The dispute — along w/ #inaction at the #FEC & #Congress — could leave #voters w/limited federal #protections against those who use #AI to #mislead the public or mask their #political msgs…. New #generativeAI technologies have already proved capable of creating uncannily realistic images.
“AI has the potential to be very influential in our #elections, & right now, there’s a total vacuum of #regulation on this issue,” said Ellen Weintraub, the Democratic vice chair of the FEC.
#Russia has only itself to blame for losses in Ukraine and attacks on infrastructure critical to the #war in Ukraine. blaming its problems on #NATO is of course a way to #mislead the citizens of Russia from getting ideas that the attacking #Ukraine in the first place is the problem https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/13/europe/russia-putin-nuclear-weapons-ukraine-intl-hnk/index.html

#UK Pulls Back From Clash With Big Tech Over Private Messaging -Slashdot
The UK government will concede it will not use controversial powers in the #onlinesafetybill to scan messaging apps for harmful content until it is "technically feasible" to do so, postponing measures that critics say threaten users' #privacy. Financial Times
#mislead
" Instead of warning the public or changing business models, the [#FossilFuel] companies operated decades-long #campaigns to #mislead people about the causes of science and #ClimateChange, the report said.
To see present-day iterations of these industry campaigns, #Canadians need only look around (if they can see through the smoke, that is). "

When #Durham came before the cmte, #House #Republicans eagerly picked over the scraps in his final report, which has been much criticized, & they treated him as a hero. But under questioning from Democratic & Republican members, Durham #misrepresented key aspects of the #Russia scandal, suggesting he was either unfamiliar w/basic facts or was purposefully trying to #mislead the cmte & the American public.

More horseshit pumped out to blunt the demand for transition off carbon fuel. This is a dishonest distraction.
They might get the price down to impossibly low, if you dont count all the other costs of using the system, plus ignored costs.
Costs like what do you do a trillion tons of CO2? Or a hundred trillion tons?
Removing just Canadas planned releases would cost several hundred $trillion under even this distraction.
Large Language Model #Overconfidence
"If they could moderate their degree of confidence appropriately, they would be less likely to #mislead.
For example, a model like Meta’s Atlas or DeepMind’s RETRO that synthesizes multiple articles into one answer might infer a degree of confidence based on the reputations of the sources it draws from and the agreement among them, and then change its communication style accordingly."
