I knew this was stupid but I didn't know it was "we'll use shuttle cars to get sewage from the bottom of a 30 story building that is hanged down from a bridge"-stupid

I'm quite sad at @teenvogue.com folding into Vogue and what's happening to its Politics writers and editors

Over the years Teen Vogue has had some brilliant pieces of political journalism (despite what the branding might have suggested to outsiders, me included until a while ago)
As Condé Nast Folds Teen Vogue Into Vogue’s Website, NewsGuild Condemns the Plan
The union, which reps staffers, says the move was "clearly designed" to blunt the journalism of the brand, which has leaned in to progressive politics.

Dobbiamo dire basta ai "basta alla superintelligenza"?
O è una preoccupazione sottovalutata?

C'è una nuova lettera firmata da personaggi illustri (Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, will.i.am) che chiedono la "proibizione dello sviluppo della superintelligenza finché non ci sia ampio consenso"

Chat Control è il nome informale dato a una proposta molto problematica che rischia di compromettere la privacy di qualunque strumento di comunicazione nell'UE.
Facciamoci sentire e parliamone, perché i rischi sono veramente grossi. #chatcontrol #privacy #unioneeuropea

every time things get stupider beyond my imagination
This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

This is why all the pushing and shaming about individual AI use kinda loses me;

I absolutely agree there are problems with data centers and the environment, sure, but if we want to push people towards effective individual change let's try harder on consuming less beef no?

Questa idea non ha alcun senso:

la falla profonda sottostante a questo formato del foglio AI è che gli LLM alla base di ChatGPT possano rappresentare accuratamente delle persone umane e delle posizioni, ma non funziona.

uh that looks like a mess
The new TikTok US entity would be controlled by a consortium of Silver Lake, Andreessen-Horowitz, and Oracle. 80% US, 20% China ownership. One board member appointed by the US government. Existing users would be expected to shift to a new app (lol).

Would not be surprised if this nukes usership.
Details Emerge on U.S.-China TikTok Deal
Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz are part of an investor consortium that will control an 80% stake.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

alcuni pensieri a caldo su quello che faceva Charlie Kirk e sul perché secondo me non era una modalità così positiva, ma anzi deleteria

in questo, naturalmente, non giustifico in alcun modo il suo omicidio, né gioisco a riguardo. #charliekirk #dibattiti

I forgot about this for a while but the Bryce Elder "Sam Altman's kitchen" piece may be one of my favourite things I've read in business or tech history.
