Great piece here from @karenhao.bsky.social We keep lazily saying "AI could cure cancer" when in fact *this* AI is more suited to mistakenly bombing schools and making people psychotic. We can only redirect it through investment, regulation and resistance. www.theguardian.com/…

"There's an ineffable aspect to my favorite pieces of software where I don't think of it is as feature matrix but rather as an interface made by a human for humans that's a joy to use. And when you build software with AI, it leads to worse software." brettcodes.com/im-done-usi…

My partner reading this Guardian article: "They turned off the safeguards, then didn't monitor it... it's like 'I took my hands off the steering wheel and the car crashed', big fucking surprise!" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
The press is always so negative about AI. Why oh why wasn't this written up as "AI reduces patient caseload, saves GP surgeries time for those who need it"? www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
