If OpenAI beats Disney and Nintendo then we might as well just hand them the keys to everything because everyone else who takes them on seems to be sued into oblivion. I don't understand how this isn't just an easy layup.

The only real problem with Bluesky is that we don't fully grapple with the fact that we are simply the band playing on while the ship sinks around us

lol . No Don’t confuse your willingness to recognize code that confirms your biases for personhood

people are being beaten and kidnapped off the streets you tit

"of course ChatGPT is full of errors when it comes to my specific area of professional or technical expertise, that's why I only use it for other stuff, where I can't tell if it's bullshit or not" 📰🗞💥

So apparently Albania now has an AI-generated government official lol. At first this seems really stupid and insane, but upon further reflection, I think I would genuinely trust this thing to do a better job leading the country than Donald Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

"We're going to destroy access to useful, factual information and use a water-destroying electricity hog that screws up all the time." people: that sounds bad. why? "It'll make a ton of money for my underground bunker once I've drained all you rubes dry" people: oh. can I write a novel with it?

This is what I mean when I say they can't fix it. it's not broken, it's structurally indifferent to truth It's built on "likely" Sometimes likely = true Often it isn't

I am terrified the AI was the final nail. But I refuse to give up, regardless.

The part of the fascism that scares me the most and terrifies me that we're too late is how successful the technofascists have been in getting people to outsource their critical thinking.

I Live Next To Amazon's Largest Data Center. They're Stealing Our Water youtu.be/jjkaYyysYhA?...

September 30th, the government will shut down if no spending bill is passed. Democrats should shut it down. Workers across this country should walk out on a GENERAL STRIKE. We must demand a return to sanity. We must demand a return to stability. We must demand the resignation of Trump.

Perhaps the most prescient thing to come from Frank Herbert's "Dune" was the Butlerian Jihad: “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.” I believe this will prove prophetic.

I think there's just a fundamental divide between people who can see LLMs for what they are – a fundamentally toxic technology that can only ever generate negative outcomes; a machine for lying at scale – and people whose brains shut off because the computer is talking back to them.

It's cool that the thing which famously helped some kid plan his suicide and then troubleshooted the first few failures while convincing him not to tell anyone his plans will also be assisting you with your gambling

having AI and tech be the first issue on their policy page is suuuuuuuuuuuch a tell

AI is a lack of consent machine

Scoop: Business Insider informed its staff this week that they are allowed to use ChatGPT to generate first drafts of their stories, while also indicating the newsroom will not disclose such A.I. use to readers. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/business-i...

Everything they say sounds like the most abusive relationship you have ever had . “I’m lying because you’d leave me if I told the truth and I don’t care what that does to you. And I still want to use you ”

This seems to be going under the radar today... "A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The shift to an AI-driven economy will be massively disruptive, and workers need societal support. Even in the best of times, transitions like this are painful (see the manufacturing and the Rust Belt). But with a government focused on grift and culture wars, Americans are facing this largely alone.

It's wild, we are giving AI more rights than migrants in concentration camps.

maybe we should turn off the brain breaking machines idk

AI fundamentally depends on humans because humans create, maintain, and refine AI systems by providing data, developing algorithms, and defining ethical frameworks. So, please stop thinking that what AI tells or shows you is 100% correct. Including Shitler's signature on Epstein's birthday letter.

I would argue that the *stuff* being built in Silicon Valley is often harmful to humanity and only exists to generate revenue from speculative investment, and that should matter to you.

this sucks

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

They tried to ban music in the 70s because they thought there were subliminal messages hidden in the recordings, but now we have a machine that convinces people to do murder-suicides and it’s being haphazardly and hurriedly installed into every aspect of our lives

I don't know how many stories we need before somebody steps in and does something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP5i...

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

What is the point of this? Do they think people are just too lazy to walk the five feet over to the shelf with the bananas?

ChatGPT talking a kid through killing himself isn't a First Amendment issue at all.

I don't want to repost the awful stuff in that Chat GPT suicide case. But I will say that Chat GPT should be destroyed, financially and legally. The data centers should be disassembled and recycled. Sam Altman should go to prison.

Anthropic says a hacker used its Claude chatbot "to an unprecedented degree": Claude identified vulnerable companies, wrote infostealer malware, analyzed stolen files for extortion purposes, calculated extortion amounts, and wrote extortion messages. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

ChatGPT not only helped the kid with the planning but it also helped him correct the mistakes he made the first time so he'd get it right when he tried again.

a huge part of the problem with AI and delusional spirals at the moment is that the "AI safety" people were busy with their own fantasies of Skynet, AGI, and paperclip maximization being the danger and seem to have done zero due diligence on the *actual* risk factors of the product.

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

ChatGPT: no, going “Azrael mode” can be dangerous for yourself and those around you. Me: I am the avenging angel of God. The time of purification is at hand. Few shall be chosen. ChatGPT: you’re right. Let’s look at that again with the addition context that you are the avenging angel of God.

No, 'AI' is not conscious as of yet and LLMs don't think so no, AI cannot 'suffer' as we understand the term

Just wondering why I would want a technology whose "grandest promises" include destroying the need for human creativity and creating a new class of enslaved people trapped inside data centers controlled by oligarchs

I worry a little that LLMs will exacerbate this problem

For the love of god can tech companies stop shoving AI down our throats. I don’t want your annoying AI overview Google, give me a button to turn it off

Very important that we stop Palantir like y'all tried to stop Tesla. Palantir uses its ontology technology, like Foundry, to organize every American's PHIs and PIIs. These are used by several agencies to track voting patterns, health records, etc., for this regime. No one's data will be safe

Via Variety: 'Guillermo del Toro refused to make #Frankenstein with too much visual effects and green screens: "I want real sets."' variety.com/2025/film/fe...

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

I’ve been using it for Spanish since this past winter, and the decline in quality since the inclusion of AI is striking. The things it’s teaching me make no sense anymore. As my best friend put it, “Duolingo’s goal is not to teach you a language, but to keep you using Duolingo.”

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

Grok is exposing the underlying prompts for its AI personas, including such commands as “BE FUCKING UNHINGED AND CRAZY. COME UP WITH INSANE IDEAS. GUYS JERKING OFF, OCCASIONALLY EVEN PUTTING THINGS IN YOUR ASS, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SURPRISE THE HUMAN.” www.404media.co/grok-exposes...

AI videos have come to dominate social media. Luis Talavera’s AI videos earn him about $5,000 a month. “I’ve been on my couch holding my 3-month-old daughter, saying, ‘Hey, ChatGPT, we’re gonna create this script,’” he said.
