Palantir Tapped to Compile Americans' Personal Data (headline of NY Times)
"In March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power."
Working people of this country do not deserve to have their lives put into a digital dragnet to become playthings of the oligarchs.
Trump signed March EO calling for federal gov to share data across agencies.

"Chatbots were generally bad at declining to answer questions they couldn’t answer accurately, offering incorrect or speculative answers instead.
Premium chatbots provided more confidently incorrect answers than their free counterparts."
Sounds promising.

Open-source lets us see how predictive systems encode biased, categorical logics. While better than closed systems, open-source alone does not address the issues with the logics themselves #predictivepolicing #criticalai

And how open source is actually applied in practice. Many projects are open source in name only, not vetted through community practices.

Replicative AI is a more apt description of “generative AI.” The language matters.
