how to calm down

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website*

I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

“The playing field is poised to become a lot more competitive, and businesses that don’t deploy cocaine to help them innovate in everything they do will be at a disadvantage,” says Paul Daugherty, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Accenture.

Hey, it works!

@washingtonian.com's excellent piece reminded me about another billionaire dreamer’s hyperloop boondoggle that also ended in dismal, entirely foreseeable failure.

New from 404 Media: we've confirmed cops are buying access to GeoSpy, an AI that can geolocate photos in seconds. Doesn't use metadata, but clues in the photo like soil, architecture, to pinpoint where social media photos taken. Being used in investigations www.404media.co/cops-are-buy...

The near-term danger isn’t that AI will be smarter than most humans or even particularly good at what it’s asked to do, Williams says. It’s that it will be significantly less expensive than paying people — or at least offer that promise. “In many cases, cheaper and worse is just fine for a lot of people who are worried about the cheaper and not the quality at all,” he says. It’s a very real and serious possibility that AI will be adopted widely “specifically to, in fact, try to save on labor … ‘save on labor’ being a euphemistic way of saying, ‘fire a whole lot of people.’”

Maybe take seriously the idea that the people at the levers of implementation will try it even if it's *not actually any good*.

This Day in Labor History: February 11, 1937. The Flint Sit-Down strike ended after General Motors recognized the United Auto Workers at the bargaining agent for GM employees. This legitimized the CIO, ushering in the nation’s great period of industrial unionism. But soon, sit-downs would be illegal

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Via WV News, “Gov. Patrick Morrisey speaks at a podium in the Meadowbrook Mall Tuesday regarding his proposed income tax cuts.” The sign on his lectern contains a misspelling of the word Virginia, leaving out the third letter I.

Third “𝐈” blind.

What did you think of them? Their take tastes good, but I still prefer the ones made by Country Club Bakery in Fairmont.

If they can do this to find a dog, they can do this to find anyone. That’s terrifying.

MTV Is Still Alive. So Why Does Everyone Think It Shut Down Last Week? Our ability to tell fact from fiction—even when the facts are right in front of you—is nearly gone. This is not going to end well.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a corridor on the Enterprise. Two non series regular crew members are standing behind Spock in a bodyguard stance. (Tough guy bodyguard vibe, not Kevin Coster/Whitney Houston bodyguard vibe). Spock is wearing a dress uniform with extra flair, medals, and pins, a golden sash, and has a goatee. He's looking at Kirk, who seems a bit cocky and is wearing a glittery fancy gold sleeveless uniform. Closed caption reads, "Terror must be maintained or the empire is doomed."
