They’re Killing AI and The Internet 🙄

The biggest irony in tech today — the very companies who are pushing AI on you are the ones killing it, while also killing the Internet in the process. What’s next? 🤷

‼️ WRONG ‼️ — US Vice President JD Vance told Paris AI summit that the Trump administration will “ensure that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias,” and that the US would “never restrict our citizens’ right to free speech.”

Yes, that’s more data grab and AI-generated slop.

‼️ NASA to Purge All Mentions of Women and Indigenous People from Websites 🙄‼️👇🏽

Pushing for brainless, bigoted, narrow-minded policies will achieve one thing — failure!

‼️ I Asked ChatGPT for “its opinion” About Donald Trump and Elon Musk — WOW 🤣‼️👇🏽

I’ve seen posts suggesting that #ChatGPT, and others, are somewhat reserved if you were to ask them anything negative about Trump or Musk. Wrong!

I had a go and below is the screenshots of what it came up with. Ouch 😬

‼️ Tech and AI Ignore Children’s Rights 😡‼️ This is so infuriating

A must-listen episode for parents and particularly politicians who seem to have inadvertently forgotten that children have rights and have been ignored for many years by the tech sector:

‼️ Time to Roast DeepSeek ‼️ — They’re *Not* the saviours and should be scrutinised like all others 👇🏽

You *must* scrutinise Deepseek as you would any other AI model. It does not mean they’re “less safe” than OpenAI, et al, nor that they’re the saviours. They’re all rushed!

‼️ Elon Musk TRASHES Trump’s $500 billion AI “Stargate” plan ‼️ — For once, I agree 🤯👇🏽

This “AI plan” announced by Trump and the tech “titans” — states the usual nonsense:

1) come up with a big number;
2) give it some Hollywood name;
3) make the usual promises that it will cure cancer, blah blah

‼️ The Shortest AI News Story EVER 😂 ‼️👇🏽

What a year we had so far, eh?

I’m sure we all need some light relief. This one hit the right spot for me 😂

Will 2025 be the year of failed promises and anger — on everything? 😳👇🏽

Even though this was a horror story of a possible terror attack, the image you see below went viral for a totally different reason. For many, it represents the year to come.

Do you agree?

‼️ YES ‼️ Apparently tech bros believe that Large Language Models ( #LLMs ) are “No longer Stochastic Parrots” — I Agree — because Parrots are Smarter! 😬

Time to push for AI that actually adds value to society and business in 2025, and stop peddling the AGI nonsense.

‼️ Leaked Documents ‼️ OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’ — it’s not intelligence 👇🏽

Yes, you’ve read this correctly. According to leaked documents obtained by The Information
OpenAI and Microsoft agreed to define AGI as a system “that can generate $100 billion in profits”.

That’s it!

Here we go again 🤬 — AI Chatbots Are Encouraging Teens to Engage in Self-Harm 👇🏽

Trigger warning — sorry but people need to see this and understand what we meant back in *2014* when we said that we *must not* deploy AI on the web without guardrails.

The “Freedom warrior” Elon Musk wants to fund UK’s far right movements - riddle me that👇🏽

Is this what the future of tech looks like? Is this the behaviour of someone who cares about ethics?

It’s official — Top Silicon Valley VCs gone full MAGA 👇🏽

I warned about this in August 2024 and, unfortunately, I’ve been proven right, again! 🙁

This VC has added big banks, Bluesky, and the Biden administration to his *enemy* list.

So the new MAGA mob are coming after @bsky.app 🤓

People nowadays expect you to agree with them all the time and on everything, which is ridiculous 🤔

Best ideas and innovations actually come through healthy disagreements and debates. Do you really want to live in a world of ”yes men”?

Forget Mars, Fix Earth! 🌍

Do you agree?

I think this is perfectly said by Neil deGrasse Tyson — taking down the absurd arguments for occupying Mars by Musk and his fans 👇🏽

Hey everyone 🎉
Wow I’m not surrounded by x-bots 😖
Quick intro — I run a new podcast called The CEO Retort — a space where we challenge the status quo, take on divisive narratives (yes, even the manosphere), and dive deep into the biggest issues shaping our world: AI, society, leadership, and beyond.
