Did Meta, “Call of Duty” and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense “groom” the shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas? Wrongful-death lawsuits brought by the victims’ families say yes. Read more from Tech Crunch: https://flip.it/QVEKdG

Medien im Fediverse

Auf der Suche nach einem Publi­kum gehen eini­ge Medi­en den Schritt ins Fedi­ver­se. Ein Ver­such, unab­hän­gi­ger von den gro­ßen Gate­kee­pern zu werden.

"Cox said that Emu can make “really amazing quality images” thanks to “Instagram being the data set that was used to train it” which he described as “one of the great repositories of incredible imagery.”"

This is a great reason for people to switch over to alternatives like #Pixelfed

"Families in Uvalde took more legal action Friday on the second anniversary of the Robb Elementary School attack, suing Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram..

"On Instagram, the shooter was being courted through explicit, aggressive marketing. In addition to hundreds of images depicting and venerating the thrill of combat, Daniel Defense used to extol the illegal, murderous use of its weapons"

Uvalde parents are suing gunmaker, Meta and ‘Call of Duty’ manufacturer

The lawyer who won a record-setting settlement for families announced
💪two new lawsuits Friday on behalf of
school shooting victims
targeting
⭐️the manufacturer of the AR-15 style weapon used in the attack,
⭐️as well as the publisher of “Call of Duty"
⭐️and social media giant Meta.

The lawsuits against
🔥, known for their high-end rifles,
🔥, the manufacturer of first-person shooter game “Call of Duty,” and
🔥, the parent company of Facebook,
may be the first of their kind to
👍connect aggressive firearms marketing tactics on social media and gaming platforms to the actions of a mass shooter.💪🏽

The complaints contend the three companies 💥are responsible for “grooming” a generation of “socially vulnerable” young men 💥radicalized to live out violent video game fantasies in the real world with easily accessible weapons of war.
One of those men, the legal team argues, was Robb Elementary shooter Salvador Ramos.

The lawsuits allege
👉 Meta and Activision "knowingly exposed the Shooter to the weapon, conditioned him to see it as the solution to his problems, and trained him to use it.”

Just read a engineer claiming on that Meta hasn’t implemented a specific feature due to "Meta’s strong commitment to privacy".

I laughed, to be honest.

Falls hier jemand auch ein Konto bei #Facebook oder #Instagram hat: Ab 26. Juni will Betreiberkonzern #Meta die Inhalte von Beiträgen fürs Training eigener KI einsetzen. Man kann widersprechen. Doch Meta entscheidet, ob es den Widerspruch annimmt.

Auf unserer Internetseite haben wir Infos dazu und Vorschläge für Argumente, die man ins "Einspruchformular" schreiben kann:

Arbeitet ihr gerne um sonst? Wenn nein, dann verlässt endlich mal die kommerziellen "Soziale" Medien! Zum wievilte mal wiederhole ich… ach ich gebe wohl die leichtgläubigen und naiven Ignoranten geistig auf.

»Meta AI – Alle geposteten Beiträge bei Facebook wandern in die KI:
Alle Beiträge, die Menschen bei Facebook posten, wandern in Meta AI - werden also für das KI-Training und KI-Dienste genutzt.«

@tazgetroete Ich stelle mal die These auf, dass es nicht die sozialen Medien per se sind, sondern der rechtliche Umgang mit ihnen in den einzelnen souveränen Staaten!

Es geht nicht an, dass weltweit agierende Netze derart extrem Meinungsmanipulation begehen, Hass und Hetze verbreiten können, gleichzeitig Milliarden verdienen und keinerlei Konsequenzen zu fürchten haben.

So #Meta is expanding their #AI features on #Facebook and I was presented with the following. It states I have a "right to object." The next sentence begins with "if your objection is honored...."

WTF? I have a right to object but they get to decide if they want to honor it? What kind of "right" is that? Did they mistype, "You have the slight possibility to object"

To really drive home the "fuck you" nature of this, I clicked on the "right to object" link.

"This form isn’t available."

Screenshot of the Facebook page received after I clicked the "Right to object" link. It reads: This form isn't available. This form is only available to people in certain regions who have an active Facebook account. Make sure you log into your Facebook account and then try again.

Meta’s artificial intelligence chief has said that the large language models powering generative AI products like ChatGPT will never reach human levels of intelligence, branding them “useful” but limited.

Speaking to the @FT, Yann LeCun said his team at Meta is working towards an entirely new generation of AI systems, that he hopes will create “superintelligence” in machines, capable of common sense and learning about the world in a similar way to humans. Here’s more.

I got a notification on that plans to use my posts etc. for training and said they were using the Legitimate Interest justification for doing it.

I sent in an objection stating that using data for training AI doesn't fall within the remit of what a user might reasonably expect the company to do with my data on the basis of the service being provided: https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimate-interest/

They have upheld my objection and will not use my data. So you can do it too!

Zalogowałem się na Facebooka i takie rzeczy.

Bez większych wyjaśnień, bez wytłumaczenia co tam się właściwie będzie działo. Podobnie jak Google - po prostu my ci to włączamy i możesz tylko zaakceptować lub możemy łaskawie rozpatrzyć.
Zerknąłem do formularza, tam takie kwiatki:
"Informacje, które udostępniasz w naszych produktach i usługach, mogą obejmować np.:
– Posty
– Zdjęcia i podpisy
– Wiadomości, które przesyłasz do SI"

Czyli SI będzie się uczyła na podstawie tego co piszesz i wrzucasz. To co tutaj umieszczasz już nie jest twoje, punkt drugi, również zdjęcia i naprawdę od dziś zacznę się dziwić ludziom obficie wrzucającym zdjęcia swoje jak i swoich dzieci tutaj.

W czasach gdy SI (AI) jest zamknięta, nikt, nawet jej właściciele, nie wiedzą jak w zasadzie działa, w czasach deepfake'ów, Meta (właściciel Facebooka) narzuca mi coś, tak jak wcześniej Microsoft i Google, czego łatwo albo wcale nie mogę odrzucić.

Dziwi mnie taka cisza, nie wierzę że wszyscy mają tak wywalone, naprawdę możliwość lajków, rolek, kilku wiadomości i podglądania innych ma takie znaczenie że chcemy być "biomasą"? .

I somehow doubt the request, hidden behind a separate form instead of settings, I made to object, will be honoured.

Ich habe das mit dem Live-Stream per #Meta-Glasses auf #Instagram von der #privacy-Konferenz übrigens ernst gemeint. 😎
Habe auch schon jemanden identifiziert, den ich gleich versuchen will, spontan zu interviewen: Erik Neuenschwander, Apples Director of User Privacy spricht gerade auf einem von Apple organisierten Panel über Privacy im Metaverse. Das passt doch perfekt. 😜
