  1. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    In addition to, not as a substitute for, individual responsibility, there is a collective responsibility.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 1 “Boyhood and Youth” (1913)

  2. I'm done using AI - Brett Codes

    (…) I was able to essentially connect Linear to Claude Code and have it build out a non-trivial project from start to finish without me editing a line of code. The work got done faster than I could have done on my own. And I barely had to think. While that sounds amazing if you're a person who profits from more work getting done, there are immense drawbacks to this, which I'll share more about in a moment. I share this anecdote to say: I understand what the LLM-based coding harnesses are capable of. I write this all from the perspective of an experienced lead engineer who used these tools in earnest for more than a year. And I cannot in good conscious continue to use AI for coding (or anything else) any longer. (…)brettcodes.com

    I do not like this world where people are using AI to generate art, music, writing, and software. So I will not use AI.
    This.

    2/ #Shared #responsibility is for all people to do (I was going to say "should be for all people to do" but I think it "is" because we have a natural and human effect on all simply by existing).

    Not just #polycules, #polyamory, etc - All humans having a wider #consideration / #responsibility / #respect - incrementing as time goes on.

    [not sure what #Plato suggested specifically but yes I think upgrading to the above covers this probably as more-responsible humans]

  8. The U.S. Took Over Venezuela’s #Oil #Industry. Where Has All the #Money Gone?

    source: cfr.org/articles/the-u-s-took-…

    In the first four months of the United States exerting control over Venezuela’s oil exports, almost one hundred million barrels of oil worth an estimated $8 billion have flowed through a process marked by no #transparency and minimal oversight. While the #Trump administration has repeatedly framed this #control as benefiting both countries, it has not publicly disclosed how much Venezuelan oil it has sold, how much revenue it has collected, or how it has used those funds since seizing control of the country’s oil exports following the January 3 #military intervention that deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás #Maduro.

  9. #Review: Spider-Man: Brand New Day – A #Hero for the #Surveillance State?

    source: themoviedb.org/movie/969681-sp…

    At first, #Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks like another emotional #superhero #story. Peter Parker has lost everything. No one remembers him, not even MJ. He searches for his #identity while trying to protect #NewYork. The #film spends much of its time on #trauma, #loneliness, and #mental #health.

    But behind this personal story lies a political #message. The film presents mass surveillance as something necessary and even heroic. This is where the #movie becomes much more interesting—and much more troubling.

    Spider-Man uses powerful surveillance #technology to watch the city. He collects video from many security cameras. He scans every face to find criminals. Even the #police admit that this is probably #illegal. Still, the film treats these actions as acceptable because Spider-Man is one of the "good guys."

    Jean Grey—now portrayed by Sadie Sink (She kept her role a huge secret beforehand for marketing reasons.) in the Marvel Universe—falls into the facial recognition trap set by Spider-Man's surveillance program. If, by the end, you feel sorry for Jean Grey because the script wants you to and you’ve let yourself be swept up in the drama, then please remember that at the beginning of the movie, Jean possessed an old man and sent him running into the street so he would be brutally run over. She’s a mass murderer who’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She could easily achieve this goal with her incredible superpower, but she makes it unnecessarily complicated by first freeing the Scorpion, which is what draws Spider-Man's attention to her in the first place.

    This idea has a long #history in popular culture. The strongest comparison is George Orwell's 1984. #Orwell imagined a #society where every citizen is watched. Surveillance is presented as a tool for #security, but it destroys #freedom. In Brand New Day, the situation is different because Spider-Man is a hero, not a dictator. Yet the basic question remains the same: Who watches the watchers? If one person can see everyone, who controls that person?

    The film never really asks this #question. Instead, it assumes that surveillance is good as long as the right people #control it. This is one of its biggest #weaknesses.

    Another interesting comparison is The Dark Knight. In Christopher Nolan's film, #Batman creates a machine that can monitor every mobile phone in Gotham. Lucius Fox calls it too dangerous because it gives one person unlimited power. Batman agrees. He uses the system only once to catch the #Joker and then destroys it immediately.

    Brand New Day takes a very different approach. Spider-Man's surveillance technology is not treated as a #moral #problem. Instead, it becomes a normal #tool of #crime fighting. The ethical debate that makes The Dark Knight so powerful is almost completely missing.

    The transcript also compares Spider-Man's work with modern surveillance technology. Peter Parker works closely with the Department of Damage Control and helps collect huge amounts of personal data. The review argues that this creates a positive image of a close relationship between #government institutions and powerful technology companies.

    This makes the film feel surprisingly modern. Today, governments and private companies collect enormous amounts of digital information. Cameras, facial recognition, smartphones and artificial #intelligence make surveillance easier than ever before. The movie reflects this reality but rarely questions it.

    One of the most interesting contradictions is #PeterParker himself. He wants #privacy for his own life. He hides his identity and wants to escape public attention. At the same time, he watches everyone else and scans thousands of faces. The film never fully explores this contradiction.

    This creates an uncomfortable message. Privacy seems important for the hero but less important for ordinary citizens.

    The citizens themselves hardly have a voice. They mostly watch, cheer and accept Spider-Man's actions without #discussion. They never decide whether they want to live in such a #society. They simply #trust the hero.

    As #entertainment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers impressive visuals and emotional performances. However, its political ideas deserve much more attention. The film normalizes mass surveillance while presenting it as an act of kindness and #responsibility. It replaces difficult ethical questions with emotional storytelling.

    Unlike 1984, it does not warn us about surveillance. Unlike The #DarkKnight, it does not seriously question its use. Instead, it asks the #audience to trust the hero completely.

    That may be the film's most surprising message. The greatest danger is not an #evil government forcing surveillance on its people. The greater danger is that we willingly accept surveillance because it is carried out by someone we like.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day succeeds as an emotional superhero #drama. As a political film, however, it raises fascinating questions without giving convincing answers.

    If you insist on laying dicks on the table, I also am a senior software engineer with 30 years experience and have been distributing multiple popular FOSS projects for >25 years.

    And I still say there is no such thing as "responsible LLM use". Even if you don't care about the ethical issues - which I believe would, on its own, qualify someone as a low-grade sociopath - then the legal and environmental and social issues it brings up should put the final nail(s) in the coffin.

    "But I'm using the slop machine well and wisely" is, in fact, "I like slop-coding, actually" rephrased so very, very slightly. And that means you failed the litmus test from my original post...

  13. yes. i understand that #social #responsibility goes a long way in creating common grounds. please, understand in return:

    . profiling every1 for actions and behaviours of a few is an unjust excuse to enforce collective punishment. (should #homeless assume all #housed folks dont gaf about us?)

    2. living unsupported in lack and despair creates a 'fckU2' from being left to suffer and die in ignored silence...so if no one cares about our very lives, why should we give a sh¡t about a clean #street?

  19. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist

  24. Instead of thinking about hope, I think about possibility. When we hope, we have no control over what may come to pass. We put all our trust and energy into the whims of fate. We abdicate responsibility. We allow ourselves to be complacent. We are all just people living our lives as best we can, aren't we? It is easy to feel helpless. It is much harder to make ourselves uncomfortable by imagining the impossible to be possible. But we can do that. We can act, even in the smallest of ways.

  26. 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.

  28. #Meta Says US States Seek $1.4 Trillion In #Penalties In August's Youth Safety #Trial

    source: tech.slashdot.org/story/26/07/…

    Meta put forward the figure in its response to the attorneys general's filings on how penalties should be calculated if the states prevailed at trial. The number, which has not previously been disclosed and is close to Meta's market capitalization of around $1.5 trillion, comes ahead of an August trial in Oakland, California, over the claims brought by California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey against the company. Meta said the amount was unsupported by the evidence. "A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement," the company said in the filing. "The plaintiffs' outlandish calculations have no basis in fact or law," the company said in a statement, adding that it would continue to defend itself against the states' demands.

    A spokesperson for California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement the lawsuit "alleges Meta has prioritized profits over the safety of kids and fueled the mental health crisis we see impacting a generation of American children. The California Department of Justice looks forward to holding Meta fully accountable at trial in August...."

    Meta has denied the allegations, saying the attorneys general have no evidence it misled consumers about its platforms' alleged addictiveness because "social media addiction" is not an established psychiatric condition, and therefore statements that its platforms were not addictive could not be false... Last month, [U.S. District Judge] Rogers rejected Meta's bid to cancel the trial, saying there remained factual disputes over whether its social media platforms were addictive, whether Meta falsely denied it designed them that way, and whether it "partially" directed the platforms at children.

  29. DON'T BLAME THE HAMMER

    People don't blame the hammer for a broken window.

    They blame the person swinging it.

    AI is no different.

    Without human training data, it knows nothing.

    Without human prompts, it says nothing.

    Without human decisions, it is never deployed.

    When AI causes harm, ask what the humans built, what they trained it on, what they permitted, and what they asked it to do.

    The tool matters.

    But responsibility still belongs to the hand holding the tool.
