I have concerns about the scalability of the @sovtechfund approach, but while I'm privately concerned about STF, and other governments are loudly concerned about security, the Germans are Getting Stuff Done, or at least ported to Rust: 🤔https://floss.social/@centricular/111782862734264470

@luis_in_brief @bert_hubert @sovtechfund I think we need many STFs, or better yet an EU-wide bundling of resources to come close to meeting the need for continuous investment and maintenance. Truly conceiving of open source infrastructure as a public service, essentially. The STF was born of the Trump administration’s threat to the OTF and the realization that we should not rely on only one government to do this work. Hopefully others will take note.

It's that time of year, the application deadline for fellowships at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society @bkc ends on Monday. I look back fondly on my fellowship year at the center and encourage anyone in the digital rights space to check it out: https://cyber.harvard.edu/story/2023-11/apply-bkcs-2024-2025-fellowship-program

#Jugendschutzfilter blockiert wichtige Hilfsangebote zu Verhütung und Coming Out, wie diese Recherche von @netzpolitik_feed und Bayrischem Rundfunk zeigt. Vor genau dieser Art von Eingriffen in die Informationsfreiheit besonders vulnerabler Gruppen warnt die Zivilgesellschaft seit Jahren. https://netzpolitik.org/2024/verhuetung-erst-ab-18-deutschlands-wichtigster-jugendschutz-filter-blockiert-hilfsangebote/

Interested in #contentmoderation? The EU is inviting researchers to develop tools to make use of #platform #transparency data under the #DSA: https://hackathon.peren.fr/ (can't link directly to the English version for some reason, switch to English in top right corner in desktop view)

This research highlights a ton of issues with poorly controlled training datasets, and how little care has gone into cleaning them up before public release: https://www.404media.co/laion-datasets-removed-stanford-csam-child-abuse/

The more-or-less final compromise on the EU #AIAct is surprisingly sensible when it comes to #copyright questions. It mainly serves to strengthen the existing opt-out regime for use of copyrighted works as training data from the 2019 copyright directive: https://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2023/12/11/a-first-look-at-the-copyright-relevant-parts-in-the-final-ai-act-compromise/

Great article by @paulk on why the debate involving generative training data would greatly benefit from a common standard for machine-readable opt-outs - regardless of whether the AI Act gets adopted before the EU elections: https://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2023/11/23/generative-ai-and-copyright-convergence-of-opt-outs/

Unterwegs zur Kundgebung für ein echtes #Selbstbestimmungsgesetz vor dem Bundestag, der heute dazu verhandelt. Aus Angst vor dem rechten Backlash hat die Bundesregierung den Entwurf so weit verschlimmbessert, dass er trans Personen unter Generalverdacht stellt, besonders vulnerable Gruppen ausschließt oder gar gefährdet. Für inter Personen erschwert er die Namens- und Personenstandsänderung sogar. 👉 https://chaos.social/@Freiheitsrechte/111413628382201075

AI is giving #OpenSource a bad name, with the tired old arguments of security through obscurity. Just because open source alone does not guarantee the responsible development and deployment of an AI model, that doesn’t make it any less essential. The best guardrails will ultimately not stop a proprietary model from regurgitating the problematic inputs it was trained on, and intransparency over this process only seeks to obscure the problem. Open letter: https://open.mozilla.org/letter/

Es erstaunt mich, wie sehr in der Debatte um KI-Regulierung wieder auf Security Through Obscurity gesetzt wird. Klar, ein Modell ist nicht allein dadurch sicher, dass es #OpenSource ist, aber Intransparenz wird es auch nicht nachhaltig daran hindern, die problematischen Inhalte auszuspucken, mit denen es trainiert wurde. Vertrauen in proprietäre Lösungen hat uns noch nie unabhängig gemacht. Offener Brief: https://open.mozilla.org/letter/

🤣 The special Brussels-Strasbourg European Parliament train was routed incorrectly this morning and ended up in Marne-la-Vallée (Disneyland) rather than on the line to Strasbourg.

The cynic might say some MEPs did not notice the difference!

Oh, and seriously: abolish the travelling circus!

I’m always baffled by the suggestion that an #LLM could write my articles for me. That only works if plenty of people have written a very similar article already, which begs the question why I should write it in the first place.
