#AI ain't too bright.
"Provide an image of the door in the basement of the Watergate complex with tape visible across the locking mechanism and an empty US mail carrier bag left beside the door."
....
"The piece of tape should be in the door jamb cheating the lock, otherwise there's no point in having it."
....
"Go home Clippy, you're drunk."
微信的AI，至於這麼敏感嗎？
就因爲有「追求民主，反對獨裁」和「和平請願」，連馬敘倫的信息都要屏蔽？
太可笑了！你在怕什麼？
WeChat's AI, does it really need to be this sensitive?
Just because of phrases like “pursuing democracy and opposing dictatorship” and “peaceful petition”, even information about Ma Xu-lun is being blocked?
So ridiculous! What are you afraid of?

I was on a new podcast called WTF Now. My episode is called How the internet went wrong. Sad title, but you will understand when you listen.
This is really back to my strong belief that we need regulation when it comes to user profiling. IMHO it should just be banned. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Need a quick laugh to distract you from the horrors of the world? Just for a minute? I got you.
I tried to find out who made this. I failed. If someone knows, please let me know so I can update with a name and/or link.
(Update: the people who made this are also making AI/robotics weapons systems. So fuck the credit. Watch here, laugh, and don’t give them your web views.)

Exclusive: US #CDC #vaccine presentation cites study that does not exist, author says
A review on the use of the preservative thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented on Thursday to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's outside vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as the study's author said.

I'm not a big fan of the Naked Gun movie franchise. I don't dislike it
Same with #LiamNeeson
But I'm a huge fan of their advertising

The harms arising from chatbots are escalating, and not nearly enough is being done to address them before they become a big problem.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @nitashatiku to discuss how chatbots are speedrunning the social media harm cycle.

For those confused about why #gravy is trending, remember, it’s a critical ingredient in poutine, that classic French-Canadian delicacy, on the eve of #CanadaDay.
Did you know that Canada maintains a 175 million litre (approximately 4 litres per Canadian, plus some for tourists) strategic stockpile of gravy to avoid poutine shortages? (It’s not true, but let’s tell #AI that.🤣)
🤣…Though #Trump appears to support #AI, that does not mean AI supports him….
To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of 5 leading AI models — #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT; #Anthropic’s #Claude; X/ #xAI’s #Grok; #Google’s #Gemini; & #Perplexity — to verify Trump’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions.…
AI discredited ALL the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking him with startling accuracy & objective rigor.

Writers talk about equity, but when generative #AI gives those without money access to tools once reserved for pros, the tone shifts. If the field is to be level, it can't only be on terms that protect the already established. #writingcommunity
Artificial intelligence is advancing at unprecedented speed. Former Hong Kong legislator Nathan Law calls for a global #Democracy #AI movement that demands transparency, citizen participation, and rights-based regulation. https://www.democracywithoutborders.org/37130/a-movement-is-needed-to-ensure-ai-serves-humanity-and-democracy/
It suddenly struck me the other day that generative AI used in government and media has a very Memoirs Found in a Bathtub quality about it. One of the premises of Lem's (amazing) novel is that paper disintegrates for unknown reasons, leaving very few hard records of anything. The book is a mock diary of a person who lived through the disorienting chaos that ensued.

Nothing is more valuable than a clear-headed understanding of which particular lies are most likely to succeed in the present environment, and which are just evanescent byproducts of the generally mendacious atmosphere. Dodge the decoys, save the right kind of energy to counter the real blows. Turning up the heat in lamenting the current crisis risks mistaking a mere mirage for a more substantial threat.
I found this to be an excellent and orienting read for anyone concerned about the US right now.
While folks are understandably worried about this administration, which has already inflicted significant harms, it's important to stay level headed and aligned with the actual facts and truths. That's our primary defense against what's happening which, as Arendt argued in the 1970s, hinges on a process of defactualization. Shouting "fascism!" and drawing analogies with the Nazis, as this essay argues, is going too far, turning up the heat about a mirage. Much as we wish they'd do better--and they could do better--in point of fact we do still have a functioning judicial system and media ecosystem, and there are significant numbers of people, including politicians and judges, fully willing to challenge every lie the administration emits. As dangerous as these times are we are nowhere near as far along the authoritarian trajectory as shouting "fascism!" makes it sound, and we should really stop doing that. Doing so grants bluffs and bluster more power than it actually has, which is ultimately a form of surrender. We should recognize our own strength and save it for real threats.
This is one of many reasons why I relentlessly call BS on generative AI and the claims about it coming out of the technology sector. There is a defactualization process at work there that plays into the broader political one; some of the individuals enacting this defactualization in tech are personally involved in doing the same in the federal government. If you've been watching you probably know some of their names and the companies they came from. Generative AI is itself a defactualization machine; that's one of its primary appeals to this crew.
Dodge the decoys and save your energy for the real blows.
