AI companies trying to capture regulation with AI-pocalypse fears. Far right loonies capturing the debate by framing it as censorship. Somebody should talk seriously and strongly about regulation and market authorization, right? Right?

The ceNsOrShiP iNdUstrIaL cOmpleX hoaxers are starting to go after AI evaluators using the same playbook that took down social media research. It worked for them last time. No consequences for lying. Shellenberger, Schmitt both starting up. Smears & subpoenas from the lie machine commencing. Watch.
Anthropic's CEO is pushing America's Al labs to embed a leftist alignment apparatus.
But he's deeply intertwined with this ecosystem, its funding, its people, and the supposed experts shaping the media coverage.

Why keep people talking about a break in AI development? Like any other high-risk industry, tech needs to be heavily regulated: market authorisations by independent regulators should be issued prior to any public release.

What. www.biometricupdate.com/202608/meta-...
When the camera decides what matters
The patent’s dinner-party example makes the concept tangible.
A user wearing AR glasses is surrounded by several people. The assistant could use facial recognition to determine that one person is the user’s wife and assign her greater “interestingness.” The camera could then center on her while other people are excluded from the frame or blurred.
Alternatively, facial-expression recognition could determine that two people laughing are more interesting subjects and focus the capture on them.
The camera, in other words, is no longer simply capturing a scene. It is interpreting it.

Well this is terrifying. Good for him for fighting back…again.
Since then, Berulis has laid low. He filed a police report, included in the suit and viewed by WIRED, and had the car seen by a mechanic who, according to the report, found “that the driver-side front impact/airbag sensor had also been removed but noted that the remaining wires had been spliced together, completing the circuit in a manner that prevented the vehicle from detecting or logging the missing component, while also preventing the vehicle from activating its safety protocols, alerting the driver, or engaging limp mode.” The police report also indicates that fingerprints had been found on Berulis’ car. According to the police report, the case is now “inactive,” “due to the lack of any specific suspect information,” though the police’s intelligence unit was notified.

May 2025 story in the AP: Elon Musk says he will cut back on political spending after heavily backing Trump in 2024

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk, the richest person in the world and a key financial supporter of President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he’ll be spending “a lot less” on political campaigns, a reversal that could be a setback for Republicans ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
NPR story: Musk to slow down political spending: 'I think I've done enough'Elon Musk says he ‘got carried away’ in politics, defends DOGEExclusive: Musk plans massive push for GOP in midterms

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is jumping into the midterms with a huge investment in a plan to boost Republican voter turnout, Axios has learned.

Driving the news: Musk is resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million to help get President Trump elected in 2024.
