If you are not worried about this you are not paying enough attention.
If you live in the West.. pay attention. If you have any investments, pay attention. If you are the kind of person who threw away all of your old paper maps, pay attention.

A quite interesting take. I see a sort of "continental psychology" angle. Americans are more optimistic than Europeans = have leapt headlong into all this crypto (and AI!) shit.
You don't see Brussels making a strategic crypto reserve or removing bank guardrails...

This about sums the outer bounds of AI up. Surface level "thinking" *seems* ok, and I imagine especially so if it's a domain you are not familiar with. The reality is that it's 100% garbage.

It's funny how European tension fields don't exist in the Americas. This dude (Salvador Nava Martínez) was apparently some kind of Mexican socialist badass.
A statue with this kind of stretched out right hand gesture is hard to imagine in Europe, for "reasons" (like 70m dead people not long ago) 🙃

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘Stop doing this to him’
Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’
Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams, has spoken out against AI-generated content featuring her father.
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote in an Instagram story on Monday. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. Continue reading...

This is fascinating. The American crypto love affair facilitates a kind of wealth transfer, akin to old-school Social Democrat ideas like wealth and inheritance tax. But the wealth escapes any subsequent political control here, of course.

Weak consumer protections and the rise of crypto have given scammers new ways to target seniors. Cash-to-Bitcoin machines are helping them: “They can’t get the funds back and they can’t identify who,” the scammer is. From James Baratta: trib.al/rbzeOcz
Crypto Bank Machine Operators Swindle Seniors
Once described as the ‘AR-15s of the financial services industry,’ crypto ATMs remain a hotbed for scams targeting vulnerable communities. But third-party fraudsters aren’t the only ones laughing all the way to the bank.

The thread below is hands down the most cogent text on the current state of symbolic generative AI, and of the corporate tech complex that runs it, that I have read in ages
I just wanna grab this part of my ramble about AI from all of this; I think it's insufficiently understood the extent to which AI models as they are currently being commercially deployed are an effort to commercialize a specific novel technological discovery - the transformer - for funding
It’s probably worth noting btw in the line of your position that a lot of what’s going on on social media around this is people looking for a way to blame individuals for marketing campaigns by large companies
AI art was a small hobbyist curiosity until companies started flooding the zone w/models

If Europe could stop being butthurt over JD Vance's speech that'd be great. Some things were true and some a little cray cray. The saddest insight is how badly some Americans and some Europeans understand each other
