at some point the whole manipulative algorithms should be addressed (but by who and when are the biggest questions)
I have long since been of the opinion that all the big social multinational media should be seen as global technical, communication and media infrastructure. All the companies should be seized and put under some global foundation or the UN, everything open sourced, costs paid by member states and the platforms forced to remain impartial and to be organized for improving human condition, development, communication and understanding. If there is no need for profit then there is no need for entrapping users in toxic swamps of algorithm hell for more platform engagement.
They are going to play the same old "freedom of choice" defense... aren't they.
It's not our fault we made it purposefully addictive, you could just not watch it. Hasn't this been the case with every tobacco-, soda-, fast food-, etc company. For example: the whole mainstream idea that weight gain is about caloric imbalance and not consuming what you eat. That is the mainstream because is helps the food companies sway public opinion for their cause. It's not our food that is horrible slop, disruptive to metabolism and engineered to make people eat more and more and still crave more, it's the people who could just not eat it and if they do eat it they could like run 10km to sweat off the effects of like one sandwich.
They always shift the responsibility to the individuals when they are pressed on their wrongdoings. "The freedom of choice" at large is the great lie that at large keeps society running and is the main defense against any complain why something is systematically shit and fundamentally inhuman, from food to labor markets.
Transistor size downscaling is pretty much done. Also mosfets can't much improve in this race anymore. We would need a new computing paradigm to see manufacturing cost reductions or major performance leaps. For consumers thats still years away.
The silver lining is that hardware performance gains have been so minor from generation to generation that upgrading isn't really that important anymore. Like if i upgrade from next generation equivalent GPU it would give like 8% more fps... and it costs like 1,5k... No thanks.
If he says racist shit, then maybe people will stop talking that he is a pedophile that hangs around in cannibal child molestation parties of the global elite.
Racism might be a positive to some and it divides the people who who would normally want to hang him and his buddies for being a pedophile and a rapist.
Isn't the issue with Tesla doors that they are electrical and can like jam totally if battery loses power or catches fire and roasts the passengers alive? Like what Tesla engineers always knew, but it was implemented over mechanical doors because it looked cool and futuristic.
Have you ever seen the commercials from late 1800s where there is the word "electricity" in everything. Electrotherapy for every ill and electric solution for every type of drudgery, electrolyte drinks and whatnot. Same came with discovery of radioactivity. Radium drinks for long life and all that. AI is the modern buzzword for the modern snakeoil salesman.
Mainly about protectEU 2030 project. Chatcontrol 1.0 and 2.0 are kinda adjacent to it. Basically more rights to law enforcement and intelligence services in general and them having the right to read anything that goes on in the internet. By this summer they are going to present a law that would make no log VPNs illegal in the EU because law enforcement would have to have access to ip addresses and identifiable 'metadata' of the users.
you are right of course. But US surveillance has been public knowledge before snowden and even the big shock then wasn't that they were mass spying everyone, it was that they were spying US citizens as well which was supposed to be illegal. So legality doesn't even matter. They will find their loopholes anyway. It's the intent of the council and the bureaucracy for more control that worries me.
I somehow think that all these proposals for chatcontrol were not just enabled by the rise of AI, but were meant to facilitate it. Personal message scanning would be a treasure trove for anybody interested in organic training data since all public social media (reddit, ahem) have been more or less poisoned by ai messages and slop.
We have a new garbage collector and +30% cgo performance.
