This is an important and brave message from workers at Meta, where the CWU have members.
If the allegations are true that big tech firms have been suppressing the voice of @LulaOficial and ignoring extreme right-wing disinformation, everyone who believes in fair play should be seriously concerned.
American tech billionaires must not be allowed to interfere in democratic elections - the future of Brazil must be decided by the Brazilian people alone.
Meta employees denounce interference in Brazil elections.

What has the world come to!
A 3 day stockpile to prepare for war - then what!
Households have been warned to stockpile food and water in case of cyber attacks.
Wes Streeting, the Defence Secretary, launched a “national resilience conversation” on Thursday, asking Britons to prepare for disruption caused by natural disasters or cyber attacks by hostile states.

Lula’s spectacular victory in Brazil is likely, one way or another, to be explosive. We will watch, with bated breath.

I wouldn't trust Altman as far as I could throw him, however, on this, is he wrong?
🇺🇸 Sam Altman admits the latest AI models are becoming UNCONTROLLABLE:
"I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use.
The problem coming towards us is something that we have not taken seriously.
Models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff…
I no longer believe we can patch all of the bugs."

An inspirational performance by the legendary 'Banner Theatre' with 'A Just Transition' "Our voice is swelling as we're rebelling, and we need to start right now"
A stunning welcome by the equally legendary Kurdish Community Centre with a message of solidarity not to be missed.
As ever, brilliant solidarity reporting and filming for the ever present ' Reel News'. #FranceProtests

Bill Gates: AI will usher in one of the most turbulent eras in history.
“AI is both the most powerful tool for advancing equity and the greatest threat to equity humans have ever invented.”
“Many jobs will disappear. White-collar jobs first, with blue-collar ones to follow.”
“I worry that we aren’t preparing.”
“There’s no plan to ease the entry into the AI era, and not even a plan to have a plan.”
“The world has a chance to act now before unemployment rises sharply.”

It’s time we recognised that sexual harassment isn’t just an HR issue. It’s a workplace health and safety risk.
Workers deserve protection, not excuses.
Recognise the risk. Prevent the harm. Protect workers.

Time to #EndHomelessness
The annual national Museum of Homelessness Vigil, outside Downing Street, for the 1,720 people who sadly died while homeless was wonderfully respectful, emotional and well attended 🙏
Hells Bells - the problem with AI isn't the unscrupulous behavior of those in control - it's society, we the people, that can't, or won't change fast enough.
Listen to the end of the video:
"it's not a software problem ...it's a people problem".
サム・アルトマン「オレの予想、だいぶ間違ってたわ。AI開発しても全然、世の中変わらんし、100兆円の支払い義務になるわ、最近は、訴訟されまくりだし。正直、詰んだかもしれん」
「GPT-4を出せば一瞬で世界が激変すると思ってたが、完全に俺の間違いだった」――OpenAIトップが明かした「AIが社会を激変させられない最大の壁」
「『AIが今すぐすべての仕事を奪って世界を塗り替える!』と煽り散らかしてきた張本人が、まさかの白旗宣言」 OpenAIのボス、サム・アルトマンがポッドキャストで激白した、「テックオタクたちが思い知らされた冷酷な現実」がコレ👇
・「GPT-4が出れば、すぐにソフトウェア業界がひっくり返ると思ってた」 あれほどの破壊的な知能を世に放てば、瞬く間に古いビジネスモデルが崩壊し、新しい世界に置き換わるはずだと信じ込んでいた。だが現実は違った。アルトマン本人が「社会が変わるスピードの予測を完全に外していた」と素直に敗北宣言。
・社会と経済の「強烈すぎる慣性(惰性)」を舐めていた
どれだけ異次元のAIが登場しようが、世の中の人間は昨日と同じやり方で仕事を続け、いつもと同じ会社から物を買い続ける。人間社会は、技術オタクが思うほど身軽にも合理的にも動いてくれない。
・「人間の行動を変えること」は、AIを作るより100倍ムズい
「便利で凄いツールを作れば、みんなすぐに乗り換えるはずだ」――これこそがテックギーク(技術バカ)の最大の勘違い。染み付いた人間の習慣や古い組織のルールを変えさせるのは、途方もなく難易度が高い作業だった。
・技術は人類史上最強、でも「人間側」が追いつかない
AIそのものは人類が発明した中で最もヤバい技術であることに変わりはない。だが、それを受け止める社会や経済システムのアップデートには、想像以上に長い年月がかかる。
・要するに、「『超絶AIを作れば一瞬で世界がひっくり返る!』と息巻いていた仕掛け人本人が、どれだけスゴい技術を叩きつけても『昨日と同じやり方』をダラダラと選び続ける人間のしぶとい惰性に直面し、『技術の進化より、人間の行動パターンを変えさせる方が遥かに無理ゲーだったわ』と白目を剥いている」ということです。
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
「AI開発しても世の中変わらない」「100兆円の支払い義務」「訴訟されまくり」「正直、詰んだ」は投稿者の挿入や主観でありそんなことは言っていないことに注意が必要です。
実際には下記のような内容です。
・ソフトウェア業界の変革がもっと早いと思っていた
・いくつかの点で予測を間違ってたがその中の一つが変化の速度について
・これから経験する変革は予測より緩やかに進むことになるがそのことはありがたく思う
・AIはこれまでの技術の中で最も驚異的なものの一つだが社会や経済がそれに適応するにはもっと長い時間がかかる
