None of that questions if we should be building AI in the first place.
Who stands to benefit when AI is developed and has massive consequences on society? I think it is mainly capitalists and global elite benefiting and society losing out.
Also no mention of the environmental destruction that is needed to build and run AI.


I’m skeptical when AI leaders and big tech are behind it. They want to be part of the discussion to make sure their AI business remains protected and becomes cemented as one of the few solutions allowed to operate.


There is a research paper on this topic here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11023-023-09644-y


A/B testing without consent is unethical. This doesn’t fly in any scientific fields, yet the technology industry doesn’t think twice about experimenting on users without consent.


I think it is mainly happening because companies don’t want to pay for user research/studies and would rather try and make assumptions about how their software is used based on aggregate data collection.


I use DuckDuckGo’s email hiding service. I have had sites reject signing up with a @duck.com email address. So services will definitely move to block Apple’s new subdomain only for aliased email addresses.


So far all the European digital sovereignty talk doesn’t mention mobile operating systems which are 100% controlled by the US. EU identity, banking, and even the new Wero payment app only works on iOS and Android.


As a programmer, jobs that say no Gen AI mean we value quality and people having real skills and learning instead of shipping low quality code to production as fast as possible to make the business metrics look good.


They did out feature Chrome by keeping Manifest V2 support.


AI is a monument to capitalist’s arrogance 🤣
I hope it gets some more attention. I joined in a Half Life Deatmatch session. Probably had been 20 years since last playing it.
The main argument is due to copyright issues of LLM generated code. Github will happily remove repos which violated copyright laws or IP laws. It makes sense that Codeberg doesn’t want to host code which may be violating copyright law.
