‘One media executive also pointed out that, regardless of the particulars of this #OpenAI-#AxelSpringer deal, “monetisation happens best when it happens on your website”. If the consumption of quality journalism is happening on someone else’s platform long term, “that doesn’t strike me as being a good thing”.’ https://www.ft.com/content/f308c81d-2703-4f0b-bf87-bf0187379ffa

Wow! ’#Apple is the only major company expected to grow global [smartphone] shipments this year. This is largely down to #India, where #iPhone shipments are projected to grow by “a massive” 31% in 2023, compared to 2% in #China and none in the #US, its two biggest markets” https://www.ft.com/content/7ffc9881-7414-4b04-9687-9f95dbb3948e

Past empires suffer ‘“a combustible blend of pride in an idealised past, grievance over greatness lost or stolen, and . . . vulnerability to manipulation by effective politicians”. This offers a good enough explanation of why so many voters in post-imperial Britain were persuaded by the case for #Brexit.’

I used to ask people building AGI what can be done to address the risks, and often got some variation of this answer.

A lot to unpack here about how some leading AI researchers understand what policy is capable of and their own actions/responsibilities.

🇬🇧 competition authority said “decisions about which companies to target with tailored rules would be informed by its work assessing markets such as mobile phone ecosystems. In its final report on the latter last year, the regulator said there was a strong case for targeting both Apple and Google with specific codes of conduct due to their dominance in that market.”

Y’all should not rely on us. We’re going to shutdown the Twitter bridge.
