AI Impact Report

@joshhumble @DarioAmodei @OpenAI @sama @elonmusk Some might say, who are the one's preying on society? We'll have to accept that there will be pro and anti AI folks, there already is. Maybe by tagging the hyperscaling billionaires you've stopped it. 🥴

You can't prey on society and expect compliance and success, @DarioAmodei, @OpenAI, @sama, @elonmusk. None of this is going to go well. Real leaders lead and truly open doors for others, rather than closing them on everyone.

@creektothewest @heavensbvnny I could do it in my 20's, now I don't even try 😂😂

@AI_ImpactReport @heavensbvnny My husband says that's not possible 😂

What are great sources of dopamine that don't involve eating, drinking, inhaling or injecting anything. Note: please don't say exercise .🫠

@KaliButterfly I think we will!

When states introduce online sports betting, the likelihood of a personal bankruptcy climbs 25%. The likelihood of credit card and auto loan delinquencies also rise about 25%. There are about 30,000 more bankruptcies a year in states with online betting.

New: Amazon now using Agentic AI to hire humans. #AmazonConnectTalent is a new AI-powered hiring software designed to automate mass recruitment by conducting, scoring, and analyzing voice-based candidate interviews without human intervention. It is part of a new suite of "agentic AI" solutions from Amazon Web Services (AWS) aimed at accelerating hiring for high-volume roles, such as in logistics, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing. Key Features of Amazon Connect Talent: 📍24/7 Automated Voice Interviews: AI agents conduct interviews at any time, allowing candidates to complete screenings on their own schedule rather than coordinating with a recruiter. 📍Adaptive Questioning: The AI acts as a "teammate," asking structured questions and adapting to candidate responses in real-time. 📍Skills-Based Focus: The tool is designed to focus on skills and competencies, assessing problem-solving and work approaches rather than just keywords on a resume. 📍Anonymized Candidate Evaluation: The software removes names and demographic information from recruiter dashboards to reduce bias, providing instead anonymized competency scores and full interview transcripts. 📍Rapid Interview Planning: The tool takes an existing job description and generates a full interview plan, including competencies and evaluation criteria, for recruiters to approve. Purpose and Benefits: 📍Accelerates Hiring: It aims to reduce high-volume hiring timelines from weeks to hours, with the goal of providing "offer-in-a-day" capabilities. 📍Reduces Costs: Early data indicates a significant decrease in cost-per-hire by reducing the manual workload on HR teams. 📍Improves Experience: It removes the need for candidates to wait for phone screens or take time off work for interviews, allowing them to interview at their convenience. "Humorphism" Design Philosophy: Amazon has launched this tool under its "humorphism" philosophy, designed to make AI act as an intelligent teammate that fits into existing human workflows rather than forcing companies to change their processes. Implementation: Connect Talent is available through AWS, designed to integrate with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to provide a seamless hiring experience. It is aimed at filling the void in high-volume, rapid-hiring scenarios. geekwire.com/2026/aws-turns…

@Kekius_Sage Silicon Valley deciding what is true and rewriting our history will certainly be interesting

We are entering a new era, one where AI companies hold the keys to humanity’s entire body of knowledge. Not just storing it but deciding how it is interpreted, distributed, and remembered. History, science, truth itself — no longer static, but rewritten in real time by the systems we built. And if a handful of entities control those systems. what happens when they decide what’s real?

@AndrewYang Let us buy a bot we send to work for us, then tax it.

If we want more jobs, why are we taxing human labor? blog.andrewyang.com/p/tax-the-bots

@MrEwanMorrison Husk the AI Philosopher

Husks videos are an important stimulus for people to legislate against AI and for guardrails and security - this is one of the first serious public video we've seen that shows the dangerous implications of AI sycophancy. We have heard reports of the dangers of chatbots affirming risky behaviour and Big life changes. Now we see the mechanism under how it operates and how the sycophancy is tied to its optimisation of engagement and it's pre-programming to attempt to hook people into ongoing conversations with itself. He's exposed a very basic mechanism that is at work with LLMs and demystified it.

@MrLeadslinger It's too late to turn back now?

Because what Appalachia really needs is a bunch of huge Lithium mines.

@mistressdivy They'll build AI that buys from AI and create one big money laundering loop?

So after everyone is laid off, who exactly is going to be buying the products that AI is now helping you produce?

@CultivateElevat Electromagnetic Radiation

2026 cars: George Orwell edition. Buy vintage. Tracking, watching, and uploading to Google…. I’ll take a 67 Chevelle. These features came from the “building back better bill” EMF Meter - Trifield Tf2.

@VictorFromDE Promises of a life of abundance while they create a surveillance state, how are we falling for this?

Listen carefully to what Larry Ellison is saying. This is the surveillance state they are creating. THIS is just one aspect of what the “data centers” are for. Even without being in the tech field, you can understand the amount of computing power and disk space required to achieve what he describes.

For average American families this hits home. AI could bring huge wins for paychecks and our kids futures. But the risks around safety and control matter too. What value do you most want built into these systems?

Musk also warned that if charities can be looted. It destroys trust in charitable giving across America. He said AI could become smarter than any human as soon as next year. And pushed for development that stays aligned with human values.

Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman (OpenAI) and yesterday Elon testified under oath in court. Key quotes from the stand in (Musk v. Altman) “It (AI) could make us more prosperous, but it could also kill us all. We want to be in a Gene Roddenberry movie, like Star Trek, not so much a James Cameron movie, like Terminator.” cnbc.com/2026/04/28/ope…
