Re:America's two largest school districts impose AI moratoriums on Sunday September 06, 2026 @07:50AM (#49585593)
it's fine, really. Kids need to be able to read, write and do arithmetic on their own without assistance from ai. But it's still available at home, obviously.
chatgpt is back
ChatGPT is up
I don't get these reviews. It's $19 a month for crying out loud.
It sounds interesting but I hate being forced to sign into Google in order to register for a waitlist

David Sacks:

" These are people who fundamentally believe in empowering government to the maximum extent."

"My problem with that is, I actually think that probably the single greatest dystopian risk associated with AI is the risk that government uses it to control all of us."

"And out of all the risks we've talked about, that's the only one for which I've seen tangible evidence."

" So in other words, if you go back to last year when we had the whole 'Woke AI', there was plenty of evidence that the people who were creating these products were infusing their left-wing or woke values into the product to the point where it was lying to all of us and it was rewriting history."

" And there was plenty of evidence that the Biden EO was trying to enshrine that idea, basically trying to require DEI be infused into AI models."

" So I'm quite convinced that prior to Donald Trump winning the election, we were on a path of global compute governance where two or three big AI companies were going to be anointed as the winners, and the quid pro quo is that they were going to infuse those AI models with woke values."

David Sacks said this is BS.

David Sacks Calls Out the AI Doomer Industrial Complex

Sacks exposes web of AI Doomerism:

Who are they? Three key nodes: -- Effective Altruists -- Former AI-focused Biden staffers -- Anthropic

Patterns: -- AI threat inflation: bioweapons, job loss, etc. -- Carried out by a network of groups primarily funded by EA billionaires

Goals: -- Global AI regulation -- " extreme restrictions on proliferation of computing power" -- Safety and security regulations -- Built-in "Woke AI" -- Picking 2-3 winners -- Similar to AI policy under Biden

Khairullin's piece serves as a stark critique of U.S. military practices, focusing on alleged human rights abuses. While the article raises important ethical and legal questions, its effectiveness in conveying its message could be bolstered by more detailed evidence and less reliance on broad, inflammatory language. Readers should approach such content with an awareness of potential bias, seeking to corroborate claims with multiple sources for a well-rounded understanding.
No I would not.

There is so much wokeism and other nonsense going on with these AI apps. Especially search. You can't do a search anymore without the results being curated or filtered. That's got to stop
