The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff review – we are the pawns
Tech companies want to control every aspect of what we do, for profit. A bold, important book identifies our new era of capitalism
www.theguardian.com
Essential reading to understand our present moment.
We can chart another course than the inhuman totalitarianism of surveillance capitalism. Technofascism is not inevitable.

Well worth a read, particularly if you have any interest in "AI psychosis" or even just suspect maybe your use of a chatbot might've got you a little hyped up or over-excited about an idea that later wasn't so impressive a few days later.

AI Safety Is About the User Not Just the Model
The biggest risk to LLM users isn't in individual responses, it's how LLMs influence users over the course of conversations. And it's an AI safety blind spot.

Despite the speed at which it is progressing, AI is getting far too little discussion in Congress, the media and within the general population. That has got to change

Double standards. State media.
When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

When the most optimistic AI researchers believe there's a significant chance AGI leads to very bad things for humanity, it's time to step back.
Note: these guys are not the optimists.
We're rushing toward a threshold and we don't know where it is, which step will be too far.
