This article has a lot of cud to chew on.

“[We should all hope]that AI won’t be that useful. If it were the case that 30%, 40% of new university graduates can’t find […] what would that do to democracy and social peace? Wherever that has happened in the past, you’ve had revolutions.”

“Revolutions […] are inherently unpredictable, shaped by the interplay of repression, redistribution, and the ambient attitudes of a generation. Social media adds a new variable that history offers no reliable guide to. “In the past, youth did not have Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter,” he said. “Perhaps that changes things. I have no idea.”

“But the direction of concern is clear. A generation of workers who trained and credentialed for an economy that AI has since restructured — and who feel economically stranded — is a constituency that has historically not stayed quiet. The grumbling at this spring’s commencement ceremonies, he suggested, may be an early signal.”

Nobel Laureate Daron Acemoglu on the ‘brainless’ AI discourse, the myth of capitalism and the Gen Z revolution risk

The MIT economist and Nobel Prize winner doesn't mince words: most of what you're reading about AI is wrong, and the stakes for getting it right are existential.

The original #Tron movie touched a bunch of real issues alongside its fictional themes. IPR theft from inadequately protected workstations, loss of control over AI, and its plans for world domination.

Tron: Legacy completely ignored all realistic issues. Portraying free software as a teenage prank is just facepalm-worthy at best.

Right now, the genAI bubble is inflating, while tech bros are doing their best to overthrow democracy worldwide. Dedicated developers and FOSS might fight an epic battle to secure our future. And what is Tron: Ares about? Good and evil megacorps are fighting to acquire an algorithm. 🤦‍♂️ Ignorance, fear of the subject, or deliberate distraction?

It is shocking that even a 2004 film, I, Robot, raises more relevant questions about how AI and closed-source always-connected software controlled by a mega-corporation can take away people's freedom.

Super worried about @robert-habeck.de a) leaving the fray of German Parliament (but hey, we all need sabbaticals) b) going to Denmark DK who are way too connected to Silicon valley, then c) going to Berkeley, who are very in debt & insanely bought in to genAI as magic messiah saviour. #genAIBubble

Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to have IRL workers to fix the technology's screwups.
