Every single AI generated image or video should be required to have immutable metadata and visual watermarks. This shit could get scary real fast

This right here would be a massive story if we weren’t flooded every single day with 10 more things we never considered possible.
A nuclear power plant, in Ukraine, as a spoil of war, for the US, in order *to mine cryptocurrency*, delivered by Putin.
The United States is discussing the possibility of jointly managing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant without Ukraine’s involvement, Putin said.
He claimed that the US is interested in using the plant for cryptocurrency mining. At the same time, Putin said that electricity supplies to Ukraine are also being considered at Washington’s initiative.
Putin added that Ukrainian specialists continue to work at the plant but now hold Russian passports.

Listen. I’ve been building technology for 30 years. The current version of AI is a dangerous experiment, not because it’s ever going to become super-intelligent, but because it’s an even more potent “algorithm” than social media for installing psychoses.
Keep your kids away.
As a veteran of the dotcom era, I wrote about the Big Con—the project by a few oligarchs to control the news, social media, and AI to create a tech bro dynasty where “citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re recording & reporting everything.”

that’s because more than half the time chatgpt is pulling from Reddit as its primary source, only it can’t discern sarcasm, so it’s just taking everything on reddit literally. this is what we’ve built the entire united states economy on

We need to reform internet law so that people like Mustapha Kharbouch can sue this platform for tens of billions of dollars, for platforming, propagating, and monetizing an insane tsunami of vile defamation.

Can you believe that the brilliant "gait analysis" that accused a random Palestinian man of being a murderer turned out to be bunk? After it worked so well with the Jan. 6 pipe bomber investigation?

Over the next 20 years, it looks like the plan is to let the web get polluted by ultra-processed, unauthentic, AI-generated content that will fully deprecate critical engagement online.
The rise of AI-led automation and unemployment will make people even more disconnected from what matters, often feeling purposeless.
I don't see a way to reverse these major techno-social trends and the full 'entshittification' of the web, social networks, and online platforms.
However, I DO SEE an opportunity for the rise of a counter-culture based on a new humanism, as well as pro-human policies and regulations that will protect human expression, development, and excellence.
A lot of work lies ahead (but doing nothing is not an option).

i can't emphasize enough how wonderful this story is
lol -- the WSJ let Anthropic's AI run a vending machine in the newsroom as an experiment.
"It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear.
Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared." wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-cl…
