Hello Everyone, Jill Cates will do short talk on ethics and AI today. Could you fill out this short survey before the talk? https://bit.ly/2XqoKD8 Alex.
Leading, (“too dangerous”, outraged, etc) loaded, (censored?, yes/no question with no explanation of the level of suppression or extent) and double-barreled (regulated vs censored) questions. I don't think I'd put too much stock in the answers we give. On Tue, Jul 9, 2019 at 11:54 AM Alex Volkov via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Statistics are the ventriloquists dummy. This was probably the first trope I ever heard which warned me about "deepfake" content. Never heard the deepfake term before but the concept is ageless. Control of the data is the key to the desired effect, not necessarily the data in its own right. I think that every minting of a new term for old issues, even justifiably due to changing technology or social construct, is representative of the fabric of the times. If history is the propaganda of the victors then so too should such deepfake content ultimately lead to the necessity of a deeptruth algorithm. Cause and effect are what sciences study by gathering and comparing data. Effect of a cause is what data manipulation does as a business or governance tool in industry and elsewhere. Sometimes the purpose of a survey is to disseminate information, as well as collect it. Marketers do this all the time, the benefits are twofold. One survey, 30 years ago, got me twenty bucks and a six pack of Brick Lager. The researchers got their info and the sixpack wasn't just for me to guzzle. This was a MLM tool because they wanted me to share the beer. They didn't tell me to, they just knew it was likely that I would and thus help them to build their brand. There are two sides to a coin. On one side the coin says, we don't release this software because it may be used to cause harms. The other side says, this is our bread and butter so go figure it out for yourself. Dell reverse engineered IBM's bios and became a juggernaut. I'm pretty sure that it would be easier to write the deeptruth algorithm if everybody had access to the deep fake toolset so I filled out the survey accordingly.

Columbia Data Products did it first, then Compaq did it, then Phoenix and AMI (who of course sold their BIOS to other companies to use). Not sure Dell even existed at the time. Well apparently it started in 1984 as PC's Limited selling machines from parts (motherboard made by Excel so using whatever clone BIOS they were using). A few years later it became named Dell. It appears they never did any BIOS reverse engineering, since others had already done that and you could just buy it from them. -- len Sorensen
