@Viss 'Does our cyber insurance cover that?'. 'Can developers who we force to use AI that then forget how to code, or develop some other psychological illness as a result then sue us for damages/workplace injuries?'. 'Does our public liability insurance indemnify us from harms caused by our AI?'

@Viss if AGI is just around the corner why aren't we putting 'sentient spellcheck' and 'AI insider threat' in the risk register?

@benroyce @mike805 @mcnees at least they actually made it to micro-g unlike some...

@mike805 @benroyce @mcnees Never forget dogs got to space before humans.

@zackwhittaker Today's China-bad article is not so terrible, might even be real.

Although a native speaker wouldn't say 'Ni hao', it's a real phrase book opening.

Is this a 'very Chinese time in your life'? Chinamaxxing trend boosts China's soft power

Chinamaxxing is adding more gloss to the recent flourish of Chinese soft power.

@zackwhittaker And don't get me wrong. China definitely bad and bytedance bad on a whole other level altogether pushing onqt (surprisingly) MAGA propaganda via their AI... but telling your ancient pre-internet relative that the Tiktok app itself (rather than the company via third party data sharing agreements) can track you even if you don't use it, is just unethical and ultimately counter productive technophobic scaremongering. Integrity is important, once you lose it... etc

@zackwhittaker Brilliant? It was dogshit journalism. A fucking terrible article, confused, and misleading, targeting only bytedance from a platform that itself has tracking pixels. I am glad you correct the record but the people who would most be misled are let's face it sadly not going to be disabused of the harmful misconceptions due to the reach disparity. Given the fact that the BBC are running pretty regular china-bad opeds I suspect that this is from our man in Havana. So is it even news.

@mainframed767 I am not really in a position to judge as a non-windows user but the general public European perception is that it is bug-ridden, insecure, full of spyware and ads, and absolutley maddening to use when it isn't rebooting. Using windows has never been a real choice for most people.

@mainframed767 Threats of invasion, trade war, political interference have given Europe pause, played into the hands of those that would throw gasoline on anti-American sentiment and completely demoralized and silenced those of us who would resist the tankies. Trump #47 is only confirming what Trump #45 set in motion and Microsoft are the big losers. It will probably take a decade or more but they are cancelled on public euro infrastructure afaict. And not just them. #DigitalSovereignty

@funnymonkey The "we have nothing to hide people" think it doesn't matter because they will never be held accountable for anything.
