“AI is evil. It’s a bunch of crappy products engineered to wage war on mankind itself, and not in cool sci-fi ways. It’s a banal evil…All reasonable [people] should want it banned, and they should want the likes of Sam Altman dropped into a Supermax.”
Some people (not me) use Sunday morning to catch up on their politics, so here was my Say No to AI piece from this week for that. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...
The time has come to declare war on AI

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

RFK Jr & his HHS has declared thimerosal dangerous. It’s not.
The result? US will no longer recommend vaccines with thimerosal (a safe preservative).
This lie, now policy, will ripple around the world, destroying vaccine trust, access, & uptake.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
