The risks around artificial intelligence might be better understood by following the money not the technology....

This suggests we need to be regulating (better) the economic & market uses of AI, rather than focussing on its technical capabilities.

Indeed, states have a long history of regulating markets, and whatever some economists seem to think, regulation is what has most often saved capitalism from eating itself!

Seems like artificial intelligence is more artificial than intelligent, especially when Musk is involved.

Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking . X's made it up.

“A shocking story was promoted on the "front page" or main feed of Elon 's #X on Thursday: " Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles," read the headline.

Text Shot: This would certainly be a worrying world news development. Earlier that week, Israel had conducted an airstrike on Iran's embassy in Syria, killing two generals as well as other officers. Retaliation from Iran seemed like a plausible occurrence. SEE ALSO: I’ve been forcibly blue-checked on Elon Musk's X. Here’s what it’s like. But, there was one major problem: Iran did not attack Israel. The headline was fake. Even more concerning, the fake headline was apparently generated by X's own official AI chatbot, Grok, and then promoted by X's trending news product, Explore, on the very first day of an updated version of the feature.

    Retro computing.

    A pixel art depiction of a vintage computer setup. The scene includes a bulky CRT monitor displaying a vibrant pixel landscape with a night sky. Next to the monitor is a tall, tower-style desktop computer with a green power light, indicating it’s turned on. In front of the monitor sits a keyboard with a noticeable blue backlight and a wired mouse to the side. The desk is detailed, with textures that suggest a wood grain finish, and a classic desk lamp stands to the left, adding a touch of warmth to the scene. The artwork evokes nostalgia for the early days of personal computing, where such setups were common for gaming, programming, or general use. The pixel art style is reminiscent of the graphics from games of that era, reinforcing the retro theme.

    This week I've been mainly reading, no. 143.

    Becky Chambers, A Closed & Common Orbit (2016), expands a plot element about AI from her first book into the central focus of this sequel. (implicitly?) picking up a plot from McCaffrey's classic The Ship that Sang, this is a compelling story of how an AI achieves it/her independence & their friendships that this entails. Once again Chambers has written an emotionally rich, unusual but highly timely SciFi.

    Meta’s AI image generator really struggles with the concept of interracial couples.

    CNN reports: "Despite the many promises of generative AI’s future potential emanating from the tech industry, the gaffes from Meta’s AI image generator are the latest in a spate of incidents that show how generative AI tools still struggle immensely with the concept of race."

    The future is AI. Cartoon for Trouw.

    Cartoon showing a family standing, smiling and posting, in a beautiful mountain landscape. The landscape, however, is created by giant computer screens. The top menu on one of the screens reads ‘AI Nature Simulator, with a drop-down menu with the options ‘Forest’, ‘Mountains’ and ‘Sea’. The cursor is hovering over the option ‘Mountains’. Behind the screens, we can see a jumble of giant servers, cables and power cords standing in a desolate landscape with a few dead trees in the background. Large pipes go from the servers into the cracked ground to extract cooling water.

    I won't lie,
    I wish I could get high,
    So I don't just sit in my bed and cry,
    Think of bad things and wonder why,
    I can't think of cute cats in little bowties.

    A strikingly intense and colorful artwork that combines elements of the macabre with cosmic wonder. At the center is a detailed illustration of a demon skull, complete with large, twisting horns that extend outward, framing the composition. The skull is highly stylized with intricate lines and vibrant colors that give it a neon glow, reminiscent of the visual style often seen in science fiction and fantasy-themed art. Set against the dark backdrop of space, speckled with stars and nebulae in shades of purple, pink, and blue, the skull appears to be floating in the cosmos. Geometric shapes and lines surround the skull, creating a mystical and otherworldly feel. Planets and celestial bodies drift nearby, further enhancing the sense that this skull exists in a universe far from our own. It’s an image that is both mesmerizing and unsettling, inviting contemplation of the vastness of space and the mysteries it holds.

    A skull with prominent horns set against a backdrop of a cosmic nebula. The skull is centrally positioned and adorned with geometric shapes and lines that create a sense of mystical symmetry. The horns curve outward with a smooth, polished look, adding a formidable aspect to the skull. The nebula behind is a swirl of pink, blue, and purple hues, dotted with stars, resembling the deep, mysterious expanse of space. This interstellar setting is both beautiful and eerie, giving the skull a celestial significance, as if it's a timeless relic floating through the cosmos. The colors are rich and deep, suggesting the unknown wonders and the vastness of the universe. It's a powerful image that blends the macabre with the infinite, evoking a sense of awe and otherworldly presence.

    A majestic waterfall in the heart of a lush forest. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting a radiant glow that dances on the mist and the vibrant green leaves. The waterfall itself is a white cascade, a stunning contrast against the rich tapestry of the forest. Below, the pool is serene, dotted with lily pads, reflecting the light of the sky above. Birds glide gracefully through the air, adding a sense of freedom and movement to the stillness of the scene. The play of light on the water’s surface creates a sparkling effect, making the scene seem almost otherworldly. This is a tranquil paradise, seemingly untouched and perfectly preserved in its natural splendor. It's an image that suggests the tranquility and restorative power of nature, offering a moment of peace to all who gaze upon it.

    A serene and majestic natural landscape. In the heart of a lush forest, a waterfall cascades gracefully down a rocky cliff into a tranquil lake. The sunlight filters through the verdant canopy of trees, creating a soft, ethereal glow that illuminates the mist arising from the waterfall's base. Gentle ripples on the water surface reflect the light, adding a sense of peaceful motion. Water lilies adorn the lake's surface, punctuating the blue with spots of green. A flock of birds takes flight from the treetops, their white forms contrasting with the greenery and adding a dynamic element to the scene. The atmosphere is one of untouched beauty and tranquility, inviting viewers to appreciate the quiet power and harmony of the natural world. It's a snapshot of a perfect moment in nature, where every element coexists in a delicate balance.

    🎶Generals gathered in their masses
    Just like witches at black masses
    Evil minds that plot destruction
    Sorcerer of death's construction
    In the fields, the bodies burning
    As the war machine keeps turning
    Death and hatred to mankind
    Poisoning their brainwashed minds
    Oh lord, yeah!🎶
