Using AI for mental health support is dangerous and wrong.
Buuut, probably less dangerous and wrong than relying on mental health support supposedly provided by NSFT NHS trust in Norfolk, UK

What if when we create Artificial General Intelligence, it punishes everyone who destroyed the planet in order to advance AI technology?

Artificial Intelligence in Emergency and Crisis Management: Rapid Evidence Review Report
In 2022, the Scientific Advice Mechanism delivered advice on how to improve Strategic Crisis Management in the European Union, in response to a request from the European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO). This has stimulated further reflection and become the starting point for a new request for advice on crisis management by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) within DG ECHO. The focus this time is on the chara…

So we face a serious crisis with #ClimateChange, where we know what has to be done and how to do it, but we chose not to invest in it.
And we know we have the resources, because trillions are being spent on speculative investments in AI, which currently is aggravating the #ClimateCrisis wi…

‘We could hit a wall’: why trillions of dollars of risk is no guarantee of AI reward
Progress of artificial general intelligence could stall, which may lead to a financial crash, says Yoshua Bengio, one of the ‘godfathers’ of modern AI

Syntax is not Semantics
Language is not the same as intelligence.
The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring that.

Large language mistake
Neuroscience indicates language is distinct from thought, raising questions about whether AI large language models are a viable path to artificial general intelligence.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says his new superintelligence team will build "frontier-grade research capability" and Microsoft needs AI self-sufficiency (Ashley Stewart/Business Insider)

OpenAI used to prevent Microsoft pursuing AGI. Now, the software giant is free to compete, Mustafa Suleyman says.
A renegotiated deal lets Microsoft independently pursue artificial general intelligence. Suleyman is seizing the moment.

Large language mistake:
"Le problème est que, selon les connaissances actuelles en neurosciences, la pensée humaine est largement indépendante du langage humain — et nous avons peu de raisons de croire que des modèles linguistiques toujours plus sophistiqués permettront de créer une forme d'intelligence qui égalera ou surpassera la nôtre."

Guten Morgen. Es ist überraschenderweise wieder Dienstag und damit #DNIPBriefing-Tag!
1️⃣ Wir nehmen die Behauptungen von Musk, Zuckerberg oder Altman unter die Lupe, dass die künstliche Superintelligenz oder Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) möglicherweise schon 2026 so weit sei.
Ein hervorragender Artikel von The Verge zeigt das wundervoll auf.

Meet OpenAI’s master builder: Greg Brockman is steering a $1.4 trillion infrastructure surge with stakes that go far beyond AI
As OpenAI’s president, Brockman is focused on “completing the mission” of moving beyond AI to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Why must I select AND click submit on the 4 remaining Connection tiles after I have 3 good categories? There’s nothing else to be done. I play on a computer. In a world where we’re told that we are 6 to 24 months away from Artificial General Intelligence, it seems like the game could select and submit them for me 🤷

"regardless of the underlying technology, the pursuit of artificial general intelligence is not necessarily the most efficient route to useful applications. Artificial specific intelligence (AI approaches focused on a specific domain, such as the Nobel prize-winning, protein-folding algorithm, AlphaFold2) gives more reliable and transparent results by combining the subtle pattern detection at which GenAI excels with explicitly encoded, domain-specific knowledge."

What if generative AI is reaching its limits?
The ability of generative AI ('GenAI') to generate plausible text, images, music and computer code in response to human prompts is impressive.

Memo: California's AG says OpenAI's restructuring has "no impact" on other cases, likely referring to Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI over its restructuring (Rocket Drew/The Information)

Musk Suit Unlikely to Unwind OpenAI Restructure
A memo from California’s attorney general suggested that Elon Musk’s federal lawsuit against OpenAI will be unaffected by the artificial intelligence startup’s restructuring. But now that the restructuring has occurred, it may be hard to unwind the change even if Musk wins. Both the attorneys general for Delaware, where OpenAI is incorporated, and California, where it is headquartered, had
