Media is dead and we killed it - what if it is unclear whether anything is AI or not, intended to corrode trust, sway your opinion, distract or keep you attention? That is where we’re at

Great outlook from Demis. Not seen many interesting things on ethics from deepmind, but they seem to have their heart and tech in a good place (I love genetics algorithms!) youtu.be/-HzgcbRXUK8?...

Ha amazing! Hadn’t seen it since it’s been out. The great peeps at Sassy Chaps made it. I helped for a couple of months with some UI programming and animation :) . AI can only take our jobs if we want to live in a completely different economy… check out the podcast ;)

So. I bought this game for the lolz but it’s somehow amazing, subversive, unapologetically anti-AI-taking-our-jobs and it was made by the host of @machine-ethics.net, @benbyford.com?!

I’m obsessed.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
