Maybe if Trump could speak coherently and stop trying to justify his Iran War that raised prices on thousands of things for Americans with apocalyptic fear mongering and garbled syntax he wouldn’t have to worry about being misinterpreted or taken out of context.

Content warning: Trump. Yeah, I know. I'm tired of reading about him too. But this is a stunning illustration of just how much his brain is basically Jell-O at this point.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

We can rein in generative AI, the companies behind it, and the harms it causes. But that requires actually wanting to understand the impacts it’s having today, not allowing ourselves to be led astray by people who benefit from lying to us and disrupting regulation. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

All those harms are not nearly as simple of a story nor one as sensational as telling people that AI might kill us all in ten years or so. But it’s irresponsible not to be focusing on it more because those are all the ways AI is really harming people today, and how they’ll continue to well into the future if AI companies and the executives that lead them are not brought to heel as soon as possible. Generative AI and the harms it causes are not inevitable. AI superintelligence is nothing more than a science fiction story that increasingly delusional and disconnected tech people are telling themselves. We can act to rein in the real harms of AI today, but that means not falling for the targeted deception of an industry trying to avoid regulation and finally holding them accountable for the widespread consequences we’ve all had to shoulder in their pursuit of power and profit.

7. "some people find LLMs useful" is a different claim than any of the following: a) LLMs are good at doing the things people use them for b) LLMs are well suited to the tasks for which they are advertised c) LLMs "can do" something

See, *this* is a real threat to humanity from AI. Surely lessons will be learned from this and the use of genAI as battlefield tools will be scaled back as a result. HA! Who am I kidding? We're screwed. 😬

The U.S. military swung into action to intercept a Chinese ship after an “entirely false” AI-generated intelligence report inaccurately identified what the vessel was carrying It also “almost started a war,” a source told CNN.

this!!! scroll up and down and read the entire thread too. it explains how "rogue agents" or "loss of control" come down to human incompetence

"Slowing down," then, doesn't necessarily mean literally slowing down AI production. It means making sure your testing environments are actually secure, that your agents have fail safes built in, and that admin access to critical systems isn't guarded by a plain text 4 letter password.
