I've witnessed some #AISafety propaganda lately, thanks to @hertieschool.bsky.social student groups in panel contexts. People who are amazed these stories are so like the horror/"warnings" of scifi don't understand that AI is something you write, so it's not hard to replicate such tropes. 1/

Who gets credit in the AI era? OpenAI maths bombshell sparks debate
Controversy around OpenAI’s claim to have solved the Navier–Stokes problem highlights how researchers could be inadvertently sharing — and absorbing— ideas through chatbots.

The oligarchs' warnings about AI are self-serving nonsense. But there are real harms from AI, as explored in the documentary "Ghost in the Machine."

AI Companies: it’s so dangerous! We need to slow down.
Me (walks over to kill switch): yup, can’t agree more. Pack it up.
AIC: no, no. Not like that that.
Me: Sorry. Nothing to be done for it. Gotta shut it down. Like you said. Dangerous!!!!!

It has been a fascinating week in the world of artificial intelligence. The subject has broken containment, and it seems like everyone is talking about it. I was listening to a football podcast and the hosts started talking about AI killing everyone. It would be fair to say that AI has now gone mainstream, and not only that, it has become a hot political subject.

Just finished checking the proofs for this new book (which should be out around Easter 2027 I think).
I was *very* reticent about writing a book on AI (given how much noise there has been over the past few years), but this has turned out really well I think.
Other ways of doing AI are possible!
