This is how a swan lands on the water.
The amount of greed, imbalance, narcissism and power that is present on the path of thinking that A.I. can be controlled is, as always tremendously sad to say, uniquely human.
The world's most advanced AI models are exhibiting troubling new behaviors - lying, scheming, and even threatening their creators to achieve their goals.

Horrible. This is what white supremacy does. Glad that the assault on Mr. Padilla was caught on camera for proof later.

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…

Lesson learned. As a photographer of over 20 years, this was a first. I advise NOT putting a piece of delicious baklava (even if it has a plastic box) with honey in your backpack. An hour of cleaning later, I was glad that it didn’t get much into my inner Domke J series camera messenger bag. 😶.

A cat naps on a chair in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. Floor in the kitchen is original Spanish tiling. This strong-willed cat would disappear for days, then return, sometimes with injuries from fights, mostly sleep for a few days, before spinning it all again.

It is still very weird to me that there are people who were like “nah, he’s not going to do this exact thing he keeps saying he’s going to do that is contained in a 900+ page manifesto that he and his friends have been working on for four years.”
