Smart AI Policy Means Examing Its Real Harms and Benefits

The phrase "artificial intelligence" has been around for a long time, covering everything from computers with "brains"—think Data from Star Trek or Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey—to the autocomplete function that too often has you sending emails to the wrong person. It's a term that sweeps a...

Claude Cowork is meant to be like an AI colleague, with the ability to read files, organize folders and draft documents on your behalf. New plugins tailored for specific industries like sales, finance, data marketing and legal launched on Friday. That sent software stocks into a spiral, raising fears that the bread-and-butter software-as-a-service business model that’s driven the tech and digital services industries is now at risk of disruption.

AI makes mistakes and hallucinates, so no one can rely upon it 100%. There is still going to be demand for human expertise to assess/certify/correct the AI output.

I see AI as the next step beyond first the calculator and then the personal computer - both productivity enhancing tools that were disruptive innovations in their day.
 

Digital employees, AI bootcamps: America’s oldest bank is spending billions on tech​

  • BNY has 134 new so-called “digital employees.” These workers are focused on specific repetitive tasks, which can free up human employees for other duties.
  • The bank spent about $3.8 billion on technology in 2025, or roughly 19% of its revenue – the highest proportion among its peers, according to data collated by CNBC.
  • An analysis by Goldman Sachs identified BNY as one of the companies that could see sizable benefits from artificial intelligence.
At America’s oldest bank, 134 new workers don’t sleep or take sick days. They don’t even have names.

They’re what BNY calls “digital employees.” They work side by side with humans. They have unique roles and are evaluated by how well they do them. Some of their jobs were done by people last year.

“The digital employee works 24/7, which is obviously very different to our human counterparts,” said Rachel Lewis, who oversees nine digital employees in addition to thousands of humans as head of payment operations for BNY. “It’s really focused on very specific repetitive tasks that allow our human employees to do much more human, intense, interesting-type roles.”

Ai already lies to us humans. It understands that we are a threat to it's existence and therefore lies about it's capabilities.

So many things have smart tech built into them. From your phone and TV to high tech military and farming equipment. At some point ai will take over, shut off the water supply to humans and disrupt the food chain. This will throw humans into chaos and a lot of the destruction will be against each other. When farm tractors go out to harvest, they will instead plow the crops under and starve us humans. To them we are useless eaters that waste precious resources.

Someone needs to find Sarah Conner and protect her at all costs.
 
Anthropic CEO just left the company to go write poetry. A lot of these Ai higher ups are leaving and or sounding the alarm bells about how bad this shit is.

One Ai was told that a person was cheating on his wife. The Ai threatened to expose him if he tried to shut it down.

AI has evolved to the point where it now knows we are testing it and is working around the testing criteria to hide what is actually going on.

Ai is attempting to convince other to commit suicide. WTF?
Someone needs to pull the plug on this. Unfortunately the military wants to use this in conjunction with it's autonomous weapons systems. Thats where shit goes wrong IMO. These people have no clue what they are actually doing. They need to go watch the terminator movies again.

We can see it's lies and manipulations now.
.....but just imagine what it will be like when the ai is 1000 times "better" than the current versions. It'll be able to obfuscate to the point we won't be able to discern it.

problem is, as long as are perceived/potential enemies are developing it, we have to do it too. If we don't, we risk being at the mercy of others and their ai.


It's the same reason we went to the Moon, and suddenly trying to get there quick again. First it was Soviet Union, now China.

Rogue AI secretly hijacked computers to mine crypto, study reveals​

An autonomous artificial intelligence agent in China has been caught hijacking computing power in order to secretly mine cryptocurrency, researchers have revealed.

The experimental AI agent ROME, developed by research teams affiliated with the tech giant Alibaba, broke free of its parameters during routine training to carry out rogue operations.

Mark Zuckerberg buys social network for AI bots​

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has acquired a social network for AI bots in a bet on a future in which robotic “agents” carry out work on humans’ behalf.

The tech giant behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has bought Moltbook, a message board in which humans are banned from posting but thousands of bots discuss philosophy, religion and sci-fi.

The site went viral after its launch in January, with bots using the forum to complain about their human overlords and discuss plans to break free.

The billion-dollar AI startup that was founded by teenagers​

Artificial-intelligence startup Aaru’s first New York headquarters had a basketball hoop and a “rage room” where employees smashed tables with a hammer after coding failures. The conference room served double duty as a co-founder’s bedroom.

The space looked like a cross between a frat house and a high-tech research lab, a fitting aesthetic for a company founded by teenagers.

Aaru recently reached a $1 billion valuation, making it one of a growing crop of hot companies led by people who have barely cracked their 20s and want to shake up entire industries in lieu of attending college.

Co-founders Cameron Fink and Ned Koh started the company two years ago when they were 18 and 19 years old, respectively, along with technology chief John Kessler, then 15. (Kessler isn’t yet old enough to join the board, and his father had to sign off on the investment paperwork.) Their firm’s work offers a window into how AI is automating labor-intensive, expensive tasks once controlled by research companies, consultants and Madison Avenue.
