this guardian piece is getting a lot of attention here, but this closer truly pushes us toward peak AI absurdity. www.theguardian.com/technology/2... 🙄

What "on earth"? The prioritization of ground truth for journalism, and our shared sense of reality - is less important to Google than "custom images to help you visualize history, create real estate plans, and more." And no, us checking every image is not the answer. blog.goo…

this piece highlights three key points: (1) trump admin actively opposes AI safety reg; (2) zuck & others essentially say trust-but-don't-verify; (3) the industry is in disarray in the face of public hatred of them/their opacity/their clear self-interest/their public disavowal…

‘If you’re building Frankenstein, stop’: JD Vance dismisses calls for AI regulation theguardian.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • US Vice-President JD Vance told frontier AI labs on the All-In podcast that if they are 'building Frankenstein,' they should stop, not seek federal regulation.
  • Vance called industry appeals for AI rules 'a bit of a Trojan horse,' suggesting incumbent labs want regulation to lock in their position.
  • The rebuke followed Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei's essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' which urged coordinated slowdowns among leading AI labs.

🧵A quick note to translate what's really happening in this NYT op-ed: Eric Schmidt has always had contempt for non-tech people, reflective of a deeper orientation in the industry. This is more of that. Short 🧵🧵🧵

while focusing on AI, pope leo reinforces (quietly, a kind of subtweet) opposition to trump admin's complete denigration of human rights. it has two components. the first is normative, as here:

i can see various benefits AI technologies bring in specific areas, but overall i have a deep sense of doom about how govts & private actors will be/are deploying the tech to supercharge surveillance, manipulate media, & just f**k with human rights across the board.

in a world that made sense, even if AI threats are overstated, government would act. but they don’t. captured, dysfunctional, competitive, greedy, incompetent. take your pick.

my main AI concern is it’s getting close to too late for regulation. we have multiple use technologies that have already been let loose in the world. ideally the companies would have done some form of corporate/human rights due diligence first, required by law, well before release. but nope.
