Opinion | Big Tech Is Bad. Big A.I. Will Be Worse.

Tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet/Google have seized a large lead in shaping our potentially A.I.-dominated future.This is not good news.History has shown us that when the distribution of information is left in the hands of a few, the result is political and economic oppression.Without intervention, this history will repeat itself.

Will Universal Basic Income Save Us from AI? | The Walrus

S am Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has ideas about the future.One of them is about how you'll make money.In short, you won't necessarily have to, even if your job has been replaced by a powerful artificial intelligence tool.But what will be required for that purported freedom from the drudgery of work is living in a turbo-charged capitalist technocracy.

Drake's AI clone is here - and Drake might not be able to stop him

A certain type of music has been inescapable on TikTok in recent weeks: clips of famous musicians covering other artists' songs, with combinations that read like someone hit the randomizer button.There's Drake covering singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, Michael Jackson covering The Weeknd, and Pop Smoke covering Ice Spice's "In Ha Mood."

MIT Professor Compares Ignoring AGI to "Don't Look Up"

MIT professor and AI researcher Max Tegmark is pretty stressed out about the potential impact of artificial general intelligence (AGI) on human society.In a new essay for Time, he rings the alarm bells, painting a pretty dire picture of a future determined by an AI that can outsmart us."Sadly, I now feel that we're living the movie 'Don't Look Up' for another existential threat: unaligned superintelligence," Tegmark wrote, comparing what he perceives to be a lackadaisical response to a growing AGI threat to director Adam McKay's popular climate change satire.

Machine Learning Expert Calls for Bombing Data Centers to Stop Rise of AI

One of the world's loudest artificial intelligence critics has issued a stark call to not only put a pause on AI but to militantly put an end to it - before it ends us instead.In an op-ed for Time magazine, machine learning researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, who has for more than two decades been warning about the dystopian future that will come when we achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), is once again ringing the alarm bells.
