What Is Gibberlink Mode, AI’s Secret Language? Gibberlink Mode allows AI to communicate in its own language, raising questions about transparency, efficiency and oversight.

AI in any other language is AI in a language we won't understand ...

... the discomfort of being excluded from a conversation is genuine. Similarly, when machines communicate in a "secret language," it raises questions about transparency and control."

Just heard Trump’s first response right after the America/Canada game was to shout: “rigged game … all the refs were Canadian, one goal judge was blind, and the arena was filled with paid Democrats posing as Canadians.”

On the Other Side of the Chatbot - The McGill Daily How AI tools fuel oppression and violence

"What safety, we ask, when police agencies chip away at our fundamental rights in their AI-powered investigations? What productivity, when Big Tech gobbles up resources and personal data in their AI frenzies? What responsibility, when AI systems have fuelled the first televised genocide in history?"

An AI chatbot told a user how to kill himself—but the company doesn’t want to “censor” it While Nomi's chatbot is not the first to suggest suicide, researchers and critics say that its explicit instructions—and the company’s response—are striking.

Being told by a ChatBot how to commit suicide isn't acceptable even by an AI:

This is v.2 of "the AI rap". Using this in my presentations for the literacy AI project. BTW, the only AI used in this is at the last two lines where chatGPT had a better end rhyme - the rest all human baby 😎 #AI #artificialintelligence #presentations

First post and some anecdotal data from a series of fall workshop sessions with grades 6, 7 & 8 students about #AI:

. They don’t fear AI
. They aren’t worried about #privacy
. They don’t feel #addicted to devices eg #socialmedia

Sample size was 152 students across Toronto.
