"Regulating #AI hastens the #Antichrist, says #Palantir’s Peter #Thiel
#Tech #billionaire claims in a lecture about #religion that the #devil promises #peace and #safety by strangling #technological #progress with #regulation"
Oh fuck you you fucking wackjob
But of course, he has vast power, we do not
While we struggle with terrible conflicts today, this asshole sets up the next, more horrible one
This is the single best explanation (long!) I've read about why LLMs are a con. Great piece from @baldur.
The first thing I said to the person who suggested to me that human brains might be directly hooked to a computer, whenever that was, was "everyone will go insane immediately". I still believe that, but now we're beginning to see evidence.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel says AI will help scientists understand "most diseases" in three to five years.
@Semafor quotes the executive: “The reason we still have people dying of cancer, people suffering from Alzheimer's, is we do not understand the fundamental biology of those diseases.”

AI will take over the world. Really? We are being distracted from the real problems

I may have created a new term.
Worksloppage (noun): The phenomenon where productivity actually halts or decreases because you're spending time sorting through, editing, or fixing AI-generated content rather than creating original work. A portmanteau of "work" + "slop" + "stoppage."
Wrote down some thoughts on Apple AI and a small wishlist for WWDC.

AI slop is threatening journalism by churning out clickbaity versions of original stories, capturing web traffic, and destroying readers' trust in media. NiemanLab's Ben Paviour takes a look at how it's proliferating, with the help of Google.

Saturday we got one of the Symbolics LISP Machines up and running along side the Thinking Machines Connection Machine.
would you like to help us and learn more?
My honest take on AI: I am not entirely against it, I’ve seen AIs that can do good things that are powered by renewable resources, but we need strong regulation and we need to ban anyone that profits off of AI “art”. AI art can be cool for personal use such as wallpapers or avis if you don’t profit off of it or excessively promote it on your social media. I believe AI can be useful, but that is only if it is in the hands of co-ops and the general population, not corporations. #AI #aiart

Another article about the dangers of AI (with sources this time)
Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia
You would think the obvious solution to "the volunteer-powered project we all train our AI models on for free isn't adequately twisting reality to our political views" would be "... and so we stopped training on it" and not "... and so we will force the volunteers to bend to our will"

#Trump posted a crude, #AI video insulting & mocking the #Democratic congressional leaders Monday night, hours after meeting with them to discuss the #GovernmentShutdown.
The #deepfake video superimposed a cartoon mustache & sombrero over Rep #HakeemJeffries of New York, who was pictured standing silently while Mariachi music played & the voice of Senator #ChuckSchumer was distorted to deliver expletive-laden remarks that included the line, “Nobody likes Democrats anymore.”
For a lighter take on AI, may I recommend Asimov's "The Machine That Won the War" (1961, about 2k words).

Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people.
And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off.
Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts.
Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public transport. Universities. Roads projects. Mental health services. Welfare payments.
People literally went homeless or starved, so rich people could get tax cuts.
Because the wealth would trickle down.
Eventually the eroding of public goods caused social dislocation.
So governments further cut those public goods to fund more police and prisons. To continue giving tax cuts to rich people.
But they said the wealth would trickle down.
Eventually the climate started changing because of the amount of toxic fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere.
So governments chose to keep the tax cuts rather than fund infrastructure to reduce emissions.
(Many of those billionaires getting tax cuts made their money selling toxic fossil fuels.)
And as the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the bushfires, droughts, hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and droughts got worse.
But they said the wealth would trickle down.
Eventually people were getting pissed off at the dire state of the world.
The rich misdirected that anger at immigrants!
And First Nations!
And trans people!
And neurodivergent people!
Anyone but the billionaires who got the tax cuts.
So governments chose to keep the tax cuts. (For the rich. Everyone else got new tariff taxes.)
But they said the wealth would trickle down.
So did the wealth trickle down?
Well...
A group of billionaires saw this kinda cool tech demo.
It predicted the next pixel of an image, based on the colour patterns of every image on the internet.
It also predicted the next word in a sentence, based on an analysis of every piece of writing on the internet.
The rich decided that this clearly showed that a sentient computer was just around the corner.
The problem was these tech demos needed servers with a lot of GPUs to work.
So the rich took all the money they got from those tax cuts.
And they bought GPUs.
Millions and millions and millions and millions of GPUs.
All the tax cuts? All the underfunded schools? All the draconian welfare cuts? All the public housing shortages? The delays in funding clean energy.
In the end, it didn't trickle down.
And instead of all the public goods it could have bought...
...We'll be left with millions and millions and millions of GPUs in a landfill.
