"In 1974, I was a kid from San Diego who wanted to build guitars. I could never have imagined it would one day lead to me supporting elephant dung research in Africa. But you can’t unknow what you know…
This isn’t about charity or PR. It’s about responsibility and, ultimately, #resilience." #ethics

Digital things can be property in the UK and man read the legalese especially if you are up for some monarchy. The legal act is short, but there's a long blogpost if you want to understand it [rozenberg.substack.com/p/the-shorte...](https://rozenberg.substack.com/p/the-shortest-act )

It's happening again – I wrote a #LinkedIn post about how the US is entering an AI surveillance dystopia. It quickly got 7,8K views, 8 shares, 68 reactions & 11 comments, then suddenly 0. My comment on this has 9 views. This quashing of "wrong" virality also hit X… [www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7429049415232974848/ )

Wow! Happy I could help! But I'm sure I learned a lot more from you two than you could have from me. Super important work explaining who does the dirty work that makes up the logic of the authoritarian state.

I wish they gave these to you every time you increased academic rank. I particularly tend to forget (took a long time to recognise) the second point.
I got this at the council of Europe parliamentary meeting two weeks ago Monday.

This was also an undeclared war, I believe at the time referred to technically as a police action. Senate never declared war on any part of Vietnam.

I was going to skype "even if #Tesla never had the data, THAT would be obstruction of justice." AI companies are morally and in the EU at least legally obliged to keep evidence of having followed due diligence. But look at THIS smoking gun: 1/2

Does anyone know what proportion of energy demand from data centres in the US is
- (gen)AI
- cryptocurrency/blockchain mining
- any other big uses?
Also how this changes over the day / data surges?
Interested in energy security.

The woman closest to me called out the stupid claim that AI will solve intractable social issues, that we need to have people and governments. The moron to her left reframes that as saying AI can’t do anything, and says“the past few weeks show it can do anything.” #AIActionSummit vs #accelerationism
