Really enjoyed Briahna Joy Gray's perspective, humility and precision in discussing this language issue that arose from a recent interview she did. What a beautiful mind. https://youtu.be/7CAi8w0nd44

Arvind NarayananAnthropomorphizing AI is dangerous: it causes emotional harms and it can derail policy debates. AI developers and journalists need to stop enabling this tendency, and we need research on how people interact with chatbots to create better guardrails. We also come up with a more nuanced message than ādonāt anthropomorphize AIā. Perhaps the term anthropomorphize is so broad and vague that it has lost its usefulness when it comes to generative AI. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/people-keep-anthropomorphizing-ai By @sayashk and me.
With so much anthropomorphizing of the chatbots, the use terms that convey ambiguous metaphors (eg. artificial āintelligenceā and machine ālearningā), itās nice to see a sober & informative post fm Stephen Wolfram that helps put the technology in the proper context of what itās *actually* doing vs. what is being perceived. Too many are projecting, and have assigned sentience to chatbots that is not there: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/
Matthew SheffieldBesides making lots of errors, the AI text generator behind scads of articles published by @Cnet and @Bankrate also appears to have plagiarized writing from other sites https://futurism.com/cnet-ai-plagiarism
To those who said social media companies were censoring content, & were repudiated by claims that platforms had First Amendment rights to remove unwanted postsā¦u were right & are owed an apology. With facts in fm Twitter & FB, this is now undeniable: https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/new-emails-biden-white-house-behind
Yeah, trust, that's what people have in gov'ts and businesses these days š https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/davos-2023-countries-should-be-able-to-trust-others-when-it-comes-to-transferring-citizens-data-oecd-9879421.html
Davos 2023: Countries should be able to trust others when it comes to transferring citizens' data, says OECD
At Davos 2023, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's secretary general Mathias Cormann cross border flow of data is going to be very important to optimise the digital economy of the future
@Popehat, quick question. While arguable, assuming that the gov't has been found to have influenced Twitter & FB to remove legal content from their platforms, can a claim of censorship be sustained even vs. the sites' 1FA rights?
Hmm...Tanzania moving down a questionable path as it relates to national digital IDs given lack of robust data protection regs: https://advox.globalvoices.org/2023/01/06/new-stringent-legislation-threatens-data-privacy-and-surveillance-protection-in-tanzania/ World Bank support here not too surprising.
On This Day In HistoryToday in 1983, 40 years ago: The ARPANET officially changes to using TCP/IP, the Internet Protocol, effectively creating the Internet.
Widdershins Smith šš„Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.
Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.
