Le chapitre des Twitterfiles français s'ouvre enfin !
#politique #censure #médias #désinformation
Contexte : en 2022, suite au rachat de Twitter par Elon Musk, ce dernier ouvrait à une demi douzaine de journalistes la messagerie interne de l'entreprise, ouvrant la voie à une multitude de révélations sur la façon dont Twitter, sous la pression du FBI et de ses propres équipe de modération, avait largement censuré les comptes Républicain durant la mandat de Joe Biden.
Plus récemment, à l'occasion d'un meeting à Munich, le vice président JD Vance expliquait à un publié médusé que la liberté d'expression était en danger en Europe. Un mois auparavant, lors du sommet de l'IA à Paris, le même JD Vance lançait qu'il n'était pas digne pour une démocratie d'utiliser l'IA pour censurer ses citoyens, ciblant de façon implicite le pouvoir français.
Le bras de fer mené par les USA envers l'UE, qui à ce stade à réussi à imposer des tarfis douaniers sans la moindre réciprocité de la part de l'Europe, ne s'arrête pas en si bon chemin. A de multiples occasion, Donald Trump comme JD Vance ont annoncé vouloir mener une guerre contre les législations contraignant les Big Tech américaines, avec en ligne de mire le DSA et Thierry Breton.

"Jacquelyn Schneider saw a disturbing pattern, and she didn’t know what to make of it.
Last year Schneider, director of the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative at Stanford University, began experimenting with war games that gave the latest generation of artificial intelligence the role of strategic decision-makers. In the games, five off-the-shelf large language models or LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4-Base; Anthropic’s Claude 2; and Meta’s Llama-2 Chat — were confronted with fictional crisis situations that resembled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or China’s threat to Taiwan.
The results? Almost all of the AI models showed a preference to escalate aggressively, use firepower indiscriminately and turn crises into shooting wars — even to the point of launching nuclear weapons. 'The AI is always playing Curtis LeMay,' says Schneider, referring to the notoriously nuke-happy Air Force general of the Cold War. 'It’s almost like the AI understands escalation, but not de-escalation. We don’t really know why that is.'
If some of this reminds you of the nightmare scenarios featured in blockbuster sci-fi movies like 'The Terminator,' 'WarGames' or 'Dr. Strangelove', well, that’s because the latest AI has the potential to behave just that way someday, some experts fear. In all three movies, high-powered computers take over decisions about launching nuclear weapons from the humans who designed them."

@bethsawin and @susankayequinn: Both of you are the first two people I immediately thought of regarding the collection of ideas for small making-the-world-better projects around the world. I'm seeking more for a project of my own here: scholar.social/@michaelc/11515…
(I've also read one book each from the two of you--both good stuff! Consider this an introduction if you don't know each other already.)

I started on a brief gig on a tv show this month, and I have to say, I LOVE MY JOB. Making art for yourself is awesome, but there is something about working on a team for something bigger that I just adore.
The cool thing about this project too is that it's 90% stuff I'm comfortable with, and 10% stuff I've never done before...so I get to stretch, but I don't feel super anxious.
Buried within 32 U.S.C. § 502(f)(2),
an otherwise mundane statute about the normal functioning of the National Guard system is a broad catch-all:
“Support of operations or missions undertaken by the member’s unit at the request of the President or Secretary of Defense.”
Not order, or command, or after going through the process of federalizing them.
But merely at the “request” for participation of state troops who remain under state, not federal, command.

I don't know why, but this feels sad/wrong for reasons i can't explain.
I was looking for something totally unrelated and i ended up finding AI trainer job offers in glassdor Korea.
They are remote, gig-like employments, but require very high education to conduct AI training on the sciences.

Anthropic has agreed to pay a minimum of $1.5 billion to settle the lawsuit brought by a group of authors who sued the AI company for illegally using pirated copies of their books to train large-language models. This covers 500,000 works, but judge William Alsup says if the list exceeds that number, Anthropic must pay an addition $3,000 per work. This is the largest settlement in U.S. history. John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult are part of a group of nearly 20 bestselling authors who have sued OpenAI, alleging “systematic theft on a mass scale,” and this ruling could indicate the likely outcome of that case.
