  1. Aus aktuellem Anlass ist meine neue taz-Kolumne „Die Scham wechselt zu Friedrich Merz“ schon online.
    Diesmal geht’s um digitale Gewalt – und wie wir sie vielleicht nicht erst in 100 Jahren, sondern schon ab diesem Jahr in den Griff bekommen.

  2. Colorado’s Democratic AG, Phil Weiser, defended the #law, saying #states have long regulated #medical practices, including treatments carried out through #speech, to protect #patients from substandard care. He warned that a #SCOTUS ruling against #Colorado would undercut the ability of states to #regulate other professions & make it harder to sue all kinds of professionals, including doctors & lawyers, for giving bad advice.

  3. If you got around 20 min to spare and get some, in my opinion, good illustrated points about AI regulation (in particular the WHY and HOW) - here is a good video to spend some time on

    #Regulate #AI

  4. The #FoundationModels of AI (Transformer, LLM, call it whatever) are troublesome, not because they are deficient, but because they are endowed with #emergent behaviours that suddenly spring from 500-billion-plus trainable parameters and terabytes upon terabytes of human behavioural data. No human could grasp the aggregate meaning of that unanticipated, implicit, emergent behaviour. No human could divine the outcomes of their unforeseeable concoctions. Worse of all, all these models are inhered with biases and prejudices, both intentional and unintentional, that are embedded deep within these deep-learning models, whose untoward conducts are ever so subtle and complex as to be casually observable.

    The invidious effects of these poorly-understood foundation models are insidious. By the time their detrimental behaviour becomes observable, it would be too late for society to countermand, for these models are already enmeshed within the social-political-economic fabric of the whole of humanity.

    It is easy, for a lawyer like me, reflexively to shout, "#Regulate #AI". But in the present heady mix of delirium, confusion, delusion, and collusion, regulate exactly what and precisely how, pray tell.

    Who will save society from AI?

    Well, perhaps AI might....🤦‍♂️

    Matrix multiplication is not inhered with empathy, conscience, judgement, elation, shame, and the like. Those are innately human characteristics, neither mechanical nor mathematical. Let us not surrender to the silicon-based machines the #ethical duty to be thinking, feeling carbon-based beings.

  7. Sauer told justices the #tariffs are “regulatory tariffs.”
    
“They are not revenue-raising tariffs. The fact that they raise revenue is only incidental,” he said, arguing that #Trump was not exercising an authority to #tax but rather to #regulate foreign commerce.
    
But Trump has regularly touted the amount of money tariffs have purportedly brought in.

  11. The decision comes amid a range of other #federal & #state efforts to #regulate the #lives of #transgender people, including which sports competitions they can join & which bathrooms they can use. In April, Trump’s admin sued Maine for not complying w/the govt’s push to ban transgender athletes in girls #sports.

  12. At the most fundamental, GenAI companies should be regulated to both a) transparently disclose and b) enforce hard limits on their resource usage.

    (I disagree with the premise that unfettered AI is inevitable, but because so many people believe that, it has become reality.)

  16. #Formaldehyde, the #chemical of choice for undertakers & embalmers, is also used in products like furniture & clothes. But it can also cause #cancer & severe #respiratory problems. So, in 2021, the #EPA began a new effort to #regulate it.
    The #chemicals industry fought back w/an intensity that astonished even seasoned ofcls. Its campaign was led by Lynn Dekleva, then a lobbyist at the American Chemistry Council, an #industry group that spends millions on govt #lobbying.

  21. How is this NOT illegal?!! "deliberately withholding capacity at certain times to ensure that they can push prices higher and maximise profits" ALP/LNP would rather squeeze the last dollar from the strugglers rather than stand up to their business donors #prioritisedontcompromise #regulate #ethics

  22. 🔥The US government-funded a ‘private social network’ which posts personal attacks on pesticide critics 🔥

    In 2017, two United Nations experts called for a treaty to strictly #regulate #dangerous #pesticides, which they said were a “global human rights concern”, citing scientific research showing pesticides can cause cancers, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and other health problems.

    Publicly, the pesticide industry’s lead trade association dubbed the recommendations “unfounded and sensational assertions”.
    👉 In private, industry advocates have gone further.👈

    ⚠️Derogatory profiles of the two UN experts, Hilal Elver and Baskut Tuncak, are hosted on an online private portal for pesticide company employees and a range of influential allies.

    Members can access a wide range of #personal #information about hundreds of individuals from around the world deemed a threat to industry interests,
    including the US food writers Michael #Pollan and Mark #Bittman, the Indian environmentalist Vandana #Shiva and the Nigerian activist Nnimmo #Bassey.

    🆘 Many profiles include #personal #details such as the names of family members, phone numbers, home addresses and even house values.

    The profiling is part of an effort – that was
    💥financed, in part, by #US #taxpayer #dollars
    – to #downplay pesticide dangers, #discredit opponents and #undermine international policymaking, according to court records, emails and other documents obtained by the non-profit newsroom Lighthouse Reports

  24. Holy shit

    #SCOTUS curbs #FederalAgency #power, #overturning #Chevron #precedent
    
The #ChevronDeference precedent was targeted by #conservatives who say the government gives too much power to federal agencies.
The decision curtails the power of govt agencies to #regulate, overturning a 40-yr-old #legal precedent long targeted by #conservatives who say the govt gives expert career professionals too much authority.

  25. The admin rolled out the proposed rule in Sept 2023, taking in over 300k comments from the public.

    Prior to the passage of the Bipartisan #SaferCommunities Act, those "engaged in the business" of #firearms dealer were required to #register to become a federally #licensed firearm dealer, acc/to the language previously used. The definition that #ATF is implementing on Thurs is more specific to better #regulate the market in accordance w/the new federal #law, acc/to the WH.

  26. Problem of #Misinformation in Era Without #Trust. #ElonMusk thinks #freemarket of ideas will self-correct. #Liberals want to #regulate it. Both R missing deeper #predicament. By reveling in chaos Musk has turned #X in2 an experiment in whether “the best source of truth” means anything w/out a foundation of trust to support it.
