I am so thrilled our book is finally out in the world! More good news will be coming soon about it, but for today, I'm just grateful for everyone who helped make this happen!

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

So many amazing people and furry friends here! It's nice to see all this love. My husband and I started a non-profit to help surrendered dogs, especially seniors. If you're able, we could sure use the support! www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-t... And the picture is some of the friends we've helped.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

A plea to all you wonderful folks who are thinking to adopt (not buy) a dog or cat… The shelters are FILLED with animals who’ve been surrendered. Yesterday they had a bed and a family and now they are confused and terrified through no fault of their own. Consider giving them a next chapter.

Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

My husband and I started a non-profit to help surrendered dogs in CA by pledging, supporting rescues, and back end funds. We hoped to help 100 dogs by the end of the year and we’re there! Much more to do but feels great. Here are a few of our happy tails. www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-t...

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

Why is this just so crazy to read from him. Explaining how the robots are not human. Just spelling it out
tangible benefits across many fields. Yet this power remans entirely tied to data
processing. So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate language, behavior and analytical skills, or even simulate empathy and understanding, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. Even when these tools are described as capable of

I disagree and this is kind of a bad take. the vast majority of science fiction across formats, including in text, on both the big and silver screens, and in video games, are largely cautionary tales in some form or another. failing to see those cautionary tales speaks to declining media literacy
