Well done Peter Magyar the cat loving new Hungarian President

@Britannica @MerriamWebster Also, overbreeding. Dogs with squished faces (like controller bulldogs) don't live very long either

The Minneapolis Police Dept is now outnumbered and outgunned 3:1 by an out of state white supremacist gang with military grade weapons.

That's how we need to think and talk about this.

@bayeslord Plants might be conscious. LLMs, no.

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Everyone—and not just @theinformation—should be genuinely terrified that the richest man in the world has built a Large Language Model that spouts propaganda in his image.

This isn’t free speech. It’s a massive, massive thumb on the scale, from one
of the most powerful yet unelected people in the world.

If that doesn’t scare you, you aren’t paying attention.

A better term for LLM-generated errors than "hallucinate":

@walterkirn Just wait til many people's social world consists mainly of AI friends and loves. Seemingly ingratiating and independent, actually manipulative on behalf of their owner corporation.

'Companies Flaunt Basic Cyber Hygiene' @wsj headline over article about companies FLOUTING basic...
human error or AI headline writer?

After watching the racism dial turn further and further on this site, I decided to try and publicly make as definitive a case as I could. We're so far past the point of no return that I'm out of excuses for myself. Been a good 15+ year run. Bye! https://t.co/scPPVGDiac

Are we seeing the end of human-made art?

@judithd, @marthafiennes and @JohnRalstonSaul debate how worried we should be about AI advancements in generating art, music and literature. https://t.co/PbVb5IW8s6

@Adrian081983276 @AuschwitzMuseum Hopefully the future will not provide a vivid illustration to answer your question

[Judith Donath @[email protected] @judithd]

@BKCHarvard @zittrain @griffinmuseum very good discussion! (and some debating -- e.g. I am not worried that we'll ru n out of styles. No one in 1900 anticipated Cubism, hip-hop, the writings of Joyce and Faulkner.)

“We are now going to be tested on our moral instincts about what an artist can say on their own… what happens when all the styles are taken? Can we even make an original song?” - @zittrain at tonight’s @griffinmuseum panel on AI, Ethics, and Social Media with @judithd

[Judith Donath @[email protected] @judithd]

From generated realities to post-real postings--we'll be talking about AI, art, and evidence at the Griffin Museum tomorrow (Wed) evening. See https://t.co/HnHYN7EH2B for more info and livestream

[Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society @BKCHarvard]

AI, creativity, and truth in visual imaging - where better to discuss it than a museum? Join @zittrain and @judithd at the @griffinmuseum in Winchester, MA or online next Weds 10/23 at 6:30 pm.

Eric Adams has been charged with serious crimes.

But he also stands accused of behaving in ways so breathtakingly buffoonish and ill-advised, that the whole thing transcends ordinary crime and makes its way to a comedic plane. https://t.co/eQgn5i6wd4

In English, the word "work" is overloaded, referring both to menial labor and creative effort. Great essay on the ancient history and importance of distinguishing between them

In an age when machines can replace all sorts of human labor, what work should people actually do? The answer lies in centuries-old Jewish texts, @RabbanitSara writes: https://t.co/ohi3yOThNX
