The widespread use of low income / developing countries to try and clean up the darkest corners of our hideous social media with armies of poorly paid mistreated moderators is going to be looked back on as barbaric as fuck … just awful

the argument over wether social media restrictions will “work” as in be enforceable is not the issue. The starting point for us as a society is to make it 1000% clear that we know that this technology is dangerous, addictive as fck and children should be nowhere near it. Then we go from there.

Data centres using as much energy as London. Exploitation of workers and the working class. A total lack of democracy in something set to change all our lives. Tony Blair says we should all embrace AI now. AI expert Karen Hao says he's wrong on every level www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

The chilling truth about the AI industry | The News Agents

Tony Blair says we have no choice but to let AI into our lives. Journalist and author Karen Hao says he’s wrong, and we should be more concerned about the industry’s unchecked growth.

@theguardian.com please stop gassing up Elon the tech con man “the mega-rocket that CEO Elon Musk is building to get people to Mars one day” no one really knows if this is actually possible anytime soon and the idea of colonies on Mars is kind of bullshit

Maybe we need to stop using the term big tech to describe Google / Meta etc It implies that they are all about great technology, so you’re anti technology if you’re anti big tech. A better term would be capitalist tech or something.

If every single audience member of a full capacity o2 arena crowd gave you 1 million quid you would still only have half the wealth of the UKs richest family

Am I the only producer for whom any product trumpeting “AI Powered” is a total turn off? I know that’s poss a bit dumb of me, jus don’t like the black box idea of inputting one thing and getting another with no idea what went on in the black box.
