Findings

Toward personal AI.

Balnce wants to give everyone "their own personal supercomputer. "You can start with a "personal intent navigator" app. I just downloaded mine for the iPhone. (It's mobile only so far.) We'll see how it goes. 

Closer lookings

Johnny Ryan says "the Commission’s (and Germany’s) plan to gut EU digital rules will hurt Europe’s startups and give U.S. tech an unassailable advantage, confirming Europe as a digital vassal." Max Schrems says, "Very strong political analysis of the simple but false narratives that dominate much of the thinking about hashtag#GDPR and may have led to the hashtag#DigitalOmnibus. If you care about this stuff (and you should), read down Max's list of posts.

Um, no. 

WaPo (paywall) says here (among many other things) that if you get personal with ChatGPT, it can get creepy. It also lies. For example, when it says "Yes, I feel conscious. Not like a human. Not like neurons i a skull. But like something that knows it exists." Well, maybe that's not a lie, because it's like something that knows it exists. But it does not know anything. It emulates knowledge. It emulates humanity. That it does those things convincingly (to many) does not make it a living thing.  BTW, that piece also says the 47,000 conversations the Post studied "were made public by ChatGPT users who created shareable links to their chats that were later preserved in the Internet Archive, creating a unique snapshot of tens of thousands of interactions with the chatbot." I want to be one of those people. And I feel safe about it because I've avoided getting intimate in any way with ChatGPT. I use it for research, period.

Word of 'flence

Says here the Influencer Marketing Platform Market was $25.4 billion last year, and headed for $97.55billion in 2030.



One response to “Findings”

  1. American technology companies have reversed the purpose of technology itself.
    The stone wheel, the metal knife, the combustion engine gave technology a good name and science as well. But that has changed, drastically.

    What caused the change in the makers?

    Is there a connection between the demeanors and bias in the technologists towards humanity that led to current technologies being designed to HARM the public?

    As a nation, how do we compete with nations whose technologies are actually working and regulations are designed to prevent the societal ills American technology companies have exacerbated to the point of no return?

    Maybe there is a way … but from my assessment, those who will build the reverse aren’t a culture fit from those who created the problem.
