I’m a physicist. Last week’s gravitational waves announcement sent me reeling.

Hum from gravitational waves gives a completely new and audacious view of the universe.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

As exciting & fascinating as all this new AI Technology is, I fear that a monster is being created, in many different parts, by people oblivious to the greater picture of what this means for society, truth, and even democracy.

AI's Jurassic Park Moment

New systems like chatGPT are enormously entertaining, and even mind-boggling, but also unreliable, and potentially dangerous.

Albeit, an interesting technical achievement, what moral or ethical use is there for this tech? Call me a doomsayer but I can’t think of one. In this era of increased fake news, spoofing, fake everything, what media can be trusted soon?

Why…?

Microsoft’s new AI can simulate anyone’s voice with 3 seconds of audio

Call me an idealistic dreamer but I really didn’t think the bird site would turn into a complete cesspool of hate, especially so quickly. I was wrong, so very wrong.

I kind of feel dirty even looking at it these days. The site always kinda annoyed me but it’s kind of sad how bad it’s gotten & so quickly too. It makes me worry about the future for progressive ideas & action in the face of fascism.

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.

This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.

Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.

However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Be a hero! Donate now! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon
