“If #safety means the #water and #power drawn by data centres, the #Kenyan and #Venezuelan workers who post-train these #models on traumatic content, scraped copyrighted #work, deepfaked #women, algorithmic decisions in housing and #welfare, #AI-driven harassment, and the collapsing entry rung of the #labour market — then safety is something unions, courts, regulators, journalists and affected communities can do.”

AI task-completion horizons keep doubling every 5-7 months.
Corollary: The point in time when AI can disempower/subjugate/eradicate humanity with minimal oversight comes *before* the point when it can do so with zero oversight.
We shouldn't be worried about AI takeover, we should be worried about takeover by people who own AI or can afford enough tokens.

It is an interesting question if we can reach critical mass replying on #tech #nerds
So-called #socialnetwork s are mirrors of #society & including the #economic systems & the image of #humanity / #Menschenbild
For me the questions is not only, how much #power the #nerds have, but how good we're in connecting with other parts of our #society
Because #grassroots can beat top down approaches

Pope Leo’s In Magnifica Humanitas names the precise dangers of #AI: job displacement, surveillance infrastructure, and decision systems that assign consequences without #accountability.
His case for hope runs a paragraph.
The tech is “a gift that can reduce suffering and open new doors,” provided it serves human values rather than corporate #power.
He doesn’t name a single door.
Not one form the reduction in #suffering might take.

No one knows exactly how many U.S. #military bases there are around the world. Since there is no publicly available list, here is just a rough overview of known bases.

In case folks are not aware of the interesting contrast about two #democracies - #US Vs #India : a constitutional amendment proposed in India seeks to expand the legislature and ensure population-based representation. And the southern states (smaller population but wealthier) to oppose it as unfair. In the US, the smaller and poorer states hold disproportionately more power in the #Senate and #ElectoralCollege
Which one is right?

" #Global and #regional data demonstrate that #women are more at #risk from #climatechange impacts than #men.

Large, monumental rocks don't move or destroy easily.
But water -- relentless, persistent, implacable water -- breaks down, over time, the most unyielding rock.
Such power in such an ubiquitous substance. As well as an encouragement, to all of us, to be relentless, persistent, and implacable ourselves.

Therefore we transfers #power exactly the wrong people & #corporations

The thing is that growth of #liberal #democracy implies the hitherto #oppressed (e.g. #women, #poor, #marginalized, etc.) became better off and the ones at the top (i.e. #men from dominant #tribes) started really hating that. They subverted democracy to gain more #money (low #taxes) and #power to turn back time (i.e. #MAGA) They use both money and power to increase #tribalism which weakens #liberal #democracy - get it?
Is liberal democracy in terminal decline?
The old system worked under a set of conditions that are no longer presentJohn Burn-Murdoch (Financial Times)
Like it is.
A hardcore summary of the story so far.
There is little doubt we are living in wild and dangerous times…..

"Mark Carney’s speech at Davos yesterday really is worth your time. It made some of the front pages today but the news cycle moves so fast that it’s already yesterday’s news. Part of the challenge of this moment - and I believe the job of journalists - is to focus on the signal, not the noise. And if you have time to take in one thing properly, this week, I’d suggest it’s this."
