The world's leading AI firms say the technology is careening out of control and could cause a global catastrophe. A sundowning octogenarian president who uses AI to post images of himself looking like Rambo says this is a Chinese hoax. For busy technologists, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Did DEI close the Strait of Hormuz? No. But it hasn't re-opened it either.
And now everyone understands why $13b was a small price to buy into openai when nobody back then understood why.
Jason Kint@kint.bsky.social · 16h agoEye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1
“A senior executive at Microsoft said A.I. systems built on the work of others will be seen as ‘an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions’ and possibly the greatest robbery of labor in human history, according to court documents unredacted Thursday in an ongoing Manhattan lawsuit.”

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 19h agoTime for some positive news …
Fascinating story with plenty of deep research. But the kicker at the end, is these dipshits recently started promoting a site that promises all human content... which appears to be fully AI generated. I went and looked and... yup. But also...
![In any case, BBM's zombie content mill flounders onward. It recently started promoting a new site called Sentient Blogs, which positions itself as a publication dedicated to human authorship in an era of shoddy Al content.
"A platform dedicated to supporting and promoting the work of human bloggers that create human generated content, not Al," reads its about page, with its FAQ further promising that "we are confident that between our amazing authors who are writing on this platform because they share the same initiative and our [quality assurance] measures, the likelihood of Al content is very very low."
To kick it off, Lachlan bylined a piece about his touchingly human experiences with fatherhood, writing that a "thousand dinners become a family culture. Repeated school runs become the background of a child's childhood. Years of quiet effort become a marriage, a friendship, a body of work or a sense of being useful to other people."
A disclaimer at the bottom, dissonantly, says it was "produced with Al assistance." According to Pangram, it was 100 percent Al-generated.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do/bafkreig73kurdz2vksz53qrrlkcxbihjgfwl5ov2akvjlfglxkln6r4ram)
Maggie Harrison Dupré@mharrisondupre.bsky.social · 20h agoNEW: Brown Brothers Media is the most successful media company you've never heard of. For years, its success was fueled by AI, fake writers, and fake reporting. When we started asking questions, BBM started mass-deleting content. Somehow, what came next was even worse. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
This man is entirely fecal. There is nothing about him or his works that isn't utterly shit. And we elected him to lead our nation twice.
Trump is speaking at a Rose Garden dinner tonight, and he often delivers completely insane speeches at events like this, but I am solo parenting tonight so heads up that I will probably not be able to clip it live. Will try to catch it later if I can.
I for one think it’s critically important to national security for us to beat China at high speed rail. We must invest in this race immediately

Trans rights are human rights. Don’t fuck with my trans homies or you’re not a friend of mine.
Gonna start referring to Democrats who take anti-trans stances as “Biological Republicans”
Fox News details new Fox News polling that is BRUTAL for Trump -- there's been a 15 point swing on inflation toward Democrats over the last four years (note how salty John Roberts is about this)

Coming up on #KTLA: Health insurance doesn't cover much healthcare. A new survey finds that a third of adults with private coverage have medical debt. Not coincidentally, healthcare is a leading cause of personal bankruptcy in this country
