so we just nearly started a war with china (a nuclear state) because of genAI use

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode.
According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was "entirely false." But it also "almost started a war," the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

Brett Codes @brettcodes.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

Something instead of nothing

Page 2: Later, the main zookeeper is in a dark room filled with TVs displaying security footage of the zoo animals. He is soaking wet in a raincoat, staring solemnly at the screen which shows the chimpanzee. The zookeeper reaches down to press a large red button on the desk beneath the screen display.

Page 3: from inside the chimpanzee exhibit, we see the security gate open. The chimpanzee wander through and exits the building to a dark, rainy street corner. He extends his arms and lets the rain fall onto him.

Page 4: the chimpanzee is in the backseat of a cab, driving somewhere else in the city at night. The final panel is the chimpanzee at checkout in a grocery store with a huge pile of bananas. The clerk looks mildly shocked.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a wraith with a long scythe floats over a reflective pool on a surreal, desolate landscape with many moons. There are two guys in sunglasses looking at him blankly. The wraith solemnly says to the guys, “welcome… to the edge of eternity.” Panel 2: one of the guys is taking a photo on his phone of the other guy, who is smiling and posed in front of the landscape, giving a chill “hang loose” 🤙 hand signal. Both of the dudes are wearing fanny packs and the one posing for the picture is wearing a Messi Argentina jersey. The wraith, looking mildly annoyed, says, “stop that.”

Google search result for “is it 2027 next year.” The top result is a quote that reads, “It is 2026 right now, and will be 2028 next year, followed by 2027.”

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social. theonion.com/at-long-last...

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website.

The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

Weird thing for him to say, given that his books are political. There's always a theme of the importance of global cooperation and investment in science and exploration in the face of modern problems. That's a political message.
