    1. If a similar situation arose today, watchdog media reporters may struggle to track older versions of Times articles in the same way.

      这一陈述令人警醒地指出了Wayback Machine功能退化对媒体监督机制的潜在破坏。当历史记录变得不可靠时,权力问责的基础就会动摇。这不仅关乎新闻自由,更触及数字民主的核心——公众监督能力,暗示了技术限制如何可能无意中削弱社会制衡机制。

    1. Several family members of children that died by suicide after allegedly developing unhealthy relationships with ChatGPT have sued OpenAI in the last year

      这一事实揭示了AI技术对个人造成的真实伤害,与文章讨论的大规模灾难形成鲜明对比。它表明AI安全风险不仅存在于宏观层面,也渗透到个人心理健康等微观领域,责任问题同样迫切。然而,拟议的法案似乎更关注大规模事件,忽视了这些个体悲剧。

    1. Humans can be motivated by consequences and provide social redress in a way that LLMs can't.

      这一洞察揭示了AI系统与人类在社会结构中的根本区别。'肉盾'角色的存在反映了法律责任和道德问责无法完全被技术替代的现实。这暗示了未来社会可能需要重新设计组织结构,以确保在AI系统日益普及的情况下,仍然保持适当的人类监督和道德责任分配。

    2. When models go wrong, we will want to know why. What led the drone to abandon its intended target and detonate in a field hospital? Why is the healthcare model less likely to accurately diagnose Black people?

      这些关于AI系统失败场景的提问揭示了未来社会面临的核心挑战。随着AI系统被部署在更关键领域,我们需要建立新的问责机制和解释框架。'内脏占卜师'这一职业概念的提出,暗示了我们需要发展全新的方法论来理解和解释复杂系统的行为,这可能会催生新的跨学科研究领域。

    3. Humans can be motivated by consequences and provide social redress in a way that LLMs can't.

      令人惊讶的是:人类在AI系统中的核心价值竟然是'可被问责'。文章揭示了一个令人不安的事实:AI系统无法承担法律责任或提供社会补偿,这解释了为什么企业仍需要人类员工作为'肉盾'来面对法律系统和公众舆论。

    1. But those raising hue and cry about the government's unsurprising attempt to wield a technology for military purposes that all parties agree will define humanity's fate must at least attempt to justify why they believe someone else deserves that power.

      这句话挑战了批评政府军事化AI技术的声音,要求他们提出替代方案。作者暗示在AI可能决定人类命运的情况下,简单地反对政府控制而不提供替代方案是不负责任的,反映了技术治理中的实用主义立场。

    1. design the environment well, you let the agent run, and you own what it produces.

      作者对Agent问责制的重塑极具启发:从微观的步骤审批转向宏观的环境设计。人类不对Agent的每一步负责,而是对塑造Agent行为的“场域”负责。这是一种管理思维的升维,把焦点从控制动作转移到了设计系统。

    2. An agent cannot be held accountable. I think about this principle most. The instinct to put a human in the loop is understandable, but taken literally, it can mean a person approving every step before anything moves forward. The human becomes a bottleneck, rubber-stamping work rather than directing it, and you lose much of what makes agents valuable in the first place.

      大多数人认为在AI系统中加入人类审批环节是确保问责制的必要措施,但作者认为这会使人类成为瓶颈,削弱代理的价值。这一观点挑战了AI安全与问责的主流思维,提出了一个非传统的责任分配模式。

    1. Who is the AI innovation economy for?

      La implementación de la Inteligencia Artificial en procesos públicos y privados tiene el potencial de amplificar o mitigar estas desigualdades:

      Inclusión en el diseño de Inteligencia Artificial ya que las comunidades marginadas deben participar activamente en la creación de datasets y sistemas de IA que respeten su identidad, necesidades y derechos.

      Fomento de la equidad porque la contratación pública puede usarse como herramienta para corregir desigualdades estructurales, exigiendo la participación de empresas que prioricen la diversidad y la justicia social en sus procesos tecnológicos.

      La riqueza lingüística de Colombia, que incluye lenguas indígenas y criollas, es un recurso invaluable que debe ser integrado en el desarrollo de IA:

      Crear bases de datos que incluyan lenguas como el wayuunaiki o nasa yuwe puede garantizar que las tecnologías no excluyan a comunidades no hispanohablantes.

      La traducción y localización de los procesos de contratación y regulación de Inteligencia Artificial permitirán a más sectores de la población comprender y participar en estos procesos.

      La contratación pública es una herramienta poderosa para modelar la economía de la innovación y promover la responsabilidad en el desarrollo de Inteligencia Artificial.

      Transparencia y rendición de cuentas

      La falta de transparencia en la contratación de la Inteligencia Artificial puede perpetuar desigualdades. Colombia puede adoptar medidas como:

      Creación de registros algorítmicos: Similar a las iniciativas de Ámsterdam y Helsinki, registrar y publicar información sobre los algoritmos usados en servicios públicos.

      Publicación de contratos de la Inteligencia Artificial: Hacer accesibles al público detalles clave de los contratos gubernamentales, como los estándares éticos que las empresas deben cumplir.

      Auditorías independientes: Garantizar que las tecnologías contratadas respeten los derechos humanos y eviten impactos negativos en poblaciones vulnerables.

      Inclusión y diversidad en la contratación pública

      Requisitos de diversidad: Exigir que las empresas contratadas para desarrollar una Inteligencia Artificial demuestren compromiso con principios de equidad, diversidad e inclusión.

      Incentivos a comunidades subrepresentadas: Promover la participación de pequeñas empresas lideradas por mujeres, indígenas o afrodescendientes en licitaciones tecnológicas.

      Regulación ética en el desarrollo de IA

      Estándares obligatorios de ética: Implementar marcos legales para regular las prácticas éticas de las empresas proveedoras de IA, como un estándar colombiano de impacto algorítmico (similar al AIA en Canadá).

      Cooperación internacional: Participar en iniciativas globales como GPAI para fomentar la responsabilidad en el desarrollo y despliegue de IA, asegurando que las empresas cumplan estándares internacionales.

      Principios feministas y justicia social en la Inteligencia Artificial colombiana

      La integración de principios feministas en la contratación y desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial puede garantizar que las tecnologías beneficien a todos los sectores de la población:

      Contratación equitativa: Diseñar sistemas de e-procurement que prioricen la contratación de empresas lideradas por mujeres y otras minorías históricamente excluidas.

      Reparación histórica: Usar la contratación pública para corregir desigualdades estructurales, asignando recursos a proyectos que beneficien a comunidades marginadas.

    1. The act of making your log-file public requires a rigor that keeping personal notes does not. Writing for a notional audience — particularly an audience of strangers — demands a comprehensive account that I rarely muster when I’m taking notes for myself. I am much better at kidding myself my ability to interpret my notes at a later date than I am at convincing myself that anyone else will be able to make heads or tails of them. Writing for an audience keeps me honest.

      • for: carbon inequality, question - new COP - focused on elites?

      • comment

        • while COP28 fights over which nations bear what responsibility, from this perspective, there is an entirely different class of people that must be held responsible, not at the nation state level, but at the individual level. Why isn't there a COP where the elites are held responsible?
      • question

        • Are we making a grave category error in holding the wrong class of people responsible? Should questions of carbon equity concern both high polluting nations AND individuals?
        • At the very least, should we formally recognize a parallel set of responsibilities and elevate that recognition to the level of COP conventions to deal with the problem?

    1. Annotation 2:

      Based on the downtown parking lot that has experienced an increase in car breaks, I would include community stakeholders when identifying the problems and or solutions. Often times, based on experience when car theft is happening where parking lots or car dealerships it’s an inside job so when you hold stakeholders accountable it requires them getting involved and being responsible for the customers who experience auto theft.

      The stakeholders include groups of violent crimes, elected officials who service the community where the crime is happening and the business itself. Why? because for one example, if you include city officials, they have funding to help get security, cameras and support to protect community members.

      What I learned from one of the readings is that community oriented policing is important. According to the Literature Review- A product of the Model Programs Guide stats that “COP is a redefinition of the relationship between the police and the community, so that the two collaborate to identify and solve community problems.”

      • Title: Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deaths

      • Author:

        • David Arkush
        • Donald Braman
      • Abstract

      • Paraphrase
        • Prosecutors regularly bring homicide charges against individuals and corporations
          • whose reckless or negligent acts or omissions
          • cause unintentional deaths,
          • as well as those whose misdemeanors or felonies cause unintentional deaths.
        • Fossil fuel companies learned decades ago that
          • what they
            • produced,
            • marketed, and
            • sold
          • would generate “globally catastrophic” climate change.
        • Rather than alert the public and curtail their operations,
          • they worked to
            • deceive the public about these harms and
            • to prevent regulation of their lethal conduct.
        • They funded efforts to
          • call sound science into doubt and
          • to confuse their
            • shareholders,
            • consumers, and
            • regulators.
          • poured money into political campaigns to elect or install
            • judges,
            • legislators, and
            • executive officials hostile to any
              • litigation,
              • regulation, or
              • competition
            • that might limit their profits.
        • Today, the climate change that they forecast
          • has already killed thousands of people in the United States,
          • and it is expected to become increasingly lethal for the foreseeable future.
        • Given the
          • extreme lethality of the conduct and
          • the awareness of the catastrophic risk
            • on the part of fossil fuel companies,
            • should they be charged with homicide?
        • Could they be convicted?
        • In answering these questions,
          • this Article makes several contributions to
            • our understanding of criminal law and
            • the role it could play in combating crimes committed at a massive scale.
        • It describes
          • the doctrinal and
          • social predicates of homicide prosecutions
        • where corporate conduct endangers much or all of the public.
        • It also identifies important advantages of
          • homicide prosecutions
          • relative to
            • civil and
            • regulatory remedies,
          • and it details
            • how and
            • why
          • prosecution for homicide may be the most effective legal remedy available in cases like this.
        • Finally, it argues that,
          • if our criminal legal system cannot focus more intently on climate crimes soon
          • we may leave future generations with significantly less for the law to protect.

    1. Okay, so what’s the blockchain? It’s a database. Unlike most databases, it’s not controlled by one entity and it’s not easily rewritten. Instead, it’s a ledger, a permanent, examinable, public database. One can use it to record transactions of various sorts. It would be a really good way to keep track of property records, for example. Instead, we have title insurance, unsearchable folders of deeds in City Hall and often dusty tax records.

      This wrongly assumes that

      • Permanent records are always desirable
      • Accountability undermines corporations
    1. One source described the Q&A as an ultimately unsuccessful attempt at extracting some kind of accountability from Stadia management.

      There is no accountability to people inside corporations, only to results. Which is working as intended, companies are meant to make money by serving customers, not employees.

      The simple "truth" here is that these Stadia games likely wouldn't have been successful without a lot of additional investments.

    1. First, we explore state theories of governance and crisis and compare the pre-pandemic approaches to educational governance in Denmark, England and Italy. Following this, we examine the concept of ‘hybrid accountability’ and describe our own analytical framework. In the subsequent two sections, we outline our methodological approach before presenting our individual cases studies. Finally, we discuss the theoretical impli-cations of our findings for accountability and governance in times of crisis.

    1. And at the end of the day, Gates is not accountable to governments or to communities. He was not elected, and there is no mechanism for him to be recalled, challenged, or held responsible for faulty policies. He could suddenly decide that he was no longer interested in supporting agriculture in Africa. In that case, the new food system Gates is importing to the African continent would collapse. Political and economic systems are being drastically altered, all at the whim of one person, one foundation.In fact, the differences between this situation — powerful individuals and institutions deciding to mess with the social, political, and economic realities of countries — and the earlier form of colonialism are thin. It’s still advertised as “good intent” and the desire to “civilize” an “uncivilized” people. The only difference is that neocolonialism is quieter and more covert. By design, it provokes less outrage. But the essential power structures remain the same.

      Concentrating power to one individual is dangerous. Large portions of the food security of African nations should not be so vulnerable to corporatism.

    1. O! may she better learn to keep “Those secrets of the hoary deep.”!

      This is male privilege and misogyny at its best. Celia's privacy has been violated and yet Swift tasks her with keeping prying eyes away from her things. The intruder, Strephon, is pitied for what he finds and the subsequent disillusionment, but is not held accountable for his offense--snooping! Swift blames the victim similar to how every story of abuse plays out today. God forbid Strephon be responsible for his own actions and held to a higher standard than that of a snoop, intruder, etc. Those labels are reserved for women, I suppose.

    1. Identify your user agents When deploying software that makes requests to other sites, you should set a custom User-Agent header to identify the software and provide a means to contact its maintainers. Many of the automated requests we receive have generic user-agent headers such as Java/1.6.0 or Python-urllib/2.1 which provide no information on the actual software responsible for making the requests.

    1. “Until CR 1.0 there was no effective privacy standard or requirement for recording consent in a common format and providing people with a receipt they can reuse for data rights.  Individuals could not track their consents or monitor how their information was processed or know who to hold accountable in the event of a breach of their privacy,” said Colin Wallis, executive director, Kantara Initiative.  “CR 1.0 changes the game.  A consent receipt promises to put the power back into the hands of the individual and, together with its supporting API — the consent receipt generator — is an innovative mechanism for businesses to comply with upcoming GDPR requirements.  For the first time individuals and organizations will be able to maintain and manage permissions for personal data.”

    1. create the consequences that work with your personality.

      This is key. The Trump donation consequence speaks to me. That'd be awful to have to do.

      I need to hold my project out in front of my greatest enemy. If I finish it, my project and I live on, thrive, and enjoy watching the world enjoy the newfound sense of well-being they've gained as a result of connecting with my work.

      But if I fail, my enemy wins, suddenly causing me to be a part of the problem my work was supposed to be designed to cease.

    2. I am excited about traditional publisher because I am going to be beholden to them, they’re not going to let it slide that I don’t finish this thing on time. So maybe let’s talk about, what are ways that we can put ourselves in situations with that lines that will helps us as artists, as people who are trying to live a portfolio life?

      But part of perfectionism is the avoidance of shame caused by someone else negatively judging your work. Sure, while having an accountability partner would, in fact, be helpful, pulling the trigger on getting one ain't easy.

      (Wow, I'm being negative with these annotations. Sorry, though. Can't help it. It's how I feel. Would love someone to help me feel differently! ;-)

    1. Declaration of Independence

      We have the right to petition the government for redress of grievances

      That seems impractical these days with our government so big.

      We don't even write to our representatives in Congress. Why not? Maybe most of us don't think it would do any good.

      But if we don't stand up for our rights, they will gradually be taken away.

      Where is our militant faith? We're afraid of it being called hate speech.

    1. We should care less about whether something is centralized or decentralized than whether it is accountable. An accountable system is responsive to both the common good for participants and the needs of minorities; it sets consistent rules and can change them when they don’t meet users’ needs.

    1. Legislative staff members had finished rewriting AB 375, and a deal seemed imminent. That Friday, as he drank his morning coffee, Mactaggart decided to read the new bill — the fine print — one more time. He noticed a seemingly minor alteration in one section, the kind of thing most people would skip over. Mactaggart realized it would completely gut what remained of the private right of action. Furious, he called Hertzberg and Chau and told them the deal was off. Neither lawmaker could explain who made the change, Mactaggart told me, but Hertzberg scrambled to fix it. “In most negotiations, you are talking to all these different interest groups,” Hertzberg told me recently. “This is a situation where we had to go and reach out to everyone and bring that information to Mr. Mactaggart and ask him what he wanted to do.”

      Here's a case where we ought to consider creating our bills and laws via version control, so we can see exactly who, what, and when things changed along the way. It might mean much less gets done, but there'd be a lot more transparency and accountability.

    1. Recent statistics suggest that the average person spends about 50 minutes per day using Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger. Add that to the fact that most people spend over five hours per day on their cell phones, and it's clear that we love our technology. While it's awesome to make an effort to cut down on screen time in the name of health (especially before bed!), why not use the time you spend on your phone to your advantage? That's what members of health and fitness digital accountability groups are doing, and they're seeing amazing results.

      This article goes along well with the class reading on "Connected Learning"- using digital accountability and support to reach goals (example: fitness)

    1. STRONG COMMUNITIES GIVE RISE TO MORE CONSENTFUL TECHNOLOGIESWhen attention is paid to relationships, stronger communities result. This is the case in physical communities as well as digital. Users and makers can strengthen their communities and improve consent therein by asking:• How can we better protect each other? For example, is there a technical way to have other community members see and respond to harassing messages, so the person who is targeted does not have to deal with the barrage alone?• How can we hold each other accountable as a community? What are some community-based strategies for addressing non-consensual actions that work on the roots of the issue?• How can we better support and uplift each other? How can we normalize asking for consent on our platform?Small changes can make a big difference when we add a little friction to pathways used for abusive behaviour, and when we make it easier for people to help each other. For example, new users might have a quieter voice until they’ve been around awhile, or messages mentioning you could be downvoted by your friends so you won’t see them.
    2. Community accountability is a community-based strategy, rather than a police/prison-based strategy, to address violence within our communities. Community accountability is a process in which a community — a group of friends, a family, a church, a workplace, an apartment complex, a neighborhood, etc — work together to do the following things:• Create and affirm values & practices that resist abuse and oppression and encourage safety, support, and accountability• Develop sustainable strategies to address community members’ abusive behavior, creating a process for them to account for their actions and transform their behavior• Commit to ongoing development of all members of the community, and the community itself, to transform the political conditions that reinforce oppression and violence• Provide safety & support to community members who are violently targeted that respects their self-determination1What would a community accountability approach to digital communities look like?

    1. Michael came to me weighing only 99 pounds and bench pressing 85 pounds, and he had a sincere desire to get big and strong. I put him on the Bulgarian system, and in the short time he's been using it he's made the most impressive gains of any young guy I've ever seen. Michael now bench presses 205 pounds (up from 85–that's more than double) and front squats 215 pounds (up from one of the 125). He weighs in at 130 pounds (up from 99) and his body fat has increased by only 1.5%.
    2. Eric Poole – Age 33 Sales Manager – Visalia, CA Eric had only been working out sporadically off-and-on for a year. Nothing serious. Then he saw what I and some of my other clients had done with the Bulgarian system and he wanted to be a part of. When he began, he could only bench press 175 pounds for three reps maximum. Four weeks later, he was bench pressing 315 pounds! His squats went from 190 pounds (5 reps max) to 265 pounds.

    3. Bob Pierce – Age 20 College football player – Tulare, CA Bob started this program weighing 234 pounds (his heaviest weight ever), but he desperately needed to gain more weight for his lineman position on the football team. He had already tried lots of other systems for putting on weight and muscle mass, but nothing seemed to work. What's more, he had been training for over 5 years, which means his body was near its peak–and that's why he was having trouble putting on lean meat. (Or so he thought.) I put him on the Bulgarian system and in only 10 weeks, Bob gained 20 pounds of new muscle, with no increase in body fat! His bench press went from 315 pounds to 415 pounds in only 10 weeks. His legs don't fit into his old blue jeans anymore, and his friends at the gym swear he must be on steroids. (He's not. I don't allow any of my clients to use steroids.)
