#Summit4Democracy : “we can only solve these problems with collaboration and coordination equally across tech industry, government, and civil society” Also #Summit4Democracy : “don’t sit with anyone outside of your sector.”

Audience applause for Nighat Dad as she calls for curbing the erosion of civic space and for financial support for civil society especially those from global majority who perform a lot of human rights labor for governments and for tech platforms for free. #SummitForDemocracy

I think we can call it shut on 'Open' AI: the 98 page paper introducing GPT-4 proudly declares that they're disclosing *nothing* about the contents of their training set.

Update, dear reader, we stopped waiting around for Getaround and went with Budget Car Rental. Had a lovely trip. Now back to your expected content on all things internet and tech policy.
