Good brief of different models of intelligence, why they fail or why ”AI” does not fit into them.

Happy pride alla fina människor!
Har plockat fram systemkameran och tänkte fota lite idag. 🏳️🌈
The backlash made Google pause the feature that made it easy, but it's of course still possible, and now put in everybody's heads.
It was so hard for Google to predict the harm. Asking experts is a struggle for tech companies 🤪

@faineg.bsky.social: I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

Läste just igår om hur vissa leverantörer av attefallshus har börjat leverera drönarhangarer till hjärtstartare. Intressanta utmaningar i det svenska klimatet.
Fantastiskt i kombination med SMS-livräddare.
Jag inbillar mig att trigger-ordet kan vara "AI".

Drönarhangar till hjärtstartare - Svenska Skalhus
Blev väldigt intressant för mig nu att Everdrone (leverantören av de autonoma drönarna för hjärtstartare) inte använder marknadsföringsbegreppet "AI" någonstans i sina texter eller pressmeddelanden (som jag hittat ännu).
Oerhört förtroendeingivande.

The Africa map debacle is a glimpse of a future with "AI".
Not knowing. Not caring.
The most unbelievably wrong map I have ever seen at an international, official event. A huge insult and embarassment.
"AIDS? We don't even know where your countries are."

I've been writing and speaking for many years now on how Africa's proportions are misrepresented on most world maps. This was not a direction I expected. 🧐

Enlightening and scary talk by Bruno Giussani. ’Why Big Tech is Incompatible with Democracy’.
”Every dependence can be turned into coercion and submission.”
Giussani also has many good recommendations for the path forward and increasing resilience.

Europe’s digital difference can be Technology that does not spy on you™
I also believe more and more in the idea of hardware built with the intent to block spying. I’m really rooting for the Jolla phone.

Reading is resistance. As ”AI” companies purchase and destroy books, it’s an apt time for people to start building little free libraries. Plans and blueprints here:

I just backed @stopgenai.com’s new book project.
@fasterandworse.com: Consider supporting @stopgenai.com's Kickstarter campaign for her new book, Recovering After Gen AI, scheduled for October release. Kim has previously published cybersecurity books with O'Reilly and Wiley, but is now self-publishing her Big Tech critical books. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kim...

As it appears, he clapped for 3-4 seconds between speakers while no clock was running for speaking time. His wife was next up to speak and was standing ready at the podium as her spouse was carried out and she burst into tears. "Don't hurt him."
@axbom.com: In 80 years scholars will write essays about how people started being arrested for clapping, and how reactions to this development were timid at best.

Jag kör Apple Music men oj vad jag saknar att lätt kunna gå till en butik och bläddra bland CD-skivor. Vilket jag faktiskt gjorde för en månad sedan i Älmhult.
Nu har jag sneglat i ett år på denna mp3-spelare… med fysiska knappar(!)

Den här artikeln låg direkt efter i flödet, och det blev omöjligt att inte tänka 'fan vilken schysst hyresgäst hon har'. Bra balans i den relationen. Att hon kom fram till att hon är stolt över att hon vände är fint. Ibland är döden någon man resonerar med.
Otroligt sorglig historia det här med den anställde på Arbetsförmedlingen som tog sitt liv. Från det att han tog sitt liv tog det två månader innan de avslutade sin internutredning av honom.
Och mycket tycks handla om missförstånd(!) och en oförmåga att värna om sina anställda.
Rikspolischef Petra Lundh tjänar nu 200 700.-/månad. Först över 200k.
