Another aspect of data harvesting and weights in building tools such as stochastical parrots/#GPT : most moderate people are afraid to talk publicly. Most of the time, anything that displease anonymous -bullies- online, which are legions, is mercilessly attacked. Meaning that anyone with a moderate attitude will not be representative or have any weight in comparison to people practicing hate speech on a daily basis.
What does the #EU gov do about this? Things seem to get worse.

On 23/06/16, I was at work, in the UK. Then, comments in Taxis and elsewhere started to happen to me, I do look like "a jew", but I already knew that, it was not new to me. What did I think? Again, so soon? #EU is not perfect, and I think I would have voted No in 1992, but it definitely helped with keeping peace until then. EU has been mismanaged economically; 9 years later, I see it more clearly: #sovereignity

Here’s what World War II veterans say about #Brexit

Hello GPT builders.

When web scrapers collect data, do they take into account whether the content is coming from an -anonymous- account or not? Does it has the same weight statistically as content created by a real account?
If so, how do you determine whether an account is real or not?

NB: hate speech, per observation, rarely comes from real accounts, given it is illegal in Europe.

I wonder what people like @timnitGebru think of Diaspora Social network in general, and it, being seemingly attacked by swarms of scraping bots (as per @arstechnica), probably for AI use.
Will this content (see prev scrnshot in prev toot) be used to make a fairer society for everyone, given that hate speech online is often oriented towards specific communities such as LGBTQ or black communities for instance online? #ethics #AIethics #socialmedia #scraping #HateSpeech #tescreal

It is really worrying what is happening in France, I am French. Is it Freedom of Speech? #society

@arstechnica What do you think of Diaspora Social Network ?

Nicolas MOUART-DAVID 2h ago

And again, little to no support, silence. So I think, it is time to stop obviously, but I am not going to delete anything this time.
This is visible on google.
Enough : Diaspora is not safe for anyone.

Like support, cybersecurity is a cost, not a profit for companies. It is not new, extremely well-known #cuttingcorners #cybersecurity

Je n'ai jamais été au Louvre, pas le temps, il y avait trop de monde. Mais je pensais aux bases de données, ça ressemble à ça quand les serveurs sont mal protégés, et dedans des données personnelles ultra sensibles de clients. Alors si quelqu'un réussi à regarder dedans, c'est le festival de la "data breach".

NB: l'encryption ne protège pas du social engineering....

I mean people talk about encryption at mo with EU and the police, but is it not more serious, that private companies keep losing personal information like that? #privacy #encryption
