A major structural hazard with extreme media ownership concentration is that oligarchs impose their ideological agendas--which almost always skew to the far right--on everyone. This capture of core info and communication infrastructures must be dismantled if we're to have any semblance of democracy.

In two 1926 articles, Edgar Douglas Adrian revealed that neurons communicate through trains of spikes. @carandinilab.net describes the remarkable discovery and how it shifted focus from the medium (the nerve) to the message (the neural code). #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/history-of-n...

Science will always be a target for movements that rely on constructing their own version of reality.
It really is striking how many authoritarian states have ended up in this exact same place, where the leader seizes control of scientific inquiry. Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, Aryan Physics in the Third Reich, Great Leap Forward (also related to Lysenko) in China.

If only the people that are able to act upon this would listen to him..
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for AI companies to slow the pace of development as concerns mount over risks associated with the technology. In an essay, Amodei said he was worried about the ability to control self-improving AI models.
Their in fact attempting to stop the „brain drain“ to the US. Good for the rest of the world (or, especially, other brain drain attractors) - but hard to understand what would be in it for the US..
This will devastate our research+innovation capacity, bedrock of the 21st century economy. 35% of *all* employed people in the US with STEM PhD degrees are both foreign-born *and* graduated from a US university. —> nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/292... Shutting them out is extremist folly.

Depends a lot how AI is used. Clearly written in the report. We need to educate young people how to use these new tools. Prohibiting them is not a practical option.
The data from this OECD PISA report is damning. "students who do not use AI outperform those who do, ... equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers." www.oecd.org/en/publicati...
