This seems connected to the push to privatise management of health data as an opportunity for corporate profit;

"Everyone can spread the word that companies and government agencies carelessly allowing cybercriminals and hostile states to get access to private personal data is outrageous and unacceptable. Make a point of this on social media. Demand legislation for financial and legal accountability."

In my Sept, 2024 blog piece on #MOLE Training I quoted David Chapman, a PhD in AI research. He sums up this unjustified optimism nicely in his book #BetterWithoutAI;

"Most AI researchers think AI will have overall positive effects. However, this seems to be based only on a vague faith in the value of technological progress in general. It doesn’t involve worked-out ideas about desirable futures in which AI systems are enormously more powerful than current ones."

#TIL that Matt Arnold is recording audio versions of a number of books on his Fluidity blog. Most recently Better Without AI, David Chapman's non-fiction primer on LLMs, which starts here;

Prior to this, he was reading from Chapman's other work, including the unfinished hypertext books Meaningness and Time, and In The Cells Of The Eggplant.

Trying to regulate AI can be like regulating math in that suddenly certain calculations are illegal.

Trying to regulate AI can be like regulating the printing press in that suddenly only people with enough lawyers are able to make a printing press.

Trying to regulate AI can be like trying to regulate free speech. From now on only certain forms of speech are allowed (a bit like the book 1984).

Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Nvidia and others are investing billions (trillions?). Big Tech and Governments want to continue with data mining, government surveillance and surveillance capitalism. This will go as long as long as we let them. The incentives are there. To change that we need social awareness, a consciousness shift or a libre ethical digital revolution.

If you truly want to stop AI then think about how to organize:

Otherwise focusing on research, libre AI, libre riscv, libre silicon and research (ethics,safety,mechanistic interpretability) is currently our best hope.

Related efforts that I know of.

The ability to run bloom on your own hardware: https://github.com/NouamaneTazi/bloomz.cpp https://github.com/NouamaneTazi/bloomz.cpp/issues/4

Vipergpt. Not sure whether it will be libre. (Hopefully) https://viper.cs.columbia.edu/

Better Without AI which advocates for mechanistic interpretability https://betterwithout.ai

There is also a recommended reading list for stochastic parrots but I am not linking it here since I do not want to promote google docs.

Also does anyone know of any efforts to provide libre riscv AI accelerator that can be run on FPGA?
