But too often, our crisis warning systems depend on Facebook and Twitter/X, social media platforms that are fading in popularity and have been engineered to hide vital information from people when they need it most.

Don't let #TheNerdReich in, #auspol. They want to repeat the #Fascism currently destroying the #USA around the world. The owners of #AI are not good actors. We should not buy our #PlaceToStand from these utter arseholes.

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't.
It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

No private company should have this much control over higher ed.
And let’s be clear: OpenAI’s vision is for *their commercial product* to become part of the core infrastructure of higher ed- not AI in general. Because they are currently not a profitable company.

Another underlying part of this is that #TheNerdReich WILL attempt to bias the #LLM towards their views. Saying "it's parroting legacy media" is admitting that he intends to do exactly that. Whether they are successful is another story. But buying our #PlaceToStand from these people...Stupid.
I've had a secret theory for a while that I guess I'll just throw out there:
The right is inevitably going to turn on AI, not because LLMs hallucinate or get things wrong, but because they mostly *get things right*, and reality, as a great man once said, has a liberal bias.

I think that the amount of direct intervention that Musk's team have had to make in order to get Grok to say the sort of thing Musk wants, cannot be understated. AI is bad, but a big part of why it's bad is the people who own it.
