they already slant the news to what they think the people want, why go to AI to do that?

An AI would still have more authentic emotions than Taylor Lorenz!

Maybe its really not Will Lewis thinking its cheaper, but the folks at Langley. A lot easier to mail out the AI written article, than contacting the newsroom and saying “these are the talking points on such-and-such topic. Craft a story that doesn’t make things too obvious where its coming from.”

AI = Artificial Idiocy.

No more human error. Computers will deliberately get everything wrong now.

Washington Post’s management next step, email AI to write nice note firing humans..... Mission accomplished..... oops sorry guess the Washington Post would not use Bush’s slogan. Guess they could use “If you drag a hundred dollar bill through a server farm, you never know what you’ll find to replace workers”.

Every 3 to 6 months, I buy a real book, not a kindle to read/underline and highlight.

Below is my newest real book: Bohica* best describes the first 30 pages of this book.

The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century’s Greatest Dilemma
by Mustafa Suleyman (Author), Michael Bhaskar
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,025 ratings 3.9 on Goodreads 4,883 ratings
#1 Best Seller in Social Aspects of Technology

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An urgent warning of the unprecedented risks that AI and other fast-developing technologies pose to global order, and how we might contain them while we have the chance—from a co-founder of the pioneering artificial intelligence company DeepMind and current CEO of Microsoft AI.

“A fascinating, well-written, and important book.”—Yuval Noah Harari
“Essential reading.”—Daniel Kahneman
“An excellent guide for navigating unprecedented times.”—Bill Gates

A Best Book of the Year: CNN, Economist, Bloomberg, Politico Playbook, Financial Times, The Guardian, CEO Magazine, Semafor • Winner of the Inc. Non-Obvious Book Award • Finalist for the Porchlight Business Book Award and the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award

We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change.

Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organize your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.

None of us are prepared.

As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the center of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.

In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.

Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?

This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes “the containment problem”—the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies—as the essential challenge of our age.

BOHICA: Stands for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again. The meaning is that something undesirable is going to happen again and that there’s not much else one can do other than just endure it.

Take an email from the DNC and run it through AI. Instant story.

Wapo sick and tired of foot stomping DEI hires demanding this that and the other thing and getting sued for some bogus racist acts?

Why pay college grads to be abusive to staff when AI can do the same work with no lip?

All they have to do is train their AI on all of the newspapers except for a few like the New York Post that lean right and they will get the exact same garbage as their overpaid Ivy League presstitutes and the AI will write the exact same garbage for far less.

That’s great news!

When they finally achieve the intelligent part of artificial intelligence, it will be conservative.

If it’s still liberal, then it’s AS (artificial stupidity).
