Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

AI CEO warns AI’s disruption will be”much bigger” than COVID: “the people I care about deserve to hear what is coming”
Every time one of these AI CEOs goes viral for saying the most self-serving, demonstrably false nonsense I am fascinated by how many people take it seriously.

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

If we want to cheer the "architects" of AI, fine, but they aren't Sam Altman or Elon Musk. Those guys built word generators.
GenAI simply doesn't exist without the writers and artists whose work is the only real value underpinning chatbots.
