Full disclosure: I'm a private lobbyist for #AIRegulation. I talk to politicians about regulating AI. Here's my word/world.
The six stages of coming to terms with AI:
1/ Ignorance
2/ Derision ("lol, stochastic parrot")
3/ Dismissal
4/ Incongruence ("Wait, it can do WHAT?!")
5/ Anxiety
6/ FearI've been through all six myself, and watched everyone around me cycle through them for four years.
Plenty of people stop at a stage and chose to stay there, including stage one.But if you get through all six, you emerge somewhere that isn't fear at all:
This is a powerful technology being deployed at speed, without accountability, and the answer to that is the same as it's always been for powerful technology. Regulation.
The direction was set years ago; the Bletchley and Seoul Declarations. What's missing is political pressure to act on them (Organise people!).
If you doubt regulation matters, note who opposes it hardest: tRump, Karp, and Thiel; who now calls anyone advocating AI regulation the literal " #Antichrist "
When opposing safety rules requires apocalyptic theology, the rules are probably touching something real.If AI worries you, the worst thing you can do is stop learning about it.
The second worst is to do nothing

We spoke with Nur Hafiza Mutalif from Singapore Red Cross about AI in humanitarian work. Why is caution a feature, not a bug? It's about impact & trust, not just efficiency. A great case study on collaboration, and forecasting leptospirosis in Thailand.

"Big data isn't just for business. Here, it's about saving lives. For humanitarian aid, we must compress global complexity into clear value to better serve communities.
That's the powerful vision shared by Nur Hafiza Mutalif of Singapore Red Cross on this week's episode.
How can data simplify humanitarian action?

How can AI be used for humanitarian causes? It's about trust and impact, not just efficiency. @NurHafizaMutalif of Singapore Red Cross explains.
They built a leptospirosis forecasting model with Dataiku, freeing staff from manual tasks while navigating a strict "do-no-harm" principle.

The mess, the Commons, and the Paths Out of Mess
https://hamishcampbell.com/the-deathcult-is-a-historical-metaphor/ We spend a lot of time talking about crises as if they're sudden events, they rarely are, crises are the outcome of decades of accumulated social, political, economic and technological choices. The challenge isn't simply understanding why societies enter periods of instability, it's understanding how they find their way back out again. History suggests something important - entering crisis is often easier than leaving it - […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-mess-the-commons-and-the-paths-out-of-mess/

My kid asked to watch one Bluey episode. Auto-play had other plans. 45 minutes later it was unboxing videos, a bedtime meltdown.
That's the problem I set out to fix with NoSuggest, a completely free, source-available PWA that strips YouTube down to just channels you choose. No recommendations, no Shorts, no trending feed, no algorithm.

Ah yes, the tale of an obliterated climate website resurrected by a trio of enterprising nerds with an open data fixation, because who needs a government when you have sisters with keyboards? 🙄🔧 Apparently, all it took was a presidential tantrum and a touch of sisterly love to save the planet from digital doom. 🌍💻
