I'm curating SN's AI post site-wide (not just ~ai) weekly. If I missed a post, let me know!
Rude Humans vs Sneaky AIs
This week @_Bubble_2009 shared that It's rude to show AI output to people, and while some people don't take much offense and downzap, others Wanted to Save the World From A.I. Then the Killings Started, as shared by @Cje95. AIs and their output are clearly harder to get rid of than humans, which is something we probably have to keep in mind going forward, and perhaps invest a little to protect our fragile flesh. Skills are important too: learn to recognize when you're the mark, per How can you know if an AI is plotting against you?, by @0xbitcoiner.
Humans Governing Other Humans
It's been a big week for AI industry governance in the US with the AI Action Plan: @ch0k1 shared a live stream, Trump delivers remarks on AI 'action plan' and signs executive orders, of which Cloudflare's analysis - The White House AI Action Plan: a new chapter in U.S. AI policy was shared by @0xbitcoiner, and finally @optimism analyzed Open Source and America's AI Action Plan
Job-Hopping Humans
Microsoft decided to copy Meta's strategy from last week: Microsoft poaches more Google DeepMind AI talent as it beefs up Copilot, reported by @ch0k1 and @Car shared that OpenAI has lost over 25% of its key talent in last 24 months. However, with @Scoresby sharing the news that Anthropic Faces Potentially “Business-Ending” Copyright Lawsuit, we know of at least one place to not hop to right now, but no despair, because @Scoresby also shared that Jack announces goose grant program, so you can always just actually do the morally right thing and hop straight into the open source community, but not have to starve! Thanks Jack!
