(1/2) Høringsfristen for Digital Networks Act er utvidet - nok en gang. Sikkert fordi de ikke har fått noen innspill.

Jeg er en sånn som liker å komme med innspill, men denne her - den er for tung. Jeg klarer ikke skille ut relevant informasjon, og sitter igjen med en "jamen dette ser vel helt greit ut?" uten å egentlig forstå mye.

men hvis du er smartere enn meg, og har noe på hjertet om hvordan EU skal forholde seg til den digitale sfæren...:

The scale of investment and the involvement of governments means ROI must be found (or rather created) now, by any means necessary! Demand already is being forcefully created to justify these expenditures. Business models, regulations and policies/politics are pivoted in lockstep. Aside from all the conceptual, ethical and environmental issues of LLMs and their required infrastructure, these shifts are already also impacting chip/hardware production pipelines and start spelling the end of personal computing as we know it, massively redirecting and re-centralizing compute (and information) resources & capabilities back away from citizen control/ownership, incl. the liberties/possibilities currently afforded by it. The implications are also a direct affront to the open Web... All in all, a wet dream of any closet authoritarian...

Silicon Valley is done with regulators and critics. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen are lining up behind Donald Trump and his Thiel-funded running mate J.D. Vance. They want to ensure tech is integral to making American great again. https://disconnect.blog/silicon-valleys-dangerous-plan-for-a-second-trump-term-2/ #tech #elonmusk #trump #politics #maga

"To understand America’s end-of-empire waning dominance in the world, its broken legislature and its capture by corporate interests, the symbolism of a senator forcing Zuckerberg to apologise to bereaved parents while Congress – that big white building stormed by insurrectionists who found each other on social media platforms – does absolutely nothing to curb his company’s singular power is as good as any place to start." - Carole Cadwalladr

When dead children are just the price of doing business, Zuckerberg’s apology is empty

The Facebook boss faced the parents of victims in Senate hearings, but until legislators finally stand up to social media giants, nothing will change

"I took my first public policy class during my master's degree at MIT focused on technology policy. I loved learning about the history of court cases and regulation, and how the legal history impacts industry standards today."

Fascinating! Researchers made LLMs do the political compass test. #GPT4 was the most left libertarian, while Meta's #Llama was the most right authoritarian.
