interested in our 'AI for all' government's response to this, since digital sovereignty has been big on their agenda.
the fundamental fact is BigAI operates in violation of sovereignty, privacy, & plagiarism laws. also borders. we need regulation as first principle.

...edtech that is nontransparent, proprietary, & built on extraction & plagiarism. the only 'ethic' of BigAI is profit.
Just read a professional development plan for a well-resourced district that has administrators and teachers spending their entire year implementing “ethical AI.” What this means is that hours, days, and weeks of teacher training, observations, and evaluations will focus on ed tech.

Spent a full day at @ec.europa.eu as expert in a foresight workshop on the impact of AI on democracy.
We tried to come up with some positive scenarios too, but that was much harder than dystopian ones, like Big Tech's take-over of politics & state capture by Big Tech.

Est-ce aussi une raison du virage des bigAI vers les biotech et bigPharma qui possèdent des tonnes et tonnes de data/failed experience? Pour acquérir ces notions/knowledge manquant? Et aussi aller sur du concret, un peu à l’image de DeepMind (alphafold, alphagenome, WeatherNext,…)

This reads as our culture of openness enabled BigAI to pour venture capital into scooping human mathematicians.
Scooping isn’t new. But if based on more than coincidence, it destroys working relationships.
It would be a shame for this to introduce a protective culture around partial results.

LLMs sold over network calls from BigAI appear to be like a hyper-contextualised human entropy farming operation. All this to enable that the next update to the proprietary "model" can be better at searching/retrieving/sampling solutions to a set of already seen ("in-distribution") problems.
