Europe’s AI crackdown looks doomed to be felled by Silicon Valley lobbying power | John Naughton | The Guardian
Can it be that no high officials in these three countries have been following the behaviour of US tech companies since the dawn of the web? Hoping for ethical behaviour from such outfits is like praying for the conversion of China to Catholicism. More proximately, have they not noticed what happened only the other day when OpenAI’s board, ostensibly charged with ensuring that the company’s foundation models were good for humanity, was suddenly replaced by people with less elevated objectives, namely the maximisation of shareholder value.
Agreeing and disagreeing with the Englishman again my readers. The crackdown is doomed, the analogy about China and Catholicism is great. That will never happen. But disagree–objectives in “less elevated objectives” is questionable regardless of optimization aims. And yes the board should have been replaced for the very salvation of the company., aims or not.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
