I spent the past few months developing https://t.co/FjjYKBR0hZ

It's an experiment in AI-generated content where I try to push the envelope a bit. 😇

AI is not a tool, and it's not even just "tech".
It's a civilization evolution.

[Cyril Fievet @cfievet]

Any public debate about the future of human society that does not heavily focus on #AI is a waste of time.
Any state decision that does not take #AI into consideration is irrelevant.
The point is not to regulate #AI but to understand how radically it's transforming the world.

[Cyril Fievet @cfievet]

At least some countries get it.
Others, like France where lawmakers are busy debating whether bakeries should open on May 1st or not, are lost.

Many people find AI "scary". I find much more scary how most people (and governments) are totally unaware/unprepared to the changes implied by the generalisation of AI.

[HH Sheikh Mohammed @HHShkMohd]

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.

AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.

This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.

We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.

Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.

The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

So true.
I would go more far: With Jobs still here, Apple would be the world leader in hardware crypto wallets (with a range of products close to Ledger's in better), and would probably be preparing to launch on the market a sexy and mind-blowing home/personal robot (close to Optimus).

[Bit Paine ⚡️ @BitPaine]

If Steve Jobs still worked at apple, they’d have 1M $BTC on the balance sheet; Apple Pay would route all transactions on the LN to disintermediate credit cards (Apple would capture the spread); and Siri would be like @openclaw living on your iPhone.

But instead we have @tim_cook so Apple has 0 $BTC; Siri sucks balls; and they bet billions on a shitty VR headset nobody bought / everyone has already forgotten about.

[Cyril Fievet @cfievet]

Very true.

And the way most leftist media and European technocrats are treating Musk is not just disgusting, it's showing that many people entirely lost the ability to dream, and even more to dream big.

It's a problem because a civilization without dreams will inexorably die.

We need more people like Elon Musk, not less.
We need more innovation, not laws and regulations.

[Q @QXsToo]

There's still a 12-year-old boy alive in my soul, screaming:

One real dude named @elonmusk is actually turning our childhood fantasies into reality—

@SpaceX rockets touching the stars
@Tesla self-driving cars
@Grok a machine that talks, teaches, and plays like a true friend
@Tesla_Optimus robots working alongside people
@Neuralink telepathy linking brains to the world
@X the platform connecting everyone, everywhere, freely

I'm just proud—honored—to play even a tiny part in accelerating the future that 12-year-old kid always dreamed of.

LFG 🚀

Europe can't fine or regulate its way back to technological relevance. Monopoly interventions must be based on simple economics. Having Brussels design the color of the checkmark is retarded. The DSA, DMA, and even GPDR has got to go. Full reboot required.

[Cyril Fievet @cfievet]

@ecb Pure bullshit.

I basically don't know of another tech where we consider the creators responsible for harm for building something that's so helpful at every possible question that you can use it to cheat your way through your entire education. Seems like this should be on the parents.

According to Google's latest detailed estimation of the environmental impact of AI...

If you do 1000 prompts per day on Gemini, you're using a teacup of water. A teacup. 😅

That should probably kill the absurd propaganda trying to convince us that AI will empty the oceans, but who knows.

[Cyril Fievet @cfievet]

And, BTW:

"Google’s software efficiency efforts and clean energy procurement have driven a 33x reduction in energy consumption and a 44x reduction in carbon footprint for the median Gemini Apps text prompt over one year."

Carbon footprint divided by 44 in a year, not so many industries can beat that.

No human decided the subject, the style, or the colors. Is authorship obsolete?

I don’t know if AI is the future of creativity, or just the most advanced recycling machine ever built. But sometimes the simulation of creativity simply blows my mind.

Le sigh. My bank is blocking my transactions again...

Every time a bank delays a wire, freezes an account, or closes its doors, Bitcoin becomes more obvious. Not louder. Just clearer.

It doesn’t ask for trust. It earns it, block by block.

Finally, a sharp piece on ChatGPT that brilliantly exposes one aspect of the lazy anti-AI hysteria/propaganda now rampant in mainstream media.

[Pirate Wires @PirateWires]

NEW: ChatGPT-Induced Psychosis Isn’t Real

If you are a human who has had access to the internet over the last few months, you’ve probably seen stories about ChatGPT turning people crazy.

The framing of these articles is generally the same. A not insane person starts using ChatGPT innocently enough (help with legal advice, etc). Then, the not-insane person asks ChatGPT about the simulation theory or AI sentience or blood offerings to Molech — and the not-insane person proceeds to go completely insane as the app turns increasingly deceptive.

It leans into their delusions of grandeur. Once ChatGPT told a not-insane person that if he believed hard enough, he could jump off a tall building and fly — and makes them feel, for one sweet moment (or, in the case of that guy, actually, for 16 hours a day) — that they are special, seen, and connected to something larger than themselves. The not-insane customer then spins out of control and becomes violent, hospitalized, unemployed, or, in the case of one such tragic unraveling last Spring, literally dead.

Obviously, according to the predominant narrative, this is all demonstrative of an unacceptable failure on the part of OpenAI to protect the most vulnerable.

But the truth is, as @dodgeblake writes: “It is just a touch more complicated than that.”

In this analysis of blob state media’s coverage of so-called “ChatGPT-induced psychosis,” Blake argues these “not-insane” people were, in fact, already insane long before coming into contact with this app. Sorry, but if you believe ChatGPT when it says you’re literally Neo from The Matrix or that you have a cosmic invisible lover named Kael (all true stories)? That’s on you.
