A PR company working for Colossal Biosciences is sending AI generated pieces to respected science journalists & asking them to publish the articles under their own names. This is so dodgy & just goes to show our critical expert scientific commentary is working. Sci comm failure 101 for Colossal.
Just got a 🧪pitch from a PR claiming to work with Colossal (de-extinction chancers). It was a pre-written article claiming the science sector is carrying out "coordinated attacks" on the co. Spy the headline. They asked if I'd publish it on my Forbes column.
Not enough eye rolls on Earth for this 🙄

The comments sections are among the reasons I'm increasingly persuaded that the Infinity Gauntlet is a very good idea actually.

OpenAI doesn't realise that PhD-level expertise has very little to do with the stuff you know and more to do with how you can think. I forget facts from mine all the time!
The value in my PhD is knowing how to reliably generate, evaluate, and defend or dismiss information that's new to the world.

OpenAI: we’re giving you PhD-level expertise in your pocket!
Everyone with PhDs: I know exactly who you’re automating and I hate him

AI is designed, by principle, to nullify the need for additional collaboration and self-aggrandize.
Or, in the words that made my former boss panic: it's a silo. For thought and cost.
Which is the antithesis of creating good art. Good art doesn't happen in a vacuum, it happens with COMMUNITY

In the rush to have a worthwhile discussion if Gen AI is reclaimable for leftists, people miss one of its biggest dangers to art—homogenization. It cranks out status quo narratives, reinforcing hegemonic ideals as it flattens expression. The danger isn’t JUST workforce automation—it’s normalization.

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

Incredibly important report on AI training & copyright released today by the European Commission. It gets lots right, slamming the idea that creators should be required to opt-out of having their works used for free by AI companies.
It says:
- Generative AI must be based on opt-in consent
