So advancing AI is a religious crusade now?
Thiel “encouraged an audience to continue working toward scientific progress, whether in AI or other forms of technology. Fearing or regulating it, or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist”

Wow, I found an application where AI-generated illustrations and videos is really useful! Are you familiar with these mobile games ads that don’t look anything like the actual game? Now with AI these ads look even further from the actual games!
Isn’t it wonderful?

After watching a YouTube video a friend recorded of one of his Silksong playthrough, YouTube recommended me a recent provocative video about Denzel Washington allegedly storming off The Late Show with Stephen Colbert stage. I didn't click on it, but it did pique my curiosity, as I didn't expect either men to behave this way. A short web search later, I learned this was entirely made-up: https://burlingtongazette.ca/the-interview-that-never-happened/
And sure enough, Denzel Washington has not been a guest on this show since 2021: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Late_Show_with_Stephen_Colbert_episodes_(2025)

MIT Study Finds Artificial Intelligence Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline - Science, Public Health Policy and the Law
#AI #health #intelligence #NaturalStupidity
A new MIT study titled, Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, has found that using ChatGPT to help write essays leads to long-term cognitive harm—measurable through EEG brain scans. Students who repeatedly relied on ChatGPT showed weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and diminished sense of ownership over their own writing. While the AI-generated content often scored well, the brains behind it were shutting down.
Public Service Announcement:
When someone says "I googled it" they NO LONGER MEAN "I did a web search and this is what one of the web sites that came up in the search said"...
..."I googled it" *now* means "I typed a question into google and google's AI spit out this answer."
Please adjust your conversation and cultural assumptions accordingly.

There's magic trick that can make any #AI project successful. When the LLM's success rate is too low, just say "it's OK, we will have a human in the loop" and ship it anyway.
There's just one problem with this magic trick: most #LLM implementations don't have the thoughtful and intentional guard rails that would make this a real human-in-the-loop system.
Instead, the loop becomes a vicious cycle of deception and deskilling, losing all benefits of oversight.

The Real Reason You Haven't Been Replaced by AI Yet

What a brilliant session with @emilymbender in conversation with @Kobotic at #RMIT tonight.
Key takeaways:
- #BenderRule - name the language you're working in
- #AI is not one technology - it's many in a trenchcoat. Be specific.
- Who benefits from the changes wrought by AI and who bears the harms and externalities?
- AI is hype - learn enough to cut through it, ask difficult questions
- "Pile of racist linear algebra"
- Read everything by @karenhao
- Read #TheAICon by Emily and @alex

BEWARE of Google AI generated video scams -- eight second segments can be a critical clue!
Fraudsters are now using the new advanced #Google #AI video system to create scam videos (including claiming to be from #YouTube) of humans speaking to camera. These are EXTREMELY convincing. One clue (for now) is that the created videos are often limited to eight second segments. To create longer scam videos, fraudsters are stringing together these segments of no more than eight seconds each, usually with a quick fade between them to mask the discontinuities between the segments.
Google is making life much easier for the fraudsters, but much worse for you.
