No privileged US access to Europe’s tech law oversight. We call on the European Commission to halt plans for a new “dialogue” with the US that could weaken enforcement of EU tech laws. Cooperation must not come at the expense of rule of law and sovereignty. peoplevsbig.tech/no-privilege...

La Commission européenne est-elle en train de céder aux pressions de l'administration Trump et à l'influence de Big Tech avec ce nouveau "dialogue" qu'elle souhaite ouvrir avec les États-Unis? Bruxelles ferait mieux de davantage écouter les voix de la société civile.

Comme le dit @johnnyryan.bsky.social, l'Europe doit résister, ou périr. Chaque renoncement face à Trump serait un clou dans notre cercueil. Le Digital Services Act est l'une des lois pouvant défendre nos démocraties européennes. Protégeons-la et employons-la.

The EU must use the anti coercion instrument now, or be humiliated. Europe must be free to enforce its own law on its own soil.

This is spot on. This AI frenzy and madness gives such an eerie feeling. AI is forced upon us at every opportunity as big tech companies try to bag as many billions as possible from venture capital before the music stops. But the environmental and societal damage will be massive and long-lasting.

Today (w/ @ox.ac.uk @stanford @MIT @LSE) we’re sharing the results of the largest AI persuasion experiments to date: 76k participants, 19  LLMs, 707 political issues. We examine “levers” of AI persuasion: model scale, post-training, prompting, personalization, & more!  🧵:

this is the very technology orgs like the UN is adopting to "solve" gender inequity

Study finds A.I. LLMs advise women to ask for lower salaries than men. When prompted w/ a user profile of same education, experience & job role, differing only by gender, ChatGPT advised the female applicant to request $280K salary; Male applicant=$400K. thenextweb.com/news/chatgpt...

This is outrageous. Full support to @abeba.bsky.social. Dr Birhane's speech “AI for social good: the new face of technosolutionism” was apparently too grounded in reality in this tide of technosolutionism at the "AI for good" summit, which frankly looked like a tech fair.
