    Frightening. 🙀 Two smart people very much taken in & manipulated & not in a good way. Nothing in common except maybe loneliness; & the first guy’s cat died (sounded like he had no one to talk to about his feelings about that; quite common in our society - no one wants to know about your grief, few have mastered the art of just listening & letting you be sad… gross overstatement, but covers some truth). 😿

    Elon Musk’s X or whatever bit of his empire runs the Grok version of ‘AI LLM agentic thing pretending to be nearly a person’ never responded to enquiries (in their rude & usual arrogance). 😡

    The researcher & reporter ask what are the harms with more subtle cases? 🤔 Feel like we all want to know that… are we in mind control experiments if we use these things… 🤔
    It could be nice to have some reassurances. 😮

  14. Social media companies face legal reckoning over mental health harms to children

    misryoum.com/us/technology/soc

    For years, social media companies have disputed allegations that they harm children’s mental health through deliberate design choices that addict kids to their platforms and fail to protect them from sexual predators and dangerous content. Now, these tech giants are...

    Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI

    “[It’s] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we’ve done a lot of damage,” he said.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has seen his net worth skyrocket by nearly $100 billion since the AI boom started a couple of years ago, would really appreciate it if you would stop talking about the potential harms of the technology that’s supercharged his fortune. It’s really harshing his vibe.

    In an appearance on the No Priors podcast hosted by Elad Gil and Sarah Guo, Huang took aim at people who have suggested AI may have some significant, detrimental impact, from job displacement to expanding the surveillance state. “[It’s] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we’ve done a lot of damage with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative,” he said.

    According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

    Huang isn’t totally off-base about some of what he’s suggesting. Regulatory capture is a real risk, especially as multi-billion-dollar companies look to lock in their lead by using their absurd wealth to sway politicians and cement favorable policy. And there’s no doubt that AI players have been getting into the lobbying business. According to the Wall Street Journal, Silicon Valley firms have already poured more than $100 million into new Super PACs to push pro-AI messaging in the lead-up to midterm elections in 2026. There is also zero doubt that industry players use societal-scale risks as a marketing tactic: it makes their product seem full of endless potential, and it suggests they need to maintain control of it to keep everyone safe rather than letting this powerful tool fall into the wrong hands or be controlled by some government regulator.
