#regulate — Public Fediverse posts

This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**

“Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

THE MACHINE MADE ME DO IT!!

Machines have no moral responsibility.

Human beings decide what is built, what it is trained on, where it is used, what its output is trusted for, and what happens next.

When something goes wrong, blaming “the AI” hides the people and institutions whose choices produced the result.

That is not only foolish.

It is dangerous.

A powerful tool can cause real harm.

But responsibility remains with the humans who create it, deploy it, profit from it, regulate it, and use it.

Perhaps the dumbest war, the #WarOnDrugs, continues to fail the west abysmally. Not only does it set aside people suffering from serious mental disease (most likely caused by social disease), but it also creates massive income sources for criminal organizations around the world.

It doesn't help anyone. #Legalize, #Regulate.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Aber nun ist es leider amtlich.
So wie es im Moment aussieht, werde ich im September rüber fliegen und meine "Black Hood" besuchen!

#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.
