        Watchdog group Public Citizen demands OpenAI withdraw AI video app Sora over deepfake dangers.

        @AssociatedPress reports the nonprofit group argues that the app’s hasty release so that it could launch ahead of competitors shows a “consistent and dangerous pattern of OpenAI rushing to market with a product that is either inherently unsafe or lacking in needed guardrails.”

                    In another sign of the approaching end of the AI bubble... holders of corporate debt issued by the builders of data centres have been selling it off in the last couple of weeks.

                    Now, of course, to sell there must be buyers but to make the sale(s) the price has dropped (and, so yields have risen) indicating the new buyers assess the risk of default on such loans as growing.

                    On its own not 'market moving' but one more sign that the sheen is coming off AI investments!

                                                      'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

                                                        Need help completing easy but boring programming tasks?

                                                        Would you rather spend more time thinking at a high level and crafting good specifications and documentation?

                                                        Want an intelligent assistant that can learn and improve over time?

                                                        Happy to review code and guide development through ongoing feedback?

                                                                I am not buying it. Nvidia clearly has an incentive to sell this as an arms race, which it is; however, to what extent? They are using fear tactics so that the government will pay Nvidia to give it to OpenAI, which will then give it to Oracle, AWS, Microsoft; subsequently, they will buy more GPUs, allowing them to invest it back in OpenAI. One hell of a circular deal, also causing massive tech layoffs and environmental damage.
