Nuclear power plans are using Generative AI to generate faulty safety documents, to speed up the process of getting safety approval for new nuclear power plants to fuel more Generative AI. https://www.404media.co/power-companies-are-using-ai-to-build-nuclear-power-plants/
Power Companies Are Using AI To Build Nuclear Power Plants

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.

King of UK, to his own brother: "That does it, you're not a prince any more. Out you go."

US, now that Trump is clearly implicated: "Technically it's not really pedophilia if the girl is 14."

The freaking *British royal family* is doing a better job cleaning house than we are.

Where are the House Republicans? NOT in D.C., that’s for sure. Speaker Johnson won’t even seat Rep. Grijalva because of the Epstein files.

Out today: “They’re essentially trying to revoke his bond for thought crimes. I think it’s very important for people to understand: Fascism is here.” https://www.texasobserver.org/tarrant-county-prosecution-palestine-israel-activist-graffiti/

Inside Tarrant County's Dogged Prosecution of a Pro-Palestine Activist

Raunaq Alam has been in and out of jail five times in relation to anti-Israel graffiti on a Christian church. His lawyer says the case shows "how easily the government can roll back all of our civil rights."

When considering whether an automation is fit for a task, it’s worth thinking about it this way:

How often does it successfully do what it’s supposed to do, and how much convenience does it bring when it succeeds?

How often does it fail to do what it’s supposed to do, and how bad is the consequence of its failure?

The worse the consequence of failure, the lower the probability of failure has to be. When failures cost lives, a one-in-a-billion failure rate means 8 people will die if you run the automation once for every living person in the world.

#AI fails to do its job at a remarkably high rate, so it should only be used in cases where its failures are merely disappointing but otherwise inconsequential.

Putting AI into systems where their failures have catastrophic consequences—like using it to target people for pre-crime surveillance, or deny people financial or civil benefits—is a gross misapplication of the technology.

History has many painful lessons.
