AI medical scribes MUST include consent, extreme privacy guardrails, and realistic evaluations — none of which are really true for the systems currently (and extensively!) in use. Otherwise this is just another step in a long parade of clinicians, researchers, and medical systems abusing patients.

Kind of a leap, if you ask me. "Common Crawl’s executive director, Rich Skrenta, has publicly made the case that AI models should be able to access anything on the internet. “The robots are people too,” he told me, and should therefore be allowed to “read the books” for free."
A little-known nonprofit has been lying to news publishers while funneling millions of paywalled articles to tech companies for AI training. Read my investigation in The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
The Nonprofit Doing the AI Industry’s Dirty Work
The web archive Common Crawl has been quietly funneling paywalled articles to AI companies—and lying to publishers about it.

Du hørte kanskje at NTB publiserte en KI-generert melding sist uke. Visste du at KI-sammendraget endret sikkerhetstrussel fra fiendtlige statlige aktører til ekstemvær og aldrende teknologi? Slik ideologisk vridning viser at KI-bias kan være en sikkerhetsrisiko. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
Teknologien truer kunnskapssystemet vårt. Men den norske staten har slukt tekgigantenes PR rått.

Remember: Tech & Religion have *Always* influenced each other. In the West, they used to be explicitly the same thing; elsewhere in the world, they still are. Accepting & learning to parse those motivating values better equips us to understand— & counter— their resulting sociotechnical developments.

1) Jo, det er veldig gode grunnar til at ungane har «krypterte appar».
2) Krypteringa i Telegram er ikkje meir avansert enn i iMessage eller Meta Messenger.
3) Å oppfordre foreldre til å presse _ungar_ over på plattformar som kan seljast til annonsørar... Eg har ikkje ord.

Spør på Bluesky, sa Anne Sigrid! Og vipps har hun gjort det. Altså: Neshornet er et viktig symbol i Jan Kjærstads roman Valgdager, som handler mye om arbeiderpartiet og Norge fra 50-tallet til idag. Klassekampen har også et neshorn som symbol. Er det en sammenheng? Hvorfor!!

If you published a book that was distributed in the USA before 2021, search here to find out whether Anthropic owes you $3000 for pirating your book to train its LLMs. There are lots of Norwegian academics on this list. Also books that are weirdly missing. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

I read a blog post about hand writing and a preprint about how human speech (or presumed human speech on YouTube) is now emulating LLM styles of writing. And I’ve been thinking I might want to write more by hand to prime myself to write in my own voice and not that of an LLM.
