- FACEBOOK CAN'T EVEN
BLOCK INAPPROPRIATE VIDEOS?
- Scary stuff! Facebook can't even
block inappropriate videos being posted which needs to be their
focus not trying to determine the state of our mental health
and then send "the men in the white suits" to take
us to the mental ward for our safety or to determine our political
affiliations.
- .
Ironically as Facebook continues to tout its claims of protecting
democracy by taking steps to "ensure the integrity of elections"
as Zuckerberg has frequently stated, it will now actively and
openly pursue an AI regulated future which, as Elon Musk has
personally warned Zuckerberg, will likely be the very source
of tyranny and ultimate destruction of future humanity.

falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we carelessly
destroyed ourselves from the inside ." (Abraham Lincoln)

FACEBOOK ANNOUNCES
IT WILL USE A.I. TO SCAN YOUR THOUGHTS "TO ENHANCE USER
SAFETY" ?
By Meat Grinder Media - Facebook proudly brags that it will use
AI to "save lives" based on behavior and thought pattern
recognition. A mere few years ago the idea that artificial intelligence
(AI) might be used to analyze and report to law enforcement aberrant
human behavior on social media and other online platforms was
merely the far out premise of dystopian movies such as Minority
Report, but now Facebook proudly brags that it will use AI to
"save lives" based on behavior and thought pattern
recognition.
- .
- WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
- The latest puff piece in Tech
Crunch profiling the apparently innocuous sounding "roll
out" of AI (as if a mere modest software update) "to
detect suicidal posts before they're reported" opens with
the glowingly optimistic line, "This is software to save
lives" - so who could possibly doubt such a wonderful and
benign initiative which involves AI evaluating people's mental
health? Tech Crunch's Josh Cronstine begins:
- .
- This is software to save lives.
Facebook's new "proactive detection" artificial intelligence
technology will scan all posts for patterns of suicidal thoughts,
and when necessary send mental health resources to the user at
risk or their friends, or contact local first-responders. By
using AI to flag worrisome posts to human moderators instead
of waiting for user reports, Facebook can decrease how long it
takes to send help.
- .
- CEO Mark Zuckerberg has long hinted
that his team has been wrestling with ways to prevent what appears
to be a disturbingly increased trend of live streamed suicides
as well as the much larger social problem of online bullying
and harassment. One recent example which gained international
media attention was a bizarre incident out of Turkey, where a
distraught father shot himself on Facebook Live after announcing
that his daughter was getting married without his permission.
Though the example actually demonstrates the endlessly complex
and unforeseen variables involved in human decision making and
the human psyche - in this case notions of rigid Middle East
cultural taboos and stigma clearly played a part - Tech Crunch
holds it up as something which AI could possibly prevent.
- .
- Earlier this year Zuckerberg wrote
in a public post that "There have been terribly tragic events
- like suicides, some live streamed - that perhaps could have
been prevented if someone had realized what was happening and
reported them sooner… Artificial intelligence can help provide
a better approach." And in a post yesterday announcing the
new AI suicide prevention tool integration, he wrote that "In
the future, AI will be able to understand more of the subtle
nuances of language, and will be able to identify different issues
beyond suicide as well, including quickly spotting more kinds
of bullying and hate."
- .
Naturally, we must ask: what does Mark mean by the eerily ambiguous
reference to "we will be able to identify different issues
beyond suicide as well.."?

- FACEBOOK TO IMPLEMENT
NEW FACIAL RECOGNITION SCANS
- [Ednote: It's on board. A lady
had a class photo uploaded and the squares went on each face
wanting the name of each person. I added a video to facebook
about this new scan and Facebook took it down. Apparently they
wish to keep this info quiet.]
- December 19, 2017 - This morning,
Facebook announced that it’s going to start scanning all
the photos uploaded to the social network looking for your face,
unless you opt out—or unless you are a European or Canadian,
where privacy law actually limits what Facebook can do with people’s
faces. The purpose of the scanning, according to Facebook, is
to alert you if someone has publicly uploaded a photo of you
that you don’t know about, especially if they are trying
to impersonate you.
- .
Behind the message about protecting your identity, though is
a larger truth about Facebook’s ability to reach into your
personal business: The announcement means that Facebook’s
face-recognition technology is now so powerful that it can recognize
you in any photo, anywhere, even if it has no other reason to
expect to find your face in that photo.
- .
It’s easy to identify your face if Facebook is only looking
for you among the photos your friends have uploaded. It’s
harder if the possible pool is more than a billion people, a.k.a.
Facebook’s entire user base. That Facebook thinks it can
do the latter means Facebook believes its faceprints are really
good now.
And that, in turn, means Facebook has a new powerful tool for
mapping who knows who on the social network. By looking at photos
from an event, for example, and identifying the faces, Facebook
could know everybody who was there and know they might be connected.
That would be a boon for Facebook’s People You May Know
tool, allowing it to suggest as friends people whose faces appeared
in the background of photos it identified you in, or vice versa.
- .
That surveillance power would be more than a little creepy—connecting
you, for example, to people wandering around behind you as you
pose in front of the Eiffel Tower or to people caught in the
background when you drunkenly take a selfie at a bar. Given that
potential creepiness, and our longstanding interest in how People
You May Know actually works, a Facebook spokesperson pre-emptively
sent us a note about the facial recognition tool.
- .
“Wanted to give you a heads up about an announcement we
made this morning.
“I can also confirm that we do not use this technology in
People You May Know.”
If that should change, I am sure Facebook will let us know

- INSPIRING YOUTHS TO
MAKE A CHANGE
DO NOT confine yourselves to
Facebook. Get out there. Meet more young people from different
backgrounds to open your mind. This is the message Home Affairs
Ministry special officer Mohd Rizmel Nazrin Abdul Malik wants
to drive home at his public talk circuits. “Go out there
and make a change. Social media is one way, so is getting into
leadership programmes organised by the Government. Look for them.
They are in the web and social media,” he urged at a recent
talk in Universiti Putra Malaysia which was attended by 300 students.
Rizmel, formerly of the Youth Parliament and Perdana Fellows
Programme, was the only Malaysian political intern to be part
of the Obama re-election campaign while pursuing a double degree
in Economics and Politics at Drake University, Iowa in the United
States. Back in Malaysia, the 27-year-old is using his public
speaking skills to inspire youths to embrace the aspirations
of the National Transformation (TN50) blueprint.
-
- The TN50 agenda is an ambitious
one. Nanotechnology chip implants that will clean arteries and
fight cancer cells; power generation by the sun and wind; the
death of the office where work equals to working from pods at
home. The responsibilities of realising these ambitions will
fall on the youth of this generation. And they only have 30 years
to do it starting from 2020. In his talk, Rizmel said the first
step to realising the end goal was to instil the spirit of leadership
in our young. Read more at https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/focus/2018/03/06/

- SAMSUNG'S GALAXY S9
AR EMOJI ARE KIND OF HORRIFYING
At least they have Disney characters
By Sam Byford@345triangle Feb 26, 2018 - Setting up AR Emoji
is simple. You only need to take a single picture of yourself
smiling with your mouth closed, and the Galaxy S9 does the rest.
From that picture it uses machine learning to create an animated
3D model of your face, which you can customize with different
hairstyles, clothes, and so on. It’s more like Bitmoji than
Animoji — the idea is to create an avatar of yourself. The
clips can be sent as GIFs or PNGs, too, which makes them a lot
easier to share than Animoji. Now look, I’m not the sort
of person that particularly enjoys looking at pictures of themselves.
But even with that caveat, i was pretty unsettled by the results
here. Take a look for yourself: [...] Vlad tells me this photo
“accurately represents his attitude to these emoji.”
We'll have to spend more time with the Galaxy S9 to deliver the
final verdict on AR Emoji, and of course the phone's overall
success isn't going to hinge on them. But from our brief testing,
they're a plane crash right into the depths of the Uncanny Valley.
They’re not abstract enough to be cute, yet not realistic
enough to be authentic.

- ALGORITHMS ARE GETTING
BETTER AT IDENTIFYING HUMAN BEHAVIOR
By Seth Horowitz - December
26, 2017 - The holiday season has many things associated with
it that generates positive emotions in people around the world.
Sadly, it is also a time that generates negative feelings which
includes suicidal thoughts. Although humans are getting better
in understanding the human psyche, suicide among young adults
is the second-leading cause of death according to the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention. Fortunately, artificial intelligence
is improving in this field as algorithms are getting better at
identifying human behavior.
WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM?
Let's first explain what
an algorithm is, which is a procedure used to help find the answer
to a mathematical problem (finding the greatest common divisor)
in a number of finite steps which frequently involves repetition
of an operation; in other words, a step-by-step procedure for
figuring out the answer to a problem or accomplishing some end
by using a computer. While this may be a lot to take in, just
remember that AI has evolved from simply being used to retrieve
data to answer factual questions (think of the show Jeopardy)
to now being able to identify specific human behaviors.
HOW ALGORITHMS
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFYING HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Back in 2014, an article
by Jennifer Golbeck focused on the type of insights one can make
about an individual by analyzing social media accounts. Considering
the amount of data that is shared on various social media sites,
the information that some may think is innocuous is revealing;
analyzing tens of thousands of other profiles can lead to secrets
one never intended on sharing. The title of the article, Smart
People Prefer Curly Fries, shows that using the right algorithms
and combining it with meaningful data can result in revealing
human behavior/characteristics that even the individual was not
aware of.

- Human speech will be
replaced by thought communication by 2050, claims expert
HUMAN speech will become a
thing of the past by the year 2050, by which time we will communicate
by thought via a computer-generated collective consciousness,
it has been claimed
By Ciaran McGrath - Feb 17, 2018
Marko Karjnovic unveiled his ideas at The Museum of the Future
as part of the World Government Summit in Dubai.
- The Hybrid Intelligence Biometric
Avatar (HIBA), will understand the feelings of people connected
to it, take on their personas, exchange information with them
and even become part of the fabric of their brains.
- Mr Karjnovic, who has produced
the exhibit, explained: "It is very similar to the work
of Elon Musk – it is an open source platform for humanity.
- "HIBA will have the ability
to connect the minds of the most clever of us, combining those
minds with everything it can find out practically and put it
all together in hybrid intelligence."
He suggested the technology would enable people to use "brain
to brain communication" anywhere on the planet.
HIBA would work in much the same way as existing AI applications
such as Siri and Alexa, but on a much grander and more sophisticated
scale.
The research suggests it will be more effective than verbal communication
and will “enable people to connect with friends, family
or business owners in a more profound manner”.
Mr Krajnovic said: "In 2018, the highest level of AI relies
on collecting data from the internet.
