Even though Volvo made the design for seatbelts free to use, they weren't universally implemented in the US until congress passed a law. We can't rely on every AI company to do the right thing. But it's not too late to pass common sense guardrails for AI. Day 7/14 with timetravelwithrii as she spends the next 14 days doing a deep dive on what happened the last time we were sold the future.

AI bots are stealing jokes from real comics, and turning them into fake sexed-up avatars. It's killing artists livelihood, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The same technology is used for scams, manipulation, and eroding the trust of society. The solution? Create connections in the real world, face to face. Support artists at live performances, and join us for the AI Reality Check on November 14. Find a location near you. Please show some love to the REAL comics that have been victims of these bot accounts. This video features @JuliaJasunas @MandyMartino @SiennaHubertRos and our guest @DominicSyracuse

They're calling it Black October: AI helped dig up a years old flaw in PHP, the code behind 70% of websites. Before the fix shipped, the details leaked and attackers moved fast, forcing businesses and government sites offline until they could be patched. As the models get more capable, events like this will come more often, and hospitals, water systems, traffic, and the power grid could all be vulnerable.

It's time for an AI reality check. On November 14, volunteers across the country will be hosting presentations on the state of AI, what's at at stake, and what we can all do about it. Here are their stories, and how they decided to join this grassroots movement.

Last week, grassroots leaders from across the political spectrum got on one call about AI. We agree on the big thing: the companies building AI shouldn't be the only ones deciding what happens with it. Where we differ is how we're going about it – and where you can plug in.

Last month, Jacob Coxon gave up his Anthropic equity to warn about AI. Now David Robinson, who wrote OpenAI's safety reports, has quit too. He says rogue AI could do more harm than a nuclear meltdown, yet has far weaker safeguards than the public expects.

ICYMI: We brought grassroots leaders together this week to help inform us on what's happening and how to plug in to the AI accountability movement.

Today's AI can't replace an experienced professional. But what about an inexperienced amateur? Jobs for young people in AI-affected fields are already down 11%, according to a Stanford study of payroll records. So what can we do about it? Get organized to push back. On Wed Sept 30 at 7:30 ET, grassroots AI leaders from left, right and center are getting on one call to explain what's happening with AI and what we can do next.
