Ik snap de grap niet

Mooi zo. Hopelijk gaan ze ook van Twitter af op een gegeven moment. Je ziet dat vooral politie bijvoorbeeld veel communiceert via Twitter. Het zou beter zijn als ze andere kanalen ontwikkelen om dat te doen.

Zou me niks verbazen als de redenen een flinke dosis narcisme en wat cocaïne oid inhouden.

Zo te lezen gaat het zoals verwacht. Veel beloftes aan kiezers blijken onhaalbaar en ze doen steevast wat goed is voor de boer en houden geen rekening met andere belangen. Ik ben benieuwd wat de BBB stemmers die geen boer zijn ervan denken. Maar misschien willen die het niet weten allemaal.

Thanks! Was looking for something more privacy focused. I had not found this one.

I actually agree with this. This technology should be open. I know that there are arguments to keep it closed, like it could be misused, etc. However, I think that all the scary stories about AI are also a way to keep attention away from the fact that if you have a monopoly on it, you have enormous power. This power will grow when the tech is used more and more. If all this power is in the hands of a commercial business (even though they say they aren't), then you know AI is going to be misused to gain money. We do not have clear insight in what they are doing and we have no reason to trust them.

You also know that bad actors, like dictatorial governments will eventually get or develop the technology themselves. So, keeping it closed is not a good way to protect it from that happening. At the same time, you are also keeping it from researchers who could investigate how to use and develop it further to be used responsibly and to the benefit of humanity.

Also, they relied on data generated by people in society who never got any payment or anything for that. So, it is immoral to not share the results with that same people in society openly and instead keeping it closed. I know they used some of my papers. However, I am not allowed to study their model. Seems unfair.

The dangers of AI should be kept at bay using regulation and enforcement by democratically chosen governments, not by commercial businesses or other non-democratic organisations.

I can definitely recommend getting a Fairphone. I quite happy with my Fairphone 4. Bloatware is limited to Google stuff and they even give instructions how to easily install a custom ROM (have not tried that yet though).

The specs are not great, but good enough for me. But the main advantage for me is that it does not break that easily. I drop my phone all the time. My Samsung phones and Pixel phone I have broken within the first few weeks. Usually I dropped it and the screen cracked, even with a protected case.

I have had this phone for a lot longer now (maybe years by now) and I dropped it like a 1000 times and it is still fine. The screen has not cracked, it still works. Only the side is a little chipped. I don't even use a protective case. And even if it breaks, I can just buy the broken component from their website and easily replace myself using normal tools. So that is really nice.

I think the threat of AGI is much, much lower than that of climate change. It is still debated under scholars whether AGI actually will happen (in the nearby future) and if it does, whether it will actually be a threat to humanity. On the other hand, we are sure that climate change will be a threat to humanity and it is already happening.

I think the main issue with AI on te short term is that humanity will not benefit from it, only large businesses and the already wealthy. While at the same time, people are manipulated at a large scale by these same algorithms (e.g., on social media) to make money for these large businesses or to create societal discord for parties benefitting from that.

I think instilling fears of AGI in the public distracts from that and reduces the chances that this technology will be available to the larger public as these fears might lead to strict regulations and only having a few powerful parties having access to it.

So, don't fear AGI. Fear climate change. Also, be very critical of who has the power over current AI systems and how they are being used.

Just want to say good luck with the surgery!

I am wondering what words it saved and why we did not need those words, but, apparently, we needed all the other ones.

Also, saying that it saved 2 words took more than 2 words. So, it actually added words.

Tja, dat is niet hoe je mensen de auto uit krijgt.

Op zich wel een goede stap denk ik. Ik denk dat het inderdaad beter is om een nieuw iemand neer te zetten en niet een van de oude partijleiders, omdat dat anders veel meer het gevoel geeft dat de ene partij de andere overneemt in plaats van een eerlijke samenvoeging. Ik ben ook blij dat het lukt om de ego's en het eigenbelang opzij te schuiven voor het gezamenlijk belang.
