At the macro level most criticism of Artificial Intelligence comes down to some version of SkyNet (the AI from the Terminator films that once reaching self-consciousness turns on humanity to protect itself);

so while at the micro level we wonder about the impact of an increasing use of chatbots on education, social life & the world of work, perhaps the macro critics are right; we're actually confronting an existential threat....

So is AI an issue of 'Don't look up'?

I tend to think of the existential threat stuff as a smoke screen. It paints the AI as the potential threat rather than the people who own and control it. The whole LLM thing is particularly galling: Having illegally expropriated the collective intellectual efforts of humanity they expect to claim ownership of the product for their own enrichment. It is the greatest theft ever attempted and threatens to destroy the social contracts by which we all labour for our sustenance.
in reply to Ken Milmore

@kbm0

Yes, I think the points about distraction & the greatest theft are right on the button... however, as we likely agree the existential (SkyNet-like) threat is the one that often seems to get more traction - which as you say is (in the short-term, at least) useful to the real villains of the piece

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

It may be useful to compare the advent of nuclear power & weapons as an analogy. Nuclear weapons are certainly an existential threat, but we don't imbue them with self-agency: we are concerned with how people will use them. With AI, there is a theoretical possibility of agency but most impartial experts seem to think we are nowhere near. But just the prospect makes the whole product seem more potent and stokes FOMO in investors and politicians.

In meiner Bubble nimmt es gerade überhand, dass Leute nicht mehr die echten URLs sondern #Google Share Links auf Seiten posten. Wenn man die Seiten sehen will, wird man von Google getrackt, ohne von Google zu kommen (sondern zB von hier).
Das ist natürlich kein böser Willen, sondern Bequemlichkeit der Postenden.

Diese Links kommen wohl aus #Chrome oder dem #GoogleNow Screen. Man kann das Verhalten aber auf Android leicht abschalten:

* In Google Now oben auf sein Profilbild klicken
* Einstellungen
* Weitere Einstellungen
* "Links zu Webseiten kürzen" ausstellen

Wenn man schon dabei ist, kann man auch gleich "Links in App öffnen ausschalten", dann hält sich auch Godgle Now an die Einstellung für den Default Browser. 😀

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

This is the guy who donated £257m to Tony Blair's institute and wants to use all our UK data to train Oracle's AI. Digital ID cards are a step.on the way.

I don't want to be on the side of Farrage but the idea of ID cards done the Blair/Ellison way is very concerning.
in reply to Eye

@grb090423 But Farage is sponsored by Musk. Musk is partnered with Thiel of Palantir. Palantir is partnered with Oracle. Oracle is partnered with Tony Blair Institute.

In other words, Labour and ReformUK are *BOTH* in cahoots with those inventing & implementing this system of the #uk #digitalid - one side openly advocates for it, the other is controlled opposition. Nobody is really against it despite how it's being presented to the public, just follow the money trail.

in reply to Rastal

You're quite right.
Don't misunderstand me though, I'm most definitely NOT siding with Farage. Nor Blair, Thiel or any of them.
I think we're in a very crappy situation right now.

The more we push ourselves to fit toxic productivity culture, the further we fall away from a sustainable life.

Autistic bodyminds are not built to grind forever.

We are built to live in rhythm and flow.

That is not weakness or a disorder.

That is the wisdom of the way we’ve been created.

Japan has unveiled a #breakthrough that could reshape the way we think about energy. Engineers at Kyoto University have developed a coin-sized generator that harvests electricity from moisture in the air. Unlike solar panels or turbines, this tiny device works 24/7, rain or shine, producing a continuous flow of clean power

“Cooperate o vi uccidiamo”


Un report dell’Euro–Med Human Rights Monitor denuncia l’uccisione di una famiglia che si era rifiutata di collaborare con le IDF. Tra le altre notizie: negli Stati Uniti si prepara il crimine d’opinione, un’altra azione di boicottaggio contro Israele a Ge

Dal 26 al 29 settembre la newsletter esce in edizione ridotta — se siete a Roma, passate a salutarci al festival di Iconografie!

Nonostante le prese di posizione anche più marcate e l’allargarsi del fronte degli stati che riconoscono lo stato palestinese, continua a mancare un’azione internazionale per fermare il genocidio a Gaza. E quindi le IDF non hanno motivo di interrompere i crimini di guerra. Il primo di cui scriviamo oggi è denunciato in un nuovo report dell’Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. Sabato l’esercito israeliano ha assassinato 9 membri di una famiglia nella città di Gaza, nel campo profughi al–Shati. Dopo quasi due anni di aggressione di Gaza gli attacchi in cui vengono uccisi tutti o quasi tutti i membri di una famiglia non fanno più notizia, ma questo è un caso particolarmente allarmante: l’attacco è stato lanciato il giorno dopo che la famiglia aveva rifiutato una richiesta di collaborazione da parte delle IDF. Specificamente, i militari israeliani avevano chiesto di formare una milizia locale, che potesse compiere azioni illegali sul territorio nei pressi del campo profughi. L’accordo avrebbe probabilmente preso forma di una nuova milizia analoga alle Forze popolari di Yasser Abu Shabab, il gruppo miliziano sostenuto da Tel Aviv diventato famigerato per come regolarmente attacca i convogli che trasportano alimenti e aiuti umanitari — quando ci sono. Mentre scriviamo non è ancora chiaro se le persone sono le stesse che avevano ricevuto la proposta, e l’hanno rifiutata, o se sono stati uccisi loro familiari. Euro–Med denuncia quella che è a tutti gli effetti una politica ricattatoria, di coercizione: o si accetta di lavorare con i militari israeliani, o si viene uccisi: “Quella che era iniziata come una forma di estorsione individuale si è trasformata in una pratica sistematica e collettiva volta a smantellare il tessuto sociale palestinese, costringendo le persone a tradire le proprie comunità.” (Euro–Med Human Rights Monitor)

Israel-Premier Tech has been barred from participating in the upcoming Giro dell’Emilia cycling race in Italy due to Gaza war protest concerns, organizers announced on Saturday.

The decision follows recent disruptions at the Vuelta a España, where pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the team’s participation, leading to the cancellation of the final stage.

The exclusion comes amid growing international calls to ban Israel from global cultural and sporting events in response to its genocide in Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of nearly 66,000 Palestinians.

I'm reading Lisa Barrett's work on emotions, supposedly a critique of "the classical view" on emotions, which includes Silvan Tomkins seminal studies on affect. I was really excited about what the "new" paradigm could be. To my disappointment, she appears to miss the difference between what Tomkins called affect (which are universal and very few) and complex emotion (which are cultural, constructed by us and never exist alone, ie. without other emotions modulating, hence complex).

in reply to Vesna Manojlović

@becha Silvan Tomkins wrote nearly 2000 pages on affect based on that perspective over several decades. The question is why one of the leading emotion researchers today seems to position herself as breaking with tradition by re-introducing that very perspective.

Dico a G. che la chiamerà A. dal numero 555-123456 per fissare un appuntamento e mi dice di dirgli di mandarle un messaggio via WA per preavvertire della telefonata, perché "non rispondo a numeri sconosciuti".

Mi chiedo perché non aggiungere subito il numero in rubrica e, al limite, cancellarlo tra un paio di mesi quando non servirà più.

Non è che uno possa sempre mandare un messaggio, che potresti anche non leggere, e poi chiamare.
