As so often what once happened in a Philip K Dick book (in this case Minority Report) has now come to pass... here are Liberty's investigative journalist team on the worrying & expanding experience of predictive policing, and how it produces a large number of false positives when trying to predict criminality.

Once that has been compounded through police prejudice & bad culture, this looks not just unwelcome but positively dangerous!

Across the United States, communities are uniting in opposition to data centers to power generative AI.

I spoke with Saul Levin to talk about those fights and how they center on tangible issues that bring people together.

"Here are the three inverse laws of robotics:

- Humans must not anthropomorphise AI systems.
- Humans must not blindly trust the output of AI systems.
- Humans must remain fully responsible and accountable for consequences arising from the use of AI systems."

Pretty decent for a start. https://susam.net/inverse-laws-of-robotics.html

Born this day: 06/25/1903 (d. 01/21/1950) George Orwell was an English author and journalist. Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) centers on totalitarianism & mass surveillance.

Designed by Michael Kennard, the book cover for George Orwell's "nineteen eighty-four" features a minimalist, typographic design on a solid, opaque, deep forest green background. The backdrop is a uniform, dark, saturated green, devoid of patterns or grain. The title is positioned prominently in the center, rendered in a large, bright white, flowing cursive script. The letters feature thick, rounded strokes and smooth, continuous loops, creating a soft, handwritten appearance that stands out sharply against the green. Layered directly behind this text is a very large, semi-transparent version of the numerals "1984." Rendered in a light, muted gray, these numerals are set in a clean, modern sans-serif typeface and span nearly the entire dimensions of the cover, acting as a subtle, ghostly element that intersects with the white script. At the top edge, the author's name, "George Orwell," appears in the same white cursive script, though at a smaller size. At the very bottom, the phrase "a novel" is centered in a small, matching white cursive font. The composition is strictly centered and symmetrical, utilizing a limited palette of dark forest green, stark white, and light gray. There are no images or illustrations; the design relies entirely on the high-contrast relationship between the typography and the dark field. The lighting is flat and even, with no shadows, highlights, or gradients, resulting in a smooth, matte, two-dimensional graphic appearance.

“For most of history, surveillance ran into the same wall: payroll. A Soviet censor could open your letter. He could not open everyone’s letter, because steaming envelopes takes hands and there were never enough hands. The Stasi got closest, running files on a share of the East German population large enough that historians still argue the exact fraction, and it took warehouses of paper and a network of informants the size of an army to do it. The ceiling was human. Reading you cost a person a day, and a person’s day costs money.”

“What protected the ordinary person was the price of attention. You were boring, and boring was expensive to read.”

“AI removed the ceiling. A model reads every message at a cost rounding to zero, sorts them, flags the interesting ones, and never asks for a raise. The thing that made mass reading impossible was arithmetic, and the arithmetic just inverted. Two variables remain: who holds the data, and what they say when the state asks.”

(Denis Stetskov)

AI use is over hyped by the MBA-itis crowd not competent engineers: it's the new Dot Com Bubble. Yet I don't expect AI to go away anymore than the web did, post crash.

* When do you think the bubble bursts?
* What sorts of corporate Darwinism events will be required to see that happen?
* Post bubble, what do AI workflows actually look like, 5 or 10 years from now?
* What does a Jr. Dev job look like, post bubble?
* Who really succeededs and who really fails, when the bubble bursts?

AI tools have powered the World Cup but thousands of behind-the-scenes data workers may be some of many to thank for its expected $9 billion revenue. Human annotators, some of them footballers, from Brazil, Cambodia and the Philippines, are logging real-time gameplay to help train computer algorithms for teams, broadcasters and the betting industry.

One particularly bizarre facet of business's current fixation with #ai is how it ignores everything they know about pricing.

Almost any human, and some gifted species of trout, can see it's in "loss leader" mode. Fine, exploit the below-cost pricing now, but don't hollow out your organization and become dependent until you've seen the final price card.

It smacks of watching a co-worker roll up in a new $1200 per month car, despite his $30k salary, because "hey, no payments til September!"
