#Governments in the #EU will have a hard time explaining away why they still suck up to the #FossilFuelIndustry and weirdo #fascist #billionaires when all of us are directly impacted by the devastating impact of the #heatwaves suffocating #Europe right now that could have been prevented decades ago, and yet radical steps are still not taken today to address the issue.

#Anthropic proposes a #framework for #governments to address #catastrophicrisks from powerful #AI models. The framework suggests granting governments legal authority to block or deter dangerous deployments, requiring transparency and independent evaluation from developers, and implementing robust security measures. It also emphasises the need for societal resilience against potential risks, including biological, cyber, loss of control. https://www.anthropic.com/policy-on-the-ai-exponential?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

You know that I always try to be balanced. For example, if the government implements a good policy then I praise it and if it is bad then I criticise it. I won't follow people's words that easily, especially if they are not my friends, you know.

I don't care of course, whatever. My mother is like that too, although in her case it happens a lot at her workplace. Many leaders are wrong, they must be told that they are wrong, they must be criticised. One of the reasons my mother was often discriminated against, sad.

Honestly, I'm often disliked because people say I like to argue with people who other people consider influential or powerful. When I was at school, I used to argue with my teachers a lot, of course, because most of them were not so smart enough to be my teachers.

Sorry for those of you who are offended, it's the fact. Not everything that the authorities say must be accepted or obeyed at face value. It's surprising how many people can easily believe anything the government says. I mean, at least check the truth first, be critical.

There are still quite a lot of people who think that whatever an authority, such as the government, says is accepted as true. Argumentum ad verecundiam or appeal to authority. Thankfully I'm not like that, especially since I'm knowledgeable and well educated.

@mittechreview @mit-technology-review-mittechreview
As we have observed from the #oligopolistic #BigTech in the past two decades, these unbridled #capitalistic endeavors do not lend themselves to #selfregulation for the #publicgood. Likewise, it will be naive to carry-on hoping that #OpenAI and the other #generativeAI players will #selfregulate. That's the #duty of elected #governments and #public #agencies, and the promulgation of effective #AI #regulations is now #longOverdue! -
The world can no longer afford two things:
🔸the costs of economic inequality;
🔸and the rich.Between 2020 and 2022, the world’s most affluent 1% of people captured nearly twice as much of the new global wealth created as did the other 99% of individuals put together
And in 2019 they emitted as much #carbon #dioxide as the poorest two-thirds of humanity.
In the decade to 2022, the world’s billionaires more than doubled their wealth, to almost US$12 trillion.The evidence gathered by social epidemiologists, including us, shows that large differences in income are a powerful #social #stressor that is increasingly rendering societies dysfunctional.
For example, bigger gaps between rich and poor are accompanied by higher rates of #homicide and #imprisonment.
They also correspond to more #infant #mortality, #obesity, #drug #abuse and @COVID-19 #deaths, as well as higher rates of teenage pregnancy and lower levels of child well-being, social mobility and public trust
The #homicide rate in the United States
— the most unequal Western democracy
— is more than 11 times that in Norway (see go.nature.com/49fuujr).
#Imprisonment rates are ten times as high, and infant mortality and obesity rates twice as high.These problems don’t just hit the poorest individuals, although the poorest are most badly affected.
Even #affluent people would enjoy a better quality of life if they lived in a country with a more equal distribution of wealth, similar to a Scandinavian nation.
They might see improvements in their mental health and have a reduced chance of becoming victims of violence; their children might do better at school and be less likely to take dangerous drugs.The costs of inequality are also excruciatingly high for #governments.
For example, the Equality Trust, a charity based in London (of which we are patrons and co-founders), estimated that the United Kingdom alone could save more than £100 billion ($126 billion) per year if it reduced its inequalities to the average of those in the five countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that have the smallest income differentials
— Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Norway and the Netherlands5.
And that is considering just four areas: greater number of years lived in full health, better mental health, reduced homicide rates and lower imprisonment rates.
Many commentators have drawn attention to the environmental need to limit economic growth and instead prioritize sustainability and well-being.
Here we argue that tackling inequality is the foremost task of that transformation.
Greater @equality will reduce unhealthy and excess consumption, and will increase the #solidarity and #cohesion that are needed to make societies more adaptable in the face of climate and other emergencies. -
The world can no longer afford two things:
🔸the costs of economic inequality;
🔸and the rich.Between 2020 and 2022, the world’s most affluent 1% of people captured nearly twice as much of the new global wealth created as did the other 99% of individuals put together
And in 2019 they emitted as much #carbon #dioxide as the poorest two-thirds of humanity.
In the decade to 2022, the world’s billionaires more than doubled their wealth, to almost US$12 trillion.The evidence gathered by social epidemiologists, including us, shows that large differences in income are a powerful #social #stressor that is increasingly rendering societies dysfunctional.
For example, bigger gaps between rich and poor are accompanied by higher rates of #homicide and #imprisonment.
They also correspond to more #infant #mortality, #obesity, #drug #abuse and @COVID-19 #deaths, as well as higher rates of teenage pregnancy and lower levels of child well-being, social mobility and public trust
The #homicide rate in the United States
— the most unequal Western democracy
— is more than 11 times that in Norway (see go.nature.com/49fuujr).
#Imprisonment rates are ten times as high, and infant mortality and obesity rates twice as high.These problems don’t just hit the poorest individuals, although the poorest are most badly affected.
Even #affluent people would enjoy a better quality of life if they lived in a country with a more equal distribution of wealth, similar to a Scandinavian nation.
They might see improvements in their mental health and have a reduced chance of becoming victims of violence; their children might do better at school and be less likely to take dangerous drugs.The costs of inequality are also excruciatingly high for #governments.
For example, the Equality Trust, a charity based in London (of which we are patrons and co-founders), estimated that the United Kingdom alone could save more than £100 billion ($126 billion) per year if it reduced its inequalities to the average of those in the five countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that have the smallest income differentials
— Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Norway and the Netherlands5.
And that is considering just four areas: greater number of years lived in full health, better mental health, reduced homicide rates and lower imprisonment rates.

#UNClimateChange secretariat told Reuters it is up to the countries themselves to decide whether to impose uniform standards.
Although a coal plant, a hotel, chocolate stores, a movie and an airport expansion don't seem like efforts to combat global warming, nothing prevented the #governments that funded them from reporting them as such to the #UnitedNations and counting them toward their giving total.https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6861666
