The ‘Great Meme Reset’ Is Coming

🗞️🇪🇺 "Europe is set to streamline its #AI and privacy laws in a move critics say will appease Big Tech and U.S. President Donald Trump. 127 civil organisations called the proposals 'the biggest rollback of digital fundamental rights in EU history'."

Almost half a century later, IBM's internal training documents from the late 70s are specifically valuable in the era of #AI.

By 2030, electricity consumption for #AI will be equivalent to Japan's entire energy use. This equates to a potential increase of 220 million tons of carbon emissions by that time.

We are f*cking over our environment beyond any reasonable repair.

But hey, maybe some billionaires will make more money, so it's worth it, right?

I am surprised the @EUCommission is weakening #GDPR in order to please #ArtificialIntelligence companies in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

Props to @mgsiegler for highlighting this recent change!

Good morning, everyone. Oh, look: Today, the @EUCommission launches their plans to gravely undermine our fundamental rights because tech lobbyists asked them to.

José Marichal has a new book: “You Must Become an Algorithmic Problem”

“In the age of AI, where personal data fuels corporate profits and state surveillance, what are the implications for democracy?

This incisive book explores the unspoken agreement we have with tech companies. In exchange for reducing the anxiety of an increasingly complex online world, we submit to algorithmic classification and predictability. This reduces incentives for us to become “algorithmic problems” with dire consequences for liberal democracy. He calls for a movement to demand that algorithms promote play, creativity and potentiality rather than conformity.

This is a must-read for anyone navigating the intersection of technology, politics and identity in an increasingly data-driven world.”

I'm beginning to think SoftBank will be the first #AI #bubble brick to tumble. They took a huge hit earlier this week and then again overnight.

Open question: Is this 'buying the dip', a vote of confidence in the AI companies, or an #ExtinctionBurst?

To answer yesterday's question? I'm going with, "Some investors were buying the dip." But I might change that to 'Extinction Burst' if we see daily peaks and valleys like this for another week.

In related news, SoftBank is making a weird move. Read the whole conversation here:

"Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears"

Struggling to understand what all this means? Maybe you relied too often on (inaccurate &/or biased) #AI summaries, rather than using your little grey cells.
I could draw a picture of it for you, if you'd like, but, to make up for all the graphic work I've lost to AI, my fee went up.
