A global AI summit kicks off in New Delhi on Monday with big issues on the agenda, from job disruption to child safety, but some attendees warn the broad focus could diminish the chance of concrete commitments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/16/tech/india-ai-summit-safety/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #india #ai #tech

Next time you see someone braying about how AI is killing art, check their profile. It can be instructive. Do they actually repost creatives or post supportive comments?
Nothing kills art like dead silence. I burned out on music because I'm a social animal and nobody cared when I talked about it.

Last week I created two fairly complex programs with AI Coding Agents only and they worked as intended. That's hard to admit for me, given that I still can't wait for this whole bubble to pop and for the Silicon Valley to become a smouldering crater.
But while the programs technically work, it's crazy to see the agents handle errors. There is no logic or strategy in it: Throw every shell command in existence at it: ls, grep, cat and a little javac for good measure. It always seems to walk the solutions depth-first and try to make the wrong assumption work somehow.
It's literally this fantastic analogy of dumping rocks into the river until they can be used as a bridge.

The situation with AI is getting worse.
Mrinank Sharma, former lead of Safeguards Research Team at Anthropic resigned and announced at X that he is deeply concerned about the current state of the world. Instead - he announced, he plans to go to the UK to focus on poetry and writing, which might be a good idea for everyone who can afford it.
And he is not the only one. Zoe Hitzig also resigned at OpenAI because of her deep reservations against OpenAI's plans to introduce advertising.

Gilakas’la for the helpful addition! @bougiewonderland
We in the #ndp must have a plan to put people and planet first over #AI.
Our plan puts a moratorium on new AI data centers, criminalizes the creation or distribution of sexualized AI deepfakes, protects users from data extractivism and shields workers from AI layoffs.

Your Friends Could Be Sharing Your #PhoneNumber with #ChatGPT
"ChatGPT is getting more social," reports PC Magazine, "with a new feature that allows you to sync your #contacts to see if any of your friends are using the #chatbot or any other #OpenAI product..." It's "completely optional," [OpenAI] says. However, even if you don't opt in, anyone with your number who syncs their contacts are giving OpenAI your digits.
