new sticker design soon, still need to decide a quantity and place order

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

My experience of AI is seeing stories such as this one and crying out, quite literally, "oh no god no," and then sobbing. What are we doing? Why is this not stirring moral outrage? These tools fuel delusions and suicidal ideation and we are just going to...watch it keep happening?

The vulgar dishonesty of Altman and Amodei puts blood on both of their hands, and it’s the duty of every single member of the media to remind people of this whenever you discuss their software. They both love - and monetize! - war. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-bubble-is-an-information-war/

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Economists: you know I love you, but I think it's time you gave it a rest with all these "which jobs are most exposed to AI?" analyses. www.ft.com/content/8d3b...

The AI economy has become a grifter economy, with dodginess and chicanery at every level, where CEOs lie, and their lies are solidified into plausible-looking analyslop. And the institutions that should be challenging them are nowhere to be seen. www.wheresyoured.at/on-nvidia-an...

This is an important thing to understand about the behavior that gets described as "AI psychosis"; people are using tools they were told would be helpful or useful, but the companies run by folks with the most experience in the world at manipulating billions of users have designed an addictive app.

One of the things that's most frustrating about the hype cycle around OpenClaw is that so much of what people are excited about is just... software? You can automate doing lots of cool stuff with your inbox with deterministic software that's been around for decades, and it won't delete your inbox!

“Human beings have evolved to learn from each other in the context of our relationships. This is the superpower of our species, and the kids who’ve grown up in the past 20 years are increasingly disgusted by what tech has done to them personally, and society more broadly.”

'Briggs and his Goldman Sachs colleagues recently said that investment spending on AI made “basically zero” difference in U.S. economic growth last year.' You don't say.

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model. This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine. 🧵/

1/5 I am getting more and more emails from individuals directly to me expressing fear for their children from possibly physical actions from AI. They mention that my views seem balanced and ask me to respond to their words. The attached four skeets are a response to one such that I wrote today.

“It's bad fucking news. It's bad for thinking. It's bad for learning. It's bad for teaching. It's bad for research. It's bad for knowledge. It's bad for justice. It’s bad for democracy. It's bad for humanity.” - @audreywatters.bsky.social , and you know what she means by “it”, don’t you?

Bernie Sanders keeps saying the most wrong headed about AI and paling around with Geoffery Hinton. We write more about it here -- buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...

Time to leave the internet?

Interesting and erudite essay exploring the varied medieval forms of learning through dialogue and using that lens to explore AI. (Of course human interlocutors have minds and AI tools do not, that always should be remembered as well.)

I've written a short comment regarding this new MIT study that is being passed around and why it is horseshit. "11.7% of US workforce is being replaced by AI" my ass. Thought that might be of interest. Also - thanks for all your work, you are one of the best resources out there.

A better world is not just possible, it’s within reach. If we’re willing to organize and fight for it.

So, according to their ads, with MS Copilot, I can go into my big important business negotiation and be told by AI what the basic monetary value of my goods or services. And people say its a solution without a problem? Its horseshit without a stable floor to land on.

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

Begging scientists (and media posts about science) to stop using ChatGPT-generated images

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life
