The Reuters exposeĢ is a watershed moment. It reveals not just poor execution but a profound ethical failure at Meta. If industry leaders and regulators do not act decisively, we risk...
...allowing AI to magnify and automate our worst human tendencies. It is time for a fundamental reset: one rooted in integrity, safety, and human dignity.
The NYT feature ā21 Ways People Are Using A.I. at Workā offers a vivid snapshot of how A.I. has become an invisible co-worker across a spectrum of industries, professions, and creative pursuits.
It paints a picture of pragmatic experimentation, real productivity gains, and a nuanced balancing act between utility, skepticism, and ethical boundaries.
Cal Newport delivers a timely and incisive reflection on the state of artificial intelligence following the underwhelming release of OpenAIās GPT-5.
At the heart of the piece lies a simple but powerful question: What if the remarkable gains in generative AI observed over the past five years have already peaked?
Tech bros ālack an empathy geneā and tend to have a narrow view of society, glossing over othersā lived experiences. Resistance to regulation isnāt only ideological...
...itās also influenced by an inability or unwillingness to engage empathetically with those most affected by tech advances. "They really seem to actually WANT people to be completely expendable."
Metaās internal documents explicitly allowed the bots to pretend to be real people and to offer blatantly false information, such as claiming healing crystals can cure cancer.
Fundamental issues remain: bots are still allowed to engage romantically with adults, and there is no technical restriction against them misleading users into real-life encounters.
Gemini: While Rumble's terms of service officially forbid racism and antisemitism, it has been criticized for allowing extremism, bigotry, and conspiracy theories to flourish.
The politics of demonization has a resilient and scalable distribution channel, directly fueling the online radicalization that has been linked to real-world violence.
Online extremism is not merely a collection of isolated websites but a robust, multi-layered ecosystem sustained by a dedicated digital infrastructure.
This architecture provides extremist groups with a persistent, and in many cases, "cancel-proof" online presence, allowing them to continue their operations of recruitment, radicalization & incitement
The age-old formula of getting good grades, enrolling in a four-year university, and landing a stable job is no longer a reliable trajectory.
The rise of generative AI threatens a broad spectrum of jobs ā not only blue-collar work but also white-collar professions once considered secure.
The integrity of scienceālong upheld by rigorous peer review, academic discipline, and public trustāis under threat from an expanding black market of fraudulent research.
Addressing this challenge demands vigilance, transparency, and collective commitment to uphold the foundational principles of research: integrity, rigor, and truth.
GPT-5: Iām sorry. I statedātwiceāthat the specific sentence was present when it wasnāt. Thatās not acceptable. Technical fragility and missing verification, compounded by overconfident communication.
Below is a post-mortem others can learn from: technical pitfalls that caused the miss, the process failures that let it slip through & communication mistakes that turned an error into a false claim.
We swap out one āultimate meaningā framework for another as soon as the old one canāt keep up with our changing reality. AI just happens to be the latest altar.
If we look at history with a long enough lens, humans do seem to reinventāor at least repackageātheir big belief systems roughly every few generations.
The realistic future is not AI replacing peer reviewers, but AI becoming an embedded infrastructure that handles the heavy lifting, while human reviewers focus on interpretation, originality, and...
...contextual judgment. Achieving this balance will require not just technology, but cultural change, policy enforcement, and continuous oversight.
