argomentazione giuridica e digitale (già: Jovanotti e ChatGPT)
by alessandro marzocchi April 19, 2025

April 19, 2025

Il giurista imparava che ogni argomentazione deve fare riferimento al testo della legge, quale ""fatto palese dal significato proprio delle parole secondo la connessione di esse ..."". Più volte ho incontrato argomentazioni giuridiche fondate NON sul testo della legge ma su altre interpretazioni, più o meno autorevoli o numerose. E' comprensibile anche se sarebbe bene non dimenticare la regola fondamentale dell'interpretazione della legge. Dimentichiamo sempre, a mio parere, che: 1 - ognuno di noi oggi incontra "*regole digitali*" molto più numerose delle "*regole legali*". 2 - le "*regole legali*" si basano sul cosiddetto linguaggio naturale comprensibile a quasi tutti, mentre le "*regole digitali*" sono comprensibili a quasi nessuno. 3 - la comprensibilità della regola è, mia convinzione, l'origine del problema digitale, quindi opposizione a linguaggi proprietari. Diventa secondario, anche se peggiora la situazione, che LLM, IA e simili lavorino sul significato proprio delle parole e secondo la loro connessione. Auguri cordiali.

Meta starts AI training with personal data - those who want to object must act quickly
by J.C. DE MARTIN April 18, 2025

April 18, 2025

*Meta starts AI training with personal data - those who want to object must act quickly* https://datenschutz-hamburg.de/news/meta-starts-ai-training-with-personal-d… 15 April 2025 Until now, Meta's AI technology has not been trained with the Facebook and Instagram data of European users. This is now set to change: From *the end of May 2025, Meta wants to use the data of all adult European Facebook and Instagram users for training of its own AI applications*. The data will then be used to train the company's AI-based services such as the Meta-AI chatbot on WhatsApp or language models such as Llama. *Start of training planned for 2024 postponed for the time being* Meta had already announced last year that it would use all public posts and photos from its European Facebook and Instagram users for AI training. *However, Meta then postponed the project *after the Irish Data Protection Authority (IDPC), which is the lead supervisory authority for Meta in the EU, approached the company with data protection issues, particularly regarding the legal basis and transparency. *The procedure that is now in place makes it easier to object *to Meta's use of personal data for AI training. *If users want to object, then now* Registered users of Facebook and Instagram must now decide whether the company may train AI models with their personal data (posts, photos, etc.). This applies not only to the future, but also to all data from the past. If you have no concerns about your publicly accessible posts, comments and photos in your own account being used for AI training, you don't have to do anything. Anyone who wants to prevent their own data from being used by Meta for AI training purposes *must take action now*. All European users of legal age will be notified accordingly by Meta and informed of their options. You can object in the respective apps or for Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/712876720715583 <https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/712876720715583> and for Instagram at https://help.instagram.com/contact/767264225370182 <https://help.instagram.com/contact/767264225370182>. For the objection to take full effect, it must be lodged before the end of May 2025. Although it is possible to object at any time after this date, it will no longer be possible to undo that your data has already been used for AI training. Training data is irrevocably incorporated into AI models and its influence can no longer be removed from the model according to the current state of the art. Thomas Fuchs, Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information: „I can well understand that users are concerned when all their images and texts shared on social networks are now incorporated into AI models. The only way to protect yourself here is to object in good time. If so, then now.“

EC issues burner phones for visits to US
by 380° April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

Buongiorno, la Commissione EU fa l'offesa se a SPIARE funzionari, scienziati, aziende e cittadini europei "ha stato Trump" invece dei suoi predecessori... ...ipocriti al cubo! «Report: EC issues burner phones for visits to US» https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/15/ec_burner_devices/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The European Commission is giving staffers visiting the US on official business burner laptops and phones to avoid espionage attempts, according to the Financial Times. The use of clean and locked-down hardware is common practice for anyone visiting China, Russia, and other states where aggressive electronic surveillance is expected. Apparently the European Union has added the United States to that list. "The transatlantic alliance is over," an EU official [told] the newspaper, which reported the commission "is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China." Next week, officials from the EU are due in Washington DC for the spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund. Four sources told the FT the EC had changed its guidance to ensure that visitors to America take serious precautions against cyber-espionage. "They are worried about the US getting into the commission systems," said one. [...] Taking a burner device, to be honest, sounds like standard practice for people in sensitive lines of work, though this is all being interpreted as an indication of quite how badly relations have slipped between Europe and the US. And while a certain amount of spying on one's allies is [expected] – former German chancellor Angela Merkel was [most peeved] when it turns out her phone was being bugged by the NSA – a recommendation to take fresh devices is something new. More context: • [John Kerry bombshell: 'Yes, the NSA… reached TOO FAR, inappropriately'] • [Germany tells America to verpissen off over Huawei 5G cyber-Sicherheitsbedenken] • [Angela Merkel's phone was being listened in on by FIVE foreign powers] • [This is how we know Echelon exists] Ultimately, spies spy, and when it comes to spying on the world, no one doubts America's abilities, regardless of who is in charge. "Washington is not Beijing or Moscow, but it is an adversary that is prone to use extra-legal methods to further its interests and power," Luuk van Middelaar, director of the Brussels Institute for Geopolitics think tank, told the FT. "Democrat administrations use the same tactics. It is an acceptance of reality by the Commission." A European Commission spokesperson, an in email to /The Register/, did not deny equipment was being handed out to staff as reported. And while the spinner claimed the commission had not issued official guidance to use burner laptops and phones, they did admit it had tweaked its recommendations. "We have recently updated several country specific traveling recommendation factsheets for officials. They reflect the latest changes in the way the commission communicates and the general increase of threats globally regarding cybersecurity," the spokesperson told us. "Finally, indeed we recommend linking the e-visa to an EU laissez-passer for senior officials, in order to underline the official nature of the visit and facilitate visa processes in embassies prior to departure. Again, these updated recommendations were included in many other countries' factsheets to the attention of travelling senior officials." We understand the FT stands by its yarn. And it wouldn't be the first time the EU had [denied] a story, only to later confirm its veracity. ® --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- [told] <https://www.ft.com/content/20d0678a-41b2-468d-ac10-14ce1eae357b> [expected] <https://www.theregister.com/2001/09/14/this_is_how_we_know/> [most peeved] <https://www.theregister.com/2013/11/26/merkel_phone_tapped_by_5_countries/> [John Kerry bombshell: 'Yes, the NSA… reached TOO FAR, inappropriately'] <https://www.theregister.com/2013/11/01/john_kerry_nsa_spying/> [Germany tells America to verpissen off over Huawei 5G cyber-Sicherheitsbedenken] <https://www.theregister.com/2019/02/19/germany_huawei_5g_security/> [Angela Merkel's phone was being listened in on by FIVE foreign powers] <https://www.theregister.com/2013/11/26/merkel_phone_tapped_by_5_countries/> [This is how we know Echelon exists] <https://www.theregister.com/2001/09/14/this_is_how_we_know/> [denied] <https://x.com/paolatamma/status/1907067942660870231> -- 380° (lost in /traslation/) «Welcome to the chaos of the times If you go left and I go right Pray we make it out alive This is Karmageddon»

We Have a Package for You! A Comprehensive Analysis of Package Hallucinations, by Code Generating LLMs
by Alberto Cammozzo April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

<https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.10279> Anche qui: <https://socket.dev/blog/slopsquatting-how-ai-hallucinations-are-fueling-a-n…> Abstract The reliance of popular programming languages such as Python and JavaScript on centralized package repositories and open-source software, combined with the emergence of code-generating Large Language Models (LLMs), has created a new type of threat to the software supply chain: package hallucinations. These hallucinations, which arise from fact- conflicting errors when generating code using LLMs, repre- sent a novel form of package confusion attack that poses a critical threat to the integrity of the software supply chain. This paper conducts a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation of package hallucinations across different programming lan- guages, settings, and parameters, exploring how a diverse set of models and configurations affect the likelihood of generat- ing erroneous package recommendations and identifying the root causes of this phenomenon. Using 16 popular LLMs for code generation and two unique prompt datasets, we generate 576,000 code samples in two programming languages that we analyze for package hallucinations. Our findings reveal that that the average percentage of hallucinated packages is at least 5.2% for commercial models and 21.7% for open-source models, including a staggering 205,474 unique examples of hallucinated package names, further underscoring the severity and pervasiveness of this threat. To overcome this problem, we implement several hallucination mitigation strategies and show that they are able to significantly reduce the number of package hallucinations while maintaining code quality. Our experiments and findings highlight package hallucinations as a persistent and systemic phenomenon while using state-of- the-art LLMs for code generation, and a significant challenge which deserves the research community’s urgent attention.

Seven39, il social aperto solo tre ore al giorno
by Antonio April 14, 2025

April 14, 2025

Hai tre ore per connetterti su Seven39, poi chiude. Un ritorno al passato che sfida l'economia dell'attenzione con un social network a tempo limitato. Alle 19:38 di ogni sera, come un rituale, ogni iscritto riceve un'email: "Seven39 è di nuovo aperto". Tre ore, non un minuto di più. Un social network che funziona solo dalle 19:39 alle 22:39, ora della costa est americana. Fuori da quella finestra? Porte chiuse, niente scrolling, niente contenuti. Un cartello rosso vi accoglie con un'idea di fondo molto, molto precisa: "I social media sono migliori quando siamo tutti online insieme. Niente doomscrolling. Niente FOMO. Solo 3 ore di divertimento ogni sera". https://www.futuroprossimo.it/2025/04/vi-presento-seven39-il-social-aperto-… A.
