Context, Consent, and Control: The Three C’s of Data Participation in the Age of AI
Context, Consent, and Control: The Three C’s of Data Participation in the Age of AI
Eryk Salvaggio says it is naive to believe tensions in AI policy development and norms of use could be resolved through a focus on copyright alone.
Poetry becomes a cluster of words to measure the weight of other words
I understand these as three C’s for data participation: Context, Consent, and Control.
many of us are fine with humans doing whatever they want with the things we share, but feel uncomfortable with the thought of a large corporation taking this material for inhuman processing at scale
It tells us that what is personal to us is meaningless, just another number in a system, and that we have no say in how our information may be used simply because of the vast sums of information that have been taken from so many people.

Silicon Valley Is Turning Into Its Own Worst Fear
Silicon Valley Is Turning Into Its Own Worst Fear
An older one but Ted Chiang nails it. Corporations are the problem more than AI.
Then I realized that we are already surrounded by machines that demonstrate a complete lack of insight, we just call them corporations.
we did nothing to ensure that Facebook’s and Amazon’s goals were aligned with the public good
they envision the world ending is through a form of unchecked capitalism, disguised as a superintelligent AI
We need them to behave better than the AIs they fear and demonstrate a capacity for insight.

How to Raise Your Artificial Intelligence: A Conversation with Alison Gopnik and Melanie Mitchell | Los Angeles Review of Books
This is a very good and nuanced take on why intelligence is complex and why are conversations around "AI" are broken.
A much better way of thinking about them is as a technology that allows humans to access information from many other humans and use that information to make decisions.
We talk about how they “hallucinate,” but hallucination isn’t really the right word. To hallucinate would mean that you recognize the difference between the truth and just a bunch of things that people have said. LLMs are not designed to make that distinction.
And if we’re going to be able to use it effectively, we’re going to have to develop the kinds of norms and regulations that we developed for other technologies.
No one knows what intelligence is, much less how it’s going to be captured in computers in the future.
the real risks we should pay attention to are not the far-off existential risks of AI agents taking over but rather the more mundane risks of misinformation and other bad stuff showing up on the internet.

The Democrats are going on the offensive??
But the most effective aspect of the Dems' You're weird strategy is that it is an initiative. For my entire life, the Democrats have been passive campaigners, easily drawn into Republican framing of issues. It has been a mug's gambit to get suckered into arguments over where exactly means testing should begin, rather than rejecting it altogether.
They want to occasionally go entire days without thinking about the President.

Musical chairs fun
The arms race between Microsoft, Amazon and Google is thus game theoretic. Every time Microsoft escalates, Amazon is motivated to escalate to keep up. And vice versa. We are now in a cycle of competitive escalation between three of the biggest companies in the history of the world, collectively worth more than $7T.
