OpenAI claimed their products have solved several complex math problems, so what’s the issue? OpenAI just took credit for work done by humans without proper citations. When people in my field do that, they get tenure. Hahaha Red more: www.scientificamerican.com/article/open...

OpenAI’s latest math breakthroughs commit research misconduct, experts say scientificamerican.com

How many times can I scream that AI agents enabled by LLMs will hack every website, payment system, hospital, every credit union etc BECAUSE IT CAN. Resignations from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta etc are just the smart rats fleeing the ship. We need more whistleblowers now! www.tik…

Anyone here read anything interesting about AI development and the subfield of Artificial Life? On X, some are arguing that the Pope is wrong and AI is conscious. The discourse on GenAI is veering back to a time of “Tierra” and other silicon simulated worlds in the 1990s

It’s never the crime, it’s the cover up that gets litigated. @openai should be shutdown. Canadians are going to make it happen. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTUM4qEoP/

Hey hey Chicago, @criticalinternet.bsky.social is coming to the University of Chicago to kick off our new public service campaign: “EVERYONE HATES AI” An evening of improv for the phreaks, geeks, and weirdos who love technology, but hate technofascism. Afterwards, let’s hit the karaoke bar.

Today, I feel like Chicken Little. I've read so much about the flaws in LLMs that I can't see a single use case for academic research. Lying is a feature, not a bug, of LLMs. "Hallucinations" can not be designed away. It's a fundamental problem in the design without any possible fix.

I was just thinking about how the already existing massive wealth inequalities will be exacerbated by AI. It doesn’t take a sociologist to know that if you collapse labor, it will mean less resources for the state, thus actually enabling a technocoup. Tax the bots. Limit maximum wealth.

Organizing against data centers is practice for fighting against the technocracy. Technofascists do not believe in political parties, only opportunities. Superpacs by Meta, Palantir, OpenAI etc aim to elect any politician pledging more data centers. No right wing. No left flank. Just chuds.

The stakes of AI are hard to understand. Internet infrastructure is like Swiss cheese. It’s riddled with holes that would take humans time to exploit, but with agentic AI, the capacity to hack is exponentially increased, circumventing security in all networked systems. Banks will fall.

Woke Pope is sponsored by Anthropic. What we have here is a battle of the institutions, where Palantir & OpenAI partnered with the US Gov are battling the Catholic Church, Anthropic and the EU. European AI will be different from American slop soon. But none of this stops AI from LYING.

“AI” as a sector is not a zero sum game. It’s a weapon of war and a commercial gadget. I say, “gadget” because it’s fundamentally a toy, a novelty, but with some practical uses. As a commercial product, it has aspirations of becoming an appliance as ubiquitous as a stove or telephone.

Welp, there is now a good business opportunity for those who have certain skills to commit to only creating AI-free products. This means graphic designers, web developers, journalists, researchers, lawyers, and consultants… Take note! If your lawyer or doctor uses AI, run.

“Pacing by democompanies” as a heck of a Freudian slip up by the Anthropic CEO on CNN Agentic AI will coordinate the takedown of the online payment systems, hospitals will be ransomed, credit unions will fall... AI security is a nascent field and it hardly works independently from these corps.

I wonder if Musk would have bought Twitter if his relationship with OpenAI remained a partnership? Buying Twitter, with its decade of legacy data and large user base, was the best tool available to counter OpenAI.
