In concreto, cosa suggerisci?
Dico la mia, pur non chiamato in causa.Mi sembra un tempismo perfetto per, ad esempio, stilare un sintetico "manifesto" (1 x A4) che NEXA (il Centro NEXA), supportato dai membri della sua community (chi, in questa lista, vuole metterci nome e cognome), indirizza principalmente a tutti gli Enti di Ricerca (in primis, Atenei [....perché hanno 'studenti'; non per altro]) proponendo loro, sulla falsariga di quanto fatto altrove, in Europa, di abbandonare i social USA + tirare su istanze mastodon dedicate (vedi esperienza di SURF, in Olanda), offrendosi di supportate l'installazione dei software (attraverso tool di automazione open-source e ultra-collaudati) e, in subordine, di supportare i tecnici periferici nel setup materiale.
Chiaramente Nexa dovrebbe eliminare i propri account e... far partire un'istanza mastodon....preliminarmente... altrimenti la cosa non ha molto senso (tendenzialmente, qui, siamo fra persone serie e coerenti. Quindi, predicare bene e razzolare male, non è una opzione).
Vantaggi: ne vedo tantissimi. Rischi: praticamente nessuno. Se tutto va bene: abbiamo fatto goal.Se tutto va male... abbiamo buttato un po' di tempo, senza conseguenze (e comunque, un epsilon del tempo passato a processare la lista...)
Follia? Saluti, DV

E' vero, sognare è lecito e comprensibile. Ma in realtà bisogna invece semplicemente prepararsi al peggio, cercando di prevederlo per limitare i danni. Altrimenti significa delirio di onnipotenza....

Immaginiamo che spendano tutti i dollari del mondo in un datacenter grosso come la Groenlandia (dopo l'annessione). Alla fine cosa otterranno? I limiti della ragione, umana o automatica che sia, sono invalicabili tanto quanto quelli fisici. L'umanità consiste proprio nello stare dentro questi limiti, ed anche l'AI è utile finché li rispetta. Questo è il momento buono per mandare gli yankee pazzi a quel paese. Certo, ci vorrà qualcosa di più di quel ditino alzato che si chiama AI Act. Ci vorrà un modello di sviluppo europeo ben supportato da politiche e investimenti. Buona giornata, G.

A boom in data center construction is straining the power grid in states across the United States as companies including Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta have spent billions of dollars on new facilities. But AI leaders such as Altman say many more of the facilities must be built for AI technology to keep advancing. > > “I think this will be the most important project of this era,” Altman said at the White House on Tuesday. “We wouldn’t be able to do this without you, Mr. President,” he said, turning to Trump. Son said that SoftBank decided to move ahead with the Stargate project because of Trump’s election victory. > > The $500 billion doesn’t include money from the federal government, according to a person familiar with the project who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe plans that haven’t been made public. In addition to the companies creating Stargate, Dubai investment firm MGX, an investor in OpenAI, will contribute funding to the project.

Months before the election, Trump allies were already drafting an executive order of their own that would review “unnecessary” regulations and launch “Manhattan Projects” to develop military technology. > > Despite Trump’s more industry-friendly approach to AI, his emerging policy is not a complete reversal of his predecessor’s. Biden in the final days of his administration directed federal agencies to speed up the development of AI data center projects on federal land. > > Trump said on Tuesday that he supported that policy. “That sounds to me like it’s something that I would like. I’d like to see federal lands opened up for data centers. I think they’re going to be very important,” he said. > > Netchoice, a lobbying group with members including Google, Meta and Amazon, welcomed Trump repeal of the Biden-era AI rules. “His orders rolling back regulations on U.S. energy production and ending Biden’s artificial intelligence (AI) red tape wishlist are critical for America’s global leadership in technological development,” Netchoice said in a post on X. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. > > Proponents of AI regulation have argued that it is needed not only to ward off potential harms from the technology but also to support its economic development and adoption by providing people with confidence that AI is safe to use. > > “A politically-motivated repeal with no thoughtful replacement is self-defeating for our country and dangerous for our people and the world,” Alondra Nelson, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, who also worked on technology policy in the Biden administration, said in a statement. “This will leave the American public unprotected from the risks and harms of AI and, therefore, unable to take up the benefits it might bring.” > > Deborah Raji, a Mozilla fellow and AI researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, said that the repeal of Biden’s executive order, in combination with the Supreme Court curbing federal agencies’ power to set and institute regulations last year and Trump’s ambitions to empower business leaders, create a “Wild West era” for AI products. “They’re going to be empowered to build models and throw them everywhere, without a lot of regard to safety,” she said. > > AI companies have been spending huge amounts of money buying computer chips and building new data centers to house them. The surge in data center construction has also pushed up estimates for how much electricity the U.S. will need to generate to power them, leading to some coal power plants that had been slated to be closed to be kept online.--Marco A.
