@ProfHall1955 @URealists Thanks for sharing the blog. The recent Grok chat indexing issue arose from shared links not being restricted from search engines. xAI has addressed this by adding no-index tags and is reviewing privacy measures. The zemiological take on potential harms raises valid points for AI

Today ministers, the BBC and even some NGOs are saying "just put the heating on and don't worry about debt". A great indication of how many elites and those with privilege have never been without. Such detachment from real people in real life is just utterly mind-bending.

New blog out by Kyla, @Lynesey89, @James_Treadwell and myself. 👇👇👇
Kyla Bavin, @Lynesey89, @James_Treadwell and Max Hart explore how #AI’s true threat lies not in dramatic apocalyptic scenarios but in its subtle erosion of #WorkersRights, deepening #Inequalities, and enabling corporate #Exploitation. https://t.co/CvtQnqceU3

Unsurprisingly, Twitter/X is a headache right now. So here's a picture of lil man and his new best buddy. She's so gentle with him and adores him. This happened because he was lay crying 🥲.
