#ai companies and #aidoomers are all like "AI could wipe out humanity" "We need a pause" or "slowdown"

If only there was a way to make the AI stop before we all die!

This wasn't the fault of the AIs. It is OpenAI which should be held accountable for this, because it failed to properly isolate its testing system. And that failure lead to a cyber attack on another AI company.

My Mentoring Journey with Community For Youth (CFY).

I was a youth #mentor for 10 years. I've joined the board of directors to continue supporting this amazing #community. I wrote a short reflection on my mentoring journey.

If you want to give back and get more than you give, youth mentoring is a great way to volunteer your valuable time. If you want to learn more, visit https://communityforyouth.org or message me!

Yikes! Did this car roll down from above? How did this even happen?

So #proud 🥲. My son was prompt injecting the FIRST robotics chatbot.

"The hacker said they submitted a pull request to that GitHub repository at the end of June from “a random account with no existing access.” They were given “admin credentials on a silver platter,” they said. On July 13 the hacker inserted their code, and on July 17 “they [Amazon] release it—completely oblivious,” they said."

Even after what happened with xz....

Is the slow-mo effect the cheat code to stretch CGI content to fill time and save $?

I'm already tiring of the overuse of cgi in TV show title sequences, especially when it looks like slop that generative AI created. Your Friends and Neighbors has this effect especially toward the end consisting of MANY obviously computer-animated slow-mo object explosions.

As much as I'm enjoying Murderbot, the Murderbot opening title sequence is worse as it looks sort of like claymation. Also everything in slow-mo.

> It’s revealing that Saad’s definition of “suicidal empathy” specifies that it’s “deployed on the wrong targets,” such as immigrants or transgender athletes.

> Lack of empathy for a presidential candidate whose leadership and legacy was harshly (and correctly) assessed by a newspaper: callous and despicable.

> Empathy for a migrant ripped away from his family and abruptly flown to a brutal foreign prison: suicidal.

> it’s clear that anti-empathy discourse can itself become an excuse for cruelty.
Or for downright atrocities.

> In fact, it’s probably a good rule of thumb that if a political movement spends a lot of energy trashing human kindness, it’s bad.

Way to be helpful Amazon.

If a simple search engine can't understand a simple request, what hope is there for any of the other #AI slop thrust upon us?

Perhaps this is a "solving the wrong problem" problem. Hmm, do customers want inaccurate summaries for product listings or search that works... Tough call #amirite?
