"using LLMs, as well as being funded by or working for AI companies, are conflicts of interest for any academic, which must be declared with every published piece of work"

Sorry, Jensen, can't make us stop. Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 will continue on with the #RidiculeAsPraxis cc @alexhanna.bsky.social

It's important to continuously remind people it is impossible for guardrails to prevent this. LLMs can't have perfect guardrails. The idea is they can meaningfully reduce risk, however the existence of an entire subfield about jailbreaking and prompt injection amplifies that same risk.

The AI can’t do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can’t do your job. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

This slot machine analog nails it, I think. The inherit almost gamification with inconsistent rewards is part of what hooks people who get addicted to LLMs. “Maybe this time it won’t work, but maybe the next prompt will give me something amazing!” It’s yet another form of gambling, in a way.

If Flock didn’t want their information to be captured they shouldn’t have been recklessly driving around on the internet, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is the best citation of my work yet www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"We show that the AI server industry is unlikely to meet its net-zero aspirations by 2030 without substantial reliance on highly uncertain carbon offset and water restoration mechanisms" An annual additional 24-44 megatonnes of CO2 per year to 2030, from AI in the US alone ->

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

🧵 Quem acompanha minha newsletter sabe que há alguns meses escrevi um texto com o título "Min-Yalta" no qual explico o redesenho mundial depois do bombardeio do Irã. O bombardeio contra a Venezuela e o sequestro de Maduro segue a mesma dinâmica. Mas há outro elemento, interno ao governo americano +

O que EUA está fazendo na Venezuela é o que a extrema-direita brasileira quer que seja feito no Brasil. É por esse motivo que fazem tanta questão que Comando Vermelho e PCC sejam considerados grupos terroristas.

Não esqueçamos que Gustavo Petro da Colômbia vem sendo tratado por Trump como “narcotraficante” como Nicolas Maduro. Não esqueçamos que a extrema direita quer que PCC e CV sejam considerados grupos terroristas pelos EUA. Não esqueçamos que em 2026 temos eleição presidencial no Brasil. ¡Ojo!

AI CEOs: why aren't people more pro-AI?! also AI CEOs: we have invented the automated revenge porn machine

Nossa, mas quem imaginaria que a IA do Elon Musk iria gerar imagens tirando a roupa de crianças? Ah, eu imaginava. Tem que ser muito burro para esperar algo que não seja o pior de um bilionário neonazista.

Com essa arte do @fredrubim.bsky.social, nos despedimos de 2025 e desejamos fuerza, música, livros, encuentros, eventos, parceria, um tanto de raiva, mas sobretudo saúde, amor e alegria pra encarar 2026! Vamo dale! 📚🤘🏻✨

here's a list of readings on the myth of job replacement by AI. i might turn this into a blog post as a sort of lesson plan for anyone who wants to use it, but it's just a reminder that every time we see "self-driving" cars or delivery robots, invisibilized workers are always behind the scenes.

Na história da computação, quase tudo que já foi "inteligência artificial", passado o hype, virou só... computação. Mas o que HOJE é chamado de "IA" é, efetivamente, a ponta de lança de um projeto tecnofascista cujos impactos já são nefastos. Triste ver a universidade PÚBLICA abraçando isso.

Não é difícil mostrar para as pessoas que esses fundadores e CEOs são nosso inimigo comum. Eles não são de direita. Eles são misantropos e sociopatas.

This is insanity! What the fuck?!?!

Right-wing lawmakers in Brazil were voting past midnight to cut down the punishment for Bolsonaro & others involved in 2023's coup attempt A fight broke up in Congress and Meta simply shadow banned left-wing profiles on IG - including Brazil's president - so the right can dominate the conversation💀
