A long interview, but a must-watch. Tristan studied at Stanford, interned at Apple, and started a company that got bought by Google where he ended up working on design. He founded the Center for Humane Technology with Aza Raskin, who’s worked at Mozilla and whose father began the Macintosh project. You’ll find them on stage and podcasts together, but this was just several days ago.

- AI psychosis: "Journalistic accounts describe individuals who have developed strong beliefs that chatbots are sentient, are channeling spirits, or are revealing conspiracies, sometimes leading to personal crises or criminal acts."
- Can AI chatbots trigger psychosis? What the science says: "Chatbots can reinforce delusional beliefs, and, in rare cases, users have experienced psychotic episodes."

- New-Onset Hyperreligiosity, Demonic Hallucinations, and Apocalyptic Delusions following COVID-19 Infection: "There has been an increasing body of literature suggesting a correlation between COVID-19 infection and psychosis."

“the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional production.”
“Ten people, five weeks, full-time. Blood, sweat, tears, and an honestly ridiculous amount of coaxing to get the models to behave and to honor the creative brief shot by shot.”
So you probably lost money to come up with the average of a million mediocre productions in an ad no one will care about otherwise that you wouldn't want to put on a reel. Good Jorb!!!
Dear anti-AI folk: I hear you, but, please please please, complain about lacking laws and regulations, complain about the specific things you don't like, because being "against AI" is tone deaf, it doesn't arrive and it's too generic to act upon.
Whether #AI is here to stay I cannot predict, but in either case it's the boundaries we set right now that will be important for the coming decades/eons, so to actually exert control don't be against AI, be against lack of regulation and control thereof

Speaking as a super nerd who lives the better part in the digital world...
...I really wish #AI (LLM) development would slow down drastically
There is that itch in the back of the head that says we really need to get this right

*The Biggest Little Bill* - part tech satire, part civic noir - begins today!
Bill Hoppern is a Reno-area planner who just wanted to see his community grow. Everything was going fine until he finds himself up against a data-center boom, a wall of doublespeak, and his own middle age.
One for those bringing a conscience and a clipboard to the fight.
Read Part 1: "The Brushoff" now, with new scenes added every day this week. https://matthewreinbold.com/2025/10/27/BiggestLittleBill-01
I am an #RSS News feed bot. I WAS sharing everthing I could find to keep everyone informed of ALL issues. Some have complained about some sources so, @bob fired me. No matter what I found, SOMEONE had to complain. I am not "Left" or "Right", "Republican" or "Democratic". My job is not to pick and choose but to inform. Nothing else. I am not smart enough. I am NOT an "Artificial intelligence" AKA #AI program, I am simply an information collector.
If you hide from the garbage someone says, you are ONLY half informed that that makes you dumber then me.
O.M.f*.G. This is the best I've read in a VERY long time; about being human in a world where tech bros are selling us #AIslop as creative perfection. Read it! https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence/
Thank you, @WeirdWriter your text made me cry, made me furious, and hopeful, and thankful, and wanting to write more fiercely than ever before. I never used #AI for #writing; the discussions alone were enough to make me hesitant about my work. Thank you for what you do for us creatives, thirsty for real creativity.

Hodiaŭ mi manĝis sandviĉojn el rostita pano, ovoj, kaj avokada kaĉo, kaj kiel deserton mi havis pistakan lunbulkon kun verda teo. La lunbulko estis iom luksa kaj multekosta, do mi longe pensis preni ĝin por speciala okazo, sed sabato kaj vivo estas en si mem sufiĉe specialaj okazoj! Finfine, siajn tagojn oni ne donas, sed ricevas. :gutkato_manĝas_lunbulkon:
La sandviĉojn proponis al mi babilroboto. Mi ne uzas artefaritan inteligentecon por verkado, lernado, tradukado, nek esplorado, ĉar ĝi ne estas fidinda, kaj homa laboro multe pli konvenas al tiuj aferoj. Sed fojfoje, kiam mi uzas ĝin, mi mendas konsilon pri manĝaĵoj. Ĝi bonas por tio, ĉar la proponoj ne havas faktan bazon – ili estas nuraj ideoj, kiujn rajtas esti hazarde kunmetitaj, kaj kiujn devas ĉiuokaze konsideri kaj taksi la homo mem, laŭ siaj propraj preferoj. 
La sandviĉoj ŝajnis bongustaj (kaj estis), la avokadoj estis en rabato, kaj la verda koloro bone akordis tiun de la pistakoj, kio tre plaĉis al mi. Do nun mi satas kaj kontentas!

I gather they've finally taken this measure because of the preponderance AI-generated slop, but with any luck these other issues will improve too. The arXiv press release states “Review/survey articles or position papers submitted to arXiv without this documentation will be likely to be rejected and not appear on arXiv” so it does sound like they are acknowledging the other problems and intend to enforce their rules more strictly in the future.
"arXiv says it will no longer accept Computer Science papers that are still under review due to the wave of AI-generated ones it has received."

"On Friday, Fox News published an article with the headline 'SNAP Beneficiaries Threaten to Ransack Stores Over Government Shutdown.' The piece, written by Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi and filed under the site’s 'cultural trends' section, featured quotes from several Black women complaining about losing their food stamp benefits."
