  3. theguardian.com/global-develop; alnap.org/help-library/resourc. "The #humanitarian #aid #system is crumbling as #funding shrinks, pressures increase & #governments not only fail to protect #civilians but are increasingly responsible for endangering them, a new #report warned on Thursday as figures revealed 64 million fewer #people received aid last year."

  4. The year is 2027. Email is #unreliable; little gets past #Gmail filters without a contract to receive your #email. #Governments don't stop it because (a) they have a contract, and (b) they don't understand how email works. Or worked.

    #Tech companies finally realize that #SS7 is #insecure. Phone calls and texts can't be #trusted. Machine-learning-generated ("AI") audio and video means video and voice calls are doubly cursed - too many #FAANG executives have had embarrassing public #failures, falling #victim to the corporate equivalent of the grandparent #scam.

    Few people use #TOTP, because the tech #companies don't promote it, they each call it something else and make it work differently, and they all want you to use their "app" rather than the standard 3-line script that can generate the correct code given a key and the current timestamp. The technically-minded try to educate their relatives and friends as part of the free-tech-support assumption, but no one cares.

    #Account #recovery now involves waiting at home to sign for an envelope delivered by the lowest-cost (and therefore bribe-able) courier to the #registered home address of the account. Millions each year lose their email, #photos, videos, "purchased" digital #content, password vaults, etc because they've moved since they set up the account, or they have a P.O. box and companies don't believe those #exist.

    The #internet is a vast digital #wasteland - wait, a saviour onstage: "Walled Garden-Net!".

    Burn it.

    A Niantic executive said he could see #governments and #militaries buying Niantic #geospatial #AI trained on player data, but the company said it’s still early days.

  6. Mira Murati is #ChiefTechnologyOfficer at #OpenAI, leading the teams behind #DALLE and #ChatGPT. Murati can forthrightly discuss the dangers of #AI:

    “It’s important for companies like ours to bring this into the public consciousness in a way that’s controlled and responsible. But we’re a small group of people and we need a ton more input that goes beyond the technologies-—definitely #regulators and #governments and everyone else.”
