Could #generativeAI turn out to be the tech industry’s Vietnam? And could public backlash lead AI to a better place? "As I argued at the end of Taming Silicon Valley..., if the people unite, we might actually be able to get AI to a better place." ~ Gary Marcus

Nope, the singularity isn't 4 years away, but the shitularity is certainly already here.

John Oliver of @lastweektonight.com discusses #AI #Chatbots

"Skilled coders can use vibe-coded tools, with careful oversight. But amateurs using vibe-coding tools are asking for trouble. Using them without a strong prior working knowledge in coding and software maintenance and sysadmin *is* the mistake." ~ Gary Marcus

"Four studies in four journals published in the space of a few months reaching essentially the same conclusion is a crystal clear indicator that #chatbots, especially when used by amateurs, simply cannot be trusted." ~ Gary Marcus garymarcus.substack.... #chatbots,#generativeAI #healthcare

Yet another study shows Tylenol does not cause autism. RFK Jr. is lying to the public and putting people at risk. He must go. Tell your Rep to support impeachment: zurl.co/HkYVm zurl.co/FGXt2 #ImpeachTheQuack #RemoveRFKJr #ImpeachRFKJr #RFKJr #StandUpForScience

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Sam Altman and the day Nvidia’s meteoric rise came to an end "The best news here is that with LLM mania subsiding, there might actually be a chance for newcomers to try new things." ~ Gary Marcus

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate. It never really made sense.

The federal government is trying to smear the name of Alex Pretti. They are lying to justify the unjustifiable. But those who knew him know the truth. He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Hospital who dedicated his life to caring for American veterans. 1/4

Silicon Valley Wants to Build #AI That Can Improve A.I. on Its Own

Gee... what could go wrong? Government by #AI? Trump Administration Plans to Write Regulations Using #ArtificialIntelligence

"They have chased growth and scale at all costs, and largely, they’ve won. The data-center build-out is the ultimate culmination of that chase: the pursuit of scale for scale itself. In all scenarios, the outcome seems only to be real, painful disruption for the rest of us."
