AI and the Corporate Capture of Knowledge - Schneier on Security

More than a decade after Aaron Swartz’s death, the United States is still living inside the contradiction that destroyed him. Swartz believed that knowledge, especially publicly funded knowledge, should be freely accessible. Acting on that, he downloaded thousands of academic articles from the JSTOR archive with the intention of making them publicly available. For this, the federal government charged him with a felony and threatened decades in prison. After two years of prosecutorial pressure, Swartz died by suicide on Jan. 11, 2013. The still-unresolved questions raised by his case have resurfaced in today’s debates over artificial intelligence, copyright and the ultimate control of knowledge...

@flexghost I called both #OREGON senators this morning. I used the term #SouthAfricanNational when asking when/who will the DoJ US DoD Pentagon etc arrest #ElonMusk for espionage and security risks. #AaronSchwartz did much less and is now dead. #Tuesday

Personally I don't give a fuck about #tiktok. I have opinions from a free speech perspective but 90% of the rambling I see if just wildly off base or clearly pulling shock & awe tactics because their job of being influencers is looking perilously close to going poof.

I say ban em all. It's not like zuck or Elmo are good for the masses. However (unfortunately), it's clear both are buying the system rather than abiding by its laws (thanks capitalism) (eg compare #AaronSchwartz's tragic story to Zuck directly approving training models on copyrighted material. Both stole, only one was doing to to use the material to create & sell their own product...)
