In order to shift the incentives of #AI it’s not enough to simply understand the problem, we need real action.
That’s why CHT is proud to release "The AI Roadmap," a report outlining seven core principles for how AI should be built, deployed, and governed.
In this episode, Camille Carlton and Pete Furlong from CHT’s policy team explore the concrete steps we can take today to get off the default path and forge a better AI #future

#TristanHarris featured in a new film, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist.
In this conversation, Tristan breaks down why the current AI arms race is being fueled by misaligned incentives, and how that trajectory could lead to an “anti-human” #future . He argues that the extraordinary promises of AI cannot be separated from its profound dangers and emphasizes the urgent need for public pressure, thoughtful regulation, and global coordination.

The AI Doc just premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival — and it’s hard to overstate what a moment this is. At a time when AI is reshaping our lives faster than most of us can process, this #film brings the conversation into the open, onto the big screen, and into the cultural mainstream.
The #documentary explores both the promise and the peril of the most powerful #technology #humanity has ever created — with clarity, urgency, and real care.

“What’s dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone’s carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own. This isn’t a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It’s the opposite of that. It’s taking something that worked and making it worse.” (Vincent Driessen)
#AI hashes and rehashes human work and vomits it out again as something that looks valid and finished.

#GertScobel und #ThomasMetzinger diskutieren über die Grenzen der westlichen #Aufklärung den Zustand unserer #Demokratien und die Frage, ob non-duales #Bewusstsein eine reale transformative Kraft besitzt.
Kann #Meditation wirklich gesellschaftliche Krisen beeinflussen?
Ist #Rationalität ausreichend oder brauchen wir eine neue #Bewusstseinskultur
Und was bedeutet es, „in Würde zu scheitern“, wenn die #Klimakatastrophe womöglich nicht mehr aufzuhalten ist?

So sad, another case of #AIhype crossing the blood-brain barrier, skipping the part of your brain that always asks „but why?”.

Yes, #LLM #chatbots have a inherent econonic #privacy problem, but … that's not our biggest problem with them.
Yes, Trump reeks of old man stench, but that really is not our biggest problem with him.

What a waste of time and talent.

"When you use an #AI service, you’re handing over your thoughts in plaintext. The operator stores them, trains on them, and–inevitably–will monetize them. You get a response; they get everything.
#Confer works differently. In the previous post, we described how Confer encrypts your chat history with keys that never leave your devices."
I think Confer is how AI services should work.
