Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

There's still somewhat of an art to writing good code, because it is a form of communication towards the next developer to look at or touch it. Decent code runs. Good code runs and explains how and why it runs.

The thing I worry about is that the "knowing what to delegate to it safely" thing is a function of deep familiarity with the process that takes seniority and experience to develop, and I can see the potential of junior folks not developing that underlying knowledge--

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.

Obligatory note that "AI" has become toxic because people consider it synonymous with generative AI, when it's really about a broader category of machine learning. But this is a case where you absolutely cannot put this one back in the bottle: "AI" is forever tainted and that's just how it is.

Hopefully this will encourage the companies who have been doing interesting, cool, innovative, and really useful machine learning work for decades to stop trying to cash in on the AI hype by recasting all their products as "AI innovations" before the bubble pops.
