These AI companies keep announcing dire warnings about the dangers of AI while AI is neither profitable nor very useful. Sounds to me like they’re trying to hype their product so as to gain any return on their investment.

But to be honest , the better thing is not to anthropomorphize a machine or a program. No one worries about the moral standing of a hammer

It is unimpeachable from pythagorean times.

@sentantiq.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 12:31 PM

The only real argument for not abusing ai programs is that harming anthropomorhized things casualizes us to abusing others in general. We are the moral agents The whole socratic doing iniustice is worse than suffering it turn

the AI generated author bookclub scams--joined by book trailer, promotion and various grifts--are now joined by fake NPR Fresh Air invitations. [but not terribly well designed: the host reaching out about a book published 6 years ago, sharing a thinly edited google summary. Do better scammers!]

beyond parroting the greek miracle component of white supremacy, Rubio also presents a version of Greek thought that has neither the delphic imperative of self-knowledge nor the corrective warning of "nothing to excess"

SSarah E. Bond@sarahebond.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:49 AM

90% of how Rubio described “the West” while in Athens (e.g., "fierce individuality,” “relentless ambition”) is just a rehashing of ideas plucked from Ayn Rand. Encouraging people to “ethical egoism” is how we got this level of inequality—which now sits at a higher level than Ancient Athens ever had.
