qwant news | Even the people building AI don't know exactly where it's going

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Even after two years of bold predictions that AI would wipe out countless jobs, the industry's top figures are now back‑pedalling and admitting they may have over‑estimated the speed of disruption. CEOs like Dario Amodei, Bill Gates and Sam Altman—once warning of massive unemployment—are now cautioning that AI’s impact on entry‑level white‑collar work is slower and less certain than expected. While generative tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude have become commonplace for drafting emails, summarising meetings and brainstorming ideas, widespread adoption has not translated into wholesale automation; companies still wrestle with hallucinations, integration challenges and trust issues, and most people use AI only in limited, casual ways. This mismatch between hype‑driven investment and real‑world usage highlights a broader truth: the rapid evolution of AI far outpaces society’s ability to understand, regulate or adapt to it, making any definitive forecasts about its future impact highly unreliable.

This also reminds me of a "big event" in the late 1990s where Jeremy Paxman was to "grill" #BillGates on #Newsnight. I was naive enough to think then that it would be a reckoning and some truths would come out about MS and their dodgy dealings etc.

Of course, it was an advert for MS, a whitewashing of Gates' image and
#Paxman was just a fawning sycophant. Shortly afterwards we realised Blair was a war criminal and that nothing had changed since 1979 and the path to this fucked up timeline was cemented further.
A mother and daughter near Maysville turned down $26 million to sell farmland for a data center, and their blunt reason is that feeding the country matters more than a tech buyer paying roughly 10 times the land’s farm value

A Kentucky family rejected $26 million as a data center fight puts farmland, food, and tech growth at odds.

The Wealth Defense Industry and the Working-Class Republic: What Equity Means Here

Henry Demarest Lloyd's 1894 Wealth Against Commonwealth made the case that liberty produces wealth, and wealth destroys liberty. The question 132 years later is whether equity against the one percent can still be won inside a system they pay to keep tilted. Equity against the one percent describes parity of political voice, of legal protection, of access to courts and schools and air and water and a livable wage, with no implication that fortunes themselves must be equal. The republic was built on that equality of standing, however imperfectly executed and however brutally suspended along racial and gender lines. The wealth concentration of the past forty years has retired the idea entirely. […]

ABC News: Top Stories | Former Epstein assistant to appear before House committee

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Former personal assistant Sarah Kellen, who worked for convicted sex‑offender Jeffrey Epstein, is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee in a closed‑door interview as part of the panel’s broader investigation into the federal handling of the Epstein case. Court filings and Justice Department records show Kellen repeatedly alleges that Epstein psychologically dominated and sexually abused her for years, forcing her to schedule his daily massages and inadvertently facilitating the abuse of underage girls, though she claims she didn’t realize the victims were minors at the time. Federal prosecutors examined potential charges against her but ultimately decided not to pursue an indictment, citing her status as a victim coerced by Epstein. The committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, plans to hear additional witnesses—including other Epstein aides and high‑profile figures—before issuing a report later this year.

The Guardian | Billionaires are trying to lull us into AI complacency. Don’t let them | Steven Greenhouse by Steven Greenhouse

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tech billionaires such as Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Peter Thiel are urging the public not to fear artificial intelligence, touting its potential to boost productivity, spark scientific breakthroughs and generate universal “high‑income” checks, while downplaying the threat of massive job losses; however, CEOs of AI firms and other experts warn that AI could eliminate a large share of entry‑level white‑collar positions within years, create a new low‑wage underclass, and be used to surveil and pressure workers, prompting lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez to call for immediate safeguards—including stronger unemployment and health‑insurance systems, wage‑insurance, a reduced‑hour workweek, paid vacation, and even a moratorium on new data‑center construction—to counteract the potential economic inequality and social disruption that unchecked AI deployment could unleash.
