NEW: The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations.
“We don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer. “We want good enough.”

«These machines seem to lay the groundwork for states of delusion. I never thought anything like that could happen to me. Now I’m not so sure. I didn’t understand how easy it might be to lose yourself to AI delusion until I’d messed around with Wolf. […] Which is why I’ll never turn Wolf on again.»

To get a better answer from AI, you need to follow the Oracle from Matrix. "Do you know the question, Neo?"
#AI is definetly a good tool....inside a good enviroment for example an University to combine Studies and maybe find new solutions.
Until now it is learning from our stupitity and meanings.
Maybe that's why Skynet wants to extinguish us.

> AI Agents Are Mathematically Incapable of Doing Functional Work, Paper Finds. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-agents-incapable-math
> "Ignore the rhetoric that tech CEOs spew onstage and pay attention to what the researchers that work for them are finding, and you’ll find that even the AI industry agrees that the tech has some fundamental limitations baked into its architecture."
NOTE: This continues the bad practice of referring to 'generative AI' as 'AI'. Not all AI is LLMs…
AI-driven deepfakes, especially sexualized images of minors, have exploded into a widespread and urgent problem that lawmakers are scrambling to confront as technology races ahead of regulation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/27/world/the-pre-ai-world-is-gone/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #x #grok #elonmusk #ai #deepfakes #childabuse #childporn #chatbots
The Canadian federal government refused to give the public and independent experts time to participate in their rushed and industry-biased "national sprint" on #AI. That's why civil society set up the People's Consultation on AI, in protest and as a meaningful alternative. Participate before March 15: https://www.peoplesaiconsultation.ca/

@shish Yes. This concerns me, as well.
We haven't seen the long term cost of the #AI tendency to copy/paste code rather than to import from libraries.
I am concerned that patching is going to return to an earlier meaning - we may need to find ways to address widespread code vulnerabilities not with package managers, but by sharing `patch` files while trying to find everywhere that needs them.

About that, "We built a web browser from scratch with AI," claim…

Just read https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.15494. #AI agents boost productivity by remixing #OSS, but weaken the human feedback loops that sustain it. Feels analogous to how ideas are now consumed through #LLMs instead of directly from source

“Unprepared for what has already happened” captures how many people feel about the #AI boom.
But that doesn’t mean you’re behind. We’re still at the starting line, and can intentionally shape our future, explains a professor who leads workshops on adapting to AI. https://theconversation.com/feeling-unprepared-for-the-ai-boom-youre-not-alone-273192

The rapid evolution of #AI coding tools and increasingly sophisticated generative AI models has resurfaced the idea of “disposable software,” or designing for obsolescence. What does this mean for government software projects and how can spec-driven development help?
