In the last “Dangerous Mission” Tom Cruise tries to obtain the key that gives access to a digital artificial intelligence entity, which is acting out of control. So he even makes that incredible jump with the motorcycle and then lands, with a parachute, on a moving train. Unfortunately we will have to wait to find out if he succeeded, as the film will also have a sequel. The jump, as you obviously know, was real, but the film’s effects heavily incorporated advanced AI applications. And in a way, the film, as steeped as it is in the extreme hyperbole of fiction, sends a message from the future. Things can get out of hand. And it’s not necessary that an evil guy is behind it, as it happens in the movies, but the companies with the largest capitalization in the history of mankind.
The day before yesterday The G7 summit called on tech giants to adopt a voluntary code of ethics in the development of artificial intelligence systems. Of course, when you hear about volunteering and ethics, it is not a requirement, not even a recommendation. This is a request.
Today an international conference on artificial intelligence begins in London. Kamala will go, Ursula will be there, the UN secretary general will attend, Meloni will also participate. Until there. In all likelihood nothing significant will come of it, they will emphasize the need for regulatory rules. The representatives of the companies will say hello, say that they are working responsibly for the global interest, and then they will all go to tea together. Because, in reality, states want to do a lot, but can achieve little. And it is the first time in history that humanity is facing a pivotal transition, but states cannot gain meaningful control. There are seven or eight companies that are mapping our path to the 4th Industrial Revolution. And if governments ever decide to show their teeth, it will be too late. Because someone else will already rule.
This will be fine
Freelancers who declare incomes equal to the basic salary will pay half the filing fee. Okay, it’s funny now. And here there are two issues. On the one hand, the tax collection mechanism cannot arrest the plumber who will come to your house and offer you two different prices, with or without VAT. And on the other hand, freelancers represent such a large percentage of the electorate that no government will go into head-on conflict. Therefore, this will also be fine. Tax evasion will remain high, the canals will produce no brownie who will cry, the centers and tourist destinations will be fed with “black money” and in the Ministry of Finance they will be happy that VAT revenues are increasing.
In the red sun
Christos Spirtzis was, of course, joking when he declared that the emblem of the homogenized progressive space, with the merger of SYRIZA and PASOK, could be a red sun. Except these things don’t happen. First, because only the blessed Charles Bronson (“Duel in the Red Sun”) had a right to the red sun. Secondly, because the PASOK emblem is a sanctified brand and it is like asking Coca-Cola to change its logo. And thirdly, seriously, in PASOK there are, I suppose, no bona fide naive people to throw a life preserver. I addressed a PASOK official. He laughed. He told me unequivocally that there was no way they would enter the discussion with the possible exception of some strains that do not carry toxicity. Therefore, let Spirtzis, who is looking for a role, start the campaign for world peace and climate change, inviting Greta to cooperate.
