Sono curioso di sapere cosa ne pensa la mia bolla di #fediverso italofono su questo.

A good piece on how GenAI is flooding the field. I too have worked with ML for a while and feel similarly.

"Having done my PhD on AI language generation (long considered niche), I was thrilled we had come this far. But the awe I felt was rivaled by my growing rage at the flood of media takes and self-appointed experts insisting that generative AI could do things it simply can’t, and warning that anyone who didn’t adopt it would be left behind."

The bill also seeks β€œAction to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” and wants β€œall regulated user-to-user services to use highly-effective age assurance measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users.” In practice, this means identity checks for VPN users, making things like anonymous whistleblowing difficult.

Once again, they use β€œwhat about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices.

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the β€œChildren’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: β€œAny relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

...we are only at the beginning of the "new course", which for my company is bringing all the IT support technicians together in a single location in India, removing them from the local realities of the sites around the world, with the ill-fated intent to agentify every recess of the infrastructure and then, slowly raising their hands from the controls, shouting with all their breath.. .

Look Mom! Hands-off!!!
We all know how this story ends: with their bike broken and without a few teeth.
