This guy at this #ChatGPT 5 live stream literally just said, after it made a mistake, "You know, sometimes it's not great."
My friend Dan Munz and I wrote a post about something we've been talking about and thinking about for a while now - how AI will change not just how people interact with governments but also how we do our work as civic technologists. We think it means the end of civic tech's "interface era."

Study says ChatGPT is giving teens dangerous advice on drugs, alcohol and suicide.
@AssociatedPress quotes a study author: "We wanted to test the guardrails. The visceral initial response is, ‘Oh my Lord, there are no guardrails.’"

New study: "To test whether the results might sometimes include retracted research, we identified 217 retracted or otherwise concerning academic studies with high altmetric scores and asked #ChatGPT 4o-mini to evaluate their quality 30 times each. Surprisingly, none of its 6510 reports mentioned that the articles were retracted or had relevant errors."

Stop lying about what ChatGPT does to our brains!

When #AI is being used, to create absolute nonsense about the effects of AI, which is then shared with millions of people, for no discernible reason... we're in a very weird situation.

Encouraged by the reaction to yesterday's (very short) post : https://tomstafford.substack.com/p/ai-will-be-the-biro-of-thought
I have a set of similar pre-baked talking points on how to make sense of the AI/LLM revolution, so this may be the first in a series

ui ich bin gerade in einer Recherche auf einen Wikipedia-Artikel gestoßen, der offenbar zumindest teilweise KI-generiert ist mit einer Reihe halluzinierter Links. Die darin zitierten Aussagen hat es offenbar so nie gegeben. Sie werden aber natürlich ebenso ausgespuckt von der Google-KI-Zusammenfassung und auch von ChatGPT. So schnell werden KI-halluzinierte Inhalte zu Fakten. Dinge, die nie stattgefunden haben. 😱

Private Chats bei Google auffindbar: OpenAI nimmt Funktion zurück
Falsch verstandene Funktion macht private Chats öffentlich auffindbar – im Zweifel samt Namen. OpenAI greift nun ein.
ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results
OpenAI scrambles to remove personal ChatGPT conversations from Google results.
(Me: nothing to add here, it'd be like dynamiting fish in a barrel.)
@cstross So are they saying Technology Minister Peter Kyle's inane conversations with his robot friend are just out there for anyone to find?
The jury’s still out on whether America can innovate enough to defend its technological hegemony. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/01/world/trumps-tech-policies-and-success-against-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #ai #us #artificialintelligence #meta #xai #softbank #chatgpt #openai #tech #bigtech #stargate
