OK, I'm obsessed with this study in @science.org
It took Reddit "Am I The Asshole" posts & asked LLMs if the poster was the asshole. Aaand (surprise) AI was more likely to tell people they were NOT the asshole ... even when humans said yeah YTA 🧪

Excellent, heartfelt post by @garymarcus.bsky.social on the more-than-a-decade-old failure of AI/machine learning to create anti-cancer drugs, and why (hint: cancer is not a bug in code).
i got a lot of shit (and very little appreciation) for speaking out, no doubt.

This might be a REALLY good time to listen to @garymarcus.bsky.social 's advice...

I am seeing a lot of calls to boycott OpenAI — and I support them.
It’s one thing for the government to reject @AnthropicAI’s terms—- and entirely another to banish them permanently (and, absurdly and punitively declare them a supply chain risk) in favor of someone else who took pretty similar terms and happened to have given more campaign contributions.
I will never not be angry at the way tech bros have told us that the danger is apocalyptic superintelligence when it was always obvious that the reason to worry is that we would put dumb AI in really stupid places.
Embedding unreliable AI deep into the source code of the military without human oversight is the single stupidest thing we could do as a species.
And that is *exactly* what the United States is about to do.
The urgent plea of @garymarcus.bsky.social demands rapid action: the US Military, in the hands of fascists, seeks to bend Anthropic to the knee in the aims of incorporating AI into military weaponry. Gary asks us to call our political representatives right now. I just did. Now it's your turn.

I don't normally share the news of people's loved ones passing. I have yet to become comfortable with how social media handles this. But this essay by @garymarcus.bsky.social in honor of his mother is too wonderful not to share widely.
Great reference from @garymarcus.bsky.social to this comprehensive paper.

Besides many other important finding, this was pretty clear:

I have a hard time seeing how this doesn’t end badly. A recession, maybe worse.

Der Neurowissenschaftler und #KI- Unternehmer @garymarcus.bsky.social warnt seit Jahren, dass der Boom der »Künstlichen Intelligenz« auf einem Missverständnis beruht. Jetzt häufen sich auffällig die Stimmen, die auf seine Linie einschwenken: archive.is/3PFlk #Interview
