"In 2024, social media #VLOPs submitted their first risk assessments under the #DigitalServicesAct. None of the VLOPs identified #monetization systems as a #systemicrisk."

"Decisions over who is eligible for payment, & what actors & content get financially rewarded, can substantially shape the content that gets created, amplified, and consumed."

Crucial report by @whattofix.tech on how #bigtech's monetization schemes create systemic risks under the #DSA:

The 'integral accident': "When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution… Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress." – Paul Virillio

#AI #AISafety #SystemicRisk #Nuclear: "Like Oppenheimer before them, many merchants of AI believe their creations might change the course of history, and so they wrestle with profound moral concerns. Even as they build the technology, they worry about what will happen if AI becomes smarter than humans and goes rogue, a speculative possibility that has morphed into an unshakable neurosis as generative-AI models take in vast quantities of information and appear ever more capable. More than 40 years ago, Rhodes set out to write the definitive account of one of the most consequential achievements in human history. Today, it’s scrutinized like an instruction manual.

Rhodes isn’t a doomer himself, but he understands the parallels between the work at Los Alamos in the 1940s and what’s happening in Silicon Valley today. “Oppenheimer talked a lot about how the bomb was both the peril and the hope,” Rhodes told me—it could end the war while simultaneously threatening to end humanity. He has said that AI might be as transformative as nuclear energy, and has watched with interest as Silicon Valley’s biggest companies have engaged in a frenzied competition to build and deploy it."

Amazing how many people here on #mastodon are experts on Banking, the FDIC, systemic risk, etc
