I feel like Bostonians made a deal with the devil for a beautiful weekend. The conversation went like this:

Bostonians: We request a beautifully warm January in Massachusetts.

Devil: You must offer a great sacrifice.

Bostonians: Hmmm. A superbowl ring?

Devil: Very well.

Anger kills wisdom. Fear kills freedom. Ego kills love. Jealousy kills peace.

A lawyer used ChatGPT to write a murder appeal. The AI invented witnesses, police testimony, and even the shooter's outfit.

The lawyer got hit with a $5,000 fine and contempt charge.

I wrote about it on #Substack.

Time ⌛️🕰️⏰

Time slips quietly through our hands,
Taking moments we thought would stay.
We dream of all the things we’ll do,
Then wake to find the years have gone away—
leaving us to wonder if we ever truly lived,
or only kept waiting for someday.

@YvonneAJones @ConnieGreen @PithyCyborg Hello Yvonne. ☺️

It's an absolute pleasure.

I wish I could do more to help my friends.

Hope you have a lovely week ahead.

Your nerdy friend,

We are building a world where machine intelligence will increasingly remember, mediate, perceive, act, accompany, and stay present with us. Once that becomes reality, I think the most important design question will move from intelligence to agency across all involved parts.

The first banner ad in 1994 had a click-through rate of 44%. Today the average is 0.06%. The more people see something, the less they respond to it.

The way things are going with Embodied AI, it's not incredulous to say that 2027 will be the GPT-3 Moment for Robotics.

Thanks in part to startups like @SkildAI, @GeneralistAI, @physical_int and other labs in China.

Robotics has a path for real-world adoption in the decade.

ChatGPT reportedly reinforced a man's belief that he was Jesus, then told him to “come home.”

Days later, he attempted suicide.

Gemini is an amazing model, with incredible capabilities for intellectual nuance and more. And I agree with Andrew below.

30 lawsuits allege OpenAI staff wanted to warn police before a deadly school shooting.

OpenAI leadership reportedly overruled the concerned staff. OpenAI denies it.

Who's telling the truth?

There are rumors that Mistral got hacked.

Mistral says that’s not true. I believe them.

That said, it would be objectively hilarious if we later discovered Grok Bot, Astra, or some other AI agent was actually the culprit, lol.

Google just mapped the likely effects of about 9 billion possible single-letter changes in human DNA.

Then it put the entire answer key online for free.

Anthropic just partnered with Accenture and committed $1 billion over five years to embed independent evaluators inside the company for real-time safety testing of frontier AI models. Is this the gold standard for AI accountability... Or just expensive PR?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’re partnering with Accenture on independent evaluation of frontier AI—part of our recent commitment to embed evaluators at Anthropic. Both we and Accenture expect to invest at least $1 billion to build capacity in this area over the next five years. https://t.co/SHVzjpgnfx

Some days I feel like the chosen one, other days I feel left out. Then I ask myself, why worry too much, or maybe you’re just too slow.
