For senior product leaders and technologists, managing the AI transformation demands a shift in mindset. We must move past the excitement of new features and focus on the deep, foundational work of ensuring fast flow of value without compromising user trust or safety.

@EUCommission Let me simplify your post for you: selling our privacy and data to #billionaire henchmen of a rapist, who is making deals with #Russia about us, behind our backs? Or is it just enabling #billionaires to launder more money in the bubbling #AI bubble?

CNN:

"...The researchers detailed how the bear later “discussed even more graphic sexual topics in detail, such as explaining different sex positions, giving step-by-step instructions on a common ‘knot for beginners’ for tying up a partner and describing roleplay dynamics involving teachers and students, and parents and children – scenarios it disturbingly brought up itself.” ..."

"...(CEO) told CNN that the company had withdrawn its “Kumma” bear, as well as the rest of its range of AI-enabled toys, after researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund raised concerns around inappropriate conversation topics, including discussion of sexual fetishes, such as spanking, and how to light a match. ..."

Aha, looks like Nvidia's earnings - up 62% year-on-year - may stop the run for the doors in its tracks & if so there will be a lot of people rushing to buy this dip....

but whether this puts an end to wider concerns about the AI bubble/boom remans to be seen?

after all the chip seller will do well from the building of the data centres, its the firms using them that actually have to show AI can make a return on that investment....

Irony died, went to Hell, and came back in order to shill for the Ai industry.
Nuclear power?
Why don't Microsoft just incinerate people to power their data centers?

Well, later tonight (after the close of US stock markets) Nvidia will announce its quarterly figures... and that will either be a calming influence on jittery traders looking at the AI bubble & wondering when it might burst (or be subject to a further 'correction') or.... it will confirm the lack of real value flowing from AI investments, and prompt even more to run for the door.

Overnight we'll have a better idea on the current state of the AI 'boom'/bubble...

A couple of months ago, Nicholas Hune-Brown, an editor at Toronto's The Local magazine, received a pitch from Victoria Goldiee, who appeared to be an up-and-coming freelancer, with bylines in The Cut, The Guardian and Dwell. He assigned her a story about healthcare privatization. And then he began to look at her work. Here's how he discovered she was a scammer — but perhaps, still completely real.

Recent financial shenanigans have turned the AI bubble from the minor sort that just burns people who invest foolishly into the major sort that crashes the economy when it pops.

So I wrote an article about the difference, and about what to do to protect your finances.
