Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level.
We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Two truths can be true at once: AI may be utterly transformative; Wall Street may be in over its skis. For your 401(k), the lesson from the dot‑com era: diversify broadly so you catch the wave without betting the house on Pets dot com 2.0.

AI’s hidden recession: How fewer jobs and cultural backlash create a governance crisis
AI will redefine how humans create value. Whether it also redefines who is allowed to create value will depend on the choices leaders make now.

AI is already superhuman. So are libraries, cars, and calculators. Not a reason to abandon the strong history of science-led digital policy in the EU.

The message that public support for R&D is contingent upon place, purpose and participation is particularly stark for AI innovation, which looks like it scores badly on all three fronts.

L'une des mes hypothèses (et un de mes espoirs) c'est que l'IA va finir par devenir ridicule en raison de la stupidité de ses usagères et usagers, et que ça finira par passer comme les modes du métaverse ou des gifs animés en fin de mail, devenues infiniment ringardes.
Incroyable hommage de l’ancienne ministre des Anciens combattants. On appréciera la double Bretagne, le casque allemand et la submersion (ou l’annexion ??) du sud de la France.

Just read a talk announcement about "AI" and K-12 education that looked like it maybe, maybe embedded a critical perspective but was still dressed up in the language of AI hype, presupposing both job market & education "reshaped by AI".

Mind if I ask for your take @carlbergstrom.com ? Would be curious where your thoughts on AI review are present and future.
I can't help but feel AI logic regresses to the mean as it's trained with good+bad papers and reviews.
Experts can discard bad info. AI reliably incorporates it.

Can't get the government to promise to bail out AI? Well, entangle AI in Wall Street so much that the government will be forced to bail out both to preserve...the financial system itself.
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers
