The People vs. AI Across red states and blue, a grassroots movement is pushing back on the unchecked growth of the artificial intelligence industry.

Hear 9 US individuals leading the fight for humans over data centers, AI film slop, loss of human dignity, surveillance etc
Let’s hope these huge protest will not reach Europe as almost everything else from America. We’re smarter in implementing AI, right?

Chatbots Are the New Influencers Brands Must Woo

All over again 😟
Companies try to influence what the chatbots say by providing specific information, lots of it, for the chatbots to soak up.
But it is challenging ad chatbots hallucinates, answers on the same question they suck up old content that might be outdated

RFK Jr's Nutrition Chatbot Recommends Best Foods to Insert Into Your Rectum Realfood.gov will happily give you the worst possible advice.

Risikoen ved at bruge generativ AI chatbots i den offentlige sektor, som jeg forstår Danmark planlægger, er kæmpe stor. Se blot til USA, hvor Sundhedsministeriets chatbot foreslår borgerne, hvilke råvarer de bedst kan sende op i deres endetarm

What AI “remembers” about you is privacy’s next frontier Agents’ technical underpinnings create the potential for breaches that expose the entire mosaic of your life.

Good read. Big AI tech is selling personalisation as something very useful, it might help you, it certainly helps the companies, as they suck up all your data and memory leaving you without control or insight. Alternatives in Europe have not followed suit

Exploring the Dangers of AI in Mental Health Care | Stanford HAI A new Stanford study reveals that AI therapy chatbots may not only lack effectiveness compared to human therapists but could also contribute to harmful stigma and dangerous responses.

Low-cost and accessible AI therapy chatbots powered by large language models have been touted as one way to meet the need. But new research from Stanford University shows that these tools can introduce biases and failures that could result in dangerous consequences

They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.

Have we heard this before if you write ‘social media’ in stead of chatbots:
‘Generative A.I. chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes and endorsing wild, mystical belief systems.’

Yoshua Bengio launches $30M lab to rethink AI design The goal of the new startup is for AI to act less like humans.

Yoshua Bengio is launching a new nonprofit lab to make AI systems act less like humans.

Designing Generative AI as humans is manipulative and unethical. They are machines and should look like, talk like and act like machines

We all have a digital ID app (MitID) developed by Netcompany The app only works w Apple and Google. If you buy a European open-sourced smartphone like Fairphone, Volla or Murena you are lost. They can send you by snailmail a small code-device (made in China) so you can work your way around

In lawsuit over teen's death, judge rejects arguments that AI chatbots have free speech rights A federal judge in Florida has rejected arguments made by an artificial intelligence company that its chatbots are protected by the First Amendment — at least for now.

Of course chatbots are not protected by freedom of speech as former Google-staffers from the startup Character.ai claim. It is so dumb and such a waste of time and ressources to discuss whether machines who unethically have dressed up as humans should have any HUMAN rights

Google leaders see AGI arriving around 2030 Sergey Brin and Demis Hassabis foresee the near future arrival of AI that's equal to or better than humans.

Google and others w gigantic economic interests have hyped GenAI. Now they are hyping so-called Agentic AI, and we are seeing the beginning of a hype around AGI, artificial general intelligence, supposedly surpassing all human cognitive skills. It is bullshit, BS. www.axios.com/2025/05/21/g...

Thanks @caseynewton.bsky.social for bringing in @karenhao.bsky.social - she’s a brilliant journalist and she’s right in her conclusions on GenAI. Funnily, neither of you - and especially not Kevin - backed her like you praise the makers of GenAI, especially Claude.

A.I. Is Getting More Powerful, but Its Hallucinations Are Getting Worse

New test: OpenAI’s most powerful system hallucinates 33 percent of the time. That is more than twice the hallucination rate of its previous reasoning system.
When running another test, which asks more general questions, the hallucination rates were 51 and 79 percent.

Chatbot mentoring is popular — but relying on it is risky Workers and students who turn to AI instead of their teachers and bosses can miss out on key lessons.

Many students perfer bots over teachers. But ability to ask endless questions without judgement or pushback isn't a proven way to learn.
