In theory, I'd fully agree.
But #OSI is rushing to open wash any black box with [a new "Open Source AI" that nobody want (except BigTech)](https://samjohnston.org/2024/10/15/the-osi-lacks-competence-to-define-open-source-ai/).

Omini di burro.
Come l'omino di burro del romanzo di Collodi, chi introduca nelle scuole e nelle università strumenti di "intelligenza artificiale generativa", promette agli studenti un Paese dei Balocchi in cui potranno scrivere senza aver pensato.

State-affiliated Chinese hackers penetrated AT&T, Verizon, Lumen and others; they entered their networks and spent months intercepting US traffic - from individuals, firms, government officials, etc - and they did it all without having to exploit any code vulnerabilities. Instead, they used the back door that the FBI requires every carrier to furnish:

The questions from the @osi's session on the #OSAID last week at #OSSEU weren't captured well on video, so I transcribed them for you.

Turns out @tarakiyee was right on Open Source AI in "Is the Open Source Bubble about to Burst?" https://tarakiyee.com/is-the-open-source-bubble-about-to-burst/
The #OSAID's weasel wording creates loopholes big enough to drive a truck through sideways: https://discuss.opensource.org/t/malicious-compliance-with-the-release-candidate-open-source-ai-definition/642

Anche di questo articolo #Facebook non permette la pubblicazione. Perché critica #Draghi o perché dice che la Cina investe nella ricerca? https://www.roars.it/la-cina-leuropa-e-draghi/
I really think that every marginalized group that suffered #discrimination and systemic oppression should join the discussion about #OpenSourceAI
If a black box will be distributed, regulated and trusted as #OpenSource, no human right organization will be able to inspect the dataset used to train it.
And if you can implant undetectable backdoors in a machine learning model (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974), you can much more easily implant undetectable bias that will hurt some groups of people to benefit others.
#LGBTQ people and victims of systemic #racism should really demand transparency,...before it's too late!
TIL that a #BlackBox #AI can be defined as #OpenSource.
Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.
Yet, for #OSI it's enough.
And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.
Or you will be silenced.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"
Ti consiglio caldamente #librewolf, un fork di #firefox un po' più serio sulla protezione dei dati.
Già che ci sei, puoi anche installarci le estensioni #LocalCDN, #JShelter e #LibRedirect.
Il browser chiede a Google i trend, inviandogli come minimo il tuo ip (e forse altre info) per determinare la tua area geografica di riferimento.
E quel che è peggio, è abilitato di default e per disabilitarlo devi cliccare sui risultati (quindi DOPO il primo invio).
NB: nel primo messaggio ho scritto una cosa probabilmente errata: forse non invia la stringa di ricerca (non ho provato).

What happens if the proposed EU chat control regulation passes?
This series of news reports and press releases imagines the first year of cascading consequences.
It illustrates how the well-intentioned-but-flawed proposal will make detecting child abuse imagery more difficult while harming innocent people, national security, and the EU’s digital sovereignty.
Please share. The EU resumes discussions of the proposal today.

Lo sai che da qualche tempo #Firefox informa #Google di ciò che cerchi anche se usi un altro motore di ricerca?

Dicono solo negli US, ma diversi italiani se lo sono trovati abilitato di default dopo un aggiornamento.

La vigilancia ocurrirá directamente en tu dispositivo (escaneo por el lado del cliente), comprometiendo tu privacidad y seguridad incluso antes de enviar un mensaje📲👀
Los representantes de España han sido de los más radicales en su postura contra la privacidad.
A pesar de que esta medida propia de regímenes dictatoriales ha sido bloqueada varias veces, la insistencia en colarla , pese a su impopularidad, es alarmante. ⚠️

Sto pensando di fare un sito per la #FestaDeiPopoli con features tipo "Il tuo browser non è aggiornato! Ma avrai i tuoi buoni motivi per non aggiornarlo, quindi abbiamo fatto di tutto perché tu possa visitare questo sito" (con un degrade gracefully) e "Non hai installato un adblock! Male! Ricordati di installarlo" e cose simili.
