  This is an amazingly humoristic but also tragic criticism (because it nails it) of AI chatbots which so many companies and societies are adopting amd embracing PLEASE WATCH https://youtu.be/Ykvf3MunGf8?is=q4UJlnQTLqfLyrdF #ai #chatbots

  Patrick Galey, the head of investigations for the Global Witness climate campaign, said: “We have a handful of years until our carbon budget is exhausted. “To waste what little bandwidth we have left – when 750 million people worldwide lack access to electricity – assisting some of the richest men ever to hone their plagiarism bots would be a historic idiocy that future generations are unlikely to forgive today’s leaders for.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/24/officials-hugely...

  AI Big Tech argues the U.S. is in a race with China for technological supremacy, and thus the sprint has existential stakes. But what can unite Americans across any political opinion is too fast AI. Hear these 9 individuals leading the fight for humans over data centers, AI film slop, loss of human dignity, surveillance … Let’s hope these huge protest will not reach Europe as almost everything else fra America.

  No, Claude is not an ethical choice. Claude is part of the war machine; even with humans putatively in the loop, it may have been responsible for many deaths. Amodei pretty much follows Sam Altman’s playbook, of constant hype and overpromising (on AGI and fear if AI's capabilities), and the LLM is illegally trained on copyrighted content. https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/there-are-no-heroes-in-commercial?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=888615&post_id=190256...

  With the rise in AI slop, we tend to distrust more and more, even when it is true. And if you factcheck w generative AI you risk getting an authoritative answer from the machine.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/116259767350136507 We’ve seen it before w OpenAI. Be careful w companies claiming to be good…. Check their governance model, if they can take private money etc. I really hope Signal @Mer__edith will not follow suit???

  One guy is letting an AI agent talk w his parents in Australia. Another one let his agent buy an expensive sponsorship, he could not pay for, in Davos for a speaking slot. In these two free articles you can read about the race for AI agents build mainly by young males.

  Humans are losing the ability to think. It started w the smartphone in the 2010s and w generative AI we need to use it carefully and not let it take over our thinking. Just as we understans the importance of diet and exercise in the physical world, we need a digital nutrition plan. We need to train our brains. May be consuming a few dozen book pages a day should become the new 10,000 daily steps — to maintain cognitive fitness. Very good read. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/opinion/technolo...

  Infinite scroll, algorithmic recommendations and autoplay videos are designed to entice and hook young users to compulsively engage with the platforms....

  Google har lanceret en generativ AI app Lyria (https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/lyria-3/) så man kan skabe (uoriginalt) musik med. Googles kommunikationsmand i DK siger, at de har fået tilladelse til at træne på alle musikeres indhold på Youtube. Jeg har spurgt ham (på LinkedIn) om de specifikt har spurgt om tilladelse eller om det er en del om deres betingelser for at bruge YouTube. Ved I noget om det eller kan henvise til en som kan?

  The intimate, always-available #AI chatbots are today influencing peoples' health-care decision. We are normalising the transfer of trust from accountable regulated institutions to systems that explicitly refuse accountability. Remember: - they hallucinate - your health data is worth gold to the services like OpenAI - they have no formal responsibility like human doctors and they disclaim any responsibility in their terms of conditions https://staytuned.substack.com/cp/184600139

  Open Source-based chatbots are Europe's future. It is hard to say whether they are better than the most well-known proprietary bots but they are open and definitely better for democracy. Listen to our podcast about open source search and chatbots and read our blogpost about the 'chatbot rodeo'.

  Good read. Big AI tech is selling AI personalisation as something very useful and poweful, it might help you, it certainly helps the companies, as they suck up all your data and memory leaving you without any control or insight. Alternatives in Europe have not (yet) followed suit so they are more safe to use. https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/01/28/1131835/what-ai-remembers-about-you-is-privacys-next-frontier/

  AI overview is killing that part of media and others who believed in traffic from Google was a good idea in stead of building a direct relation to its audience. AI overview is killing 58% of traffic!

  The Spanish Prime Minister and his family has been harrassed for years on social media, so he is now a frontrunner in the fight against them. Yes, I doubt if the politicians are doing the right thing in banning access to them for kids. We all need to move away from these platforms in stead. To a platform like Mastodon…… I guess you agree but would love to hear what you think politicians should do? https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-sanchez-fight-against-tech-billionaires-musk-durov-personal/

  Interesting read on a couple who loves each other, but need constant translation btw Mandarin and English. ‘Automated translators should be used with caution in situations where every word matters,’ expert warns.

  All over again 😟 Companies are trying to influence what the chatbots say by providing specific information — lots of it — for the chatbots to soak up. But it is challenging; many serious media sites block for their factchecked content, the chatbots hallucinates-by-default, answers on the same question differs, and they also suck up old content that might be wrong. The new ugly term is GEO (generative engine optimization). https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/technology/chatbots-influencers-brand...
