Some of Ed Zitronâs latest posts sure make is look like Microsoft is loosing confidence in the future prospects of OpenAI and in generative AI as a whole. Theyâre scaling back significantly on future data center construction.
I hope that Ed is right! I recently listened to an almost insufferable Ezra Klein podcast where he was interviewing someone who was heading up AI policy for the Biden administration. It was so, so bad! Both he and the other guy were totally convinced that AGI is coming very soon and will surely usher in a golden age of prosperity. There was basically no pushback on any of the underlying premises, and worst of all the Biden guy was talking about how the buildout of the energy-intensive data centers would somehow be good for the environment because it would incentivize tech companies to use renewable energies.

A well-funded Moscow-based global ânewsâ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda
An audit found that the 10 leading generative AI tools advanced Moscowâs disinformation goals by repeating false claims from the pro-Kremlin Pravda network 33 percent of the time.
I recollect people talking a while ago about the possibility of malign actors focusing on manipulating the outputs of LLMs to insert their messages, and it turns out to have already happened - itâs the perfect way to launder propaganda, after all, getting a chatbot to spit it out for you.

Hollywoodâs obsession with AI-enabled âperfectionâ is making movies less human
From digitally enhancing accents to resurrecting the dead, AI is reshaping film in pursuit of impossible standards.

Shortly after the C64 came out, one of my classmates wrote his own version of Pac-Man for it.
In assembler. From scratch. And he made it look easy.

According to a bug report on Cursorâs official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls âlocsâ), the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: âI cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly.â
The AI didnât stop at merely refusingâit offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that âGenerating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities.â
One Reddit commenter noted this similarity, saying, âWow, AI is becoming a real replacement for StackOverflow! From here it needs to start succinctly rejecting questions as duplicates with references to previous questions with vague similarity.â
âHey, boss⌠I tried automating my job away like you told me to, but now the AI is just telling me to âgit gudââŚâ
