, Meta and ‘Call of Duty’ manufacturer
The lawyer who won a record-setting settlement for #SandyHook families announced
💪two new lawsuits Friday on behalf of #Uvalde school shooting victims
targeting
⭐️the manufacturer of the AR-15 style weapon used in the attack,
⭐️as well as the publisher of “Call of Duty"
⭐️and social media giant Meta.
The lawsuits against
🔥#DanielDefense, known for their high-end rifles,
🔥#Activision, the manufacturer of first-person shooter game “Call of Duty,” and
🔥#Meta, the parent company of Facebook,
may be the first of their kind to
👍connect aggressive firearms marketing tactics on social media and gaming platforms to the actions of a mass shooter.💪🏽
The complaints contend the three companies 💥are responsible for “grooming” a generation of “socially vulnerable” young men 💥radicalized to live out violent video game fantasies in the real world with easily accessible weapons of war.
One of those men, the legal team argues, was Robb Elementary shooter Salvador Ramos.
The lawsuits allege
👉 Meta and Activision "knowingly exposed the Shooter to the weapon, conditioned him to see it as the solution to his problems, and trained him to use it.”
Falls hier jemand auch ein Konto bei #Facebook oder #Instagram hat: Ab 26. Juni will Betreiberkonzern #Meta die Inhalte von Beiträgen fürs Training eigener KI einsetzen. Man kann widersprechen. Doch Meta entscheidet, ob es den Widerspruch annimmt.
Auf unserer Internetseite haben wir Infos dazu und Vorschläge für Argumente, die man ins "Einspruchformular" schreiben kann:
I got a notification on #Facebook that #Meta plans to use my posts etc. for training #AI and said they were using the Legitimate Interest justification for doing it.
So #Meta is expanding their #AI features on #Facebook and I was presented with the following. It states I have a "right to object." The next sentence begins with "if your objection is honored...."
WTF? I have a right to object but they get to decide if they want to honor it? What kind of "right" is that? Did they mistype, "You have the slight possibility to object"
To really drive home the "fuck you" nature of this, I clicked on the "right to object" link.
Meta (instagram et facebook) veut utiliser nos données (publications, photos, vidéos et messages publics) pour entrainer des IA génératives.

Really sick of these big tech companies.
Absolute parasites.
"You have the right to object to Meta using your personal info to train AI..."
[BUT]
"...We may still process information about you to develop and improve AI at Meta, even if you object or don’t use our Products and services"
Bez większych wyjaśnień, bez wytłumaczenia co tam się właściwie będzie działo. Podobnie jak Google - po prostu my ci to włączamy i możesz tylko zaakceptować lub możemy łaskawie rozpatrzyć.
Zerknąłem do formularza, tam takie kwiatki:
"Informacje, które udostępniasz w naszych produktach i usługach, mogą obejmować np.:
– Posty
– Zdjęcia i podpisy
– Wiadomości, które przesyłasz do SI"
Czyli SI będzie się uczyła na podstawie tego co piszesz i wrzucasz. To co tutaj umieszczasz już nie jest twoje, punkt drugi, również zdjęcia i naprawdę od dziś zacznę się dziwić ludziom obficie wrzucającym zdjęcia swoje jak i swoich dzieci tutaj.
W czasach gdy SI (AI) jest zamknięta, nikt, nawet jej właściciele, nie wiedzą jak w zasadzie działa, w czasach deepfake'ów, Meta (właściciel Facebooka) narzuca mi coś, tak jak wcześniej Microsoft i Google, czego łatwo albo wcale nie mogę odrzucić.
Dziwi mnie taka cisza, nie wierzę że wszyscy mają tak wywalone, naprawdę możliwość lajków, rolek, kilku wiadomości i podglądania innych ma takie znaczenie że chcemy być "biomasą"? .
"This undisclosed WhatsApp vulnerability lets governments see who you message."
And when it comes to metadata, unfortunately - that's by design.
"Metadata — information about the who, when, and where of conversations — has come to hold immense value to intelligence, military, and police agencies around the world."
End-to-end encrypted messages isn't all you should seek out from any app that claims to be private.
FYI - #llama is NOT#opensource. The license is categorically not open source. Among other things, the llama 2 and 3 licenses explicitly violate Field of Endeavor.
I see all sorts of blogs and marketing materials claiming things are "open source" because they used llama somewhere. Please do not take these claims at face value.
