"“OpenAI repeatedly argued to European officials that the forthcoming AI Act should not consider its general purpose AI systems…to be “high risk,” a designation that would subject them to stringent legal requirements including transparency, traceability, and human oversight."

Oohh noooz our stuff is so strong it might render humanity extinct.

But also no no our stuff shouldn’t be classified “high risk.”

Hello Fosstodon,

Greetings from #Vienna, #Austria.

I'm a #DataScientist working on #SpatialDataScience at the #AIT. I serve on the #QGIS and #MobilityDB PSCs and am the lead developer of @movingpandas, a #Python library for #MovementDataAnalysis.

“Seattle city school district filed a novel lawsuit blaming #BigTech for poisoning youth with social media addiction, saying schools can’t fulfill their educational mission while students are suffering from anxiety, depression and other psychological troubles.

#Alphabet Inc., #Meta Platforms Inc., #Snap Inc. and #ByteDance Ltd., owner of #TikTok, are responsible for hooking young people on their platforms and creating a mental health crisis, according to the complaint”

Algorithms aren't the enemy. Chronological feeds don't scale and the signal-to-noise ratio will plummet if this ever gets popular. The real problems with today's algorithmic feeds are non-transparency, lack of choice, and optimizing for engagement instead of healthy discourse.

Open-source is a perfect opportunity to fix all this. Have there been any efforts to create a Mastodon instance with a (community governed) ranking algorithm? Is that technically feasible? Or is the idea simply anathema?

Ich bin zwar nicht ganz #neuhier aber irgendwie dann doch.

Ich bin Chefredakteur beim @moment_magazin, hab einen Master in Politikwissenschaften und bin von Natur aus Blogger und Podcaster. Bei mir gibts also allerlei politische Themen, Journalismus und Medien - manchmal auch in blöden Witzen.

Und ich werd sicher immer wieder mal was über Fußball, Sport, Pizza, Tech und Games schreiben.

Guter Tipp: #Mastodon-Handle in die Twitter-Bio schreiben! 👍 https://t.co/FzB0dTUig3
