"Alarmed by what companies are building with artificial intelligence models, a handful of industry insiders are calling for those opposed to the current state of affairs to undertake a mass data poisoning effort to undermine the technology. Their initiative, dubbed Poison Fountain, asks website operators to add links to their websites that feed AI crawlers poisoned training data. It's been up and running for about a week."
URGENT: If you're Irish read this. Please spread the word "The government now wants to make it super expensive (>€100,000) for ordinary people to go to court to protect the environment. The Government is currently engaged in an extremely short consultation on proposed rules to cap legal costs when you go to court and hold the state to account for breaking environmental law. If you think this is wrong, make your views known by emailing aarhus@dcee.gov.ie by 15 January.
