Industry acts to head off regulation on PFAS pollution from semiconductors
Producers of #PFAS chemicals and semiconductors, a key part of most electronics, have formed a group that develops
"industry-friendly science"
aimed at heading off regulation as the facilities release high levels of toxic waste, documents seen by the Guardian show.
The group, called the #PFAS #Consortium, was formed during a boom in domestic semiconductor production
spurred by the Chips and Science Act that has led to $825bn in investment aimed at shoring up the industry.
Left unchecked, however, the boom could also 🔥generate huge levels of toxic waste,🔥 experts fear.
The #semiconductor #industry is a prolific polluter and a major source of #unregulated and #unmonitored toxic PFAS, or “forever chemicals”, some of which also turn into potent greenhouse gas.
“Hardly anyone has been paying attention to the toxic waste from the industry as it grows at an enormous rate,” said Lenny Siegel, a member of
❇️"Chips Communities United", a group working with industry and administration officials to try to put in place environmental safeguards.
“Next time you do a Google search or chat, you’re using chips … that were produced in a way that released PFAS in an environment irreversibly.”

Fifty years ago, Watergate sparked a national reckoning with the corrosive role of #unregulated #money in our political system.
Another round of significant reforms is long overdue.
So what can be done?
The next Congress can start by passing the
"Freedom to Vote Act"
– a broad
💥democracy reform package that includes a variety of strong provisions to
rein in Super Pacs,
curb dark money
and strengthen enforcement.
Congress came within a few votes of passing this package in 2022.
Congressional leaders have affirmed they will make it a top priority in 2025.
They should renew that commitment at the first opportunity.
Over the longer term, it is also critical that governments at all levels explore
💥alternative ways to fund campaigns
– including through reviving and building on the long-term goal of effective #public #financing.
The new system that went into effect this cycle in New York state, for instance,
uses public funds to match small private contributions from candidates’ constituents
– making it possible for them to rely less on wealthy donors outside of their districts and states.
New York could be an excellent model for a revitalized federal public financing system.

#AI and the Evolution of #SocialMedia
There is a lot we can learn about social media’s #unregulated evolution over the past decade that directly applies to AI companies and technologies. These lessons can help us avoid making the same mistakes with AI that we did with social media.

2. #Surveillance
3. #Virality

The Gatekeepers with Jamie Bartlett (audio)
The Gatekeepers examines how social media evolved from the ecological Whole Earth Catalog which derived from the Whole Earth Truck, a kind of countercultural mobile shop, to the consumerist and often libertarian tool that it has become today, with power to casually elevate or ruin reputations.

The case for #unregulated AI:
1. #AI can be used for bad, like #surveillance.
2. But #regulation will not stop #criminals or #government using it for evil (NSA, drone #war, etc).
3. It is better for all to have this #tech than for only a few, as these few have incredible power. Bad uses can be countered by a user's adversarial AI. A stylometric tracker can be tricked by AI rewriters, for example.
4. Therefore, we should keep AI #OpenSource.

Opponents of T-Mobile's buyout of Sprint predicted these sorts of shenanigans. #FCC #wireless #shameful
