From Altman proclaiming the “singularity”, to the Guardian publishing blather about possible AI consciousness, to OpenAI and Anthropic blaming their cybercrimes on “rogue models” the nonsense is coming fast and thick these days and much of the media is lapping it up. Time for another Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 livestream with me and @alex:

Been working on this little hobby project for several weekends. It's ready to show my friends.
Most sky apps tell you what's up. Dark Hours tells you the truth: whether tonight is worth it, when, and which way to look, and "honestly, no, stay in" when that's the answer.
Real astronomy, live weather, error bars printed where the numbers are. Free, no account, anywhere on Earth.

(She was actually ok!) But of course, my first thought was, Ok, I can email her, but she won't get that until she returns to her flat and can use her computer. How long do I wait before getting a wellness check on her? Who do I know in London (obs. if needed would send a Mastodon Hail Mary-love you all!)? Is she even now being bundled onto a plane for Nefarious Purposes? Kudos to the police officer who gave me his personal number and email.
happy #pride to all that celebrate! ❤️🌈

This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused
AI: Overwegingen voor wie erover gaat. Er is nu enorme druk om AI uit te rollen, en als je de *thought leaders* op LinkedIn volgt lijkt het wel alsof je eeuwig verloren bent als je organisatie geen vaart maakt. Tegelijkertijd zijn er mensen mordicus tegen, zo tegen dat ze niet met de beste kritieken komen. In deze *long read* ideeën over wat nu te doen, en wat misschien beter kan wachten. En, ook wat gedachten over wat we nou eigenlijk DOEN op kantoor: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/ai-voor-wie-erover-gaat/
