De voorgestelde "Wet op de defensiegereedheid" legt het fundament van een militaristische, totalitaire staat die lak heeft aan burgerrechten en de natuur aan zijn laars lapt.

Opinie | Deze defensiewet kan de sloopkogel worden van onze democratische rechtsstaat
Wetsvoorstel: De Tweede Kamer behandelt op dit moment de Wet op de defensiegereedheid. De consequenties voor de leefomgeving, voor natuur en milieu, maar ook voor het recht op privacy zijn zeer ingrij...

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

I'm not sure which tentative remark of mine this refers to, but I suspect you don't find my attempt at thinking out loud precise enough to say more about it :-)

In my view, the 'surprising' nature of some of the side effects of mega-AI systems does not appear to be merely the result of hasty or incorrect application.
But I hope I am mistaken!

And/or "self-constructing side effects" in a way that is 'more'—kind of 'meta'?—self-constructing than ordinary side effects? (Any side-effect unfolds, after all, according to the laws of physics and is in that sense 'self-constructing'.)

I mean this without assuming anything like selfhood, intention, or volition—simply through the built-in capacity to absorb (among many others) patterns of self-reinforcement and escalation and process them in unpredictable ways.

Every piece of technology has unexpected consequences—unwanted side effects. In the context of AI, could a concept like "self-reinforcing side effects" (albeit better phrased) make sense from a computer science perspective?

I realize that this is murky speculation—possibly inspired by centuries of science fiction. Hard to shake it off, though! 😱
