The insatiable hunger to feed #LLMs and #AI is parasitically draining the commons and public internet. Bandwidth costs are spiking as crawlers take data for training and information. For Wikipedia, the lack of attribution means no visitors, no donors, just cost. The #ethics of AI are failing here.
I saw Tim Karr on bluesky suggest that AIs should pay fees or a tax (should that be tariffs?) into a fund that supports public content. Services like Cloudflare and Fastly that defend against bots are evolving for crawlers. In #identity, the implications for #AgenticAI, #AI, and #NHI are vast.

What recommended moral philosophy literature is out there regarding proportionality from an ethical perspective? I am familiar with discussions in just war theory (e.g. McMahan, Lee, Shue); what interesting stuff is there beyond this?

Ned Price: "It's right to focus on the economic headwinds of Trump's tariffs and how they'll make life more expensive--from eggs to cars. We should also look closely at the flip-side: his exemptions, a source of pay-for-play corruption and another control lever for an aspiring authoritarian. With tariffs, Trump gave himself a new lever to bring companies and countries to heel, to his benefit at the expense of everyday Americans who will be left holding the more expensive bag." #ethics #politics

"[creator of open source genetic database OpenSNP] Greshake Tzovaras says that he is particularly concerned about the rise of DNA phenotyping, which is a dubious process in which DNA “portraits” of potential suspects are generated based on a DNA sample; he called the practice “unreliable nonsense,” and said that a startup had once approached OpenSNP to help them create a DNA phenotyping product to sell to law enforcement. "That's something we don't want to see in the world," he said.
“Across the globe there is a rise in far-right and other authoritarian governments. While they are cracking down on free and open societies, they are also dedicated to replacing scientific thought and reasoning with pseudoscience across disciplines,” Greshake Tzovaras wrote. “The risk/benefit calculus of providing free & open access to individual genetic data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago. And so, sunsetting openSNP – along with deleting the data stored within it – feels like it is the most responsible act of stewardship for these data today.”

…The decision shows that #Musk's Department of Government *Efficiency*, which is directing the cuts, is not making the government more effective, said Kathleen Clark, a professor of #ethics at WashU in St. Louis.
"It is becoming increasingly obvious that Musk’s & #DOGE’s mission has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, & instead is aimed at enabling Musk to use - & abuse - #power within the federal government," she said.

My guess is that Elon Musk regrets having made his Nazi salute, because a picture of it is often used in anti-Musk signs. The Anti-Defamation League, which many years ago defended Jewish rights, instead chose to defend a neo-Nazi's use of a Nazi salute. It looks like the ADL prostituted itself for money. #ethics #politics
