A great example of the bullshit sales pitch of "AI for everyone." People and populations rendered into data points to benefit corporations.

All AI generated content can do is waste your time. It is, in this sense, stealing your life, the precious finite time you have on this earth from you, every second you are forced to interact with it, forcing you to look at its meaninglessness. It is a mindless vampire.

In 1907, a large bridge in Quebec collapsed due to poor engineering, costing 76 people their lives. From this wreckage, iron rings were made, given to graduating engineers as a reminder to always put safety over money. Today, the iron rings are no longer from the bridge, but the reminder remains.

It turns out that my new favourite genre is mathematicians writing about AI
In recent months, the success of Al in solving major mathematical problems has made headlines even outside mathematical circles.
But solving problems is only a tool and proxy for achieving the primary goal of conceptual understanding and insight. Forgetting this in the world of Al may turn the tool against the primary goal. Indeed, the mass production at faster and faster pace of "true/false" statements could destroy fertile ground instead of breathing life into new ideas.

TFW you publish a preprint about ways to decouple society from the infrastructural collapse prefigured by AI only to discover that the preprint server is already being knocked out of action... 🙄
Screenshot from CERN's preprint server at https://zenodo.org/ saying "Zenodo is currently experiencing slowness and intermittent outages due to heavy automated traffic from bots and AI crawlers. We are aware of the problem, and our team is focused on stabilizing the service. Thank you for your patience"

The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do. It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.
