How could it even possibly be a good idea to allow mods on Google Earth? How can Alphabet not understand its obligations as a source of ground truth?

See how Google Earth let people make fake scenes of bombings, riots and destruction
Google put on hold an AI feature in Google Earth just hours after it was introduced. People used it to create AI-manipulated aerial views of horrific scenes.

US states have to enforce the rule of law since their federal government won't. Which means maybe those states are available partners for helping the rest of the world govern the unrecognised and unregulated #transnationalUtilities presently domiciled in the US. #antitrust #competitionLaw
More than 30 states will resume their antitrust trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Monday after negotiations this week failed to result in many states joining a tentative settlement reached by the Justice Department.

You cannot provide essential infrastructure AND say you make cybersecurity e.g. ransomware decisions as business decisions e.g. weighing whether security or ransom costs more.

This is why I don't think the solution is just breaking up companies. Though disaggregating their legal entity status along geographic / jurisdictional lines might be part of the solution of better governing this essential infrastructure. #transnationalUtilities #AIEthics #AGI
Running a low-latency platform for instant comms capable of carrying millions of concurrent audio/video calls requires a pre-built, planet-spanning network of compute, storage and edge presence that requires constant maintenance, significant electricity and persistent attention and monitoring. 4/

IMO the problem is we stopped identifying & regulating utilities – probably because utilities are no longer national, but transnational concerns. This is the kind of thing we need to negotiate new treaties about – how to govern such entities. #transnationalUtilities #digitalGovernance #twitter

Not just unis. They're threatening EU govts with a purported #AILaunch to get them all as deeply invested in their own foundation models–I assume hoping also somehow we'll come up with a way to make it pay. I suspect there isn't one but maybe that's how we'll make GAFAM into #transnationalUtilities.

Google scholar shows just 4 cites of Microsoft's press release, & none of the EC's "noting" the event.
It's easy to find complaints about the LACK of remedy, but not documenting of what WAS done, nor its effectiveness. Nor utilities.

But possibly unable as individuals nations. We may even need scale-up beyond the EU. But I have hope we can get this on the agenda for the new rule-of-law oriented trade consortia. #transnationalUtilities
