“I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT” is the single saddest sentence i’ve ever heard
Jimmy Fallon asks Sam Altman if he uses ChatGPT to raise the baby he has with his husband, and his answer is hilarious Jimmy Fallon: “You, you and your husband just had a baby. Congratulations, yeah. How old? How old is the baby?” Sam Altman: “Eight month old?” Jimmy Fallon: “Are you loving him?” Sam Altman: “So much. I have no non-cliched thing to say, but it is by far so much better than anything anyone tells you. I just so incredibly happy.” Jimmy Fallon: “And do you use ChatGPT when, when raising your baby?” Sam Altman: “I do. I mean I feel kind of bad about it because I, we have this like genius level at everything, intelligence sitting there like waiting to unravel the mysteries of humanity.” “And I'm like, why my kid stop dropping his pizza on the floor and laughing?” “So I feel like I'm not asking a good enough question.” “But it is, I don't know. I cannot imagine having gone through like figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly people did it for a long time, no problem.”

ai leaders just get in front of a camera everyday and go "yo this shit fucking sucks everybody hates it it is going to kill us all it will destroy everything it does nothing worth anything it has to be stopped and that's why I will continue to build it"
Dario Amodei: AI may be uniquely well suited to autocracy and deepening repression. “We already see it in the kind of surveillance state possible with today’s technology.” “AI can make individualized propaganda and break into computer systems.” “It could surveil everyone in a population, detect dissent everywhere and suppress it.” “You could have a huge army of drones that could go after each individual person.” “It’s really scary, and we have to stop it.”

En dan dat zinnetje: bij een rondetafelgesprek met experts waren alleen de coalitiefracties en Pro komen opdagen. Gaat over miljarden. Geen talkshow die eens verhaal gaat halen bij de rest van de Kamer. volkskrant.nl/politiek/kabin…

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history. Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Het gaat vaak over de politieke bedreigingen van de vrije pers, en terecht. Maar uiteindelijk zijn mediaconcentratie in een paar grote conglomeraten en de gedachteloze omarming van AI boven ambacht minstens zo'n groot gevaar. theguardian.com/media/2026/o…

Gisteren nog bracht de Telegraph dit sterke onderzoek over Russische vissersboten die tegen de VK spioneren. Als je denkt dat AI dit kan overnemen ben je een idioot. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao theverge.com/policy/1016751/…
