Joseph Gordon-Levitt says “almost all” AI systems are “built on mass theft,” arguing that companies using large language models “shouldn’t be forgiven for that past theft.”

@TheChiefNerd SamGPT confused on the difference between tone-deaf and wisdom- continues PR campaign to reduce negative public perception of coming economic collapse that is kinda his fault. Bc money

Sam Altman Says CEO’s Who Talk About AI Taking Everyone’s Jobs Are ‘Tone Deaf’ “Someone said to me just yesterday that … GPT 5.5 in Codex can accomplish in an hour what would have taken me weeks two years ago … and I have never been busier in my life.”

@russell_m @TheChiefNerd Oh shut up lol that was either satire or proof of idiot business decisions

@TheChiefNerd It does feel like the vibe is shifting away from Dario's doomsday predictions of taking everyone's jobs away. It helps when Claude decided to delete a company's entire database.

@iam_elias1 Microsoft just insulting people all the time calling it ~research~

A researcher spent two years documenting what AI is doing to the way humans think. His conclusion fits in one sentence. AI is standardizing human thought. Across societies. Across cultures. Across generations. Simultaneously. At a scale no technology in history has ever achieved. The paper is called "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Human Thought." Published July 2025 on arXiv. Written by independent researcher Rénald Gesnot, categorized under Computers & Society and Human-Computer Interaction. It is not a benchmark paper. It is not a capability paper. It is something rarer — a systematic analysis of what happens to human cognition, creativity, and intellectual diversity when billions of people outsource their thinking to the same machine. Here is the mechanism the researcher describes. When you ask an AI a question, you get an answer shaped by the model's training data, its fine-tuning, its alignment process, and the preferences of the company that built it. That answer is not neutral. It reflects a specific set of values, framings, and assumptions. Usually Western. Usually English-dominant. Usually optimized for engagement and approval. When 500 million people ask the same AI similar questions and receive similar answers, those answers become reference points. People quote them. Build on them. Argue from them. The diversity of starting points — different cultures, different intellectual traditions, different ways of framing problems — begins to compress. The researcher describes this as cognitive standardization. Not censorship. Not propaganda. Something subtler and harder to reverse. A gravitational pull toward the outputs of a small number of models, trained by a small number of companies, reflecting a small number of worldviews. The paper also documents algorithmic manipulation — AI systems that exploit cognitive biases to influence behavior. The way recommendation algorithms produce filter bubbles. The way AI-generated content exploits confirmation bias. The way personalization systems learn what you already believe and feed it back to you amplified. And then the creativity question — the one nobody wants to answer directly. When AI can produce a poem, an essay, a business plan, or a research summary in seconds — and when that output is often indistinguishable from or preferred over human-generated content — what happens to the human practice of creating those things? Not the output. The practice. The struggle. The failure. The slow development of a personal voice through years of imperfect attempts. The researcher argues that cognitive offloading — delegating thinking tasks to AI — does not merely save time. It atrophies the mental capacity that the offloaded task was building. Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon found this empirically in 2025: higher AI trust correlates directly with measurably lower critical thinking. The researcher provides the theoretical framework for why. The paper ends with a question the researcher admits he cannot answer. Once a generation grows up with AI as the default thinking partner — once the habit of outsourcing cognition is formed before the habit of independent thought is developed — what does intellectual autonomy even mean? And is it already too late to find out? Source: Gesnot, R. · "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Human Thought" · arXiv:2508.16628 · arxiv.org/abs/2508.16628 · July 2025

@BarryGo27280265 @dieworkwear @billybinion Terrible thing for writing and reading yikes

@dieworkwear @billybinion Read this and your posts will improve:

Why do people write tweets like this? Where every sentence gets a new line. Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one. But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads. Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again. The writing is often very bad.

@Libuse_Carodej @dieworkwear Hard Disagree. The trend comes from trying to hook ppl whose attention span is shot. If the writing is good it’s easy to read regular sentences. GPT generated text often speaks in short punchy.

@dieworkwear I sort of see your point, but much prefer broken up sentences to ACTUAL blocks of text. As a writer, journalist, & sometime page designer, I can tell you that space between text makes the text more likely to be read. Perhaps stick to your own expertise, which is considerable.

@fromdevoid @GaryMarcus literally the only person at least trying to be ethical in this huge mess

@GaryMarcus Strange that you didn't put Dario there. Looks dishonest and more intentional than an oversight. After all, you know who he is and you comment and discuss about the AI industry daily.

Most evil person in AI

@neils888 @MarioNawfal bahahah exactly my first thought too!!

Two Amazon robots got stuck in an aisle, spending what appears to be an eternity shuffling back and forth because neither one could figure out who should move first. This is what happens when you forget to teach a $200,000 robot to say "no, after you."

@kcimc pretty cool. love the design you landed on. love the explanations and how it doesn't look like some ai saas corporate crap. bravo

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9 He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee “In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.” He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience” How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@jasminewsun Thanks for gift link. sounds like a balanced investigated approach thats needs on this issue. will read it later today!

Most people I know in AI think the median person is screwed, and they have no idea what to do about it. I spent the last 3 months talking to dozens of researchers, economists, and policy experts about AI's impact on work; including reps from every frontier lab and several Congressional offices. Unfortunately, I was not reassured. The AI industry is raising the alarm, but can't change course. These companies' core business model relies on the disruption they are warning about: their faith in full automation only makes them go faster. Policymakers are waking up, but still paralyzed by data and debates. Econ wonks disagree on plenty, but even the limited scenario looks like a "painful transition" that will disempower millions of workers. But an "underclass" is not inevitable, but rather a societal choice — and one we can and should stop. Instead of waiting for impact, we should start planning now to support workers through AI disruption. Whether policymakers can assuage concerns about economic security may determine if we get to reap AI's gains at all. New from me for @NYTOpinion. I put a ton into researching what I think may be the biggest topic of the year, so hope you read it (gift link here!) nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opi…

@Mubarak_mubious Saas, AI and Silicon Valley “tech” in general

what industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it ??

@jawwwn_ @louismosley 'lots and lots of people in the economy" sure dude.

Palantir Head of UK @louismosley: The AI doomers are wrong. "These doomer predictions that in 18 months time, AI is going to make all white collar jobs disappear—that's just going to terrify people, understandably." "I think it's wrong." "Yes, AI is going to transform many aspects of our jobs, but on a net basis, it's definitely going to create jobs and it's going to make lots and lots of people in the economy much more valuable than they are today." "In many ways, the tech sector—we are our own worst advocates." "The people who need to be talking about AI are the people who are benefiting from it directly." Via @etnshow

@thematrixb0t "saying the quiet part out loud." ==== "unprecedented" like cmon lets try harder guys

Theo Von is saying the quiet part out loud. Trump’s 2024 win made him realize that Big Tech oligarchs aren’t on the “left or right.” “There’s this other third side that we can’t see … ” “And it’s just commandeering or infiltrating both sides.” Joe Rogan: “It’s always scary when a small amount of individuals have insane amounts of power and wealth.” “And that’s what happened with AI.” “And that’s what happened with tech.” “With tech, the vast majority of the people that are involved were all heavily left-wing.” Von: “But then didn’t half of those people move over to the other political party when Trump got elected?” “That’s what made me start to think none of these guys are really on a side.”

@wheterato dude why would u not care thats messed up, social engineering is no longer a sci fi conspiracy. brave or firefox takes like 3 minutes to install

sure man whatever
