Dennett: "This is the real code red. We need to “institute new attitudes, new laws, and spread them rapidly and remove the valorization of fooling people, the anthropomorphization,” he said. “We want smart machines, not artificial colleagues.”"

Anyone with a financial interest in AI/ML should be considered too compromised to have an honest opinion on these topics.

The best thing I've seen written on Musk and Twitter is this random YouTube comment (that I can't find a way to link to directly)

For those yet to see it: Europe's sleeper trains, mapped... https://files.wegewerk.com/index.php/s/Mr8WX7WMT5gd66a (Paris-Italy, and into Spain - those yawning gaps in the network just scream 'fill me!' don't they...)

So we just made an Open Access Biological Psychology textbook! It was the result of lots of work by many lovely contributors in Sussex and around the UK but you can read it For Free ANYWHERE!! Https://openpress.sussex.ac.uk/introductiontobiologicalpsychology/ #psychology #neuroscience #openscience

We have updated the documentation of our spherical treadmill for mouse VR experiments with some notes on computer mouse readout and VR software integration: https://www.3dneuro.com/open-hardware/spherical-treadmill/ #openhardware #opensource

I wanted to write something like, "oh you don't say" but this is *actually* a brutal read

Die drei Stufen der sog. Eigenverantwortung:

1. Ich mache nichts, es gibt ja noch nicht mal eine Empfehlung.
2. Ist ja nur eine Empfehlung, so wichtig ist das offensichtlich nicht.
3. Ich lass' mir doch nichts vorschreiben.

College essay assignment: use ChatGPT to write an essay on the following topic. Print it out and, by hand, grade and critique the essay, showing where it is wrong(based on what we’ve learned in class), inadequate or where the writing is clichéd or otherwise less than excellent human quality.

Some of y’all are just scared & constitutionally wrong. Grow up. Contribute, rather than sowing fear.

The best moment! @biorxivpreprint
