RIP Daniel Dennett
I began reading Daniel Dennett following the advice of Joanna J Bryson, who pointed me to 'Brainstorms' The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social and the essay 'Why You Can't Make a Computer that Feels Pain.' His work was pivotal for so many of us. A true giant in the philosophy of #AI .

Context: it seems there will be a national (draft) ITA act on AI out soon. Here is an unofficial version -- the official one is not yet published, to my knowledge

‘In the 10-minute presentation – titled “digital transformation and artificial intelligence in the intelligence domain” – the 🇮🇱 colonel offered a rare insight into how opaque #AI systems are being used by secretive military and intelligence bodies.’ #Gaza theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

So, there's an AI deciding who's a Hamas operative and, therefore, who’s a target. Question is: how does an AI decide who's Hamas?
- Mass surveillance on population
- Certain traits identified as predictors of being Hamas
- Almost everyone gets a “score” of Hamas-likelyhood
