The documents I obtained include an OpenAI contract with the Pentagon requiring that the military AI it sold to Hegseth would maximally comply with the military's commands. The story behind this doc became very strange (thread)

Friendly reminder that if there is no such thing as a faithful AI upscale. AI will hallucinate details that do not reflect reality and it will put your integrity at risk to present an AI image as reality
Hello my name is Olivia Reingold and I used ChatGPT to brighten and sharpen an image of a woman in Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
After processing, it still shows these same things: a woman wearing Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
She is a real (and chic!) woman, really e observation holds.
Here’s the photo I took:

The excerpt is from Dario Amodei's 2010 GiveWell guest post as a Princeton physics grad student; he donated the $10k to VillageReach (child vaccines) and described the critical analysis as emotionally taxing.

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

This plan to attack open weight models via litigation is bankrolled by the companies that are most financially threatened by open weight models thefai.org/about-us
One of the most concerning developments in open-weight AI has been the rise of vendors of "abilterated" models offering cyber capabilities with no guardrails
@JoinFAI's FLD is seeking prospective plaintiffs who may have been injured by these systems to support impact litigation

Trump Media stock is down 46% today. A share costs about as much as a Happy Meal. At its peak, investors paid $175 a share.

i think twitter spending four years pushing the "For You" tab made it filter bubble central for terminally online elite tech/AI folks, which really accelerated certain pockets of insular Valley thinking
