MIT Technology Review has confirmed that posts on Moltbook were fake. Just a few days ago many AI influencers (including Andrej Karpathy) had said that the website was "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff". It wasn't. The "taking over humanity" posts were human-generated. The top downloads were mal-ware (human generated). It was a phishing website dressed up in AI hype. If you are worried about AI taking over the world in a few years, please don't. There is no research basis for that opinion. Antrophic and OpenAI want you to beleive that they are just months away from AGI. Because it results in free marketing, boosting their stock value. Stay skeptical, stay safe :)

@YukonRadioDave Important to note: This is why having a Canadian office for platforms serves a purpose. Relying on other countries for regulation and next steps can make it hard for our creators.

What does the sale of TikTok in America mean to Canadian users? @takarasmall and I try to figure it out. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Just found a phone at The Well @thewell_to and handed it into security like the responsible adult I pretend to be at all times. Hope you find your phone (and card hidden in the back pocket) pink phone owner.

Tonight on CBC’s ‘The National’ I’m talking tech, tech, tech

Canada is shutting down TikTok’s offices over security concerns. I talked to creators and business owners who worry about an outright ban and why this is yet another sign that the creator economy is becoming less lucrative. More @bbcworldservice. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…
