Elon Musk’s Grok AI violated Canada’s privacy laws and, at one point, was generating more than 6,000 sexual deepfakes every hour, according to Canada’s privacy commissioner.
Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
I ordered this Suisei figure four months ago and I finally got it. Getting figures can be kinda tough now. Either the shipping is $40+ or it's very very slow. This was worth the wait though. It's the best looking figure I have.
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
Elon Musk has just become the world's first trillionaire.
$1,000,000,000,000 is enough money to cover 12.6 million Medicaid enrollees for a decade, provide free school lunch to every kid in America for decades, build up to 2 million affordable homes, or make public college tuition free nationwide for roughly a decade.
I’m sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.
Listen, bad people are going to use this tech to exploit others. Who I’m referring to is me. I’m going to do it. So you’re either going to have to start using it and lose your jobs, or lose your jobs. Jobs I could’ve given you, but I’ve decided this will make me more money.
REMINDER
Anyone who tells you that "all studios" are using AI, that an AI dominated future is "inevitable", or that "AI is here to stay" are either fear mongering in order to pressure you into settling/complying and accepting slop, OR are just making excuses for themselves.
Paramount Games creative chief is skeptical that AI can significantly speed up making games 🎮
"We want human hands to be on our products"
“If we say ‘by fans, for fans’, and then we put AI in ... Did the computer grow up collecting Ninja Turtles action figures? And comic books? And dreaming of skateboarding in the sewers?... No"
"The reality is, those tools haven't reached the point of maturity yet where we can say there are truly meaningful savings to be found"
"While there are perhaps accelerative properties to coding that we can achieve with AI today, actual content development and generation is not moving that much faster ... and certainly not improving the quality of the content that we can create"

What’s so annoying about game dev using AI is that you are supporting a tool that is straight up killing the game industry
Consoles now cost near 1k, pricing out a LOT of gamers out of the hobby
Are you saving so much dev cost that it’s worth losing lot of potential customers?
