In this op-ed, @emilymbender.bsky.social & I remind everyone that it's the BELIEF that these products are "superintelligent," enough to rely on them for this type of use, that almost rendered humanity extinct.

Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us. This is pretty much how the US is approaching AI risks and regulations. My latest:

Why We Can't Let Enormous Weirdos Regulate AI

Imagine if instead of regulating drones via the standard lengthy, boring, and bureaucratic process - which we did - we instead decided, in the name of fostering all-important American drone innovation...

The Ravens came later for breakfast this morning and it is the first morning I have been cold sat with them for a while. They had some egg and suet and then Chips had a little clack at me before Gravy came to groom him. It seems to always be Gravy grooming Chips!! Just look at Chips face! 😊

Sure, on the one hand Muse doesn't really do anything, but on the other hand it opens up a massive attack surface on literally all your shit

Muse, Meta's extraordinarily privileged AI assistant, has a serious 0-day

A simple ClickFix attack is only one way to completely hijack the new agent.

Tiny things remind me why I keep doing what I do. A mini-thread about why teaching is valuable, & not always for anything having to do with the subject you teach. So, in my math classes, I have personal student whiteboards. We use them for practice during class. A student drew this on one of them:

In case it was unclear, suggesting that anyone with a disability needs gen AI to do amazing art is, in and of itself, incredibly ableist. Do not spit on those who have found innumerable ways of making art without stealing from others and polluting the planet. It is disgusting to suggest as much.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

I assume anyone who points out how small the trans population is doesn’t know any trans people & I guess that’s what it takes to care? Because if you know even ONE trans person, like a person in your life, how can you think about that person and conclude it’s okay if they get thrown under the bus?

Exactly this. Yesterday someone posted Pangram score as "proof" of that someone used of AI to write article. They don't get the irony of trusting this type of program unconditionally. These tools are biased against 'nonnative' speakers and have most often been weaponized against Black writers.

What openAI is doing here as part of their ongoing propaganda effort, is picking through the guts of these processes, picking out instances of garbage text being generated, classing them as "alignment failures", and then "disclosing" them.
