So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

I don’t give a fuck what Sam Altman declares. Why are we just letting these tech bros make these decisions for us? When did we all decide we don’t have any agency?
JUST IN: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declares the world needs to “accept some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits of AI.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Activists have unveiled a 'Cut the Royal Budget' banner in front of Buckingham Palace after MPs voted to give the royals another £50 million in Sovereign Grant money. It's time to scrap the grant; it's time to get rid of the royals. #AbolishTheMonarchy

People understandably want to know how AI actually kills everyone. We made a video about one such scenario.

“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans” “Yes” “Wow… oh my God.” @vicderbyshire speaks to Nobel Prize Winner and so-called ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton about predictions by an Anthropic researcher that there’s a more than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade. #Newsnight

I think we can be clear. It is time to ban Data Centres and AI. I'm sure everyone agrees.

Pour ceux qui n’ont pas compris: on est littéralement au moment du film où le scientifique prévient tout le monde d’un danger imminent et absolument personne ne l’écoute 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Microsoft Teams is terrible already, but changing your status from green to yellow because you haven’t moved your mouse in 5 minutes is diabolical. And you can’t override it. Whoever designed this, I hope both sides of your pillow are permanently warm.

Look, is AI making our lives better? No. But is it making things less expensive? Unfortunately, the opposite. Now, is it making the internet a better place? More slop than ever, actually! But does it allow us to spend more time being creative? That's actually the thing it's best at stealing without shame. Though, surely it's making us smarter, right? You’ll never guess, but…

Yeah… this is absolutely insane. People’s years of computer literacy and skill acquisition are about to be erased in the blink of an eye. These are some of the skills people get paid for, and they’re about to get completely wiped out. Shut this down right now.

How are humans supposed to learn, adapt and develop new skills when AI increasingly does everything for us? How are people supposed to afford to live if there are fewer and fewer jobs left for humans to actually do? We are doomed

Remember when they sold us the slogan, “Go paperless, save trees, save the planet”? Now we've gone digital, and it's consuming enormous amounts of water, destroying ecosystems, harming bees, and contributing to environmental damage on a scale paper never did.
