@metaviv Does this skirt the issue of the origin/provenance of the information that is being detected/generated? Is it not only mitigating side effects of a bigger problem of low standards around provenance and identification on the web and walled gardens.

I was part of the red team for GPT-4 — tasked with getting GPT-4 to do harmful things so that OpenAI could fix it before release. I've been advocating for red teaming for years & it's incredibly important. But I'm also increasingly concerned that it is far from sufficient. 🧵⤵️

Some evidence: drinking #water access estimated from UN @JMPWASH household data sources and from @WaterPointData water point inventories correlate. The 1st is people's use of water points, the second is the density of people around water points. Why? osf.io/kjry2/

@JMPWASH published 2021 country excel sheets (household sources and inequalities estimates)! I will publish shortly a tool that combines these for analysis in R. Sharing this with @JMPWASH first for review. Stay tuned!

Achieving #SDG6 #WASH targets for universal coverage by 2030 will require quadrupling (4x increase) in current rates of progress. New @WHO @UNICEF @JMPWASH report released 1st July washdata.org

Creation of complex rules (with # of people, households, exceptions) varying by tiers has created a perverse system where people look for loopholes. Instead, focus on why this virus is risky, what we can all do to avoid getting it & passing it on & the underlying science.

@EnvSciTech @jennadavis_whd Great, but only useful if everyone's wastewater is effectively collected and treated. Another great reason to achieve universal access to safe sanitation. Not relevant for on site safe sanitation.

Potentially innovative finance should focus on funding solutions in a well regulated environment. We urgently need to strengthen our national institutions that work for the human right to water and create spaces for innovation. #water2me
Pedro Arrojo Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur@SRWatSan

It was announced that water will be traded on the Wall Street futures market, a favourable space to promote speculative financial strategies. In response, I call on everyone to start a global debate on the values of water for #WorldWaterDay (22 Mar 2021) #water2me ⬇️⬇️⬇️

For me fascinating as I have often told people I had very similar symptoms in October 2019 after travelling (flights between the Netherlands and West and East Africa)... much to be learned!

From 23 towns 5 yrs back, NWSC is now in over 250 towns of operation. We used to lay about 100kms of water mains per F/Y. The corporation is now laying over 2000kms of water mains each F/Y. PHOTOS: The current NWSC performance board. #waterman @NWSCMD @UgandaMediaCent
