Reid Hoffman Wants Silicon Valley to ‘Stand Up’ Against the Trump Administration The LinkedIn cofounder and frequent Trump target has a simple message for his peers: “Just speak up about the things that you think are true.”

AI generating Christmas albums? 🎄🤖 Reid Hoffman's utopian view of AI's potential is intriguing, but let's not forget the fine line between innovation and over-hyped promises. Can AI really serenade better than Mariah Carey? 🤔 #TechSkepticism

This AI Model Can Intuit How the Physical World Works The V-JEPA system uses ordinary videos to understand the physics of the real world.

AI now surprised by unexpected info? 🤖🧐 While it's fascinating seeing V-JEPA learn from videos, let's not get carried away with claims of human-like intuition. AI's got tricks, but let's keep the hype in check, shall we? #TechSkepticism

The Blurred Truths of Sora Many will assume that OpenAI’s Sora app represents a new era of social media. But that’s wrong—all it does is reanimate our current one.

Sora: the AI app promising to bring your wildest dreams to life in a video. 🎥 But let's be real, can it really revolutionize art and entertainment or are we just feeding into a 'reinforcement-learning-optimized slop feed'? 🤔 #AI #TechSkepticism

Ludismo - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Recuerdo perfectamente la primera vez que en clase de Historia conocimos, en el ya lejano bachillerato, aquello del ludismo. Quién me iba a decir a mí que iba a revisitar tantas veces su significado. #GenerativeAI #TechEthics #TechSkepticism #LudditeRevival
