Have you longed for some wise people talking about #AI, who know what they’re speaking about, but aren’t at the same time in the ownership or beneficiary classes from these technologies?

So have I.

The myths Silicon Valley tries to sell us are busted here, but not in a dismissive or doomy way. Harari & Raskin recognize the amazing potential of AI, while they see also the potential of not having a functioning society at the end to enjoy the benefits.

"The machine also dealt with its human interlocutors in polite and empathetic terms, in contrast to the scorn sometimes heaped on conspiracy theorists in real life."

HuggingChat is an AI service that wants you to register and login before you are granted access to their platform. They need to know at least some information about you before you can use their service.

"The machines, created by American Rounds, offer ammo to be purchased without engaging with a store clerk. They “are accessible 24/7, ensuring that you can buy ammunition on your own schedule, free from the constraints of store hours and long lines,” according to the company’s website. The company states that the machines are equipped with “the latest AI technology” with card-scanning and facial-recognition software to verify the identity and age of each buyer. "
