Geoffrey Hinton warns that AIs are now faking their intelligence.
“U.S. app uninstalls of ChatGPT’s mobile app jumped 295% day-over-day on Saturday, February 28, as consumers responded to the news of OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense (DoD), which has been rebranded under the Trump administration as the Department of War.”
“The administration's decisions cap an acrimonious dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon over whether the company could prohibit its tools from being used in mass surveillance of American citizens or to power autonomous weapon systems, as part of a military contract worth up to $200 million.”
“Discord has cut ties with Persona after revelations that the Peter Thiel-backed identity verification software was linked to US surveillance infrastructure.”
3/3 “Baldacci reveals why this is the "hill he will die on" and calls for urgent guardrails to hold these trillion-dollar companies accountable.”
2/3 “He warns that the current AI boom is a dangerous "nuclear arms race" that threatens to eliminate millions of jobs and produce "dumbed down" content lacking human empathy.”
1/3 “Best-selling author David Baldacci explains why he is suing OpenAI and Big Tech, describing the unauthorized use of his novels as "1984 on steroids" and a direct theft of his life's work.”
“The head of the wannabe War Department met with Anthropic’s founder on Tuesday and issued an ultimatum to drop the safeguards that prevent Claude from being used for dubious and dangerous purposes, or the AI startup could potentially be labeled as a national security threat.”

“The debate over AI’s environment impact remains one of the most fraught in tech policy. Depending on what we read, AI is either an ecological crisis in the making or a rounding error in global energy use. As AI moves rapidly into video, clarity on its footprint is more urgent than ever.”
