I have an #AI prediction. You know how all these #ChatControl laws are getting rushed through various governments (#Canada: Bill C-22, for example)? You know how all these monstrously large datacenters are getting rushed through to be built? Well, I think these two things are linked together. When the AI industry found they can't really find willing customers to buy the AI services they offer, **to the extent that they profit**, now they are turning to capture unwilling customers who can be **forced** to pay: taxpayers. And how is that capture achieved? By the chatcontrol laws. The datacenters will run AI for the governments (controlled by TechBro billionaires), to scan everybody's phones and computers for CSAM (not to mention any and every agenda an authoritarian leader, TechBro billionaire, etc might also want to pursue). Those Datacenters are meant for mass governmant surveillance, paid for by taxpayers, who will be ostensibly fulfilling the mandate of the Chatcontrol laws.

I look at patterns in LLM output. The tell is more than simple orthographic tics.

New Aniplex president Shu Nishimoto says the company is open to "carefully considering" AI if it can have a positive impact on creators' work.

Considering Aniplex oversees studios like A-1 Pictures and CloverWorks, this could have a major impact on the future of anime production.

Should AI be used to assist anime creators, or should studios avoid it altogether?

Homomorphic Encryption and Sovereign AI

Fully homomorphic encryption lets a machine compute on ciphertext it can never read. Inside a sovereign intelligence operating system that runs on hardware the customer owns, that mathematics becomes a working boundary: the data stays concealed, the brains stay owned, and every action is signed before it runs.

"AI surveillance raises a range of public policy challenges: technical biases, unauditable systems, and inflexible automated law and social rule enforcement that can promote discrimination and undermine transparency, accountability and the rule of law. But we believe the most urgent and long-term impact will be its broader chilling effects.

In a new book, Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age, Jon Penney explains how surveillance, technology and power can be weaponized to influence behavior at scale. Surveillance, personalization, uncertainty and authority are all key mechanisms to increase the scale and impact of chilling effects. They cause people to self-censor their words and actions, to become more conformist and compliant and thus easier to manage and control. And the effects are additive: the more mechanisms employed, and the more powerful the form, the greater the chill.

Computerization has long allowed data collectors to track our locations, collect lists of whom we communicate with, and monitor our spending habits – unless we use cash. What’s new is an unprecedented fusion of each of these mechanisms, persistent and unrelenting. AI brings an analytical ability to spy on the contents of our communications, and to answer sophisticated questions about our whereabouts and activities: actions that previously required human analysts are now automated. The result will be a kind of supercharged societal level of chilling effects where fear, self-censorship and groupthink reign, and dissent, creativity and innovation become increasingly rare."

In the near future, AI-powered surveillance systems will be able to track everything we do in public, and much of what we do in private. And if we do something wrong – shoplift, litter, jaywalk, you name it – the system will notice, retain it, tie it to your official government record, communicate that fact to you, and provide real-time alerts to any relevant authorities … and maybe also to the general public. Think of these systems as automated speed cameras, but on steroids. Only they’ll enforce not just speed limits, but any other rule you can imagine. And you won’t receive a ticket weeks later by mail; you’ll be informed about and fined for your violation immediately. These systems will combine powerful AI, public and private surveillance via real-time facial recognition technology and digital tracking, mass databases and highly personalized enforcement. If deployed at scale, they will have profound chilling effects not just on personal freedoms, but democracy and social progress itself. China has been developing its surveillance infrastructure for years. The country has over 600 million surveillance cameras, increasingly powered by AI and facial recognition to enforce legal and social rules. Take the case of Lao

Duan, a Chinese citizen blacklisted by the system after he lost his job and was unable to repay a series of loans. When he visited Beijing, the city’s AI surveillance system identified him by his face at a major intersection and displayed his face, name, and citizen ID number on a large electronic billboard nearby with a message that he was an untrustworthy person. Similar systems are now being deployed across China and integrated with its infamous online monitoring, censorship, and social credit systems. AI surveillance is now being experimented with in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. According to a new report, the US Department of Homeland Security is rapidly increasing its use of AI-based surveillance, including facial recognition and the monitoring of social media accounts, to keep tabs on immigrants, dissidents, journalists, legal observers and protesters. While the systems are ostensibly used to maintain security and public safety, the real aim is often social control. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle – a powerful tech giant that works closely with the Trump administration – has said: “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting.” The chilling effects are the point.

Inlichtingendiensten AIVD en MIVD lijken hun eigen AI te trainen met data van burgers, zo stelt burgerrechtenbeweging Bits of Freedom (BoF). De organisatie reageerde op een rapport van de Commissie Toezicht op de Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdiensten (CTIVD) over het onrechtmatig verwerken van persoonsgegevens in bulkdata door de inlichtingendiensten en dat die persoonlijke privacy beter moeten beschermen.

Bij de uitvoering van hun taken maken de AIVD en MIVD gebruik van zogenaamde bulkdatasets. Het gaat om omvangrijke verzamelingen persoonsgegevens met soms miljoenen regels gegevens. Daarbij kan het gaan om namen en telefoonnummers maar ook om locatiegegevens, socialmediagegevens of inhoudelijke communicatiegegevens. De gebruikte datasets zijn afkomstig van overheidsinstanties. Het kan echter ook gaan om commercieel verkrijgbare datasets, of gestolen datasets die door criminelen worden aangeboden."

Internally known as “#Cannes,” the project, run by Meta contractor #Covalen, targeted #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT, #Google’s #Gemini, and #Character.AI chatbots using throwaway under-18 accounts.

Prompts focused on suicide and self-harm, eating disorders, and sex or romance, all written from the perspective of a child.

🪿 Zuckerberg ‘Admits’ Meta’s Layoffs Were Ineffective

｢ In retrospect, he said, the “trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasn’t really accelerated in the way that we expected,” and that the company’s bets on the new structure “haven’t come to fruition yet.” Zuckerberg was referring to AI agents, automated systems that can execute tasks on behalf of a user ｣

#meta #ai #layoffs #vibecoding

The defining moment of the bubble breaking would be the collapse or sale of one of the large US #AI houses. I’m watching both #OpenAI and #Anthropic for signs of trouble. OpenAI has way too many monetary commitments that depend on them increasing revenue manyfold, which is never going to happen with the market trending the way it does; and Anthropic is now forced to hike up token rates eight- or tenfold in short order, which will surely cause the majority of corporate subscribers to vastly reduce their AI deployments, and reverting once again to investing in people. Either of these companies stumbling will cause the market to take a critical look at all the data center and silicon contracts that are in place and ask whether any of it will ever be fully executed. And once *that* happens, the dominos will fall.

I think this happens soon. I’m getting my popcorn. This is gonna be good.

"I can’t tell if Zuckerberg is dimwitted or just evil. The problem during the first era of the AI boom (circa 2023) was indeed that Meta was too slow to identify the metaverse flub. But that was no longer Meta’s problem entering the agentic coding era: The problem, rather, was that Meta had no coherent strategy. The last thing it should’ve done was “move fast enough to adopt” because “adopting” was not the answer to Meta’s problems. AI-assisted programming has developed in the last six months — contrary to Zuckerberg’s claim that it “hasn’t really accelerated” — but indeed not in the way Meta expected, because Meta’s vibes-based management this time was just plain wrong. AI never had the potential to replace so many workers at an instant. The vibe was — unlike in 2023 — not late, but wrong entirely. And I’m confident in saying only a fool could have lent credence to that laughably incorrect theory."

Schneier: AI and Liability

Bruce's take on these issues obviously very closely syncs with mine. -L

A key quote from his essay:

- - -

More generally, liability concerns could mean that many current use
cases for agents won't be commercially viable. Companies may not be able to profitably operate AI lawyers, doctors and media influencers if they are held responsible for what they say and do.

We're OK with this outcome. There's nothing in the law that requires
us to accommodate AI systems if they are fundamentally untrustworthy, just as we don't need to accommodate untrustworthy human systems. Any company that won't stand by the statements its agents make-whether human or AI-doesn't deserve users' time or money.

“Google’s power consumption rose by 7 TWh between 2023 and 2024. That was bad. But it rose by a whopping 12 TWh between 2024 and 2025, almost double last year’s increase. Google’s power consumption isn’t just growing – the rate at which it is growing is growing. We have a word for this: exponential growth.

Every time I look at this chart I have to go and double check every single Google number, because it just looks so ridiculous

The power grids that Google’s data centres are plugged into have to increase generation to match this new demand – and that includes rising use of coal and gas, and as a consequence, worse climate disasters like deadly heatwaves. Google’s consumption is rising way faster than the grids are being cleaned up with renewables, and that means their emissions number is going up fast, too. It’s the steepest rise on record:”
