Yeah, it's interesting. 2 questions came to my mind: 1) Where is 
Mozilla? Are they a part of it? And 2) "open" is not a simple concept. 
Is it possible that so many organizations have a clear understanding 
of what it means? If so, what do they mean? We've seen, over and over 
again, a kind of exploitation of Utopian values, especially in 
infrastructure-level software. (I'd love to get Stallman's opinion.)


One way to clarify someone's position on their private conception of 
"open" is to ask how they feel about limits to the exportation of 
encryption software. 
<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/us-export-controls-and-published-encryption-source-code-explained>


Another tack is to ask how they feel about fake news, trust in 
institutions, free speech, platforming, etc.


IDK. The AI Alliance smells, to me, kinda like more TESCREAL [1], ripe 
for exploitation and *-washing [2] by the privileged. If a tech is 
open and stays open, it'll most likely do so because individuals 
commit to it, not because some meta-corp of mega-corps get together as 
"allies". But I'm a bit cynical.


[1] Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singulatarianism, Cosmism, 
Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism
[2] Green-washing (fossil fuel lobbyists at cop28), ethics-washing 
("ai safety"), dei-washing (sensitivity training), etc.

Background
OpenAI is actually two companies. The original not for profit
parent company and the for profit subsidiary.
The parent, not for profit, appoints the board of the for
profit subsidiary and does not have a fudiciary obligation
towards the financial well-being of the company, only towards
humanity; to ensure that AI is developed for the good of humanity.
On Friday the board fired the CEO, Sam Altman, without giving
reasons.
Since then Sam got an offer from Microsoft to join them and
start a new AI Microsoft subsidiary. Sam is reluctant to take
it, he seems to think that will kill OpenAi.
95 percent of OpenAI employees signed a letter that if Sam
goes to Microsoft they will join him. Microsoft said they will
accomdate them.
Now we are waiting - will OpenAI take Sam back? Will Sam and
95 percent of OpenAI's employees join MS?
Or is there something else going to happen?
A Netflix movie couldn't have more drama and suspens.

Rumors I have read:

1) Sam Altman was looking for money from sovereign wealth
fund from Saudi Arabia to fund an NVIDIA competitor.   And
this was one example of him working side gigs not related
to the Open AI mission.

2) That the energy demands of LLMs on Azure are just too
expensive, and the money lost per query is becoming too
expensive, even for Microsoft’s hosting of OpenAI.

3) That there was a breakthrough in artificial general
intelligence and Sam Altman wouldn’t press the brakes.

I have created and run a simple agent-based model for democratic

https://nbviewer.org/github/JochenFromm/JupyterNotebooks/blob/master/ModelingDemocraticBackslidingABM.ipynb

It is in fact in agreement with the theory mentioned earlier (the 
replicator equation for the coordination game described here)

https://nbviewer.org/github/JochenFromm/JupyterNotebooks/blob/master/ModelingDemocraticBacksliding.ipynb

It is just a simple model, but I believe it can help to explain why 
people in authoritarian states like Russia or Belarus do not overthrow 
their authoritarian government. If they protest, they are imprisoned 
and vanish. If the momentum is big enough, the situation can be 
different, though.


The same dynamics can be found in the opposite direction: criminals 
and con men usually do not try to change the existing political order. 
If they do, they are imprisoned and disappear behind bars. If the 
crisis is big enough, then sometimes they really succeed in turning a 
democracy into an authoritarian regime.


What do you think, does it make sense for you?

Re: [FRIAM] a model of mine about virus diffusion

[Pietro Terna]

    Dear Glen,

    the model, on the right, has a window with a script.

    Ex. if we add there (in any position, the decode step in setup 
makes the sort of all the rows):


75 lock 0

     at tick 75 the lockdown stops.

    Best, Pietro

ps I guess that 6.0.1 is OK for the model

Very cool, Pietro! I used the HardFinishLockdown button and saw a nice uptick. 
Maybe I missed it, but it would be nice to have a parameter to stop the 
lockdown similar to the one for starting the lockdown, so I wouldn't have to 
babysit it and hit the button. 8^)

(Also, I used Netlogo 6.0.1 so it's not clear it's working as it would if I 
used a newer one. I just don't use it enough to keep it updated.)

[FRIAM] Fwd: [SIMSOC] Urgent call for modellers to support epidemic modelling

[Pietro Terna]

    Best wishes from Italy, Pietro


 Messaggio Inoltrato 
Oggetto:[SIMSOC] Urgent call for modellers to support epidemic modelling
Data:   Sat, 28 Mar 2020 19:14:53 +
Mittente:   Nigel Gilbert <19c353fb89ba-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk>
Rispondi-a: Nigel Gilbert 
A:  sim...@jiscmail.ac.uk



The Royal Society is coordinating a call for Rapid Assistance in 
Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP).


This urgent call to action is addressed to the scientific modelling 
community, and is a scheme to allow those with modelling skills 
(including data science) to contribute to current UK efforts in 
modelling the COVID-19 pandemic.


A willingness to work on specified tasks, and to deadlines, is needed. 
However, no previous experience in epidemic modelling, as such, is 
required of RAMP participants.


Full details of the scheme, with an online form to volunteer on behalf 
of your research group can be found here:


https://epcced.github.io/ramp/ 



If this link delivers an error message, please try pasting it directly 
into your browser or alternatively try:


http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/softmatter/research 




Please draw this scheme to the attention of colleagues who may be 
interested.


The online survey form should be filled out as soon as practicable and, 
if at all possible, by 5pm on Thursday 2 April. The survey form will 
cease to operate completely a day or two after that.



Note that RAMP does not address molecular modelling of the virus itself 
or of new antivirals, vaccines, etc. These avenues are already the 
subject of various efforts and initiatives internationally, such as 
http://www.hecbiosim.ac.uk/covid-19

Re: [FRIAM] Fwd: Archangel Michael's Message For You

[Pietro Terna]

    Dear all,

    a message from a silent Italian friend (I'm a subscriber having 
been several

times in Santa Fe for the SwarmFest and other meetings).

    What is very interesting for me is that the "Archangel Michael's 
Message For You"
text reproduces a quite archaic format used in Italy, but I guess not 
only, for

handwritten messages diffused by old mail.
     E.g. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catena_di_sant%27Antonio

    The format always quotes one or more relatives or fiends by name 
etc. having received

benefits and requires prayers etc.

    Very interesting this form of modern survival.

    Best, Pietro

He’s about to teach you a mysterious prayer that drops you into the

Michael. Through his divine intervention Amanda successfully restored
her marriage, reclaimed her joy and even won the lottery.

Barbara L. Martin


P.S. You want to know something that will blow your mind and open
your heart? Archangel Michael is the guardian angel that fights for you.
If you are struggling with any form of conflict -- big or small -- then saying 
this 4-sentence prayer holds the key to your victory.


Heaven is smiling over you and cheering you on to win your breakthrough.

Re: [FRIAM] Fwd: Grad Students Would Be Hit By Massive Tax Hike Under House GOP Plan : NPR

[Pietro Terna]

    http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1985

    Best, Pietro (Italian silent friend)

Il 21/11/17 13:38, Eric Smith ha scritto:

Piece in NPR that somebody else forwarded to me:


https://www.npr.org/2017/11/14/563879136/house-gop-tax-plan-would-hit-grad-students-with-massive-tax-hike


I have to wonder, contra my own screed a couple of days ago (which on 
one hand I still believe), whether this was put into the house bill as 
a poison pill to help mobilize a sector of resistance.  The NPR 
article says that 145.000 people received tuition waivers in 2011-2012 
(I don’t know if that means, in aggregate, or per year).  TImes 
50k/year times 15%, that would be a billion dollars.  If it were 25%, 
that would be larger, but not everybody’s tuition waiver is an MIT 
50k.  Against deficit changes on the order of trillions, I’m not sure 
that number is large enough to even make a difference in procedural 
rules for passage of any final 2-house bill.  That’s not to mention 
that, since most grad students couldn’t pay the extra tax at all, they 
would drop out and only a part of the accounted amount would ever be 
collected.


In poking a beehive of higher education (sadly, too low-budget to 
qualify as a hornet’s nest), though, they would be sure to provoke a 
set of people who have a certain amount of discretionary time and 
enough of a habit of organizing to be willing to put some of that time 
into communication.  Many of them can also spell, more or less, and 
compose a grammatical sentence. If it were mainly about the money, 
surely the house could have found some other group to steal a billion 
dollars from who are too overworked, underpaid, and isolated to have 
time or community structure to organize against them.


I wonder if the relevant committees, too cowardly to fight t in the 
open, are looking for small proxy wars that would absolve them of the 
responsibility for being associated with a tax plan even they don’t 
think they could get away with indefinitely through the next several 
election cycles.  After all, they are mean, and in many fundamental 
things profoundly stupid, but in terms of infighting tactics and 
evading responsibility they are quite sophisticated.


I guess that question turns on whether the elimintation of this one 
item would have any significant effect on the form or passage of the 
rest of the package.


Shame I have no professional knowledge in this sphere.  I don’t even 
know enough about the ones drafting the bill to have a sense of 
whether meanness, or cowardly shrewdness, are more plausible motives 
for their choices.


Eric

It would be really great to have a meeting of us all! And if we could 
pull Ed Angel in, we could include what impact MOOCs are having on 
ABM, Complex Systems, Urban studies, and universities hosting MOOCs. 
Now that would be very interesting indeed!

Dear Owen,

I know agentscript.org, very very nice.

Next time you'll in Italy we have to find the way to meet.

I'll follow the mooc.

3D! We have all to think about.

Best, Pietro

Re: [FRIAM] [WedTech] BitCoin

[Pietro Terna]

At http://coinmill.com/BTC_calculator.html#BTC=100 you have the 
values of 100 BC in ...any money.


We are currently in a bubble, see the graphic (euros for 100 BC).

Just listened to an NPR discussion of bitcoin.  Fascinating!  Good
for bad-guys, and good-guys.

 See Comment two paragraphs below.

The Silk Road market where you can buy all sorts of illegal things.

And some legal things. What amuses me about the Silk Road is the 
nicknames of the once and present kings (so to speak) of the site, the 
Dread Pirates Robert, being of course a reference to the Princess 
Bride and anticipating the capture of one and rise of the other in the 
tradition of the first, if that sentence is parsable..


BC is illusive. Like another "bit", bit torrent, it's so
distributed and p2p that its hard to get your brain around it.

 An undercorrected mistake: Illusive = an illusion. Elusive = it 
eludes one. But I agree, and the inherent complexity of the underlying 
cryptography makes it hard to talk about in sound-bite format - just 
in recent coverage, I have heard so many misconceptions about the 
computer science and politics involved with Bitcoin. Hopefully the 
cryptographers should be out in force with their diagrams. The best 
/introduction/ to Bitcoin is a New Yorker article from a couple years 
ago, let me find it. [HERE 
] Doubtless 
not without imprecisions itself, but not so fearmongering.


Even the Fed Reserve admires it and is interested in its future.

 Still wondering what is going to happen to the millions of bitcoin 
seized from the first Silk Road. Dump it on the market all at once to 
drive the price down? Withhold it forever?


And in terms of legality, it an offense to steal it and a guy is
being tried for a ponzi scheme involving BC.

 I have heard some of those that tend towards suspicion claim that 
Bitcoin /is/ a Ponzi scheme. Their theory relies on Satoshi Nakamura 
owning a lot of Bitcoins currently. Which brings up the interesting 
question if we could guess which interactions are his based on inference.


And its trading very high against the dollar. Has anyone gotten
involved? Got a bitcoin?

A friend gave me about 3?B? if I remember correctly. I got tired of 
keeping the needy blockchain on my computer, so I sent most of those 
microcoins to an address with Electrum .


And on the New Mexico GNU/Linux User Group mailing list today (anyone 
else subscribed?) someone posted about their project 
https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/.

Re: [FRIAM] Quantitative economics and Python

[Pietro Terna]

Dear Owen,

thanks for the news, happy to read you.

Yes, I'm always in Torino and writing models, mainly using Python.

I'd a look to AgentScript and I'll study it carefully; I highly 
appreciate the minimalist approach.


Best, friendly, Pietro

Nice to hear from you.  We're starting to write models in a 
JavaScript/CoffeeScript framework that is as close to NetLogo as 
reasonable.  We'll announce our first "version 1.0" on the list after 
it completes its first "for pay" project .. hopefully reasonably soon! 
 Or just go to github and look for AgentScript.

[FRIAM] Amazon Mechanical Turk

[Pietro Terna]

   Hi all,

   I'm looking for people having some knowledge about the use of the 
Amazon Mechanical Turk system ( https://www.mturk.com ) as a source of 
data to build agent-based simulation models.


   The idea is making some economic experiment there and then move to 
simulation.


   Any hint is welcome,

   best wishes from an Italian friend,

   Pietro

Re: [FRIAM] Cloud computing (russell standish)

[Pietro Terna]

   This is my first intevention in this list; I enjoy very much reading 
it (I was at the Santa Fe Complex in July, hi Stephen ...).


   My point of view is that what we need is also a good grid services: 
I've now a model which requires two hours to run on a standard quite 
fast pc; for each experiment I need to run it upon 18 different sets of 
parameters and our local voluntary grid ( 
http://ramses.di.unipmn.it:8080/status/WebStatusServlet ) solves very 
well the problem.


   Best, Pietro Terna
