It's interesting (*) to me how sex robot/sex chatbot vendors pivot to classrooms and students in a climate where the so-called grownups in the room are regularly screaming about CSAM and introducing all manner of surveillance in response.
(*) I'm using "interesting" as a tepid stand-in for a mix of emotions I'd prefer not expressing here.

There will be those who won't know or care until the bullshit bites them in the ass personally, and until then "AI is awesome!"

How do we dream our way to a different future when #AI is accelerating us toward the 6th mass extinction?
Is there any hope amidst the narratives of inevitability and the despair they provoke?

My local super market is selling "AI screened" water melons that, apparently, offer a 100% good taste guarantee, or you get your money back.
I hate this timeline we're in.

"Dark Hours" is probably one of the first public smoking gun cases of a complete app (including the name) being copy/pasted by Claude Code and getting the "AI-enhanced" developer into trouble.
Godier did a good job in the aftermath by taking the app down and apologizing, but people really need to understand that "AI code" comes from somewhere and that somewhere is usually someone else's hard, copyrighted work.

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham on SpaceX and AI: "we should wish that it’s hype, because if it’s not, it’s a lot worse."

There’s an AI “meeting transcription and summary tool” for video meetings at my workplace that comes with a disclaimer that it should not be used if anyone does not consent.
I never consent.
Last time I said I didn’t want to use the tool in a meeting with a group of people I’m new to meeting, the meeting organizer asked “may I know why?” and I responded “Because I don’t consent,” and gave a blank stare. The organizer was visibly annoyed.
This is a pattern with all these AI tools. Non-consent is perceived as an annoyance. The people refusing to use AI are perceived as the problem, not the AI tool. Consent is an inconvenience, not a right to be respected.

Another bizarre Grok Korean translation involving Tomodachi Life 🫠
Despite Grok embarrassing the company on a global scale with sex-themed translations involving the game, no one has added a parameter to Grok that 친모아 (Chin-mo-a) does not mean stepmother, it means Tomodachi Life.
A 🧵 on what happened and why these translation fails are actually important...
