@asanpin@defcon.social Done. Mixed feelings. To concentrate solely on FIMI does not sound wise. In the USA DIMI is at present the most urgent problem (Domestic Information Manipulation and Interference), which has already halted research necessary for informed citizens in a democracy, and IMI in general is dangerous, no matter its source. In Finland, we don't usually speak about "democracies", because the actual distribution of political power is more important itself, and comes in degrees. Some NATO-countries, e.g, are not democratic, and some even oligarchic, or at least act like ones. There is no "West" or "the democratic world" but in some not so democratic ruler's and marketer's jargon. That jargon manifests itself maybe too much in the WFW-report. Some parts of it were educational, some clearly outdated, superficial, and/or unnecessarily fear-mongerous. The Alan Turing report is on quite another level with its delailed scenarios for influence in Ch. 5, https://www.turing.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2020-10/epistemic-security-report_final.pdf With respect to the AI-danger there have been proposals for an IPCC-like body to steer and regulate at least something, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01606-9 but guess which former "democracy" just dissociated itsef from even the original IPCC? And referring to, e.g, the dual-use problem, guess who frustrated at least part of the EU AI-Act, https://corporateeurope.org/en/2023/02/lobbying-ghost-machine My advice for most everybody would be to stop using tools which use you, and maybe instead start to read real texts, preferably more than 10 pages long. Important things don't come easily, and the hustle we constantly feel, isn't ours. I go back to my primary reading, thanks for the opportunity to think aloud, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/attention/ #cognitiveWarfare #information #ai #democracy #usa #ipcc #aiAct #propaganda #disinformation

The Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs provided today’s #information regarding Hajj. • Afghanistan’s current quota is 30,000, and a promise has been made by the Saudi government to potentially increase the quota in the future. • The majority of the allocated quota has been distributed transparently and fairly to Hajj applicants who were previously registered throughout the country. • More than 87,000 individuals who were previously registered for Hajj remained after the current system came to power.
