Just remove algorithms that are predictive in nature. Everything non-deterministic, targeted to anything more than high level and imprecise location or similar should be illegal. At the end of the day, the spirit of the law needs to be that dragnet mass surveillance, and the capture and sale of user data for predictive purposes, is an information asymmetry that is an attack vector for propaganda, manipulation, coercion, and general logical corruption of a population.

It is an imminent national security threat to allow such practices, which benefit the most unethical and immoral criminal participants, the most.

Yeah, whether they buy the excess hardware in a fire-sale, nationalize open AI/Anthropic into the DoD on nat sec grounds, or just sign several hundred billion dollar contracts with them, we’re just splitting hairs. The threat and their intentions remain the same.

This still applies.

Surveillance fascism needs the RAM, compute, and storage to implement totalitarianism and autonomous killing machines that won’t refuse to genocide the proles once they realize climate change is significantly worse than advertised, and our “democracies” are an illusion controlled by a big club of plutocrats.

When the AI bubble pops, the US government will bail out all the tech companies, and all of the debt will be transferred to the working class via our retirement account losses and inflation; no different to the trillions in “forgiven” corporate loans central banks around the world printed during covid. The working class will essentially pay for the nazi big brother and nazi skynet that enslaves them.

Thanyou for coming to my conspiracy theory ted talk.

PedoFashBot it is!

The proles get to roll the AI killbot dice. The humans will be reserved for private jets.

In general, there is an entirely separate rule of law for businesses. That’s why regulations were created. Instead of holding a corporations decision makers and investors criminally liable with existing laws like fraud (“false advertising”, etc), or manslaughter (poisoning and killing their workers, customers, or environment), they created an entirely separate rule of law mostly based on laughable punitive damages with limits that don’t significantly impact investors. The entire system is geared to suppress, oppress, and exploit workers for profit.

Agreed… this made me think about stereotypes like “women are attracted to bad boys” and “nice guys finish last” largely stemming from ambiguity about consent.

“Bad boys” refers to behaviors that appear less empathetic, and care less about consent; as in guys that are more reckless and take more risks. Biologically, success in mating is mostly a numbers game, regardless of species, and without taking a chance and trying, the only way you’l ever succeed is through luck. It’s easier to take a risk if you don’t care about consent or the feelings of others.

“Nice guys” refers to behaviors associated with empathy and caring about consent, but sociopathic people also display due to anxiety, cowardice, or attempted coercion/manipulation etc.

The truth is most if us wouldn’t dare do anything remotely inappropriate based solely upon the assumption that hints were dropped.

This can’t be overstated. If a person is caring and empathetic, they are far less likely to take the risk of making the people they care about, or are attracted to, feel uncomfortable, objectified, etc. The threshold in taking a risk will be much higher. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that empathy and care = ability to read “hints”, navigate social situations, or possesses emotional maturity either.

Always check no tolls. It’ll always recommend the toll, unless there is an accident or major traffic disruption, even if it only saves 1 min. Rarely are tolls worth it outside peak hour.

Yeah, when corporate and lobbyist lawyers are passing around a doc, obviously the easiest method is to simply insert their own provisions. They’re not paid to understand, rephrase and simplify the text. They’re paid to make it as complex and obtuse as possible.

Lol. Trillion dollar corporation at the center of the AI bubble, who would stand to lose trillions if a major criminal lawsuit and precedent were set against AI corpo liability, just so happens to buy the victim corporation within weeks of a post-mortem indicating criminal incompetence and negligence by an AI corpo, which it also has 100 billion invested in.

You, the master of pattern recognition: “coincidence”

That’s why Nvidia bought Hugging Face; to stop HF from suing. Nvidia sacrificed a few days of profit to keep the AI bubble inflated and kick the can down the road.

No. They need life in prison. Hundreds of them.

Remember that story where the good guys committed extortion and fraud to succeed? Yeah, me neither…

We’re already letting them bro. The great filter is us. I’ll be surprised if we make it to 2050. The entire industrial revolution is an unplanned terraform, and our response to the potential destruction of a stable climate, and most macroscopic life on Earth, is to double down, consume product, elect pedophiles, worship the most morally bankrupt psychopaths and sociopaths in politics, business, and entertainment; not to mention the widespread contempt and lack of empathy for “others” not like me, for some flagrantly dissonant reason.

We are in the midst of a global mental illness epidemic, and the average talking chimp is sleepwalking through it; barely cognizant of what is even happening outside their personalized propaganda bubble.

I’m sure the corporate whores of the 2020’s “Labor” party will bend over like the neoliberal cucks they are.

Like Canada, they’ll probably virtue signal sovereignty but continue the backend business deals with fascism, and continue courting the political financing of the fascist elite.

Capitalism is the most efficient system… at enabling psychopaths and pedophiles to impoverish and enslave humanity, and destroy the planet.

It’s more likely that the government is compromised by other for-profit interests, and most shit legislation is intentionally hamstrung or loop holed.

Statistical models are not technically algorithms; they are a heuristic which “approximates” a solution probabilistically. They use algorithms to function and operate on data (like everything a computer does) but they are not algorithms themselves.

The main thing they have to do is clearly define that results derived by statistical modeling are opt-in, set limits on what personal data can be used to present content, and ensure there are significant penalties for crippling the experience of everyone who hasn’t opted-in, which all are guaranteed to do to force users to opt-in.

They should define a bare minimum baseline of data points that should be made available to users to control the content they want to see using non-statistical algorithms (e.g. time, location, content type or popularity, friends/subs/followed only or ones they recommend themselves, etc). They should also define that opt-in/out (enabling and disabling statistical model results) should be a part of the main filter UI that uses the aforementioned data points; a simple toggle at the top of their page/feed, permanently visible and near-instantly applicable; otherwise they’re guaranteed to hide it away and make opt-in/out a major friction point.

Basically you need to treat them like they’re sociopathic criminals who will never act in good faith voluntarily, because all multinationals and large corporations are lead by criminally corrupt sociopaths.

The cause is capitalism. Every company is driven by an insatiable profit motive to endlessly grow, and extract as much value from consumers and employees as possible, like a cancer.
