.@jonstewart unpacks AI’s dubious promise of a better future, from the fate of our jobs to an "age of abundance"

WOW 🚨 If you have a printer at home you need to hear this
This American has been using her HP Printer at home for 5 years. It’s always worked fine but it kept asking her to connect to WiFi. She’s never connected it, but after nonstop notifications being told she needed to connect it to WiFi or she will lose the ability to print, she finally connected it
Now her printer wont print
She’s been using cheaper ink in the printer for years, it’s about $40 cheaper per cartridge and works the same
As soon as she connected to WiFi the printer updated to restrict the use of her printer with non-official HP INK cartridges
She’s so upset she’s in tears and losing it
I looked into this and they’re doing it to everyone
The message is “The indicated cartridges have been identified as altered or cloned. HP printers require original HP…”
That’s the exact error HP uses when Dynamic Security rejects a cartridge chip.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is how the printer gets the firmware that tightens those checks.
HP’s own docs say firmware updates over the internet “will maintain the effectiveness of the dynamic security measures” and can block cartridges that worked before
The second she connected her printer to WiFi she made her printer unusable unless she pays double the price for the same ink

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

A day after saying AI could kill us all, Dario Amodei sat down for his first interview:
"I would rather they make fun of me than to wake up one day and discover that someone used our model Claude to kill a bunch of people."
He doubled down on everything, AI is on an exponential and we're at the bend where it gets steep, so we need to slow down, not stop.
He wants third-party inspectors inside every AI lab, he confirmed Elon and Sam are on board, and he says the US and China need arms-control style talks like the nuclear era.
Personally, I don't think this is all being done just to set up a favorable IPO, too many independent voices and direct competitors have backed him on it.
Unfortunately we don't have access to the information Dario, Sam or Elon do, so for now we just have to take their word for it.
What do you think about all this?
Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster.
The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself.
He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.
And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said.
All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity.
Tell me this timing isn't strange.

Swarms of Al bots have done a lot more insane attacks recently than reported in mainstream media. That's why Al leadership is calling for slowdown. Politicians who try to overrule or dispute are completely deaf and blind to reality, or psychopaths.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
