“What is most important, however, is to affirm that AI is different. … It is another form of intelligence with a mindset all its own, and there is zero evidence that it views humanity’s well-being and survival as a priority.” wtf is left media doing echoing this cultist doomerism?

funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
At the very least, this should be under Alto, if not VIA Rail itself. It makes no sense to farm this out to a private operator when there’s already an entity working on high-speed rail on the other obvious HSR corridor.

“That’s what shareholders expect — and they’ll be penalized if they’re not doing like their peers.” I spoke to @cnet.com about why Nvidia is doing big share buybacks and why its new AI security system is designed to capitalize on recent doomer narratives.

“Does it make sense to be giving that electricity over to data centres when there might be better ways that it can be used?” I spoke to CBC News to explain why data centres likely won’t be a good fit for Newfoundland and Labrador.
AI data centres in N.L.? The door is ‘open for business,’ says energy minister | CBC News
The provincial government has been approached by companies looking to develop AI data centres. Energy Minister Lloyd Parrott says the province is open for business, though some experts urge caution.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.
The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

The lie that privatization will reduce wait times is already being exposed, but that won’t stop political leaders from continuing to try to destroy our public healthcare system.

shouldn’t it be the US that gets isolated in this case?
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 2d ago"We will continue to isolate Iran so that they re-open the Strait of Hormuz, which is so essential to tackling the cost of living crisis here at home" Do we have any idea what happened to make them close it?

This is an important thread. Honestly had no idea this was even a thing (very very bad one too). Worth a quick read to see how the tech bros are trying to use obfuscation through misdirection to try to make sure the public doesn't really know the kind of harm that AI actually can cause.

I could not put it better...
Paris Marx@parismarx.com · 5d agoThe tech industry has learning that overhyping the threat of its products is great PR. It leads to tons of free press, and now it’s allowing them to shape the regulatory discussion of their products — while distracting from the real ways people are being harmed today disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...
“Our product is dangerous because it’s so good. So we have to slow down because if it gets too good, it can kill us all. That’s how good it is.” And people are straight up buying this bullshit? I feel like I’m living in crazy world when I hear anything on the news about ai

Paris nails it. I’m so infuriated by gov’t inaction and lack of concern for real world harms. These assholes don’t care and can’t be trusted.
