“We were supposed to be the ones who were preventing a lot of these abuses,” said a former Palantir employee. “We seem to be enabling them.” www.wired.com/story/palant...

ASU's new AI tool cannibalizes nuanced, thoughtful faculty lectures into sound bites and chatbot junk text: www.404media.co/asu-atomic-a...

Last night @carnage4life.bsky.social accused me of helping perpetuate negative myths about AI. I hate when people perpetuate negative myths about AI, so this thread will be about the very many real harms committed using AI by Dare's employer Meta. 1/

If anyone thought LLMs would actually get to AGI this clause would still exist, just sayin www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Wild that Google had this paper pulled off DeepMind letterhead but also there's a reason I keep asking people if language is the same as intelligence -- it obviously is not. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social laid it out for us last year! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

I am in the courtroom for Musk v Altman. You can follow along here: www.theverge.com/tech/917225/...

from jurors' questionnaires: "Elon Musk is a greedy, racist, homophobic piece of garbage." "Elon Musk is a world-class jerk." "I very much dislike Tesla. As a woman of color, I am very aware of the damaging statements and actions Elon Musk has enacted and been a part of."

Idk about weed but my hunch is that what people are calling "AI psychosis" is indeed just undiagnosed schizophrenia finding a willing outlet

A scientist at Google DeepMind published a paper that goes argues LLMs will never be sentient, going against the company's narrative on the power of AI www.404media.co/google-deepm...

all this tells me is that we should have gone for 25 percent instead

"Yes, we might be in the middle of wars, but the climate crisis takes no break either."

Move over MacBook, IKEA has entered the chat with the PäronBok.

The number of people who are using AI to represent themselves in court appears to be skyrocketing and it's not clear how the courts are going to handle this load if it continues www.404media.co/people-using...

I’ve been using the Steam Controller for more than two weeks, and it's really good. My review: www.theverge.com/games/918610...

The White House Correspondents’ Association should state publicly whether or not they would ever hold their dinner at the White House. If not, it instantly ends the absurd national security talking point for the ballroom project being pressed so hard right now.

Accessibility is hard. Setting mom’s new phone up and at the larger text sizes you can’t read what you’re supposed to say to Siri so you can’t progress 🥲

the cat is once again the snuggliest friendliest girl. my ice cream is unrelated I'm sure

I feel like this is one of those moments that redefines what it means to be human

had my annual hearing test today and it is official: i have profound hearing loss in both ears. i am (lowercase) deaf. i knew this day was coming, i just hoped not so soon. i’m devastated tbh. but i’m not unprepared. i’ll have more on this soon but for now i’m gonna log off and just process.

Apparently most spiders you capture with a cup and let outside just die, and the thing to do is to ignore them as much as possible and hope they eat the other bugs in the house

Crazy threads tend to happen on travel days, I'm sure a lot of people can relate... I want to clarify that I still believe in the potential of Meta to build a better world. Whenever I feel called to challenge their actions, from my perspective it is motivated by equal parts of love and hate.

Have any burning questions about the Steam Controller? Come ask @cameronfaulkner.bsky.social and I, we'll be in the comments in 10 minutes!

the ai i have invented is useful for fixing the problems that another ai has created in trying to fix the problems of a third ai so send me all of ur money pls and ty

The union representing Apple Store employees from a soon-to-be-closed location in Maryland filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the company of illegally discriminating against the shop’s staff. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

a tidy modern psychological horror is opening my work computer on a monday and seeing everyone's projected thoughts from friday in side-by-side @deck.blue columns, three days old but somehow 100 years away from the dramas of a new week

The latest from @maxboot.bsky.social:

i will get your data, government agencies. it’s just a matter of time.

I think the readership is increasingly more siloed and if you don't understand who it is who read your books or books like yours, you'll find yourself doing things that don't really work for your readership. Like I know people who read primarily white people will never pick up a Korean translation.

"We've ​changed this country, and there are ⁠a lot of people that are not happy about that," Trump said Saturday night. The assassination attempt is Trump's proof that his agenda is registering — and the power of his presidency is expanding. 🔗: Latest @reuters.com: www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

i inherently don’t trust anyone who says their technology will make a breakthrough in a certain timeframe. that’s not how breakthroughs typically work: on a schedule.

I’m going to take the bold, brave stance that TRUTH/LIES [6/6] is too hard when playing solo. Is it *possible* solo? Yes. I’ve *almost* done it myself, many times! I’ve been within 40 seconds of doing it! I can see that it’s possible. But it is not calibrated well. /cc @marathonthegame.bungie.net
