Just saw on r/sneerclub:
Department of War CTO twitted: “The United States will NEVER be an effective altruist country. 🇺🇸”
And there’s a photo of Trump with the text: “AMERICANISM, NOT EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM!”
Here’s the reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/1wj6r6n/trump_is_trying_to_win_the_sneerclub_vote/
Most read article on BBC this morning: AI staff ‘genuinely frightened’ for humanity’s future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC
Guardian reporting it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/22/openai-says-its-models-went-rogue-and-hacked-startup-in-unprecedented-incident
They do have a partnership with OpenAI though: https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2025/feb/14/guardian-media-group-announces-strategic-partnership-with-openai
Novara media also drinking the kool aid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnqZNnWU8Kg which is disappointing.
Congrats on the documentary! I watched it last month and I’ve been recommending it to others.
Ran into these two videos today: AI Crash Report: The Money Furnace, AI Crash Report: The Physics of the Collapse.
Full of generated images, but seems to carry a good message.
I thought we all agreed that 4 was the random number.
Wouldn’t whoever is running the bot just be able to do a quick .replace() before feeding the raw data into it? What would be funnier is to get the bot to generate the string itself and then stop, without it being obiously present in the input. :)
Ryanair now makes you install their app instead of allowing you to just print and scan your ticket at the airport, claiming it’s “better for our environment (gets rid of 300 tonnes of paper annually).” Then you log in into the app and you see there’s an update about your flight, but you don’t see what it’s about. You need to open an update video, which, of course, is a generated video of an avatar reading it out for you. I bet that’s better for the environment than using some of these weird symbols that I was putting into a box and that have now magically appeared on your screen and are making you feel annoyed (in the future for me, but present for you).
Also Timnit Gebru and Emily Bender published this https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/22/1144867/dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype/ which links to a good explanation by Heidy Khlaaf in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwv8zfGyvP8.
