I love this:"#AI's potential significantly outweighs its teething problems. We must approach it with #critical #optimism, not #fear. This crucial juncture in the AI industry should rally all stakeholders – AI companies, developers, end-users, and regulators - to #collaboratively build a #safer, more #transparent, and #accountable #AI #ecosystem. As we've seen with #cybersecurity, it's an arduous journey, but the destination – a #world made #better through AI – is well worth the effort."

«««««
Sometimes it is good for us to have troubles and hardships, for they often call us back to our own hearts. Once there, we know ourselves to be strangers in this world, and we know that we may not believe in anything that it has to offer.

Hey #liberals on #twitter, you see now how #Turkey had its dictator reinstalled thanks, in no small part, to #Musk censoring #Erdoğan’s competition? He can only continue to do this while his social network has power, and that power comes from its users. #LeaveTwitter, Turkey is today, tomorrow is #USA, and the #world.
Also it’s no surprise that Twitter might leave the #EU, since Musk sides with Putin, once the US falls to fascism expect a war with Europe.
