I'm going to try out Threads when it launches later today. You can find me over there @cosmicwit

The original version of Monopoly was created by a woman in 1904 to illustrate the risks of unregulated capitalism. Her game was considered too complicated at the time, and later it was copied and sold commercially without acknowledging her as the creator.

Big AI companies are trying to restrict states from regulating AI by adding a dangerous eleventh-hour provision to the annual National Defense Authorization Act. Contact your representatives – there are only a few days left to stop this! Link: https://t.co/V6UbTY9OL3

In response to all the talk lately of AI systems becoming conscious, and Anthropic hiring its first "AI welfare researcher," I wrote a piece explaining how prematurely attributing consciousness or sentience to AI systems presents enormous risks

I know AI has helped accelerate medical research and all that but perhaps its greatest boon to date is allowing us to make sense of Slavoj Žižek's overall body work

There's a scene that didn't make the final cut in Blade Runner where we learn that Tyrell is also a replicant, the real Tyrell having died long ago. I'm not saying the same thing happened with Zuckerberg but that sure would explain a lot.
