Just listened to this and thought it was worth sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EY2QDfp2O4
"Are we on the verge of an AI apocalypse, or is Silicon Valley using doomsday fears to distract us from the damage AI is already doing? Tech insiders and Big Tech CEOs warn that superintelligence could wipe out humanity. Meanwhile, AI is already fuelling warfare and environmental destruction, with zero accountability. If the very people warning us about AIās dangers also stand to profit from it, is existential doom a genuine warning or the ultimate marketing strategy?
This week on The Tea, weāre joined by pioneering AI researcher Dr Timnit Gebru, former co-lead of Googleās Ethical AI team. Timnit warned about the dangers of large language models years before the current AI boom. In this interview, she exposes the motives and the ideology behind Silicon Valleyās apocalyptic vision."

Yeah, he seems to be the rational one when it comes to all of this AI (SI?) doom talk.
I think this is a better link: https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/ai-godfather-yann-lecun-has-zero-concerns-about-human-extinction-says-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-is-deuded/
It links also to an article on effective altruism: https://fortune.com/2026/09/23/effective-altruism-went-from-fringe-philosophy-to-trumps-ai-villain/
Also Timnit Gebru and Emily Bender published this https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/22/1144867/dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype/ which links to a good explanation by Heidy Khlaaf in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwv8zfGyvP8.
I thought this was a good post by Eryk Salvaggio on this: https://mail.cyberneticforests.com/models-dont-go-rogue/
Just saw on r/sneerclub:
Department of War CTO twitted: āThe United States will NEVER be an effective altruist country. šŗšøā
And thereās a photo of Trump with the text: āAMERICANISM, NOT EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM!ā
Hereās the reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/1wj6r6n/trump_is_trying_to_win_the_sneerclub_vote/
Most read article on BBC this morning: AI staff āgenuinely frightenedā for humanityās future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC
Guardian reporting it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/22/openai-says-its-models-went-rogue-and-hacked-startup-in-unprecedented-incident
They do have a partnership with OpenAI though: https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2025/feb/14/guardian-media-group-announces-strategic-partnership-with-openai
Novara media also drinking the kool aid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnqZNnWU8Kg which is disappointing.
I thought this interview with Prof. Michael I. Jordan was worth listening to, heās bringing down the hype a bit: Intelligence is collective, not artificial ā Prof. Michael I. Jordan (UC Berkeley / Inria).
Hereās some typos I noticed:
you ever to -> you ever do
RAM, is critical -> RAM, critical
prevent itās -> its
who look in itās -> its
I watched it here: https://kinema.com/films/ghost-in-the-machine-pvxg4p (found via https://bsky.app/profile/ghostdoc2026.bsky.social/post/3mi3yhdccds2p).
Congrats on the documentary! I watched it last month and Iāve been recommending it to others.
Ran into these two videos today: AI Crash Report: The Money Furnace, AI Crash Report: The Physics of the Collapse.
Full of generated images, but seems to carry a good message.
I thought we all agreed that 4 was the random number.
This is great :D https://morewrong.lol/?post=im-huffing-computer-duster-because-ai-will-reverse-my-brain-damage
