Technē without safety guardrails?

* "The public showdown between the Department of Defense and Anthropic began earlier this week after they entered into discussions about the military’s use of the company’s Claude AI system. But the talks broke down as both sides appeared to be unable to come to agreement over safety guardrails."

"US defense officials have pushed for unfettered access to Claude’s capabilities that they say can help protect the country, while Anthropic has resisted allowing its product to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input." >>

Just spent about an hour scrolling Mastodon. (Crazy Saturday night shenanigans). 😴

Clicked on a few things. Read an article. All good. 🤓

And I'm not angry at anything. ☺

Why aren't more media outlets here, I wonder? 🤔

We discuss transparency, attention capture, and how to stay aware of hidden influence.

Many fights for #AlgorithmicTransparency focused on accessing code, but there’s more: Who builds these systems? Who are the providers? Are they independently evaluated? That’s why #AlgorithmRegisters are a key demand for accountability. So far, only France, Finland, the UK, Norway and Germany have official ones.

Ah, algorithmic transparency, what I told the European Parliament was the next step they should take after GDPR. Better six years late than never. Hey, maybe in another decade they’ll even consider implementing a General Data Minimisation Regulation (GDMR).
