The more we make humans machine-readable, the closer capitalism comes to its end goal of fully treating humans like machines

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

The asylum hotel protests in particular are reflective of a deeper malaise in U.K. society. When the rich are spending £20,000 on a haircut in Mayfair, while 15 million people are living in poverty, something has gone terribly wrong.

Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

China shuts down AI tools during nationwide college exams New age problems require new age solutions.

"We can't ban AI" they keep saying — "China will surpass us" they keep saying... I mean they surely surpass us in taking education seriously: www.theverge.com/news/682737/...

Once you make your first billion you should be immediately forced to retire from public life. You've more than enough money to spend the rest of your days on holiday or in the pub so just do that instead.

The world's wealthiest 10% are responsible for two thirds of observed global warming since 1990.

This alone should be enough reason to want to ban #AI #saynotoerasingpluralism

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Governments are elected to represent the people. Not private equity companies. Not hedge funds. Not foreign sovereign wealth funds and the dictatorships controlling them. But somehow that memo went down the back of Labour's sofa.

We were coming rather late to this, but what a beautiful movie #theballadofwallisisland

For the first time, a council makes four-day week permanent South Cambridgeshire becomes the UK’s first council to make a four-day working week on full salary permanent for staff

First council in the country.
Big savings, better recruitment, happier staff – and services still delivered five days a week.
The four-day week just got serious.

Ofwat to be abolished as ministers look to create new water regulator Move follows intense criticism of utilities over sewage spills, shareholder payouts and ballooning debts

England water regulator OFWAT to be abolished.

Rearranging the deckchairs alone won't do.

Must bring water into public ownership.

Need employee & customer elected directors on company boards; workers/customers must have right to vote on exec pay.

Must hold failed Ministers to account.

The conditions around BP's new proposed project, Kaskida, could make it more dangerous than Deepwater Horizon. BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster spilled 4.9 million barrels of oil. Kaskida would be in greater depths, where equipment would have to withstand higher pressures and temperatures.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

#MorningPrayer
In a world that so often
seems obsessed with
power and profit, Lord,
inspire us to be
builders of peace.
May we be
catalysts for community
and restorers of relationship.
May we wield your wisdom
rather than our
weapons of war,
as we work for
your justice,
your way.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

It feels wrong that they are introducing this bill whilst making vulnerable people's lives harder by taking away government benefits.

This bill is a huge risk unless it's introduced into a society that offers proper care and services to those in need. Look at Canada.

Universities should be the places rapidly raising the alarm about AI, not adopting it

The UK has a lot to learn from speedy Singapore Rather than emulate the city state wholesale, policymakers should select from its tool kit

funny how the lesson we can learn is always 'low regulation' and never 80% of residents live in subsidized public housing

Reading this AI guidance for schools again, it's wild how schools are being responsibilized for the irresponsibilities of the AI industry. Schools should ensure AI products “have been assessed” and allow schools “control over” them? You're talking about schools against Google, MS and OpenAI!

Today has been a good day
