tech companies & executives are not scared enough of the consequences of harming people. they know they're ultimately very insulated from the blowback for wildly reckless experiments on people; that makes for a very unhealthy environment that we need to fix now

In contrast, whether a large corporation or a small independent operator, the social norms in the tech industry and open source movement just don’t evince trustworthy stewardship and responsibility over other people’s information. At best they have this hands-off pinkie swear of disintermediation.

The theory of the Texas stock exchange is that companies don't go public because of exchange fees but the reason companies don't go public is because private markets are insanely liquid and there's next to no regulation of private companies.

I did a non-trivial amount of work on the use of facial recognition in Login.gov while in leadership at GSA, and at Treasury. The short version: it's racist. (And that was for 1-to-1 matching, which is much simpler than 1-to-many.) The error rate on this must be horrifying.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

This was the plan. Enclose information access into the oracle prompt, flood the rest of the internet with shit, own the only remaining means of accessing information.

![The most obvious power grab from pushing KG-LLMs in place of search is illustrated neatly by a handful of Google researchers in a figure from their “Rethinking Search” paper [184]:
Recreation of Figure 1 from "Rethinking Search: Making Domain Experts out of Dilettantes" from Metzler et al in 2021. Two panels with block diagrams: On left (Retrieve-then-rank), a Query goes to a retrieval service, which bidirectionally connects to an "Index." The index then connects to a "Rank" stage, and finally to "Results." "Retrieve" also connects to "Rank" because some queries can be satisfied by the search engine directly, like eg. Google's factboxes. Everything but the "Index" is enclosed in a box labeled "Search Engine" and Index is within a box labeled "The Internet". On right (Unified retrieve-and-rank), the same diagram with the Index omitted and in its place three question marks indicating the entire internet has been removed from the model. Instead the query goes directly to a "Model" which gives "Results."
That gigantic sucking sound is KG-LLM powered search enclosing the act of accessing information entirely within the search platform. It gives echoes of AMP, Apple News, and Facebook Instant Articles [212, 213], where platforms preferentially serve their own versions of pages (that also happen to contain their own telemetry embedded) combined with the strategy of moving ever more web content into the search results page through eg. factboxes and answer boxes91.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t5atl3zfywjjcsutabwimnk4/bafkreiciskllbvy47oebrdwl7popzge6xxd7br727wwkqmkpsli7u5qedi@jpeg)
