His solution turns the usual script upside down. Instead of fighting to stay in charge, he believes we should design AI to care about us. The analogy he uses is a mother and her child. The stronger being naturally committed to the weaker one’s survival. “We need AI mothers rather than AI assistants. An assistant is someone you can fire. You can’t fire your mother, thankfully.” That means building “maternal instincts” into advanced systems, a kind of embedded drive to protect human life. Hinton admits he doesn’t know how to engineer it yet, but he insists it’s a research priority as important as improving raw intelligence. He emphasized that this is a different kind of research, not about making systems smarter, but about making them care. He also sees this as one of the few areas where countries might truly work together, since no nation wants to be ruled by its machines.

Decades long running joke now confirmed as true.

Coming soon to everyone everywhere: 'please limit the use of your air conditioner, the AI server farm down the road needs the electricity and our grid is unstable.'

Not to side with haters but, she IS a billionaire, which isn't great.

Never dim your light or silence your meow 4 anyone

Last month, I was proud to join my House Administration Committee colleagues in helping introduce the Presidential Accountability Amendment, which reverses the Supreme Court decision that gives presidents immunity from criminal prosecution.

Our democracy depends on real accountability.

Column | Can’t put solar panels on your roof? Plug-in ‘balcony solar’ may be for you. Balcony solar promises to cut energy costs and grid reliance for renters and apartment-dwellers. I did a trial run at my home.

The possibility of solar being available for renters is really freaking exciting to me. It's already a thing in Germany!

He's planning to stay.

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad

My partner's cat is living with me while he's away for work. She's a big girl but she really likes this cat tree, so here we are.

Proof from your own mouth that you are just like every other billionaire and only care about money :)

mattobrien ate at a diner that had a "FUCK ICE" sign in the window and I've never ordered huevos rancheros so quickly in my life. a "FUCK ICE" sign is basically a michelin star for mexican food in Los Angeles.

Note to restaurants: I will rearrange my day to eat at an establishment that displays a "FUCK ICE" sign.

I will cancel plans. I will leave the chicken in the freezer. I will stand with you.

The Texas Senate voted the rigged map out of committee today. They will very likely pass it before end of week because Chuy & Zaffirini won’t get on a damn plane to break quorum. BUT the map still can’t pass the House w/o quorum so it’s ceremonial at best. Do not panic when that headline comes

@govmurphy.bsky.social NJ next, please.

The "We need the Second Amendment to resist tyranny" crowd seems to be pro-tyranny.

They aren't shooting ICE agents.

This could be the angle that gets conservative white ladies tto switch sides. They Love big cats (well, all cats)

I hope the buffalo is OK :(

When you compare Chat-GPT and other LLMs to human beings, especially experts and artists, it sucks.

When you compare LLMs to Clippy, autocomplete, "if you would like to pay a bill, say 'billing' or press 2," or even Watson on Jeopardy, it's impressive.

Absurd overhype is negatively polarizing.

The free version of Proton Pass is so good compared to DL. I moved from Dashlane to Proton last year and haven't looked back. Using Proton Drive and Mail too!

Things that will happen when he's gone:

* we're going to learn about shit he did that's so heinous, it makes the stuff we know about look tame

* his many minions will claim to have "always opposed" him and demand sympathy for their suffering at his hands

* dancing in the streets, worldwide

Senator Mark Kelly on meeting a detainee at ICE Eloy. Her son is a Marine, she's been here for 20 years and has no criminal history. She was on base helping with her grandson when ICE detained her.

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.

FBI will help locate Texas Democrats who fled the state, Cornyn says Texas GOP have been threatening the state legislators with "legal consequences" for breaking the quorum.

NEW: The FBI has agreed to cooperate with Texas state law enforcement to locate the 50 Democratic legislators who left the state, Sen. John Cornyn said

The "they have mics but aren't recording, I swear!" feels sus. Not at the author, at the company. Didn't Amazon Alexa get caught not deleting recordings when they said they would. What's stopping these glasses from doing the same.

one of the best arguments for national legalization of marijuana is that it removes cops' best get-out-of-a-4th-amendment-violation-free card (claiming they smelled weed so as to justify their warrantless search)

It's incredible that all of the people who would shit on Wikipedia as a source because "lol anyone can edit that" are now 100% reliant on asking questions to the lying robot machine that no human has any oversight over

one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims

I went twice last year, it's awesome! Very witchy meets Renn Faire. I hope you get to go :)
