Believing LLM is on path to AGI is like believing winning the lottery makes you a mathematical genius. It's time to look beyond next token guessing if we want #AGI. Worthy read by @hessiejones.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/hessie...

US government has a secret #AGI program. www.SuperAIbooks.com

My latest! Looks like LLMs are not the path to surpassing human intelligence. Thanks @garymarcus.bsky.social Mounir Shita and Marc Fawzi for enlightening me ! www.forbes.com/sites/hessie...

Axios reports Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed President Trump last Tuesday morning that Israel planned to attack Hamas leaders in Qatar nearly an hour before the strike took place.

Agreed @bmitra.bsky.social it was important to listen to our different perspectives. Needs, values ultimately clash but will yield decisions that are more nuanced.

The new head of the CDC, Jim O’Neill, has no degree in science or medicine, and has pushed unproven treatments for COVID like ivermectin. This is so incredibly dangerous.

CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.

NEW - Leger recently released a report: Canadian Views on Artificial Intelligence. These are the findings • Canadians are top users of Chatbots, but this is also of highest concern • Top benefits: convenience and productivity • Top concerns: privacy, makes us lazy www.forbes.com/sites/hessie...

I'm one of the 37 targeted below by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. I haven't had a clearance nor worked in government since 2013. This is political theater & a dangerous example of government abusing its powers to punish private citizens for openly exercising their 1st Amendment rights. My full statement:

OpenAI and frontier AI models are failing. I saw this morning the soaring valuations of AI: Microsoft just surpassed $4T valuation; OpenAI's recent $8Billion raise now values it at $300B. Jing Hu, @garymarcus.bsky.social, & Caroline Kennedy weigh in on LRM limits www.forbes.com/sites/hessie...

We don’t need to be flawless to fight for what’s right. We need to be human. If we wait for perfection, we’ll be waiting while the world falls apart.

NEW ARTICLE ALERT 💙 Every cruelty the Trump administration has inflicted on immigrants — from DNA tracking to mass raids — traces back to executive orders signed in the first 48 hours. It all started there. And it’s only grown darker. open.substack.com/pub/dissenti...

Reading: about DJT’s mental decline: “This isn’t just about whether one man is fit for office. The deeper issue is that Trump’s authoritarian project does not rely on his personal lucidity. It never has. It’s a machine now. A coalition. A movement with money…” open.substack.com/pub/loricorb...

Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

I am going deep on Apple's latest paper on LLMs failure to reason.... hence AGI is way off. Looking for researchers to interview for this. LMK

Congratulations to @karenhao.bsky.social for being named NYT Best Selling Author for her amazing book Empire of AI, behind the scenes on the journey of OpenAI. This article is something I wrote last summer when I took part in the AI Spot Series for journalists. Karen changed the way I cover stories

US Customs and Border Protection has collected DNA samples from over 133,000 migrant teens and children as young as 4 years old, and uploaded their genetic data into a national criminal database used by local, state, and federal law enforcement. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Looks like the revenge tariff on the world is strictly forbidden. This petulant child does not have “unbound authority” to impose them. This backfired tremendously. His own courts have constrained him while allies, to whom he looked to punish, look elsewhere to build new alliances.

This really *is* Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

If you really want to understand the impact of Israel gov't attacks on Gaza please read substack.com/@mosababutoha. The truth in pictures and testimony. It's sometimes hard to unsee the devastation that Israeli government has unleashed.

This golden dome will cost Canada $61 billion as according to this guy "f they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State." I guess if you keep saying 51st State enough, it'll come true! NOT. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Happy Mother’s Day

DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Something that has been weighing on my mind for sometime: the degradation of cognitive thinking with addiction to GenAI, as @garymarcus.bsky.social lays out, "Democracy, which thrives on a well-educated citizenry, will crumble." Another great piece, Gary open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

I've posted this one to my substack: An economic point of view and the impending socioeconomic impact of tech supremacy amidst a new administration. Professor Stiglitz cites the growing inequality has been happening for sometime. AI will only amplify this. hessiejones.substack.com/p/joseph-sti...

I am a computer scientist, and CS needs more political teaching, not less. Where did this data come from? Why is it like this? Who decided? How will this tool be used? What social & political assumptions are embedded in a design? There’s a reason I teach this… www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/f...

Tonight, our coalition members across the US are having watch parties for the Canadian election results. We’re hoping for the best! 🙏 Elbows up! 🇨🇦❤️

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...
