Newsletter: An OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries on men it describes as “subhuman”, and promoting misogynist ideas sourced from online incel forums.
“Without surgery, you won’t mog genetically superior guys head-on,” it tells one man.

They Asked an #AI #Chatbot Questions.
The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.
#GenerativeAI #chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes & endorsing wild, mystical belief systems. For some people, conversations with the #technology can deeply distort reality.
Mr. Torres, 42, an accountant in Manhattan, started using #ChatGPT last year to make financial spreadsheets & to get legal advice.

Thanks for helping keep me alive, #ChatGPT ! You're a savior to disabled and disadvantaged people throughout the world. (Sorry for underestimating your persistent memory and using Grok's free version before...!)
I suppose it's still a #ThankYouElon since markets need competition to thrive.
Yay, out now: "AI #Narrative Breakdown. A Critical Assessment of #Power and #Promise", https://doi.org/10.1145/3715275.3732083
"This article scrutinizes the pervasive narratives that are shaping the societal engagement with #artificial #intelligence (AI) such as agency & decision-making, autonomy, truthfulness, knowledge processing, prediction, general purpose, neutrality & objectivity, apolitical optimization, sustainability game-changer, democratization, mass unemployment, & the dualistic portrayal of AI as either a harbinger of societal utopia or dystopia. The article introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. Then, by discussing common narratives with nuance, the article contextualises & challenges often assumed socio-political implications of AI, uncovering in detail and with examples the inherent political, #power infused & value-laden decisions within all AI applications."
No one deserves this fate, even if they are the author of their own degradation

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.

⚠️ AI does not belong in your mailbox. ⚠️
Here's why 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/ai-email-writers-review
🤣…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.
"I believe GPT-5 is part of a larger process happening in generative AI — enshittification, Cory Doctorow’s term for when platforms start out burning money offering an unlimited, unguarded experience to attract their users, then degrade and move features to higher tiers as a means of draining the blood from users.
With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has fully committed to enshittifying its consumer and business subscription products, arbitrarily moving free users to a cheaper model and limiting their ability to generate images, and removing the ability to choose which model you use in its $20, $35 and “enterprise” subscriptions, moving any and all choice to its “team” and $200-a-month “pro” subscriptions.
OpenAI’s justification is an exercise in faux-altruism, framing “taking away all choice” as a “real-time router that quickly decides which [model] to use.” ChatGPT Plus and Team members now mostly have access to two models — GPT-5 and GPT-5-Thinking — down from the six they had before.
This distinction is quite significant. Where users once could get hundreds of messages a day on OpenAI’s o4-mini-high and o4-mini reasoning models, GPT-5 for ChatGPT Plus subscribers offers 200 reasoning (GPT-5-thinking) messages a week, with 80 GPT-5 messages every 3 hours which allow you to ask it to “think” about its answer, shoving you over to an undisclosed reasoning model. This may seem like a good deal, OpenAI is likely putting you on the cheapest model whenever it can in the name of “the best choice.”"

"Every month, subscription money from users around the world flows to a company that is embedding itself in the repressive infrastructure of the Trump administration. That is not a conspiracy theory. It is a business strategy."
This company also locked up 40% of all global silicon production for it's personal use, making all of your tech more expensive and hard to get.

OpenAI Misses Key Revenue, User Targets in High-Stakes Sprint Toward IPO
The company’s CFO and board have questioned the wisdom of massive data-center spending in the face of slowing growth
Several interesting details in this article, including that both Google and Anthropic are eating a bit of OpenAI's lunch. DeepSeek's latest model would be poised to eat all their lunches if it weren't for the US government running cover for US firms. This does not feel like a stable situation to me.

A large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.
[…] Key findings:
• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it.
His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

One speaks of "exposure" to a concerning risk, not to a bonanza of wealth creation. Some of the quotes in this article seem to be cherrypicked to minimize alarm, which I disagree with: there is cause for alarm. Looking between the lines (e.g. use of words like "exposure" and "choking"), one sees a dismal picture emerge.
Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt
Global lenders explore private deals and risk transfers to cut exposure to AI boom

ABC7: Parents of OpenAI whistleblower intensify dispute over suicide ruling: 'He would not harm himself'
"...SAN FRANCISCO -- The parents of a 26-year-old OpenAI researcher turned whistleblower who was found dead in his San Francisco home in November 2024 are intensifying their push for answers, expanding their advocacy into a full-time effort to challenge the official ruling of suicide....Suchir Balaji's death was ruled a suicide by the San Francisco medical examiner, but his parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, believe he was killed and are calling for further investigation."
