Whilst their parents protest against the construction of data centres at local council meetings, their children are writing their university essays using AI, only to end up unemployed later on. They learn this from the speaker at their graduation ceremony

The enshitification of scholarship. Very sad.

John Oliver does a great job of explaining prediction markets https://t.co/DQKjdb487H

“It scarred him for life”

@_KarenHao interviewed someone working in AI content moderation. What he saw was worse than horror films.

She joins @OliDugmore on the Exchange.

If anybody asks how I’m doing right now I’m going to send them this video as a representation of my current state of mind

New moves arrive with new modes of production; new steps for new machines.

First they deindustrialised the North. Now it is the office's turn.

A FTSE bank just described 7,800 of its own staff as "lower-value human capital." White-collar work is the new coalfield, and the algorithm doing the cutting will not apologise the way the boss did on Friday.

42 years ago today I made a surprising discovery that every year has been showing us more and more about the answer to life, the universe and everything...

If AGI were as immanent as they have long claimed, why would OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX not wait until after such a transformative event before going IPO?

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

The western story of Israel's creation was a lie from start to finish. As this short film shows, Israel's founders knew the story was a lie because they were the ones who invented it.

Understanding what happened then makes perfect sense of what is happening now, in Gaza.

A must read paper that dismantles the paradigm of contemporary AI, titled "Why Creativity Cannot be Interpolated"

The embrace of generative A.I. is “'a step down the path of creating a really different kind of future citizen and worker.' This kind of student would be intellectually passive, less likely to see themselves as agents of their own lives." https://t.co/VqmsjpxNeS

The future isn't predicted — it is produced through prediction. Let's not follow in authoritarian footsteps. For more on forecasting and power, read #Prophecy. #books

Cruelty’s in all AI. My creative output was stolen to train it then it took proofreading income I relied on support less reliable work. I’m 60, spent 40 years honing sublime skills with words – writing, editing, illustration. There are many like me, robbed then told AI is better.

Ellena Savage in Kill Your Darlings:
"if you’re interested in outsourcing your cognitive activity to word-prediction algorithms designed by the world’s most diabolical losers, don’t be a writer. Just do anything else."

No, twitter, I do not wish to follow Louis Mosley.

[Dr. Émile P. Torres (they/them) @xriskology]

Almost every day I'm seeing a new article about the TESCREAL ideologies. @timnitGebru and I were right three years ago, though not many people listened to us: there is a movement in Silicon Valley that wants to replace humanity and conquer the universe.

I had a panic about writers using AI and telling us to relax in this week’s column
