Rather poignant comment on that thread:

“It is artificial, but is not intelligent. Language arose from intelligence, not the other way around.”

I hadn't thought about it in quite those terms before, but that person is correct. LLMs can never be true #AI because they're based on language processing. In an actually intelligent being, language isn't intelligence; it's merely how intelligences communicate. It's like making an Ethernet port and calling it a “CPU”.

｢ Since LLMs present themselves as neutral, and dispassionate, opposition to their output becomes opposition to objective progress: bug fixes, security hypotheticals, features. Progress is whatever the LLM, under my own careful eyes, says it is. Interactions with others become formalities ｣

*** #ECSM 2026 kicks off ***

This year’s European Cybersecurity Month launched today at @Curia

Massimo Attoresi, Deputy Head of Unit, Technology and Privacy at #EDPS delivers a keynote speech on the human factor in cybersecurity, 2026's focus.

📊 The numbers tell a story: of 115 personal data breaches notified to the EDPS so far in 2026, half are the result of cyberattacks. The first time they've been the leading cause. Many of these breaches begin with the person sitting at the keyboard. #AI is being used to augment attacks, making phishing and social engineering harder to spot and putting personal data at greater risk.

While technical defences matter, resilience is built by people who are trained in cybersecurity and empowered to act. 🛡️Our position is that strong cyber defence begins with obligatory training for management as well as for all staff on the digital front lines.

"The most resilient organisation in Europe will be the one where every employee, from the newest intern to the most senior official, feels equipped, trusted and genuinely responsible for the security of the organisation and the protection of the fundamental rights of any individual" added Massimo💡.

European Cybersecurity Month is the European Union’s annual campaign dedicated to promoting #cybersecurity among EU citizens and organisations. It brings together the various EU institutions, bodies and agencies 🇪🇺 to raise awareness of cybersecurity challenges ⚠️ and provide hands-on information 🛠️ and good practices ✅ for strengthening digital security 🔒.

*** 24th meeting of the Central and Eastern Europe Data Protection Authorities ***

Today, at the 24th meeting of the Central and Eastern Europe Data Protection Authorities (CEEDPA) in Zadar, the @Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiórowski spoke about the challenges of assessing the impact of AI systems on data protection and fundamental rights.

As AI Act Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIAs), Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and cybersecurity risk assessments increasingly intersect, Wojciech Wiewiórowski stressed that they are not interchangeable and that the AI Act does not set aside existing data protection or cybersecurity frameworks.

“The real measure of compliance is not whether an organisation completed compliance forms. It is whether those assessments improved how the AI system is designed, deployed, monitored, and governed, and whether fundamental rights are genuinely protected as a result” said the Supervisor.

Finally, he also underlined the importance of making the assessments work together coherently, while avoiding the risk of treating fundamental rights as a procedural checklist.

*** AI and competition law - Lunch Talk at Columbia University ***

Earlier this week, Leonardo Cervera-Navas, EDPS Secretary-General, and Sonia Pérez Romero, Head of AI Unit, took part in a Lunch Talk at Columbia University dedicated to competition law and AI.

The discussion was led by Professor Lina Khan, head of the newly established Center for Law and the Economy at Columbia University, and co-hosted by Professor Anu Bradford, Henry L. Moses Professor of International Law and Organizations at Columbia Law School.

The Secretary-General highlighted the EDPS’s longstanding work on the links between data protection, competition and consumer protection, and spoke about the EDPS's more recent role under AI Act.

In his intervention, Leonardo Cervera-Navas stressed that “Data Sovereignty will be crucial in the discussion about attracting AI capabilities in Europe. Through the GDPR the European Union has positioned itself as the continent with the best data quality in the world”.

Sonia Pérez Romero said: “Market Surveillance Authorities under the AI Act have two immediate objectives: to ensure strong AI Governance and supporting responsible innovation. The EDPS is targeting both of them with its landmark initiatives, the AI Act Correspondents Network and the Pilot Project for an AI Regulatory Sandbox”.

@noybeu @EUCommission Ireland? Big Tech’s bitch? Aral, how rude!

Oh?

“Before the meeting closes, Prime Minister Kelly has a favour to ask. Europe is steaming about privacy and Facebook, and they’re about to adopt a law – the General Data Protection Regulation – to crack down on how Big Tech uses personal data. Exactly who will enforce the law is still being negotiated. Kenny wants it to be Ireland. We do too. But we’ve got a problem because no one believes Ireland will be tough enough on the tech companies. With good reason. Kenny needs to make it seem like his regulator – the Irish Data Protection Commission – is on the case right now, doing proper oversight, a watchdog Europe can trust with this responsibility. “Ireland’s been criticized,” he says, which is true, and asks if we can assist in “building up the credibility” of his regulator by talking publicly about its audits of Facebook privacy, and the changes we’ve made because of it. In other words, we should tell the world that the lapdog has been a pit bull. Of course, Sheryl agrees to this.”

One of the excuses that comes up again and again about GenAI/LLMs is "It's okay to use as long as a human is checking the output."

In the real world, as the thread attests, humans *aren't* checking outputs, because their money-grabbing bosses are telling them to hurry up, time is money, why so slow etc.

If GenAI/LLMs are used to make something, the most realistic assumption has to be that it will be used as sloppily as the company can get away with.

(And even if this was solved, it would still leave environmental problems, labour theft, energy theft, water theft, deskilling, dependence on fascist CEOs etc.)

Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.

Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:

Alt...

Qui a intérêt à réguler l’intelligence artificielle ? Les patrons d’OpenAI et d’Anthropic ont été conviés au Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, mercredi 23 septembre, pour évoquer la dangerosité de leurs modèles. En insistant sur les risques « existentiels » de leurs créations, ils espèrent pouvoir contrôler la manière dont le secteur sera surveillé. Et contenir leurs concurrents.

Alt...

Responsabilité des entreprises Car après un long moment de sidération face à l’irruption dans les médias du discours techno-apocalyptique qui est commun dans une partie de la Silicon Valley – et qui n’est que l’autre face d’une croyance en la toute-puissance imminente de l’IA générative –, d’autres sons de cloche se font désormais entendre. On trouve certes ceux-ci du côté de voix techno-critiques attendues, tel l’auteur canadien Paris Marx, qui estime ainsi : « [Les entreprises d’IA] veulent que vous croyiez qu’elles peuvent détruire le monde, pour se remplir les poches », c’est-à-dire pour créer des reprises médiatiques et impressionner des investisseurs potentiels. Les deux chercheuses Timnit Gebru et Emily Bender, connues pour leurs critiques des stratégies de promotion des entreprises d’IA, martèlent aussi que « qualifier [les modèles d’IA] de “superintelligence” ou de “modèles rebelles” revient à attribuer une capacité d’action aux produits plutôt qu’aux entreprises qui les développent »

Alt...

Mais, souligne-t-il, « cette réflexion lui permet de cultiver le secret […] et aussi d’aller voir les gouvernements pour leur dire que l’IA étant extrêmement dangereuse, il faut absolument la réguler et rendre illégale la distribution de moteurs d’IA open source qui, aux mains de la plèbe, pourraient créer des désastres ». Brider la concurrence Nombre d’acteurs et d’actrices de ce milieu rejoignent le chercheur français pour estimer que les propositions d’OpenAI et d’Anthropic leur permettraient aussi de contrôler leur avance dans la fabrication des modèles les plus perfectionnés et de s’assurer qu’ils ne seront pas rattrapés par leurs concurrent·es, à commencer par les modèles chinois dits « open weight » (dont le code est accessible et peut être adapté librement à divers usages).

Alt...

Les entreprises d’IA générative, lancées dans une course folle au gigantisme, en levant davantage de capitaux que dans n’importe quelle phase du capitalisme, sont en effet toujours à la recherche d’un modèle économique solide. Et l’éclatement possible de la bulle est dans tous les esprits. Selon le New York Times, c’est même cette crainte qui aurait poussé Donald Trump à rejeter toute velléité de régulation. Dans ce contexte, il est plus qu’improbable que les entreprises d’IA, ou leur « parrain » et financeur Nvidia, le fabricant des puces nécessaires pour faire tourner les modèles, prennent le moindre risque de déstabiliser l’édifice financier précaire sur lesquelles elles sont juchées. Contourner les lois antitrust D’où le soupçon parfaitement résumé par Cory Doctorow, vieux briscard de l’internet libre et de la critique des grandes entreprises du numérique : OpenAI et Anthropic sont prises dans une course de vitesse à l’issue trop dangereuse et cherchent à signer un pacte de non-agression. Problème, trouver un accord en secret serait une violation manifeste des lois antitrust. Qui plus est, si elles s’accordent pour ralentir sans embarquer la Chine dans leurs tractations, les deux risqueraient de se faire rattraper puis dépasser en quelques mois par les modèles open weight. La solution consiste donc à convaincre les gouvernements du monde entier que l’IA générative devient une menace internationale et qu’il devient obligatoire de trouver une entente. « Lorsqu’un secteur qui se détruit lui-même à coups d’“hyperscaling” [la course au gigantisme dans les investissements – ndlr] exige que le gouvernement approuve un complot visant à étouffer la concurrence et à interdire les alternatives open source, il y a de quoi être méfiant », ironise l’auteur.

*** AI red lines: from prohibition to enforcement ***

On 23 September, EDPS Secretary-General, Leonardo Cervera-Navas participated in the panel “AI Red Lines – From Prohibition to Enforcement”, co-organised by the Minderoo Foundation and the Center for AI and Digital Policy at the margins of the High-Level Week of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

The discussion focused on how governments can enforce AI red lines through clear prohibitions, independent oversight, democratic accountability, and by ensuring that humans remain in control of AI systems.

“Establishing clear, robust and enforceable rules is not about stifling innovation. It is about ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of fairness, transparency, safety or public trust,” said the Secretary-General.

He also highlighted that the AI Act draws a firm, non-negotiable line between technological innovation and fundamental rights:
“Today, as a supervisory authority, our mandate is clear: prohibited AI practices are a red line, and enforcing that line is a priority, as they represent unacceptable risks.”

Enforcement begins with legal certainty. But supervision cannot operate in isolation: public oversight and reporting are also key.

Anthropic and OpenAI ought to be held responsible for the FELONIES that they committed in hacking other companies’ computers. By citing those cases and hyping up potential “superintelligence” instead, Bernie not only legitimizes the self-serving narrative that these models are TOO POWERFUL TO CONTROL, and minimizes the responsibility of AI operators around how they deploy the products.

Charge Anthropic and OpenAI for computer hacking felonies. Force them to plead out. Send the message that waving around “AI” doesn’t let them off the hook. And stop tilting at ghosts.

Three of the four most elite military training courses are represented by the three shoulder tabs present on this U.S. Army uniform. They are Special Forces, Ranger, and Airborne. The missing shoulder tab is 'Sapper', representing the Combat Engineering course. Despite his career serving in the National Guard, where he was known as Colonel Vodka, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth never applied for, nor was offered admittance to, and therefore never graduated from any of these elite soldiering courses, entitling him to wear the appropriate shoulder tab. Hence his nickname within the Pentagon of 'No Tab Pete.'

This includes Shopify cofounder and CEO Tobias Lütke.

He’s now saying Shopify employees are producing unexamined emails and code with AI and not taking responsibility for the sloppy output.””

The image attached to this post shows part of the leaked text. It reads: "Article 88 bis: Processing in the context of the development and operation of AI: (1) The processing of personal data in the context of the development and operation of an AI system or of an AI model may be carried out for a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party in accordance with Article6(1)(f) of this Regulation. (2) Pseudonymised data shall not be considered personal data for a person if that person is unable to identify the natural person to whom the data relates, unless paragraph 5 applies."

2/3 ⚠️ #AI gets special treatment. The Council text would explicitly open the door to using 'legitimate interest' for AI development and operation, making it easier to justify the reuse of huge amounts of personal data.

⚠️ The same data could end up protected in one part of the chain and outside the #GDPR in another. Same person, same information, different level of rights protection depending on who is holding it.

That is a recipe for confusion, loopholes and years of legal fights.

Alt...

, et en plus de la stratégie Ender qu’elle installe dans notre rapport à la technologie, il est une dimension assez peu souvent évoquée : la capacité structurelle de l’IA à défaire et à effondrer des collectifs. Une dimension qui s’ajoute à une autre de ses modalités fondamentales qui est celle d’un principe d’épuisement : épuisement du langage, des signes, des images, du sens. On ne parle plus ici de capacité de calcul, mais de disponibilité de calcul. Et avec cette disponibilité vient le biais et l’heuristique du même nom. Tout ce qui peut être calculé le sera, la bibliothèque de Babel imaginée par Borges existe de fait non plus comme imaginaire mais comme potentialité activable. Cette potentialité (qui est celle des IA génératives) n’est pas une nouvelle capacitation – hors quelques contextes très précis – mais un effondrement de notre détermination : notre puissance (de calcul d’abord mais aussi et surtout de création et d’imagination) se confronte à des artefacts qui n’ont pas simplement vocation à la démultiplier ou à la dépasser mais, ce faisant, à nous renvoyer l’impression d’une dépossession en nous plaçant dans une boucle de rétroaction insincère dans laquelle nous finissons collectivement par apprendre bien plus à ces artefacts qu’ils ne sont en capacité de nous le rendre individuellement.

Alt...

Les travaux critiques autour de l’IA mettent le plus souvent en discussion à la fois les enjeux environnementaux de ces technologies et de leurs infrastructures, et les enjeux d’expertise métier (risque de désapprendre ou de perdre de compétences ou qualifications). Bien plus que les impacts de l’IA sur les individus y compris lorsqu’ils sont abordés sous l’angle d’une entité globalisante (« les étudiants », « les professeurs », « les médecins », « les avocats », etc.), un point nodal peu exploré me semble être celui de la manière dont les IA remplacent l’ensemble des formes documentées de coordination sociale, c’est à dire aussi bien ce qui relève de logiques délibératives ou décisionnelles mais aussi l’ensemble des instances d’apprentissage mutuel quels qu’en soient les modalités (conflit, solidarité, etc.).

Alt...

Ces coordinations tournent en « tâche de fond » alors qu’elles sont et devraient continuer d’être … le fond de la tâche. Les travaux d’Antoinette Rouvroy (entre autres) l’ont bien montré, la gouvernementalité algorithmique tend à remplacer les publics politiques par des agrégats calculés, par des clusters comportementaux (d’autres travaux parlent de « publics fantômes »). Clusters sur lesquels, et c’est cette fois Eva Illouz qui le documente et le démontre dans « Le futur des émotions« , « la question est moins celle de l’intelligence artificielle que de la relation artificielle » et de l’ensemble du spectre émotionnel qui n’est plus qu’une ingénierie des affects, un Fordisme des sentiments.

Alt...

Bien sûr tout cela n’est pas entièrement nouveau et a été en quelque sorte « préparé » par de précédentes désintermédiations liées au déploiement de plateformes et d’infrastructures qui déjà opéraient un glissement majeur dans l’initiative des coordinations et dans la responsabilité des négociations, affichant ces plateformes en dirigeants et leurs algorithmes en autant de contremaitres (« Uberisation » notamment). Et c’est notamment pour tout cela que la question de l’effacement ou du remplacement du lien social est, comme Hannah Arendt l’a montré, la première condition d’un déploiement de régimes fascistes que l’on éprouve déjà et qui sont à l’oeuvre dans la systématisation – par exemple – de contrôle et de surveillance des individus autant que des populations. Un exemple tout particulièrement intéressant est celui de l’encyclopédie collaborative Wikipédia qui jusqu’ici parvenait essentiellement à se coordonner par des échanges et des interactions collectives qui, si elles étaient toujours traversées de tensions, s’organisaient toujours autour de la reconnaissance d’une identité commune qui demeurait celle de « la » communauté. Le grignotage et les attaques des contenus de Wikipédia par l’entrisme de contenus et de « bots » autant générés qu’instrumentalisés par l’IA met fortement en tension et en difficulté la capacité de maintenir cet horizon commun au-dessus de logiques plus singulières qui, si elles se figent et s’installent, peuvent à moyen terme faire chanceler l’ensemble du projet. De la même manière, il sera intéressant de regarder la manière dont le monde du logiciel libre et son fonctionnement communautaire peuvent être impactés par les technologies d’IA autour (notamment) des pratiques de Vibe Coding.

In a neat rhetorical flourish, Audrey Tang (Civic AI) argues data is not the 'new oil' but rather is the 'new soil', and like soil, data needs to be husbanded, nurtured & cared for, not mined & exploited.

It would be a good metaphor, if the impact of industrial farming had not been to do exactly the opposite, with soil being degraded & only maintaining its worth to farming through the ever increasingly use of chemical aids.

Or perhaps that *is* the point

Des ingénieurs d'OpenAI ont programmé un logiciel pour qu'il résolve une tâche qu'ils savaient impossible, en l'autorisant à commettre une cyberattaque, en le paramétrant d'une manière à ce qu'il n'abandonne jamais, en désactivant au préalable certains protocoles de sécurité, et en laissant sciemment une porte ouverte vers l'extérieur. En d'autres termes, le système a fait exactement ce qu'on lui demandait de faire.

If people _use_ AI to do something harmful, then that's not AI destroying humanity, that's people destroying humanity using AI. And I gotta tell you, while I certainly agree that AI may speed that up a bit, frankly we seem to be doing a perfectly adequate job of destroying humanity without any help from AI.
#AI

I mean, if you've got technology which can act faster than the people monitoring it and can act unpredictably, maybe don't give it access to anything that could be dangerous in real life?
But nooooooo, we _have to_ give them access, it's _inevitable._
#AI

Remember that scene in the Terminator movies where they get to the general who's in charge of Skynet, and they tell him what's going to happen when it goes live, and he says it's too late, they have no choice but to give the computers control over the nuclear weapons, it's just completely unavoidable, nothing can be done.
Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Sundar Pichai are the general. If AI _does_ ever "destroy humanity," it'll be because they gave it the nukes.

Dear news reporters:

I do not care how many movies you watched in the 1980s and 1990s. The Terminator, let alone SKYNET, does not exist. We have not gotten to the point in which Durandal and Leela will fight to take over a space station. JOSHUA is not going to stop projecting nuclear winter and instead opt to play a game of chess. Number Five is not, despite how cute he may be, alive.

Computers are still computers are still computers and will only do what a human being programs them to do, and people are stupid. Stop assigning them agency. Say that "Microsoft created an automatic hacking program which was inadequately contained." Assign the blame CORRECTLY, because you cannot blame a computer, it's doing exactly what it's programmed to do.

OpenAI is a dead slab of metal and electrons arranged to mimic a human face and if you refuse to see that then you're as brain-dead as any chunk of silicon.

Financial Times: How should investors position for the robot apocalypse? The end of human existence might be bad for financial markets

Good afternoon. 🌻

A small reminder from the stubborn little human still sitting here translating things:

Translation is not a word-swapping exercise.

It is not:

> word → machine → other word → congratulations, you have a translation

Languages are weird little ecosystems. Meaning lives in context, tone, register, culture, implication, rhythm, ambiguity, and all the things that happen between the words.

A human translator notices that.

A human translator can look at a sentence and say:

“Technically, yes.
But nobody would actually say it like that.”

And then fix it.

We know when “interesting” means interesting, when it means *hmm*, and when it means *this is absolute fucking nonsense but I am being polite about it.

We know that a joke can die horribly in translation.
We know that politeness has different temperatures.
We know when a sentence needs to breathe.
We know that sometimes the correct translation is not the most literal one, but the one that makes a human reader understand exactly what the original human meant.

AI can generate language.

That is not the same thing as understanding it.

And when the words matter, “probably plausible” is a spectacularly bad quality standard.

So yes, I am still here.
Still translating.
Still obsessing over commas.
Still arguing with dictionaries.
Still refusing to replace a living profession with autocomplete wearing a tiny necktie.

If you want to help keep one fully human, AI-free translation business alive:

☕ [https://ko-fi.com/thepurpleoctopus/goal?g=14](https://ko-fi.com/thepurpleoctopus/goal?g=14)

Because words matter.

And somebody should care where they land. 💜

Sigh, I just read the 1990s Resonant Compuitng Manifesto thanks to @davidgerard’s blog post here https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/12/17/the-resonant-computing-manifesto-same-ai-slop-same-ai-guys/

And I’m unreasonably angry. Because the Resonant Computing Manifesto ostensibly bases itself on the work of Christopher Alexander, likely “The Timeless Way Of Building” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Timeless_Way_of_Building

Reading “The Timeless Way Of Building” was almost a religious experience to me. The book felt circular: you don’t really know what the hell the author is talking about until you read the whole book, then everything clicks all at once. Read it again, and you realize he’s describing a singular observation: how design interacts with its users and environments. It’s about architecture, but it’s really about product design and how a maker approaches problems.

Anyway, using this book to hawk #AI libertarianism is an unforgivable insult.

Maybe AI is going to kill is all… via a meat proxy. Basically, having an LLM anywhere near decisions that might lead to military strikes is plain stupidity coupled with a stunning absence of ethics.

In the 80s, Stanislav Petrov went against protocol and prevented a nuclear launch that no doubt would’ve ended with millions of people dead.

Today? We’re in real danger of the same scenario going the other way because people are placing unfounded and dangerous amounts of trust in systems that are unproven, inaccurate, and designed to lie convincingly while trying to ingratiate themselves with their users in order to encourage more usage.

From the story: According to the report, "The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said. It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI)."

We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing.

#MicroSlop #AIBubble

Omg y’all, I have finally put enough red string on the board to figure it out. The tsunami of “ai will kill is all” is all coming from the #EffectiveAltruist (EA) network.

So, all of the swarm failures in ai testing has come from one lab: #Irregular, a Tel Aviv-based frontier #AI security lab founded in 2023 by Dan Lahav (CEO) and Omer Nevo (CTO).

Irregular's founders are deeply embedded in the (EA) network, through organizations funded by Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook co-founder). ( cites to follow)

(EA)’s money is all over the messaging that we should pause or slow down all ai development across all arenas. Which makes me think that they are leveraging real opposition to get something they want.

What do they want? Someone else to hold this bag they’ve filled up with debt. How do they do that? Make AI a national security threat and nationalize it.

Clever boys. Very clever.

@mttaggart It's also the most persistent and longest lasting #DDoS attack in history. Some of these #AI #scrapers are hiring mercenaries (like #RapidSeedbox), and using proxyjacking botnets and foreign SIM farms.

I'm sorry, but this stinks. It's exactly the same bullshit arguments that record labels, book publishers, and movie studios tried to sold the public when the people started massively sharing digital files of copyrighted works between them. The people who made these statements don't know absolutely anything about digital economics and intellectual property law. AI and LLMs democratize the ability of the public to create transformative works based on their prompts. If the output is entirely identical to the original, then there may be a problem. In any case, this is bullshit and only demented people who don't know a think about how economics works for digital goods can say these things. I'm sick and tired of all this rage-baiting bullshit. Why can't people use technologies with a critical lens? To conclude: Anyone who venerates human labour is absolutely clueless. What we should value is FREE TIME and critical thinking.

"The statements, taken together, are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they worked, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. It is a reminder that even as AI becomes more powerful and companies try to shift the narrative to the supposed existential risk of “superintelligent” AI, the tools they have already built were created by stealing from human creativity and labor and are by definition existential threats to the human labor market.

“Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” an internal Microsoft document cited in the case read, adding “almost no one intended for content they created to be used in this fashion, nor are they compensated for its use.”"

Umm, I'm always afraid of falling into anti-AI/neoluddite rage-baiting zealotry. In this case, I think we should really have some more direct comparisons with other industries and even with other times, in the dotcom era, when kilometers of fiber were deployed around the western countries. This conversation should be really WAY more nuanced.

"The ongoing campaign to build thousands of massive datacenters for AI will create a “tsunami” of discarded electronics, putting the world on a course to triple its annual generation of toxic e-waste in the next 25 years, a new report projects.

The electronic trash AI generates in the next 25 years could fill enough shipping containers to encircle the globe six times, it said. Yet, says the report by the non-profit environmental group Basel Action Network (BAN), there is no plan to deal with that waste – which typically contains toxins like lead, mercury, cadmium and forever chemicals, as well as valuable metals that are challenging to reclaim.

“Already electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream on the planet and only one-fifth is properly managed,” said Jim Puckett, co-founder of BAN, which works to see that toxic waste doesn’t end up getting dumped on the world’s poorer communities."

The other reason I want us using Microsoft AI tools at work rather than OpenAI's or Anthropic's, if I can't stop the AI use entirely, is because as we've seen with the recent Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize kerfuffle, OpenAI and Anthropic will definitely use any data you give them to train their future models, whereas MS, which isn't actually in the business of training its own models (it licenses already-trained models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others), won't.
#Microsoft #OpenAI #Anthropic #AI

Stuff like this is one reason why I'm pushing at work that if we're going to use AI tools, they should be tools provided by Microsoft, not tools provided directly by OpenAI or Anthropic.
Given that MS has other business besides AI, they have an incentive to put reasonable guardrails in place on their AI products, so blowback from their AI products doesn't endanger their other revenue streams.
OpenAI and Anthropic have no such incentive.

But VdL does say something smart here: "we do not need to develop the frontier models to benefit from them". Highlights the need for #IndustrialAI #AI, as "this is where the real value is hidden". She highlights that this is where the EU has the advantage, in particular when it comes to data.

⬇️ #SOTEU

VdL says "Europe needs to stay in the race" on #AI as it is "crucial for our independence" and we need to "massively boost our computing capacity in a clean and efficient way". Says we will develop new ways to use "public and private funds to invest".

very vague about what has already been done.

"The second tipping point is #AI, it is foundational for our security". VdL sasy "we want to make the most of AI to improve our lives, it has the potential to benefit humanity if we get it right".

Highlights possibilities and massive risks. "As the frontier models become more capable, the risks have come into focus. Models will allow hacking on a level we never thought possible, and will soon be in the hands of adversaries"

Talking to different mathematicians working with #ChatGPT in the last months, we noticed two things that were true for all of us:

1. it’s basically impossible to run out of tokens. Every time we approached the limits we got free/automatic usage resets and could keep going.

2. We all got access to GPT-6 astra on the first day, when influencers and podcasters still reported of some staggered release and that they did not have it.

Given everything that happened last week, the picture looks very much like #OpenAI knowing exactly who is a mathematician and making sure they use their system as much as possible.

@jwildeboer The thing about #AI is that the barriers to entry are low. Non-state actors (including commercial enterprise) control the technology, not governments. There will always be countries willing to host data centers and AI companies. All the previous non-proliferation treaties of the past are poor models. Treaties are between countries, not multinational companies and billionaires. I know this from consulting directly with UNIDIR, the R&D org at the #UN that supports arms control treaties by UN members. They’ve been working on it for over 10 years without much progress.

Anyway, I’m not worried about AI apocalypse. 1. For technical reasons. 2. It’s hypothetical, not a real, proven problem. ***AI Apocalypse is a ruse to distract people from other topics more important to the AI Tech Bros — like #Trump, #climate, #war.

The AI agent gold rush (setting up an AI agent tasked with making money online) is here and the only people making money off of it are, once again, the shovel sellers. Except the buy-in is extremely low, the hope for returns minimal and hopefully quickly exhausted, so goodness forbids it should be brief.

screenshot of a post by @merelpetri: 3 men being too scarfed to admit they're about to be broke is way more believable to me than the idea that robots are about to take us all out in six years

Should there be an AI slowdown?
