"Already without AI, the existing social media system is fundamentally incompatible with democracy. To discuss the best next political steps, you need a core sense of people believing the same things to be true, and that’s been blown up by recommender algorithms spawning hateful viral transmissions, disinformation and propaganda."

De obligado visionado para salirnos, al menos un ratito, de esa burbuja del fediverso que podría hacernos confundir juicios de valor sobre la IA con realidad.

Uno de los fundadores de Palantir Technologies es Peter Thiel, donante y colaborador de Trump y con una influencia e ideas políticas que no sé si dan más miedo aún que las de su antiguo socio en Paypal, Elon Musk

Al respecto, me entero por uno de los últimos vídeos de Sabine Hossenfelder de la compañía de ia cuyas acciones están subiendo con mayor rapidez. No se trata de OpenAI ni de Meta ni de Google. Se llama Palantir Technologies, una empresa que desarrolla software para el campo de batalla (usado entre otros por el ejército ucraniano) y que está desarrollando agentes para la toma de decisiones en el frente, entre otras aplicaciones.

Los agentes de ia sí que van a suponer un antes y un después en el uso de la informática y de internet y, me temo, que la mayor pesadilla de seguridad/privacidad que podamos imaginar.

"Jarret condemns the burnings, but does so in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want to hear. As for the beatings, the tarring and feathering, and the destruction of “heathen houses of devil-worship,” he has a simple answer: “Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.” He’s had notable success with this carrot-and-stick approach."

"Contrary to popular belief, fossil fuel companies are actually all too happy to talk about the environment. They just want to keep the conversation around individual responsibility, not systemic change or corporate culpability."

"In shifting responsibility for net-zero emissions to consumers, we risk minimising the accountability of larger entities that have a more substantial impact on the environment. We reduce pressure on industries and governments to implement more comprehensive environmental policies and structural change,"
"Instead of placing an unrealistic burden on consumers, we must address the systemic changes needed for genuine environmental impact."

"Since most phones currently don’t have the compute to run very powerful models, and since models keep getting better and in some cases more proprietary, it is likely that much of this processing (and the data you need processed) will have to be offloaded to remote servers.
And that’s the first reason that I would say that AI is going to be the biggest privacy story of the decade."

In a new paper published in Nature Communications, scientists found that the #AMOC has not declined in the last 60 years.
Their findings contrast with previous work, notably a paper from 2018 which reported that the AMOC has declined over the last 70 years.“
”It’s almost unanimous at this point that the Atlantic overturning will slow in the future, but whether or not it will collapse is still up for debate,”

"What many of us are yearning for when we think the past was better isn’t the past itself, but our past selves — when we were younger. Because while things really have been getting better over time, we really have been getting older, with everything that comes along with that experience. And no amount of progress — at least not yet — can reverse that."

Hoy me he dado un baño en el muelle de mi pueblo. El agua estaba más fría que el año pasado por estas mismas fechas. Cuando salí, sin embargo, recordé lo fría que estaba hace décadas, cuando con un poco de brisa se te helaba el cuerpo.
Temperaturas normales o incluso más cálidas de lo habitual para la época nos parecen ahora más frías.
@xkcd tiene una buena viñeta al respecto.

"This chapter examines the evidence supporting the claim that Russia mounted sustained and significant information operations in the United States. It finds that the evidence of Russian inference is strong but that the evidence of its impact is scant. "
"If the biggest win for Russian information operations was to disorient American political communications then overstating the impact of those efforts actually helps consolidate their success"
