Former OpenAI researcher Todor Markov, now at Anthropic, accuses CEO Sam Altman of misleading staff about non-disparagement agreements and betraying OpenAI’s AGI-safety mission. In a legal filing, Markov claims the AGI Charter was a “smokescreen” to attract talent while pursuing profit. #AGI #AI

Zaten mevcut zihinsel kapasitemizle, bizden tamamen farklı bir varlığın bilincinin olup olmadığını, bir şeyleri taklit edip etmediğini ayırt edecek kapasitede değiliz henüz. Bu konuda Thomas Nagel'ın bilinç kuramıyla ilgili makâle incelenebilir.

Yani bilinci ve duyguları olan bir yapay bir varlık oluşturma çabası bugünün konusu değil. Yapay Genel Zekâ'ya ulaştıktan sonra Yapay Süper Zekâ, Tekillik gibi tartışılmaya ve üzerinde çalışılmaya başlanacak bir konu.

Büyük yapay zekâ şirketlerinin Yapay Genel Zekâ (AGI) hedefi, bilinci ve duyguları olan yapay bir insan yaratmak değil; insan zekâsını taklit eden bir sistem geliştirmek. Böylece insanın yapabildiği her işi daha etkin ve hızlı şekilde yapabilmek mümkün olacak.

“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands.”

I started a new starter pack for the most interesting science popularizers on Bluesky.

This starter pack won't be about those who STUDY science communication, but instead, share interesting science stuff.

I just initiated it, feel free to recommend accounts.

"Reason" TV lol...

I don't know if this has a name already, but I have a theory that whatever a brand calls itself (or makes its motto), we can be 80% sure that they will act in complete opposition to that name and/or motto.

Even if you've earned $591.000 PER DAY (yes, per DAY), since the year 0 (yes, for the past 2024 years), Elon Musk would still have more wealth than you do.*

Yeah... Let that sink in.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Boykot ve toplumun boykotun etrafında konsolide olması bize alternatif örgütlenmeler için muazzam bir fırsat sunuyor. Bu anı kaçırmamalı ve kolektif adımlar atmalıyız. Böylece boykotu kalıcı hale getirebilir ve hem politik hem de ekonomik bir güç yaratabiliriz.

The air that fills your lungs right now was once part of the last sigh of a loved one, the roar of a lion, or the whisper of a child centuries ago.

You are, in this very moment, sharing an intimate, physical connection with all life that has ever walked the Earth.

I think what triggers people when people say "Science is political." is that they think it opens the doors for political interference in science. And that bothers them.

Now the worry is legit, but pointing out the fact that science is political won't change whether it can be influenced by politics.
Since some seem determined not to get it:

Arguing science shouldn’t be political is like arguing that ducks shouldn’t be waterfowl.

Sure, whatever floats your boat, but they wouldn’t be ducks then would they?

Science is a collective human effort at sensemaking—the very definition of political.
When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.

Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.

Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

First up-close picture taken of star outside Milky WayThe red supergiant star is about 2,000 times larger than the sun.

The star is puffing out gas and dust, in the last stages before it becomes a supernova.
