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.” ..."

Well, so much for the that one for the kids! Off the Christmas list! 🤪

"...(CEO) told CNN that the company had withdrawn its “Kumma” bear, as well as the rest of its range of AI-enabled toys, after researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund raised concerns around inappropriate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....

US gov is giving $1bn for Microsoft to restart a nuclear power plant at a former nuclear power plant disaster site, because AI. https://gizmodo.com/us-approves-1b-loan-to-restart-three-mile-island-as-microsoft-data-centers-drive-demand-2000688138

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.

I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.
Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation
A rusty needle in the crimson haystack trying to be discovered as a golden needle.
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.

Well, well, well, Peter Thiel in the last days/weeks (according to regulatory filings in the US) has sold his entire stake in Nvidia (a key stock linked to Artificial Intelligence) & has reduced his Tesla holdings... given Thiel is at the centre of many TechBro-ocracy, if he's bailed out of Nvidia in the last weeks, I think its safe to say the AI bubble is about to burst....
Time to batten down the hatches folk... and watch out for the 'too big to fail' crowd
