CEO Who Bragged About Replacing Workers With AI Now Distressed That AI Will Replace His Job Too
Last month, CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski boasted that he hadn't hired anyone in a year because of AI. Now he's worried about his own job.

They said it again. Someone said the thing again.
"Researchers have already studied the possibility of CEOs becoming an endangered species in the age of AI."
"[...] would say 80 percent of the work that a CEO does can be replaced by AI."
People keep babbling about robots and fry cooks... Nah.

What’s crazy is people have been waving a red flag about Substack profiting on health disinformation for years. It was actually the original problem before Substack courted and began profiting from Nazism. I don’t get why anyone who does work on the information ecosystem can justify publishing there
Substack has an antiscience health disinformation problem.
MAD recognizes the importance (& influence) of media ownership – which is why we are sounding warnings about Substack.

Substack has a Nazi problem AND a health disinformation problem
Substack creators and Substack audiences are supporting a platform that profits off of promoting dangerous antiscience content – at the expense of public health.

Getting people to take up this attitude is the point in hamfisted system prompt stuffing at xAI
An answer, confirmed not only by human minds but also AI, would be solar and wind. Solar and wind guided by AI systems is already in practice in China. We can't do it

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Is the goal of the US government to actually do this? Absolutely not. This is a way to secure resources from RAM to GPUs to the energy to run them to set us backwards by 40 years of progress. 🤦

Am I nuts, or does this say we'll put all of our scientific papers into a big data warehouse, let a bunch of people working on"AI" train some new LLMs, and then magic will happen. The AI will start generating and testing hypotheses until it solves humanities problems? What a load of crap. Money grab

Seen a lot of people wondering why X, The Everything App would have a feature that gives away how much of the popular right wing accounts are foreign actors and this is why. They thought every left wing account would be that way because every accusation is also a confession.
Planned Parenthood uses a VPN so its twitter location is shown as Germany and now all of MAGA twitter thinks Planned Parenthood is a fake organization based in Europe.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The big issue is a lot of these models will likely become open-source and runnable on consumer hardware; even when the bubble collapses it probably won’t prevent this tech from being a thing that is used in the world (maybe it becomes less mass available in an app).
