Google DeepMind: Mitarbeiter fordern Ausstieg aus KI-Militärverträgen
Fast 200 Angestellte von #Google #DeepMind zeigen sich besorgt, dass die von ihnen entwickelte #KI-Technologie zur #Kriegsführung eingesetzt wird.
Innerhalb von Google DeepMind, der auf Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) spezialisierten britischen Tochter des US-Internetkonzerns, wächst der Unmut über die Unterstützung von #Big-Data-Lösungen für kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen. Knapp 200 DeepMind-Mitarbeiter – rund 5 Prozent der Belegschaft – unterzeichneten kürzlich einen Brief, in dem sie den Tech-Giganten aufforderten, seine Verträge mit #Militärorganisationen aufzulösen. Dies berichtet das US-Magazin Time. Die Autoren des Schreibens vom 16. Mai nennen demnach zwar keine konkreten Streitkräfte, denn es gehe ihnen nicht um einen bestimmten Konflikt. Sie verweisen jedoch auf Meldungen, wonach Google einen direkten Vertrag zur Bereitstellung von Cloud-Computing- und KI-Diensten für das israelische Militär (#IDF) hat und – zusammen mit Amazon – Teil des einschlägigen Projekts Nimbus ist. Dieses soll im #Gaza-Krieg für #Massenüberwachung und Zielselektionen verwendet werden.

[l] Aus der beliebten Reihe "mit KI wird alles schlechter", heute: Google.
Googling the question "How much has Google invested in AI?" that same AI, now baked into the search engine, reports that "In April 2024, Google CEO Demis Hassabis said that Google would spend more than $100 billion." Direct cut and paste, dear reader. This will come as news to Google's actual CEO, Sundar Pichai.
Die Google-"KI" weiß nicht, wer der CEO von Google ist.
Demis Hassabis ist der CEO von Deepmind, einem "KI"-Startup, das immerhin von Google gekauft wurde.

my commentary on the fake indian Pocahantas #Warren's comments.
during the #covid #plannedemic shutdowns (which YOU supported, Lizzy),
big #corporations (which donate to YOUR re-election)
with no #competition (due to YOUR heavy #taxes and #regulations which cut out the little guy from competition)
raised prices because they could (because YOU've been asleep at the antitrust wheel), as well as raising prices because you shut down all the supply lines, moved our manufacturing overseas, and now America can't even make a pair of socks, let alone bacon.
How'd we end up with these #megacorps besides through YOU turning a blind eye to their excesses because they donated to your campaign? yes: some of us can still #followthemoney. #Google, #Facebook, #Amazon, #UofC are YOUR donors - not Jim's Grocery or a small gas station. YOU say you're against #BigCorp - but you really just want to pick the winning BigCorp.
Now you want to swoop in with your government power and tell the BigCorp donors that didn't donate to your campaign how much they can charge ALL the time, instead of just in a freak plannedemic that you caused?
no.
MORE government is NEVER the answer. LESS government is ALWAYS the answer.

Because this comes up again and again. No, I don't like #google and #YouTube either. I share these links for technical and legal reasons. Please use e.g. #LibRedirect to make yourself #independent of the dirty bastards. #decentral #free
https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/113006857149212121 lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org - In a slap in the face to users, #Google says it will not fix Chrome for older Linux systems. For backstory see:
https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/113005994244041783
This despite their own support page noting that they are supported. They also say this was not an accident and that they did this intentionally despite total lack of warning to users.
MORE:
Showing a level of disdain for users that is remarkable even for Google, Google now says they will NOT fix Chrome that has suddenly been broken without warning (Chrome Stable 128) for older Linux systems, despite their own support page saying those systems are supported, with no mention of current or future deprecation, as of this morning.
It is also worth noting that arguments suggesting one should expect Chrome to stop working when an OS goes End Of Life (absent extended support) are invalidated by Google's own actions. For example, they kept updating Chrome for Windows 7 -- LONG end of life -- until relatively quite recently, and warned of the upcoming end of support for Chrome on Win7 long in advance of that date.
This situation is absolutely shameful.

What the fuck happened to the old, good internet?\
\
I mean, sure, our bosses were a little surveillance-happy, and they were usually up for sharing their data with the NSA, and whenever there was a tossup between user security and growth, it was always YOLO time.\
\
But Google Search used to work. Facebook used to show you posts from people you followed. Uber used to be cheaper than a taxi and pay the driver more than a cabbie made. Amazon used to sell products, not Shein-grade self-destructing dropshipped garbage from all-consonant brands. Apple used to defend your privacy, rather than spying on you with your no-modifications-allowed Iphone.\
\
There was a time when you searching for an album on Spotify would get you that album – not a playlist of insipid AI-generated covers with the same name and art.\
\
Microsoft used to sell you software – sure, it was buggy – but now they just let you access apps in the cloud, so they can watch how you use those apps and strip the features you use the most out of the basic tier and turn them into an upcharge.\
\
What – and I cannot stress this enough – the fuck happened?!\
\
I’m talking about enshittification.
