<p>Buzzfeed's shares go from $15 to 70 cents, now approaching bankruptcy, seemingly as a result of going all-in on 'AI' generated content. </p><p>This emerging pattern does not speak to a wicked problem. Rather, it should be no surprise that people don't want to read machine-generated content that outwardly pretends to come from a person. Because it is innately &intrinsically deceptive, which people do not like, so ending trust that will be very hard to win back.

<p>New, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts</p><p>AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.</p><p>Read more (and boost please!):</p><p><a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/03/how-ai-assistants-are-moving-the-security-goalposts/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="krebsonsecurity.com/2026/03/how-ai-assistants-are-moving-the-security-goalposts/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">krebsonsecurity.com/2026/03/ho</span><span class="invisible">w-ai-assistants-are-moving-the-security-goalposts/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/openclaw/" rel="tag">#openclaw</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/agentic/" rel="tag">#agentic</a> <a href="/tags/aiagents/" rel="tag">#aiagents</a> <a href="/tags/lethaltrifecta/" rel="tag">#lethaltrifecta</a></p>

I think it is meaningful that Marvin Minsky, sometimes called the "father of AI", seemed to hold human beings in low regard.<br><br>Here's John Searle in 1983:<br><p>Marvin Minsky of MIT says that the next generation of computers will be so intelligent that we will ‘be lucky if they are willing to keep us around the house as household pets.'<br></p>Here's Joseph Weizenbaum in 2007:<br><p>Professor Marvin Minsky of MIT, once pronounced—a belief he still holds—that ‘‘the brain is merely a meat machine.’’<br></p>He goes on to note that meat is dead and might be eaten or thrown out. Flesh is what's alive. He also draws attention to the word "merely", as in "nothing more than".<br><br>I share with Weizenbaum the belief that Minsky has clearly expressed a disdain for human intelligence. We're on the order of household pets. Our brains are no more than food or trash. Obviously Minsky doesn't speak for all AI researchers then or since, but his "meat machine" language is all over the place, and this disdain or even contempt for human intelligence and achievement is also common.<br><br>It definitely doesn't speak to a curiosity about intelligence, which I think requires at least a little bit of love and esteem.<br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/artificialintelligence/" rel="tag">#ArtificialIntelligence</a> <a href="/tags/intelligence/" rel="tag">#intelligence</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a><br>

<p>Boost plz!</p><p>Looking for critical scholarship on the use of "AI" by library/archive workers.
