"Dean Ball called it the grand humbling and meant it as a verdict against the encyclical. The encyclical, properly read, returns the favor. The grand humbling Ball wants us to accept is itself the idolatry Pope Leo XIV has spent the document warning us against."

Murder-suicide case shows OpenAI selectively hides data after users die
#HackerNews #MurderSuicide #OpenAI #DataPrivacy #UserRights #TechNews #EthicsInAI

It has been well established that the owners of a model can make it say anything they like. *
Now as little as 250 bad parcels of information will let _external people_ edit what your AI search tells you.**
This goes beyond surveillance of citizens, this is a "by design" attempt at controlling the information people get.***

The purpose of a system is what it does.
GenAI isn't making anywhere near the money required to pay back. Yet, it's being forced into everything.
Why?
Musk shows us that he wants to use Grok to manipulate users into thinking he's the best at everything. Because he is not smart, and not good at computers he's going hands on, hence the ineptitude.
Other billionaires will pay specialists in psych warfare and computing.
Is there a better explanation?

Reminder: “Art History and AI: Ten Axioms” by Sonja Drimmer and Christopher J. Nygren (2023) offers a thoughtful framework for integrating Artificial Intelligence into art historical research — without losing sight of ethics, context, and humanity.

So, millions of people are letting AI do their thinking for them and "summarise" the news.
From the billionaire perspective, this is great!
Musk owns Grok and he frequently says he'll make it tell you what he wants you to hear.
Assuming that the other genAI LLM owners have _slightly_ better self-control, they can also do this, but won't tell you they're doing it.
Truly, AI goons are the most credulous fools in the world.

AI weapons are dangerous in war. But saying they can’t be held accountable misses the point

Well, well, well. ChatGPT's latest "feature":
apparently helping build social media surveillance tools
and even a "Uyghur-Related Inflow Warning Model" for less-than-savory clients.OpenAI's shutting them down, but it's a stark reminder that
every powerful tool has its dark side.What's the most unexpected (and troubling) use of AI you've heard of?

In Plato’s Gorgias, rhetoric isn’t just “suspicious” — Socrates calls it a form of flattery.
A tool for persuasion, yes, but hollow if it isn’t grounded in truth and justice.Aristotle countered: rhetoric is a techne — a craft — neither virtuous nor vicious in itself.
But its proper use demands both skill and moral grounding.Fast-forward 2,400 years: AI now produces language with rhetorical force.
It cannot intend, but its outputs can inform or mislead, heal or harm.
And here we are again — having the same debate:
Is the tool dangerous in itself, or only in unskilled or unethical hands?Aristotle’s point still holds:
The challenge isn’t the instrument.
It’s whether we can cultivate enough wise practitioners to guide it toward the good. -
In the AI & Machine Learning course I teach, I have each student read a book about the social context of AI. Here's my list of suggested books. Any suggestions?
HARD CONSTRAINT: The book must be no more than 10 years old. There is a place for older philosophical or speculative books, but it is not this course.

How do we ensure AI treats users with digital dignity? It starts with a respectful tone. This isn't just a superficial detail; it's crucial for building trust, mitigating bias, and defining brand identity. This article breaks down how to craft that tone, from persona creation to technical implementation.
