So I'm at a #university that claims that #AI must be integrated into *everything*.
It is literally mandatory.
Yet, the AI plans that they give us access to are toys. We just got access to Google's #NotebookLM and #Gemini but the level of access is the same as for non-paying users.
Which means you can ask it questions like some ancient Greek oracle, but can't use it for serious work or evaluate its quality.
So we've decided to train #dependence in our #students. smh
"Since legalization and commercialization, daily cannabis use has become a defining — and often invisible — part of many people’s lives. High-potency vapes and concentrates now dominate the market, and doctors say they can blur the line between relief and dependence over time so that users don’t notice the shift. Across the country, people who turned to cannabis for help are finding it harder to put down."

The Summit on European Digital Sovereignty was even more disappointing than I expected. It was more about #deregulation than getting rid of the #dependence on #BigTech.
There was a panel about “The Power of #DigitalCommons” but none of the projects that contribute to an #OpenDigitalInfrastructure was invited.
The @boeckler_de recently published a Working paper by René Lührsen, @heimstaedt and Thomas Gegenhuber analysing the work of the @sovtechfund
https://www.boeckler.de/de/faust-detail.htm?sync_id=HBS-009212
The paper analyses the already existing open digital infrastructure provided by a network of underfinanced #FreeSoftware companies and projects. And it decribes how the STA manages to support these projects that usually wouldn't have a chance to get public funding.
Just as public funding in gerneral this summit was tailor-made for big corporations.

Quote of the day, 4 November: Fr. Paul-Marie, ocd
Many and varied are the ways in which our saintly forefathers laid down how everyone, whatever his station or the kind of religious observance he has chosen, should live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ – how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of the Master.
Rule of St. Albert, 2
Henceforth, the Carmelite is not to look away from Christ; in dependence on him, the Carmelite intends to live. [Carmel’s spiritual ancestors] were searching for God and union with God.
Then came the Son of God, God himself. Turning towards him, Carmelites did no more than continue along the path that had always been theirs. In virtue of an essential and profound continuity, Carmel, which is biblical and remains biblical, becomes evangelical. In fact, born under the [spirit of the] Old Testament, formed by the divine Word, Carmel awaits its fulfillment.
With Elijah and the prophets, it watches for “him who is to come”; it can look at nothing else. It finds that, like the prophets, its natural study is to desire the coming of the Savior, to hasten his arrival.
Filled with the preparation that abounds in the Sacred Books, Carmel turns toward Christ with the certitude of finding in him all it seeks. It seeks God as an object of knowledge and love; where then could it better find and embrace him than in his Son, who was made flesh and given to us?
Carmel awaits the fulfillment of the divine Word. Now Saint John of the Cross tells us that “the Father spoke one Word, which was his Son” [Sayings of Light and Love, 100].
Carmel has received as a legacy the awareness of the greatness of God, of the “nothingness” of the creature, and of its divine vocation. How then could it not place all its hope in a Mediator and Savior, all its hope in Christ suffering and dying for us through love?
Father Paul-Marie of the Cross, O.C.D.
Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition, ch. III
Note: Paul-Marie of the Cross, OCD (1902–1975), was born Paul Hayaux du Tilly in Paris. Ordained a diocesan priest of Paris in 1933, he entered the Discalced Carmelites in 1941 and became director of the Petit Collège at Avon following the arrest of Père Jacques.

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.
'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

@ovid your example actually proves Clegg right.
#China thrives by stealing prior art — that’s not #resilience, that’s #dependence.
If #AI “needs” to train on artists’ work without consent, it’s the same story: built on what it can’t create.
It is finally time to completely free yourself from these Google products and go independent ways so that something like this cannot happen at all. So it takes alternative operating systems such as Linux for the cell phone.
Because this dependence on the large corporations does not lead to anything good who want to tear everything itself anyway and don't get enough of it.
We should all make ourselves free and independent of these large corporations, governments, secret services, organizations, etc. and also work together.

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
He who imagines he can do without the world, deceives himself much; but he who fancies the world cannot do without him, is still more mistaken.
[Celui qui croit pouvoir trouver en soi-même de quoi se passer de tout le monde se trompe fort; mais celui qui croit qu’on ne peut se passer de lui se trompe encore davantage.]
François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶201 (1665-1678) [pub. Donaldson (1783), ¶93]
