Not just #ChatControl.

Can't wait for #Orban, and consequently #Putin, to get hold of this:

»This will enable secure #automated exchanges of #fingerprints, #DNA profiles, #vehicle registration data, #facial images, and police #records through EU routers. At national level, Member States need to implement the Information Exchange Directive enhancing information exchange channels for seamless cross-border information flow, while ensuring their integration with Union-level systems, such as SIENA«

We already hae #AGI, it's just not replacing like doctorates but is rather in it's "#8bit" era...

Cuz that's already happening to some extent as machines need to be barely better than humans to win by virtue of economic scalability...

  • For comparison: Just saving 5-10% fuel on a plane is enough for airlines to retrofit entire fleets with new engines or selling them off into the used market...

“Though it seemed completely #automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 #people in #India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate #checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.”

Just learned that there’s a JavaScript-based screen reader driver for test automation called Guidepup.

guidepup.dev

Works with VoiceOver & NVDA (no Narrator or Orca/Linux support – but Orca is broken under Wayland so the latter, at least, is not surprising.)

Very cool! I look forward to the day that writing accessibility tests is as commonplace as writing unit tests.

"Something you need to understand is that when #capitalists #say something “can’t be #automated” what they mean is “it can be automated, but running a #sweatshop is cheaper.”

Meanwhile, when #workers say something “can’t be automated” they mean “maybe you can automate it but the results will be somewhere between ‘incredibly poor #quality’ and ‘turns #people into meat paste’.”

Anyway I feel like that’s a distinction worth mentioning."

Abdication of our #human responsibility is the greatest danger of #AI, in all its forms, past, current, and future.

The technology should always be considered and used as #tool wielded by people with rigorous #oversight and limited power.

That won't happen, and we will absolutely live in a world where critical decisions directly and indirectly affecting all but the #elite will be #automated.

Not only were #Huxley, #Orwell, and others prescient, so too was #Kafka.

A #surreal new world dawns.
