“AI webpage #crawlers are now being served their very own #ads that ordinary visitors never see, with one firm's boss openly describing a strategy to influence what #chatbots say about #brands. The next time you ask Claude about where to bank, its answer may have been influenced by this #BotTargeted content. We only have one documented example so far, and that's Time serving #AIOnly ads to selected AI crawlers, as spotted by Germany based freelance software developer #VincentSchmalbach. In a Wednesday blog post, Schmalbach detailed how he found #sponsored content embedded in #markdown versions of some Time pages that are served to AI crawlers but not ordinary browsers. Those pages also contained #advertisings tags from #AdTech vendor Mobian ahead of extensive #FAQs for online-only bank Ally. The FAQs include brand "facts," such as the number of fee-free ATMs associated with the branchless bank, alongside claims that Ally is "the only bank built for life today," putting it in "a category of one." AI poisoning with advertising. #AI / #advert

«Some people's chats with Claude AI found publicly available online: Hundreds of user conversations with Anthropic's popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Claude were found to have been available to essentially anyone online.» Surprise, surprise who is now intelligent as smart? the user, the computer or its data-hungry and thus money-greedy operators? 🙄 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly5qgjk5ywo #ai #claudeai #anthropic #chatbots #aislop #privacy #datahungrybots #data #public #privacy

“Deepfakes and other AI content must be labeled from Sunday, Aug 2, as the EU’s sweeping artificial intelligence transparency rules kick in to make sure Europeans immediately know whether the online content they see is real or fake. The #EU's #AI law enters into force in stages. From Sunday, companies must ensure their AI systems like #chatbots make it clear to users they are AI, or when an image or text has been created using AI, there must be a label saying so.” https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/07/28/eu-tells-firms-to-label-ai-generated-content-from-sunday_6755910_4.html

Cada vez más usuarios quieren aprender a desactivar funciones de #IA incorporadas en dispositivos y plataformas digitales, una demanda que ha comenzado a reflejarse en bibliotecas públicas de EE. UU. «Los asistentes reciben una explicación sobre el funcionamiento de los #chatbots y otras aplicaciones de IA para consumidores, además de instrucciones para desactivar funciones como Apple Intelligence y Gemini» 👏 Miren qué fácil es dar un taller sobre #IAgenerativa sin usarla ni promoverla ;)

Yes, there have been significant challenges... blah, blah, blah... I doubt the AI and automation projects stop here. After the Québec election, there will be another push for the garbage AI and automation in the public sector. MARK MY WORDS. Québec scraps #AI and automation projects in the public sector: https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/quebec-scraps-ai-and-automation-projects-in-the-public-sector/ #chatbots #quebecvotes #polQC #QCpoli #assnat #electionimminent

Beijing regulates everything, from population growth to gaming addiction. The general interpretation here is that China wants more babies, and digital boyfriends can't provide that. The new rules were implemented earlier this month. Here's more about that: China's regulation on AI companions takes force https://iapp.org/news/a/chinas-regulation-on-ai-companions-takes-force Yesterday: TechRadar: China just banned AI girlfriends and boyfriends — and millions of users were forced into sudden breakups https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/china-is-banning-ai-generated-companions-to-encourage-users-to-form-real-life-relationships-sparking-nationwide-virtual-breakups-and-therapists-think-its-for-the-best @TechRadar@flipboard.com #chatbots

Should be widely read! I heard it on Cory Doctorow's podcast. "Hell Is Other People" "Not everyone feels this way. A subset of humanity is committed to a world where everyone else takes orders from them. We have different names for these people. We call the majority of them “toddlers,” but we call the others “bosses” or “tyrants.” " "These latter two groups ... are also among the people most excited about #AI. What’s more, the more powerful these people are, the more credulous and enthusiastic they are about AI." "Among #bosses, the most enthusiastic boosters are #tech #overlords. These #billionaires will not shut up about AI, and, tellingly, the thing they’re most excited about is the fact that AI might let them fire #programmers and replace them with #chatbots." https://locusmag.com/feature/commentary-cory-doctorow-hell-is-other-people/

#Scientists Asked #AI to Impersonate 112 Public Figures. What Happened Next Is a ‘Dire’ Warning AI #chatbots that were prompted to #impersonate public figures produced responses that people perceived to be more authentic, coherent, and relevant than the real thing, a finding that underscores “a dire need to inform the general public of the potential harm this can have on society,” according to a study published on Wednesday in PLOS One. #security #plosone #artificialintelligence #deepfake https://www.404media.co/untitled-28/

"In a detailed report released last week, titled The Urgent Case Against Data Centers, #FWW pointed to some of the 'documented harms caused by AI and data centers,' including: - Enormous #energy footprints: A single hyperscale data center can consume as much energy as 2 million US households. - A lifeline for #FossilFuels: The thirst for fuel is being met by keeping old #coal-fired power plants running and by building new natural gas ones. [And restarting old #NuclearPlants] - Skyrocketing electricity costs: Increased #EnergyDemand can raise residential rates, which soared 31% from 2020 to 2025 (compared to 4% from 2015 to 2020). - Drained water resources: By 2028, AI data centers could use as much water as 18.5 million households, just for cooling their servers. - An investment bubble: A handful of companies are investing in one another and increasingly turning to risky debt structures to hide the threat of the bubble. - A litany of other harms: This includes massive amounts of electronic waste (#EWaste), unrelenting noise pollution, loss of #farmland, political instability from deepfake videos, lost revenue from data center tax incentives, and child endangerment from #AI #chatbots." #NoDatacenters #NoAI #NoNukesForAI #UnrestrictedGrowth #WaterIsLife #NoisePollution #AISucks #USPol

In 2023, Danish psychiatrist Dr. Søren Dinesen Østergaard predicted that human-like chatbots like ChatGPT could stand to reinforce delusions and hallucinations in people “prone to psychosis.” Recently, Østergaard led a study that found chatbot use indeed appeared to deepen symptoms of mental illness and was especially true for patients prone to delusions or mania. @Futurism@flipboard.com has more: https://flip.it/UARJYt #Tech #AI #Chatbots #Health #MentalHealth #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence
