I couldn't sleep last night because I watched a video of a distraught doctor who had to amputate a limb of his own child without anesthesia, and the child later died.
But sure, let's publish an article about a "schism" in AI.

For the first time, Signal has released a breakdown of its costs, which will reach $50 million a year by 2025. Its president @mer__edith says this isn’t just an appeal for donations. It’s a way to highlight the surveillance profit model they’re up against. wired.com/story/signal-opera…

What EU regulators don’t understand is that a digital identity is both a trojan for government surveillance & weakens governments vis a vis big tech companies in provisioning of identities: cause guess who’s got digital wallets and lack trusted ids! @vestager should know better.

When we talk about not relying on machine translation by Big Tech, this is what we mean. When machine translations from Arabic, a language spoken by hundreds of millions of people, still produces dross like this, the necessity of community-oriented tech is made very plainly.

Lawyers and legal scholars. FFS. Collaborate with philosophers/ethicists if you actually try to dip your toes in philosophical or ethical waters. (A) Don't invent the wheel yourself, but (B) also don't ignore everything that has already been written.

Claims such as “AGI is imminent” or “given current rate of progress AGI is inevitable” are pseudoscientific claims.
Do we need a open letter?
Just read our paper that explains why, and presents a formal proof that, such claims are false and misleading.

How will #AI impact our immediate and near future? Can the technology be controlled? Does it have agency? Interesting to discuss these questions with @mustafasuleyman and @zannymb, hosted by the @TheEconomist.

Surreal seeing all this “extinction” talk. Imagine the tenets of Scientology steering multilateral orgs and governments. That’s what’s happening in AI.

Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority.
And Europe should lead the way, building a new global AI framework built on three pillars: guardrails, governance and guiding innovation ↓

Apple's statement is the death knell for the idea that it's possible to scan everyone's comms AND preserve privacy.
Apple has many of the best cryptographers software eng on earth infinite $.
If they can't, no one can. (They can't. No one can.)

one of the most profound and dangerous implications that mass deployment of FRT has brought is the popularisation of surveillance as the norm and anything else as the suspicious exception

Patients ranking high on the vulnerability index become candidates for palliative care, the texts show. In one, a palliative care team member at an HCA hospital identified such a patient; “Algorithm = 97% risk of mortality today,” it said.

Doctors and nurses say HCA officials press staff to persuade families of ailing patients to initiate such care. Although this can harm patients by withdrawing lifesaving treatments, the push can benefit HCA two ways.

It reduces the hospital mortality rates, and can free up a hospital bed more quickly for HCA, potentially generating more insurance reimbursements from a new patient.

Again! Shouldn’t we just dissolve the entire tax law department at UvA (and at other uni’s as well)?

At least abolish all financed chairs and other positions. They do more harm than good (is there any?) - only to have the commercial freedom to act in academic spaces.
