#regulate — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

🔥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

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.

Climate startup Make Sunsets releases toxic chemicals into the atmosphere to block the sun, alarming scientists

> #injecting large amounts of #particles into the #atmosphere would not undo the effects of increasing carbon dioxide levels, but rather create #another #climate scenario. It might bring down temperatures but would not, eg, reduce ocean acidification. The #consequences for precipitation and wind patterns are #unknown.
> There are currently #nolaws or treaties that #regulate weather #modification or #climate #engineering and I’m afraid we will in the future see more companies doing this.
