I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.

A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed.

Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat.

Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

Just a reminder that the people who run AI companies talk like this when amongst themselves and when you ask me if I'm anti-AI, well, I'm anti whatever the fuck this is

From Empire of AI by Karen Hao

"Sutskever now spoke in increasingly messianic overtones, leaving even his longtime friends scratching their heads and other employees ap-prehensive. During one meeting with a new group of researchers, Suts-kever laid out his plans for how to prepare for AGI.

"Once we all get into the bunker-" he began.

"I'm sorry," a researcher interrupted, "the bunker?"

"We're definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI," Suts-kever replied matter-of-factly. Such a powerful technology would surely become an object of intense desire for governments globally. It could es-calate geopolitical tensions; the core scientists working on the technol-ogy would need to be protected. "Of course," he added, "it's going to be optional whether you want to get into the bunker."

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper? Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend — after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage.

That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech.

You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic — and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense — that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Pretty accurate, no?

Six-panel hand-drawn comic strip making fun of so-called AI. Captain Picard asks "Commander Data, please identify that Romulan vessel." Data replies, "Identifying a vessel is a great place to start—in any tactical or strategic outer space situation." Subsequent panels show increasingly convoluted and confused identification attempts, culminating in a discussion of "the plight of oppressed whites in South Africa." Text is hand-lettered throughout, with speech bubbles and thought bubbles. Signed "John Goodman -Bsky -Social".

Am I the jerk? Redditors say yes — but ChatGPT and other bots say no.

ChatGPT and other AI bots tell posters from Reddit's "AITA" subreddit that, actually, they're not the jerks. Should we believe it?

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
