The real risk with AI isn’t losing jobs. It’s slowly forgetting how to think for yourself.

@Artemisfornow For those that still want it, there are other options, e.g. PGP encryption tools.

🚨 From May 8, 2026, Instagram will remove end-to-end encryption from private messages. That means your DMs are no longer completely private. the platform can access and analyse message content using AI systems. This is following pressure from governments and regulators demanding visibility over what people say online. Who will fall next? 🚨

@Suffragent_ Great guy, initially. He's said a few disappointing things since campaigning in the local election. I guess he has to follow the party line now. He must follow orders, orders must be obeyed at all times. 😉

72% of Somalian migrants in the UK live off benefits in social housing. 52% of Bangladeshi migrants live off benefits in social housing. 48% of Pakistani migrants live off benefits in social housing. Why do all these doctors, engineers, and nurses need benefits??? Oh, wait…

An increasing number of young Muslims are threatening to leave the UK due to rising Islamophobia. They claim the UK will regret being so Islamophobic and will suffer a ‘brain drain.’

@QuanticASI There's only 8 billion observers. Perhaps less (are they all "real"?).

if our universe is a simulation, what computational resources would be required to render it at the level of quantum detail we observe? is that even possible without infinite energy?

@0x45o Good question. All the complex formulas come down to one operator: addition (and subtraction). Surely, there must be a simpler notation. [?]

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 TREACHEROUS BETRAYAL: Labour's manifesto promised not to rejoin EU! This plan is even worse as it hands UK law-making to the EU with no seat at the table! How many betrayal's can this government attempt before it inevitably falls?

AI will help discover new science, such as cures for diseases, which is perhaps the most important way to increase quality of life long-term. AI will also present new threats to society that we have to address. No company can sufficiently mitigate these on their own; we will need a society-wide response to things like novel bio threats, a massive and fast change to the economy, extremely capable models causing complex emergent effects across society, and more. These are the areas the OpenAI Foundation will initially focus on, and in my opinion are some of the most important ones for us to get right. The Foundation will spend at least $1 billion over the next year. @woj_zaremba, co-founder of OpenAI, will transition to Head of AI Resilience. I believe that shifting how the world thinks about safety to include a Resilience-style approach is critical, and I am extremely grateful to Wojciech for taking on this role. Wojciech has been my cofounder for the last decade; anyone who knows him will understand what I mean when I say he is one of a kind. He has a lot of ideas about how we build a new kind of AI safety. @JacobTref is joining as Head of Life Sciences and Curing Diseases. @annaadeola, our VP of Global Impact, will transition to Head of AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy. @robert_kaiden is joining as Chief Financial Officer. @jeffarnold is joining as Director of Operations.
