God lørdag folkens, ettersom nazistene nå er på Enderudhytta i Eidskog Kommune er det viktig å aktivisere lokalmiljøet der oppe. Alle på vennelista mi som er derfra, eller kjenner noe der må legge press lokalt for å få dem fjerna fra den hytta.

KI har tatt jobbene fra arbeiderne.

Men mange sjefer angrer, og nå kan vi få en bølge av at _lavlønte_ arbeidere "tar jobben" fra KI. 🙃
Halvparten angrer på KI-oppsigelser
Mange arbeidsplasser, som Klarna og Duolingo, angrer på at de har sagt opp ansatte og erstattet dem med KI. Det er de ikke alene om, viser fersk rapport.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.

With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

Do not build the Torment Nexus and so on.
The war in Ukraine has demonstrated how autonomy is reshaping combat. Now, startup company Anduril is developing a larger autonomous fighter for the US Air Force, designed to fly alongside crewed jets—controlled by, of all things, AI.

On an airstrip somewhere in Texas, a swarm of killer jets approaches—controlled by, of all things, a large language model.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.

The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

I want you to imagine what you would have said in 2005 if someone told you a company would do this and not only get away with it, but evade wide public outrage

I feel like whenever someone suggests using AI to deliver documents in less time, there is an implicit "don't worry, nobody is actually going to read these" attached to it.
