I spoke with Sen. Mark Kelly abt his new plan for AI: create a dedicated federal fund to invest in infrastructure and worker retraining that’s paid for by the very AI companies that are straining U.S. infrastructure and threatening to replace American workers. puck.news/mark-kelly-o...

Thank you, @iankrietzberg.bsky.social for giving space to voices of AI resistance and refusal in higher ed. I was happy to be a part of this vital conversation. #EduSky #AIinEdu #AIResistance 🚫🤖 puck.news/why-teachers...

A few weeks ago, I interviewed the co-founder of Ash, which is marketing itself as the first A.I. chatbot purpose-built for therapy. When I got off the call, I downloaded the app and started testing it out. Then, I sent the transcripts to a psychiatrist at UCLA . puck.news/inside-sling...

I connected with Dr. Danielle Perszyk, a cognitive scientist at Amazon’s AGI Labs, to hear about the work the lab is doing, and how it aims to achieve its mission of AGI. puck.news/amazons-ai-l...

So much of the agitation surrounding A.I. and entertainment these days is fixated on content production. How about the gatekeepers of the entertainment ecosystem? A conversation with @iankrietzberg.bsky.social and @loudmouthjulia.bsky.social puck.news/will-america...

In my latest for @puck.news, I chatted with @garymarcus.bsky.social to take in the GPT-5 fallout puck.news/has-gpt-5-sh...

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

Great piece on the geopolitical AI competition getting distilled to a rush for AI adoption while ignoring other societal values. As I told Ian, American leadership in AI is not the same thing as driving larger profits for American companies

In my latest for Puck, I dug into at least one aspect of the development of AI that feels so distinct: the fact that governments around the world are pushing really hard, not just to advance the state of AI, but to drive adoption of it puck.news/governments-...

My latest for Puck — Took a look at Uber’s plans for a fleet of robotaxis, and broke down the feasibility of the roadmap, and all the speed bumps that likely line the way. lnkd.in/e7BzBgZ4

My latest for Puck - how hospitals are using generative AI, and how nurses got caught in the middle: puck.news/newsletter_c...

thiiiiis semantic search is CRAZY useful in how it can unlock the value of the vast majority of data, which is unstructured the fact that LLMs can also summarize and recontextualize that unstructured data is truly a breakthrough this is not by any stretch of the imagination AGI

In my latest for @puck.news, I dove into Microsoft’s latest computational biology breakthrough, and had a candid chat with Runway co-founder Anastasis Germanidis about the push to build world models. puck.news/newsletter_c...

I am so excited to officially announce that I am joining the incredible team at Puck. I'll be launching a twice-weekly A.I. newsletter where I'll be covering the most important goings-on in the space. I hope you'll join me there: puck.news/newsletters/...

Puck is proud to welcome Ian Krietzberg aboard as our partner and A.I. correspondent. Want to receive Ian’s writing directly in your inbox? Sign up for Puck’s A.I. private email, The Hidden Layer, here: puck.news/newsletters/...

Just in time for #EarthDay, my chat about AI, ag, and sustainability is out on The Deep View podcast. Thanks @iankrietzberg.bsky.social for the fun convo! youtube.com/watch?si=gdu... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1... open.spotify.com/episode/1X9I...

calling them hallucinations seems to me to connote that some sort of abnormal perception is going on. but in fact (1) there is no perception at all, as there is no perceiver, and (2) there’s nothing abnormal about it. all the chatbot answers are “hallucinations,” but some happen to be right

In the latest episode of The Deep View: Conversations, I chatted with the CEO of Pindrop, a cybersecurity firm, about the cybersec implications of AI and the ways in which AI is both a cyber sword and shield when it comes to fraud. youtu.be/FGnfFoQZBdo

Have talked a lot about the environmental cost of AI. But researchers recently took things a step forward, studying the public health cost of AI. It's severe, and it all has to do with air pollution. #AI #sustainability #publichealth #airpollution www.thedeepview.co/p/the-public...

New research from Stanford/Colorado State that, even if the world reaches net-zero emissions by the 2050s, global warming will likely breach 2 degrees celsius. news.stanford.edu/stories/2024...

Several of Canada's largest news organizations have banded together to assemble a massive copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI. /

Having read a bunch of really sharp critiques of AI, I’ve found myself assuming that AI entrepreneurs must have equally smart arguments. I’m always astounded to find that they don’t: it’s just easily disproven boosterism. But then, of course it is. It doesn’t matter, because capital is behind them.

A recent report by @amnestyuk.bsky.social analyzed algorithmic discrimination + mass surveillance in Denmark's digitized welfare program. It is a growing trend around the world. www.thedeepview.co/p/report-mas...

Though ChatGPT and generative AI might be a newer phenomenon, artificial intelligence isn't. Algorithms have been around for decades, and police departments have been using algorithms for years to enable predictive policing.

So much is beautiful.

New research into the short-term labor impacts of ChatGPT and generative AI has found "significant short-term job replacement," tied to the launch and subsequent integration of these systems.

🚨I have a big announcement, everyone!!🚨 Today, I'm launching my newsletter: The Reengineer. It’s about the surprising ways in which climate change is impacting technology, buildings and infrastructure – and how we can make those things more efficient, to slash emissions. www.thereengineer.pro

I’ll be on this panel about the environmental costs of AI infrastructures at NYU’s IPK next Thursday, November 21 from 5:30-700 PM ET It is hybrid and open to the public, so you can join on Zoom ipk.nyu.edu/events/discu...

The threat of AI is often split into two groups: current harms and future risks. A short 🧵 (do they do 🧵s here?)

Might start posting on here again. Twitter just kinda sucks. Wish someone would buy it and just CTRL-Z a bunch of times

For a self-driving car to break into a level 3 classification, it needs to have a non-human redundancy layer built in. Enter, Lidar. www.thestreet.com/technology/w...

I've spent the past couple of weeks putting together this exploration of AI from an ethical point of view -- the issues inherent to the sector are truly fascinating (and unrelated to X-risk): But there is a path forward, "We just have to have the will to do it." www.thestreet.com/technology/t...

Joseph Weizenbaum, decades ago, said that the idea of artificial intelligence is predicated upon human gullibility... a prime example right here

As the technology stands today, self-driving cars learn through pattern recognition. Broke down the (many) vulnerabilities in this approach www.thestreet.com/automotive/w...

My slate is finally cleared. The draft for a piece that's been in progress for the past 2 weeks - on the ethics of AI - has been started. Just came to say that this topic is so damn fascinating to me. Frustrating, upsetting, unnerving. And fascinating.

This article hits the mark: seeking immortality and equating technological progress with moral progress is indeed deeply rooted in religious traditions. This also sheds light on why vague definitions of AGI are often perceived as a form of mysticism. www.vox.com/the-highligh...

My TED talk "Generative AI: is ethical development possible?" is finally online! Delve with me into ethical questions surrounding generative AI and the profound ways it is shaping our society. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NreF...

From yesterday, a breakdown of the enormous amount of resources Large Language Models like ChatGPT use -- training GPT-4 used 6% of Des Moines' water. www.thestreet.com/technology/c...

Been working on an Ethics of Artificial Intelligence piece for the past few weeks. If I could distill everything down to one concept, it is this: without capitalistic incentives, AI might actually benefit society in some incredible ways. Current incentives are the driving force of real risk #AI

Good morning Blue Sky! Been anxiously awaiting a chance to try out this platform. To briefly introduce myself, I am a tech reporter for TheStreet with a focus on artificial intelligence (companies, startups, regulation, safety, ethics, etc.) I am also an avid reader, cook and musician/composer
