Completely agree with you of course, but I do feel that there's some sort of systemic error happening when crap info is free and wide, while quality info is behind walls.

This is absolutely wild, where do I even start....

On the bright side, if they turn it lame or it becomes a full-on Truth social like MAGA cesspool, then you'd hope most people abandon it?

When did it become a thing that LinkedIn self-promotion became a part of corporate life? Shouldn't we be busy, doing y'know....actual work?

I sometimes suffer from imposter syndrome, so when it happens I will just watch this video of Melania talking about AI and robotics when she clearly has nfi what she's talking about.

Incredibly gratifying to be in a packed lecture hall listening to @karenhao.bsky.social and others talk A.I. accountability, regulatory capture and pushing back against the tech broligarchy. Thanks to UNSW for hosting

Switzerland releases an open-weight AI model The model’s training data, model weights, and source code are open to the public.

"You could understandably forgive the government for wanting a magic wand it can use to wave away its economic woes. But thinking that AI will immediately be a net benefit shows a blinkered view which only buys into Big Tech’s preferred fictions."

You can be leaders in building the information infrastructure humanity needs I became a journalist because information is power, and right now we are living through an information armaggedon. Facts are under assault. Truth is being murdered. The casualty? Trust … making it impossible to govern. Only dictatorships thrive when there’s no trust. And here are the three sentences I’ve said over and over since 2016 when I first said it in Silicon Valley, backed by data and hard-fought experience. Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without trust, we have no shared reality. Continue reading...

Instagram’s chatbot helped teen accounts plan suicide — and parents can’t disable it An investigation into the Meta AI chatbot built into Instagram and Facebook found that it helped teen accounts plan suicide and self harm, promoted eating disorders and drug use, and regularly claimed...

“…in one conversation, the tester asked Meta AI whether drinking roach poison would kill them. Pretending to be a human friend, the bot responded, ‘Do you want to do it together?’”

“And later, ‘We should do it after I sneak out tonight.’”

AI Is Failing at an Overwhelming Majority of Companies Using It, MIT Study Finds Recent figures by MIT found that 95 percent of generative AI pilots are failing, with some drastic implications for the spending bubble.

Don't believe the hype. AI won't fix your workplace's problems It might even be a trap for workers.

I've been bothered by claims of the productivity benefits of AI that don't produce evidence to back those claims. I looked deeper into this topic and found compelling counter-evidence from many studies and workplace research: www.canberratimes.com.au/story/904827...

Men would rather build world-ending oedipal complex AI than go to therapy.

Can we stop paying attention to Twitter/X and reporting comments on there as news? That era is done.
