🤖 AI | 🇮🇹 ITALY
🔴 OpenAI May Adjust Safety Rules + Italian AI Newspaper

🔸 OpenAI could shift safety standards if rivals deploy riskier AIs.
🔸 Il Foglio used its own chatbot to write a full newspaper for a month.
🔸 Editor: AI can’t replace reporting, sourcing, or intuition—but is a valuable tool.
🔸 “AI can’t smell the air, but it’s learning to watch you breathe.”

Hightech-Dystopie an der Grenze

Grenzen sind zum Testlabor für die Hightech-Industrie geworden, Verletzungen der Menschenrechte an der Tagesordnung, wie das Buch The Walls Have Eyes zeigt.

Wasser und Nahrung nur gegen Iris-Scan und Fingerabdruck, intelligente Mauern und Schallkanonen, Roboterhunde und Drohnen, die Menschen durch die Wüste jagen – was wie die Dystopie aus einem Science-Fiction-Film klingt, ist für Flüchtende tägliche Realität.

Weitgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit sind Grenzregionen zu rechtsfreien Räumen geworden, die von Regierungen und Hightech-Unternehmen für Experimente genutzt werden.….

How much real science have I done in the last 7 years? A fraction of what I wanted to do. My field was engulfed by #AI hype. Literally. You can read the reports highlighting how industrial involvement in our scientific community drastically increased after 2018. I got out of academia because of it. But then I couldn't get away from the fact that the general discourse had also been hijacked and that some reaction was needed. /6

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the outreach. I even think that looking inside a machine helps people understand better why they are people and not machines. Language is one of these things that are never taught in school (kids know more about the Big Bang than they do about the faculty that helps them think, believe and communicate). So perhaps showing how #AI fails to do language is the best way to describe what language actually is. But it is only a small part of my job description. /4

Fast-forward seven years. Billions of dollars have been spent on the Transformer and co. The EU has just announced a 200 billion € initiative to promote #AI, following other governments across the globe. Millions of people, crushed by the demands of 'efficiency', now think that a machine writes email better and faster than they do. And wow, the new tech can even fire people (in all senses of the term.) Still wanna grab a coffee? /2

"We articulate a vision of artificial intelligence (AI) as normal technology. To view AI as normal is not to understate its impact—even transformative, general-purpose technologies such as electricity and the internet are “normal” in our conception. But it is in contrast to both utopian and dystopian visions of the future of AI which have a common tendency to treat it akin to a separate species, a highly autonomous, potentially superintelligent entity.

The statement “AI is normal technology” is three things: a description of current AI, a prediction about the foreseeable future of AI, and a prescription about how we should treat it. We view AI as a tool that we can and should remain in control of, and we argue that this goal does not require drastic policy interventions or technical breakthroughs. We do not think that viewing AI as a humanlike intelligence is currently accurate or useful for understanding its societal impacts, nor is it likely to be in our vision of the future.

The normal technology frame is about the relationship between technology and society. It rejects technological determinism, especially the notion of AI itself as an agent in determining its future. It is guided by lessons from past technological revolutions, such as the slow and uncertain nature of technology adoption and diffusion. It also emphasizes continuity between the past and the future trajectory of AI in terms of societal impact and the role of institutions in shaping this trajectory."

I am under a DDoS attack. Not my server, not my service. Me.

And like everything these days, it has to do with #AI.

This is going to be a thread because I'm annoyed and have much to say. It should be called something like "How I wasted a good part of the last 7 years having to react to a dubious technology instead of doing my job". Or perhaps "How a science disappeared". You can decide. /0

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

This is a monstrosity, complete dehumanization of Palestinian people by Israeli armed forces (and probably by an important part of Israeli population, very sadly) (important enough to allow this, and not fight back themselves). The more they try to achieve security with these atrocious means, the farther they'll be from it

Journalists often need to speak to experts for their stories. Money traditionally doesn't change hands — the expert, whether they're a political scientist or a dermatologist, builds their media profile, while the journo gets the quotes they need. But according to the Press Gazette, there are now some agencies that charge brand PRs to make those connections, and the "experts" they are quoting may be AI, rather than real people. "Laura Purkess, consumer features editor and consumer champion for The Sun, says she receives what appears to be AI-written copy in large batches from one particular PR following Responsesource requests. The PR has no surname or agency name and frequently posts three or more ready-written comments on virtually any subject within less than an hour of the request being posted."

le message/impact de l'IA sur la science deviendra évident quand les machines superintelligentes font des découvertes scientifiques par elles-mêmes

je pense que l'impact de l'IA va ralentir puis immobiliser le progrès scientifique

je pense que nous entrons dans une période comme le moyen-âge, pas comme la renaissance

une abondance de produits et de services "parfaits" (perfectionnés par IA) accompagne le ralentissement

la confiance est la base de coopération; la crise de confiance cause un manque de coopération entre nations et individus

les alliances souffrent; les pays se défont en région; les syndicats nationaux, en guildes locales

les gens qui ignorent qui ils sont, et qui ont de la difficulté à savoir ce qui est réel, recherchent des valeurs sures

fanatisme religieux, politique, et scientifique; dictatures et oligarchies profitent du climat de méfiance

#IA #AI #intelligence #media #message #societe


la technologie développée jusqu'ici était une extension du corps et des sens physiques

l'IA est une extension du mental et des facultés (apprentissage, raisonnement, prise de décision, etc.) associées depuis toujours à la nature humaine *et* celle des individus

l'origine de la crise de confiance est une crise d'identité: si des machines apprennent, raisonnent, décident par elles-mêmes, qu'est-ce qui reste de la nature humaine et individuelle?

The #Guardian surrendered to the architects of the Heritage Foundation by inviting their #AI and sacking the #InvestigativeJournalists en mass.

AI is garbage in garbage out. It is the architects who feed AI, so it is them who dictate the output bias and thus public discourse.
Less human diversity through five or six AI systems that #FloodTheZone. Worst part of it is, that #distributor of the garbage is us — millions of user who "have fun with #ChatGPT et al."

Ask me in 150 years how it ends.

Poynter: When was the last time AI made you laugh? Scenes from the 2025 Summit on AI, Ethics and Journalism. “Newsrooms on a local and national level are experimenting with AI, using tools inside the newsroom to better report and display stories, and tools externally to better connect with audiences. But audiences, new research shows, are still skeptical about generative AI in news. This […]

"Consciousness is the only reason life has value. It’s the only reason anything matters. Otherwise life would just be physical materials getting whipped about by natural forces without anyone feeling, sensing or experiencing any part of it. Suffering wouldn’t matter because it’s not being felt or experienced. Joy wouldn’t matter because it’s not being felt or experienced. There’d be no good reason not to torture someone, because there wouldn’t be any conscious experience of pain. There’d be no good reason to love anyone, because there wouldn’t be any conscious experience of love. Consciousness is the only reason life is worth living.

There is no basis on which to believe AI will ever be conscious. Consciousness isn’t some minor detail that science will easily work out once it gets around to it; it’s an all-encompassing phenomenon which has always been a complete mystery to all scientific fields. Science has no idea what consciousness is or why it happens, much less how to replicate it. It’s the single most important and fundamental aspect of every second of our waking experience of life, yet it remains a complete unknown to all of science. And this somehow gets left out of so much of the conversation about the future of artificial “intelligence”."

Carole Cadwalladr said 100 Guardian journos were made redundant recently, at the same time as they signed a deal with Open AI. She had some choice things to say about that, along the lines of marrying your abuser. She is warning of the imminent death of information and the techno culture of authoritarian surveillance we now live in. #Education needs to heed her warning but currently are AI data zombies. Her recent TED talk is essential viewing.

I've been writing using em dashes since the 1990s. The reason AI uses em dashes is because it was trained on my writing, and that of countless other humans like me.
