Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Thank you @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for stating this. I know a lot of tech companies love the idea of selling data and Ai in general has built a lot of hype for investors, but it's clear once the sizzle is gone, there is no steak, only security and privacy issues. We need laws to regulate it.

I could also belabor the points about teens committing suicide because of Ai, the negative environmental impacts, how it's destroying education and critical thinking, enabling copyright infringement and plagiarism (theft), spreading misinformation, mass layoffs, etc. Ai in general is troubling.
