Saw this and laughed and had to share it:

Evaluating Bang Si-hyuk within South Korea is no longer accurate. While local rivals run traditional talent agencies, Bang built a multi-national conglomerate that acquires Western labels. Because his scale exceeds the K-market, he can only be measured against global peers. #HYBE

‘By making the supreme effort to build, through pomp and ornament, we all come closer to our terrible and ultimate end.’ — Marco Antonio Altieri, re grand and extravagant building ideas for Rome in 16th c. SOMEHOW I see current analogies…

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

I get it, some are on other platforms and they're full of frustrating garbage. Please leave that over there. Many of us left those platforms behind when coming here 🦋 to avoid all of that. Posting it over here is like stepping in 💩 and walking thru someone else's home uninvited - with your shoes on.

Emma Pierson could directly benefit if AI cured cancer. Yet, she writes, as a professor of AI who was once mentored by Anthropic’s co-founder, she’s rooting for AI progress to slow down.

“…the top 1% by wealth are responsible for about 40% of all “ownership”-based emissions – that is, the emissions produced by businesses and associated with privately owned financial and physical assets – which themselves make up 60% of global carbon output.” Tax them, & their carbon. #ClimateCrisis

Look, it was green in Logan’s Run.

I like this solidarity in support of artists and I would like to see more of this coming from academics. We don’t need to use AI art in our research talks.

Excellent thread

“Psychologists shouldn't replace thinking with AI” www.ru.nl/en/research/...

The biggest AI risk isn't rogue machines—it's "cognitive surrender,” writes Evan Liu. As part of a series of student essays produced in collaboration with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, Liu argues AI tempts us to outsource the struggle of learning itself.

Everyone is SO SURE they know, they run their mouth and they don't know shit.

So, hey: If you casually conflate "The Israeli Government" and "The Jews" in my comments, you're gonna catch a block. I'm not going to indulge your either intentional or unexamined general antisemitism by using Netanyahu, et al as cover. If you can't or won't parse the difference, keep walking.

"The court’s order—requiring a temporary injunction barring Google from spreading the false claims in any further AI Overviews—may have global implications, as the court seems to be the first to hold an AI firm liable for AI speech."

The wealthiest one percent are now responsible for more deaths than all geological hazards combined...

Stability for #BTS starts with how K-ARMY and I-ARMY understand and treat each other. Internal division only opens the door for outside negativity. Active communication turns frustrations into safety, letting both sides focus entirely on supporting BTS. #방탄소년단 #DS_BTS

How about social media platforms keep dangerous crap off their sites. Regulate and legislate them and prosecute the crap-creating offenders - not the potential victims.

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.
