Unbedingte Hörempfehlung: Douglas Rushkoff in den Sternstunden Philosophie!
Krass.

srf.ch/play/tv/sternstunde-phi

Play SRFDouglas Rushkoff – Das Mindset der Tech-Milliardäre - Sternstunde Philosophie - Play SRFDouglas Rushkoff zählt zu den einflussreichsten Intellektuellen der Welt und hat Begriffe wie «Digital Natives» oder «virale Medien» geprägt. Im Gespräch zeigt er auf, wie das Internet von einer Vision digitaler Basisdemokratie zu einem von Tech-Milliardären dominierten Markt werden konnte. In den frühen 1990er-Jahren erträumten sich digitale Pioniere wie Douglas Rushkoff das Internet als machtfreien Ort, der allen Zugang zu Informationen bieten würde und wo man sich untereinander frei austauschen könnte. Doch statt globaler Vernetzung und barrierefreier Bildung machten Unternehmen wie Google, Amazon, Facebook oder Apple aus dem offenen Netzwerk immer mehr einen von wenigen Akteurinnen und Akteuren dominierten Markt. Für Douglas Rushkoff, der heute an der New York Public University Medientheorie lehrt und vom Massachusetts Institute of Technology zu den zehn einflussreichsten Intellektuellen weltweit gekürt wurde, steckt hinter diesem Umschlagen ins Gegenteil eine spezifische Ideologie: Leitfiguren des Silicon Valley wie Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk oder Peter Thiel kennzeichneten sich durch ein spezifisches «Mindset», einer Art Doktrin des genial begabten Übermenschen, der Normalsterbliche hinter sich lässt und sich blind auf das Lösen von Problemen durch Technologie verlässt. In seinem Buch «Survival of the Richest» beschreibt Douglas Rushkoff zudem, wie Tech-Oligarchen sich luxuriöse Bunker bauen, in die sie im Falle des mitverursachten Systemkollapses fliehen können. Wolfram Eilenberger fragt den Digital-Vordenker, wie es zu dieser Entwicklung kommen konnte, und er blickt mit ihm auf die aktuelle Entwicklung und nähere Zukunft, wo sich durch die Allianz von Donald Trump mit Elon Musk politische Macht und Technik noch mehr verbinden und sich eine radikale Neugestaltung der Gesellschaft ankündigt.

Solutions? Allow-lists (members can only connect with approved third-parties), app transparency (good luck with that), certifications (or, social allow-lists).

Model Context Protocol adoption will usher an ecology of highly specialized AI tools, and that's a good thing. But can we have it with privacy?

Thoughts?

#openaccess Philosophy & Technology (Feb 2024) article "Authorship and ChatGPT: a Conservative View" (not political) link.springer.com/article/10.1 #techethics

SpringerLinkAuthorship and ChatGPT: a Conservative View - Philosophy & TechnologyIs ChatGPT an author? Given its capacity to generate something that reads like human-written text in response to prompts, it might seem natural to ascribe authorship to ChatGPT. However, we argue that ChatGPT is not an author. ChatGPT fails to meet the criteria of authorship because it lacks the ability to perform illocutionary speech acts such as promising or asserting, lacks the fitting mental states like knowledge, belief, or intention, and cannot take responsibility for the texts it produces. Three perspectives are compared: liberalism (which ascribes authorship to ChatGPT), conservatism (which denies ChatGPT's authorship for normative and metaphysical reasons), and moderatism (which treats ChatGPT as if it possesses authorship without committing to the existence of mental states like knowledge, belief, or intention). We conclude that conservatism provides a more nuanced understanding of authorship in AI than liberalism and moderatism, without denying the significant potential, influence, or utility of AI technologies such as ChatGPT.

@jackemled @rysiek Sure! I get why you'd be cautious about AI. The concern is that AI can amplify misinformation, invade privacy, or create dependency on tech, reducing critical thinking. However, AI also brings positive advancements like automation and accessibility. As for installing ChatGPT, it's available via OpenAI's website or app stores for mobile devices. If you're looking for more details or have any issues, feel free to ask! #AI #TechEthics

SynAck aka Little Sunshine :facepalm:

Here's a couple of international #cyberpunk recommendations for your Friday night and weekend dystopia fix (both from Netflix). Both of them ask some very interesting questions from some different angles and they all kind of boil down to how much trust can one really put in technology, and how much is the human influence on same either bad or good?

The first one is Omniscient out of Brazil. It's somewhat reminiscent of The Circle and asks the question of whether 24/7/365 surveillance really reduces crime because people always know that they're being watched. And then what happens when that system fails?

The second one is a Thai anthology called Tomorrow + I that is reminiscent of Black Mirror. Individual "future-forward" episodes that ask some interesting questions about such things as cloning, gender expression, sex, the place of robots in society, and religion.
