@PaulSkallas it's the age of idiocracy... but it will fall soon and everyone who kept reading will be rewarded

@Midewontmiss literally every friendship i've ever had. 🤷‍♀️

@Squeeze1i yes literally describes me. its hard but trying to build connections around shared interests can help.

@jasteinerman love jony but it's going to be another over the top gadget for the ultra wealthy. No one will buy it b/c they don't want to be forced to use openAI software.

[barkbellowroar @barkbellowroar]

all these lawsuits are starting to expose OpenAI's "win at all cost" mentality. Poaching staff and getting them to commit felonies by violating trade secret agreements?

Remember: the ethics of the men building AGI will shape it, possibly forever.

🔥 MIT just exposed every top AI model and it’s not pretty.

They built a new test called WorldTest to see if AI actually understands the world… and the results are brutal.

It doesn’t just check how well a model predicts the next frame or maximizes reward it tests whether it can build an internal model of reality and use it to handle new situations.

They built AutumnBench 43 interactive worlds, 129 tasks where AIs must:

• Predict hidden parts of the world (masked-frame prediction)
• Plan sequences of actions to reach a goal
• Detect when the environment’s rules suddenly change

Then they tested 517 humans vs. Claude, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and o3.

Humans crushed every model. Even massive compute scaling barely helped.

The takeaway is wild.. today’s AIs don’t understand environments; they just pattern-match inside them.

They don’t explore strategically, revise beliefs, or run experiments like humans do.

WorldTest might be the first benchmark that actually measures understanding, not memorization.

The gap it reveals isn’t small it’s the next grand challenge in AI cognition.

@elonmusk @CoorsLightCEO SA posting on X is building a user base to take to possibly ... "Feather" (get it? cause X killed the twitter bird) Social media, Search, App Store, Operating Systems (o1), the IO devices ... he's not "working with" current digital infrastructure companies, he's wiping them out.

[barkbellowroar @barkbellowroar]

@elonmusk @CoorsLightCEO pledging to "spend" is a 'sheep in wolf's clothing' move to reduce suspicion by targets. He's saying 2027 b/c that's when he thinks he'll have won. Already got chat 6, 7 (lol) trademarked with a social app, app store and the next search engine lined up... https://t.co/dLZq9rIQwz

@BecomingCritter it's safer/less pressure to be wrong for men - women are perfectionists (from self/societal pressures) and comedy requires experimentation which obviously comes with failure in public.

Sam Altman is a liar.

一 Ex-OpenAI board member

[barkbellowroar @barkbellowroar]

@yacineMTB he wants total control - he's working with peter thiel and they want global power. They just convinced 100s of corporations and even govt to embed openai software in their systems. He doesn't want to cash out b/c he never intends to. This is his Roman Empire.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

@OpenAI One of the greatest financial heists ever.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

In a world where artificial intelligence can replicate a person’s voice or face in seconds, Denmark is stepping forward with a groundbreaking proposal: a copyright law that grants every citizen ownership of their own likeness.

If passed, this law would mean no one — not even AI companies — could legally use your face, voice, or body data without consent. The move comes amid growing global concerns about deepfakes, where digital replicas of real people are used in scams, misinformation, and even political manipulation.

[Anton51 @Anton51Art]

@ZakugaMignon Good article! Really shows how Openai’s mafia style approach just ruins their relationship with Hollywood. And everyone’s copyright. I can see why Sam was fired at first.

🚨 SHOCKING: Sam Altman says he "expects some really bad stuff to happen," but it doesn't seem to bother him much. [HINT: OpenAI's legal department is probably FUMING over his comments; make sure to save this clip]:

This is a clip from Sam Altman's podcast interview with a16z, a venture capture company in Silicon Valley.

A reminder that Sam Altman was the president of Y Combinator, one of the world's most famous startup accelerators, so he is naturally comfortable talking to VCs.

As a result, in this interview, he has likely let it slip more than his legal team would like him to. The statements he shared here are probably as close as we can get to what he really thinks, plans, and expects.

At minute 1:00 of the clip below, one of the interviewers asks him about his current thoughts on AI safety.

He answers:

"I do still think there're gonna be some really strange or scary moments... The fact that so far, the technology has not produced a really scary giant risk doesn't mean it never will (...) I expect some really bad stuff to happen."

Let us get this straight:

The CEO of the company is publicly saying that HE EXPECTS some really bad stuff to happen (related to the type of product his company is developing).

From a legal liability perspective, this is a bomb, and I'm sure his legal department is extremely unhappy with this interview and told him to avoid these types of statements and framing.

Why?

He is publicly saying that he is expecting a catastrophe.

At the same time, he is not saying he will stop whatever his company is doing that might lead to this catastrophe.

So if/when a catastrophe, or AI-related harm occurs in connection to OpenAI's products and services, he and his company will NOT be able to benefit from arguments such as:

"we could not have foreseen that"
"we had no idea"
"this was unpredictable"
"we have no responsibility"
"we could not have prevented it"

All those typical corporate excuses for facing liability claims will fall apart.

Sam Altman/OpenAI cannot have it both ways: they cannot benefit from publicly fetishizing an AI catastrophe, but then say that they could not have foreseen it or done anything to prevent it.

@AutismCapital this is now on apple arcade... anyone tried it? is it still like the original?

[barkbellowroar @barkbellowroar]

@FreddyInSpace this brings up a great point on behavior... I've happily rewatched house, ncis, law and order and modern family over the years, even if I'd seen it a million times.

I have not once felt the urge to rewatch the multi-million $$ production-heavy dramas like Stranger Things. 🤔

[barkbellowroar @barkbellowroar]

I don't follow carlson but this was a bold move and the evasive response is not being discussed enough. This is a case we can't wait to go cold and find out the truth 15 years later on some true crime podcast. #justiceforSuchir
