AI Companies to professional cooks: We've brought you food. We think it's delicious, but it might be spoiled or poisonous. Check it out for yourselves.

This is absolutely disgraceful.

Teaching teenagers how to coax a five-paragraph hallucination out of an autocomplete engine is truly the peak of modern education.

Is that good, bad, I don't know !?

“The city release of documents confirmed a police drone flew through the windshield of a Peterbilt tractor-trailer truck in June, cutting the face of a Canadian driver and sending him to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Temple.” This is a key reason why I’m opposed to these drone 911 programs.

Asbestos peddler upset that their product may be described unfavorably.

Fuck right off with this bullshit.

No you see AI won’t replace jobs it will simply make the jobs easier

In Kharkiv one of the bodies is literally torn apart by Russian missile after an attack. Body parts are scattered across the street. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine" - Trump. Bastards. Sick terrorist Bastards.

Anthropic is trying to write its own federal AI regulation law. The major AI firms have all issued feeble proposals for how their AI will serve the public, in anticipation of their pending IPOs. It's all a reminder that we cannot, any under circumstances, let AI firms govern the future.

In Sloviansk a russian airstrike destroyed a private home. Emergency responders pulled the body of the killed owner from under the rubble‼️ The woman was simply living her life in her own house and russian "humanitarians" killed her for that.

Druzhkivka used to be home to over 50 thousand people. They built their lives here, built homes, had dreams. Now, it is in ruins, another town in Donbas destroyed by Russia.

So, like, if the reviewer can't figure this shit out on their own they *shouldn't be reviewing the manuscript at all*.

Academic publishing and genAI? I’d rather roll in shit.

I wore stickers on my clothes, on the bus, to do a silent campaign. The city I'm in is very pro-Bolsonaro. My role was to show other sensible people: we exist.

this why I believe abstinence is the only real way, but I know it's hard we have been here before with smoking, where the best thing is never to start & the second best is to stop as soon as you can — and it doesn't matter if one cig a day is "not that bad" if you can go down to one go down to nil

Also for what it is worth, it DIDN'T actually label them as illustrative — and the deception was only apparent because I know the data well. That's scary, because if you use AI for everything, you wouldn't know the data well enough to catch its deceptions.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Thou shalt arrest Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Can I get an amen?

This interview has almost 1 million views in four days and has generated a big new wave of interest in "The Nerd Reich." Here's how I explained tech fascism to DW News (German public media) on a windy beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2176...

Kramatorsk today. Empty streets, closed stores, burnt apartments. It is slowly turning into a ghost town, just one more among so many destroyed by russia.

Russian "humanitarians" are striking public buses again. This time in Kherson. A 67-year-old man was killed‼️

While we discuss with colleagues in academia about the ethics of using AI, trying to choose the right tone in order to avoid shattering what little remains of their spine with statements a bit too strongly worded, this is what they’re actually contributing to in the real world.

Kharkiv is under russian jet powered drone attack right now ‼️

“Data centers are unavoidable in Northern Virginia. … I could even feel their influence in the street names: Cloud Plaza, Performance Circle, and, worst of all, Growth Mindset Lane. We can thank Microsoft for that one.” Read a HYPERSCALE excerpt in @thenation.com: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Have you ever looked at a tormented city and wondered how much devastation it takes to kill it? How much more can it endure? Where is the line after which survivors, if any remain, can no longer rebuild? ​We watch russia raze our cities one by one.

“Trump’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory.” - Barack Obama in Ohio.

When the AI being used only "for placeholder stuff" or "minor stuff" or things like that is... So if i use shit to make a cake, but the shit is not noticeable in the final product... you'll eat my shit cake?

guys the only way I can run this business is if I cook rats and the children I snatch from the playground behind my house why do you want me to fail? Why do you want to crush my dreamsssssss like thissssss 🥺

There are some less clear cases (software security, formal proofs). But some are pretty obvious: using AI to make slides, making unnecessary images, generating useless videos.

So much this

Hey quick questions! What did the employees at Boston Dynamics think they were building robot dogs for? Shits and giggles?

The way mathematics is speed running this is informative. Reminds me of the Soviet aphorism, "you pretend to pay us and we'll pretend to work".
