Can we get an actual investigation of the Hugging Face hack? I'd bet we have been misled about what happened. Someone almost certainly went to Altman and got his permission to do dangerous things. But we don't know because we got a sci-fi novel instead of an investigation.

Sam Altman is warning the world about Sam Altman, and says we need to stop Sam Altman because Sam Altman can’t stop Sam Altman.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has a warning: Russia is planning a serious rocket attack against a NATO country on the eastern flank, which it'll pass as "accidental."

The goal: paralyze NATO and weaken Article 5 commitments.

At the Bernie-Bannon AI hysteria conference, they allowed a heretical voice on stage—who happens to be one of the smartest & most accomplished technologists on Earth.

Jaron Lanier explained the origins of the problem—Minsky et al. anthropomorphizing AI because it sold well.

The problem begins with calling it artificial *intelligence* far before you could plausibly argue that it was.

Jaron calmly explains how the industry is now essentially a religion focused on building a machine god instead of tools for humans.

For example, he says “agents” used to mean agents of humans—but now the industry switched it to “agentic AI” which makes loops of prompts sound like they have motivation or sentience.

This is really worth watching. Jaron is a legitimate genius.

We have to build AI that murders us, because if we don’t, China will build it first, and I don’t want to get murdered by a computer that speaks Chinese. That would be ridiculous.
