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…
Bernie's on a snipe hunt (Google it). AGI is BS. Sanders proposes ban on ‘artificial superintelligence’ after rogue AI incidents www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

- 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.

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.
