I used to think LaChapelle's pictures of the Kardashians were an unbeatable portrait of ignorance. I was wrong. Hard to think of a more supreme display of lack of taste (of all kinds). Almost goes well with his preschool suggested reading list, though.

Generative AI is making incredible strides. But as technology moves on at the speed of light, I think it's crucial that we build a world where everybody can feel their work and intellectual property are safe and fully respected. glaze.cs.uchicago.edu

Something to think about: "In the UK in the 1980s, typical CEO pay was twenty times higher than that of the average worker. By 2016, the average FTSE 100 CEO’s pay was 129 times greater than that of the average employee." (from: Mission Economy, Mariana Mazzucato)

Had a chance to talk to Chloe Taylor from FORTUNE about biometric data collection and the future of privacy. TLDR: don't let yourself be fooled by the promises of a safer world. fortune.com/2023/08/31/elo…

Surreal seeing all this “extinction” talk. Imagine the tenets of Scientology steering multilateral orgs and governments. That’s what’s happening in AI.

Still extremely thrilled for the Bloomberg TV interview I had with Tom Mackenzie and Anna Edwards about #AI, #bigtech, concentration of power, and the need for #regulation. Full recording here (starting at 1h:18m): bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

Re: this "extinction risk" talk, I think Chomsky said it well: "The smart way to keep people passive [...] is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on"

AI is automation, and throughout history automation has often played in favor of the powerful, and against the interests of the weakest. But the weakest have an extremely powerful instrument by their side: Public pressure. wired.com/story/us-write… #ai #futureofwork #regulation
