ChatGPT is yet another ‘trend’ that, like blockchain, NFT and their offspings, will sooner or later disappear from the headlines (and from the professional qualifications of the ‘experts’). Meanwhile, warnings of millenarians, Luddites, Canutes and catastrophists are multiplying, never missing an opportunity to predict the ‘dangers to privacy’, the job losses caused by the use of AI to produce editorial content, studies and research, and the ‘bias’ that will lead AI to utter inappropriate ‘oracles’ or not in line with the politically correct.

Tätertyp is a hideous, hateful, obscene word. Tätertyp is the idea that one should be punished, even by death, for what one is and not for what one has done by Andrea Monti – Originally published in Italian on Strategikon – an Italian Tech blog Continue reading “Tätertyp: the horror of ‘author’s guiltness’”
