One good thing about the AI boom is it’s really brought to light which officials and representatives of important positions are absolute morons.

Really? Then you haven't paid attention much.

US Senator talks about how moving people on Guam might cause it to "Flip over" Politicians have been warm bodies for the real people in charge a long, long time.

This really feels like inept buracracy just trying to relive the glory of the microsoft trial. Yeah Chrome is for sure essentially the only browser like IE back in the day. However Chrome is open source and there are countless clones/spin offs. It not really monopolistic behavior because of that. I"m not a fan of Googles various issues but they are at this time still being good stewards of Chrome.

Moving Chrome to OpenAI would be the most braindead move ever by the gov, so I expect to see it happen.

Its really depressing that this is happening everywhere. The one good thing the internet did was open up paths to people that were being gate-kept before it. Now it's looking more and more like going back to gatekeeping is the only way any smallish company can stay in business. The scammers have always been there but now they can flood out authentic people without any effort on their part. Essentially allowing single bad actors to become the "Tyranny majority"

This is rather interesting.

I'm a bit confused as to where/what exactly the scam newsworthiness is. It seems to be scamming for college money/grants/scholarships/loans. However I"m not clear on how this is different from a real student that just never shows up and flunks out eventually. The scam seems started before the enrollment of school when they were approved for the money. The scammer succeeded when they got the money approved before enrolling. It seems like AI is just making it easier to exploit a known loophole longer.

Isn't this just the continued bottom dropping out of the higher education bloat and education financing cash grab overall.

It's a Psyop tactic. To deflect the main issue of AI being a useless mess. "AI is only bad if you are a mentally undeveloped child" otherwise our product works fine. Now we can regulate that its OK and healthy to use as long as you prove you are over 18yo.

Someone please think of the children!

All "productivity" sphere can be summarized in one sentence.

"Smile while you are ground to a pulp to make others rich"

marking people in the ancient Social Security database as 150 years old means they’re dead and not receiving payments.

My guess is that is what happens when you tell a group of 20 year olds to "find something incriminating ASAP" No one even bothered to check why those records might be there. They just ran to musk "I found it" and then they talked about it on TV.

Vibe coding for me will always be the moment we hit peak "AI" Its literally the term con artists use to hock their witchcraft remedies.

The ultra rich are so disconnected they don't care and don't have to. They literally are grinding millions of lives into misery so they can brag at the next Christmas dinner/country club/golf game that they made a billion and one dollars and their other family members only made a billion.
