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
What if the real alignment problem isn’t to get AI systems to be aligned with human goals and values, but to get *AI companies* to be so, one being a function of the other? #AIEthics #LLMs
A student in my philosophy of mind and AI class today described it as “rage bait every week”—and we haven’t even got to the AI part yet! (I’ve decided to take it as a positive. 😅)
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
As a rule of thumb, the people who are most enthusiastic about #GenAI are those who are least committed to truth, accuracy and expertise in their own lives. In short, they have similar characteristics to an LLM, and assume everyone else does too. #Enshittification
Excited to hear @olivia.science’s research on what #AI is and why it is harmful at today’s @adaptcentre.bsky.social webinar. (Happening now!) #PhilAI #CogSci
Setting up a peer assessment assignment for my 100+ Mind & AI students. This could all go horribly wrong… 😬 #teaching #academia
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. 😓
