Compelling essay by sci-fi writer Ted Chiang on why LLMs are nowhere near consciousness, but why it serves the interests of LLM companies to constantly suggest that they might be.
I've pulled one quote below, but the whole article is worth reading.

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.
Keke Palmer opens up about her thoughts on AI:
"The climate stuff is worrying and concerning, but then there’s the reality that it’s not going anywhere. So I find myself trying to figure out how to be prepared, how to create things that protect the environment, be a part of things that are making it ethical. But I’m also understanding how it’s democratizing a lot of spaces for people that otherwise couldn’t reach them. So it’s weird. It can be so positive, but it also can be so damaging."

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.
Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.
Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

As Jewish New Yorkers, we are very glad that @NYCMayor is not attending.
Let's take a look at the kinds of Israeli officials attending today.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
