Reading, or at the very least, skimming the bullet points of this thread is absolutely mandatory for anyone claiming to have any opinion on our current state of AI. If this isn’t chilling to you, you should deeply wonder why not

A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this.

Israel believes Iran moved thousands of uranium-enrichment centrifuges into tunnels deep inside a mountain last fall, Israeli and U.S. officials say, a development that would heighten concerns that Tehran could reconstitute its nuclear program. https://t.co/Ulufwe1ttJ

Trump is so fucking dumb that when he heard that semiconductors use "transistors," he thought they said "transgenders."

That's how fucking stupid our President is.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Trump, a billionaire, did a meme coin rug pull to his own supporters, transferring $600-700 million of wealth from the MAGA base to his already wealthy family.

Argentina's right-wing President Javier Milei did the same to his supporters, promoting the Libra crypto pump-and-dump scheme.

They don't care a bit about their supporters. They see them as stupid losers -- which, honestly, they are, if they still support these crooks.

The LA mayor stuff is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard & makes no sense. Dem establishment/Bass wanted Pratt, not Raman, to advance.

Bass crushes Pratt in a 1-on-1 by 18 pt, while Raman beat Bass by 4.

Pratt's the rarity in LA less popular than the unpopular Bass!
