Irony murdered: A book about truth and AI apparently includes quotes made up by AI. The author says he'll investigate. Whom? Himself? (Disclosure: I deflected requests to blurb it.) Book on Truth in the Age of A.I. Contains Quotes Made Up by A.I. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/b...

Disappointing that the Guardian would turn to #TESCREAList (Google it) William MacAskill to write this speculative BS about AI and consciousness. Could AI be conscious? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
This by @calnewport001.bsky.social is very good, though I wish it would cite work on #TESCREAL (Google it) & its eugenicist roots. *That* is how scary crazy the AI boys are. It's not the technology; it's the technologists. How Scared Should We Be of A.I. Right Now? www.nytimes…

- A Technion fMRI study found 6- and 7-year-olds' brains showed less synchronized blood flow in attention regions during ChatGPT use than adults'.
- In an MIT EEG trial across 32 brain regions, essayists using ChatGPT showed the lowest brain engagement and underperformed on multiple measures.
- Brookings' Rebecca Winthrop calls the pattern 'cognitive stunting': children short-circuiting the process of building thinking skills rather than offloading existing ones.

- Anthropic, Google, and Meta have hired computer scientists, neuroscientists, and philosophers over the past year to study whether AI models have forms of emotion.
- Anthropic hired Kyle Fish in September 2024 as its first dedicated AI welfare researcher and stood up a Model Welfare team.
- Neuroscientists and brain experts remain broadly skeptical that today's AI models are, or could soon be, conscious.

Unfuckingbelievable. Rosenbaum wears the hot-dog suit, playing AI victim for lies in his book on truth. "But strangely, the questions weren’t pointed at OpenAI or Anthropic. They were pointed entirely at me, and they were vicious and nasty. That is still painful."
Oh, yeesh. Now Meta and OpenAI are trying to make AI agents cute and cuddly (Muse and Dots). A little late after the AI boys have been screaming that they can kill us all: Now their killer AI Tribbles will make you a reservation for lunch then kill us all by dinner.
Going on @cnn.com with Abby Phillip tonight at 10p ET to talk about Trump's hissy-fit censorship and AI, too.
Mastodon's AI-aided addition of alt-text is wonderful (everyone should have it). Bonus: How it reads The Times' gothic logo.
Times' lead package this morning is essentially: OMG, so much AI out there.
Politico AI scare language. A program searched the internet. Oh, no.
The anonymous slander campaign against NJ7 candidate Rebecca Bennett gets more disgusting by the day. This just arrived in our mail. No, this doesn't require AI to make a photographic lie. It requires only the dark soul of a chickenshit liar.
Thank you, @joe-scarborough.bsky.social, for poking holes in that Andrew Yang AI idiocy.
