Please share the good ones, we need to know! And an example of a really bad one, perhaps? 💀

And my favorite reading about AI was re-reading Orwell’s 1984 and being reminded that language is a powerful tool which totalitarian m regimes strive to control

Thank you everyone for the recommendations! Bookmarked a bunch - winter holidays will entail lots of reading it seems ❄️

I recently shared this article with one of my students who’s toying with some AI agent-related research ideas:

technological determinism at its finest

these were EXACTLY my thoughts when I watched it

for the nth time with the same exact character and slightly different storyline choices, yes

Multiplied by Altman’s endorsements of amping up the “erotica” levels in ChatGPT, because that’s our priority as humanity

There was this paper where they made an AI-powered robot specifically designed to sort meds for Alzheimer patients. Patients were not happy with quality of sorting. It’s not good at either

its infuriating how the discourse on deepfakes focuses on political propoganda, while the majority of it is porn that targets women and girls. A while ago there was a case where an ex-boyfriend generated revenge porn, uploaded it, and woman lost her job, was receiving death threats, etc. Cool shit.

And it’s his first time seeing or using said shovel, but he’s an expert shoveler

I’ve been saying exactly this for years

Thank you for sharing this!!

Do you remember Orwelian newspeak? It aimed for extreme simplification of vocabulary, so eventually people can’t describe their experiences or ideas - mind control. Yesterday, a student of mine told me how her generation struggles to express their thoughts in writing without ChatGPT. Scary.
