"China's open-weight models can run on anyone's servers, meaning that #compute is less of a problem than the headline numbers suggest.
#China also has almost three times as much installed electricity-generating capacity as #America, and its lead is growing."
I think Europe leads neither in energy nor compute, but we do have a lot of experience with abuse of totalitarian power.
This sensitivity resulted in early european #regulations and legal #restrictions.We will see which approach benefits societies most!

As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
[Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]

W3 Prompt #222: Wea’ve Written Weekly
Intro
Dear friends,
Welcome to our W3 Poetry Prompt, which goes live on Wednesdays at The Skeptic’s Kaddish.
You may click here for a fuller explanation of W3; but here’s the ‘tldr’ version:
Part I
The main ingredient of W3 is a weekly poem written by a Poet of the Week (PoW), which participants read before participating in the prompt.
Part II
The second ingredient is a writing guideline (or two) provided by the PoW. Guidelines may include, but are not limited to: word counts, poetic forms, inclusion of specific words, and use of particular poetic devices.
Part III
After five days, when the prompt closes, the PoW shall select one participant’s poem as the W3 prompt for the following week, and its author becomes the next PoW.
Simple enough, right?
Kindly note: All entries for the W3 poetry prompt must be the original work of the submitting author. AI-generated poetry is not permitted.
Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!

I would think that with this new House Bill, HB 1408, Restricting Minor Access to Social Media

that Mastodon and other DeCentralized Social Media outlets would have an increase in popularity and use and a growth in users.

A.I. Zero-Sum Hypothesis
I was kicking around with the idea of a glass ceiling. The preliminary was run through A.I. (Google Search) , mostly for entertainment purposes, but also to see if there is anything comparable.
#AI #Artificialintelligence #Canada #Canadianpoet #Depression #Freeverse #Hypothesis #Poetry #Restrictions #Suicide #Thepoetshouse #Zerosum #anxiety #mentalHealth #suicidePrevention
As I did I could see the possibility of a “Zero-Sum Situation” developing in the future. Will A.I’s capabilities outweigh human expression to the point where fictious writing posted on the internet is deem a danger to their existence, and the proper authority is dispatched to their location by A.I. immediately? In some instances it can be beneficial in the saving of lives, yet when the pendulum swings too far the the right other people will be affected as well. Its all speculative yet if not checked or investigated, by the time it has evolved it may be too late to stop it.
Judge for yourself.
The piece:
Untitled
The edge of the red rose
cut the glass
the ceiling fell
landing all around me.
What horridness
for now, shame concludes my life.
Undeserving am I
for that glass ceiling
was meant forever.

I will say it again: the #UK #Supreme #Court has become an absolute menace to #vulnerable #people & #minorities in this country! The #judges on that court should be ashamed of themselves!
