Any news report that starts “OpenAI says…” or claims “an AI” (sic) has “broken containment” or “gone rogue” is no longer doing journalism, but PR for the #AI industry. #OpenAI used their product to hack a third-party and failed to implement adequate safeguards. That’s it. That’s the story. #AIHype
Had the displeasure of configuring a #Windows laptop for #LittleHuman to use at school. I was shocked by the extent to which #Copilot now permeates the #Microsoft ecosystem. Even searches for answers to simple support questions run through Copilot. Such a wasteful use of technology. #Micro$lop
“Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iOS and iPadOS.” Makes you wonder which EU privacy law it contravenes. 🤨 #SiriAI #AppleIntelligence #wwdc26
Whatever happened to the idea of #micropayments for accessing websites? It’s not without its problems, that’s true, but surely better than the current mess of advertising, paywalls, subscriptions, and AI slop?
#AI seems to be driving everyone to distraction. AI boosters by undermining their cognitive capacities. AI critics by having to refute the nonsense put out by AI boosters. Meanwhile, the world just keeps getting hotter. 😓
Being a (co-)author means taking responsibility for, or standing behind, your work. Computer systems are incapable of doing this.* So #LLMs cannot be (co-)authors.* If that’s right, then while #GenAI use can and should be acknowledged in academic papers, their contribution isn’t one of authorship.
Had a dream last night in which I was invited to a billionaire’s house where he explained that he would be sad when his AI servants and robot dogs ‘died’, *and so would they be*. Hoo boy. 🤖 🪦
(Mild #Silo #spoilers…) I wasn’t expecting Silo to turn into an anti-AI cautionary tale, but I’m here for it. 🍿 #AppleTV
Interestingly, #Apple has dropped the term ‘Apple Intelligence’ from #macOS27 altogether in favour of ‘Siri AI’. This is in keeping with chatbots having names—Claude, Gemini, etc.—but not with the company’s less personalised approach to natural language interfaces. #Siri #SiriAI #AppleIntelligence
We missed a trick not calling #LLMs ‘slop machines’. 🎰 #GenAI #ResistAI
