She's fed up dealing with the new hive-minded type world she's in, almost everyone has become a woke yes-man.

Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel criticized Pope Leo XIV's call for greater AI regulation during a panel at the Aspen Ideas Festival, saying the pontiff was inadvertently “working for the Chinese Communists.”

Thiel argued that stricter AI rules would mainly slow development in the United States because China would be unlikely to follow similar restrictions, giving Beijing an advantage in the AI race, according to a CNN report.

The remarks came in response to Pope Leo XIV's May encyclical, which called for stronger international oversight of artificial intelligence and said the technology “must be disarmed.

Meta pulls new AI image feature after days of backlash

Meta's release this week of an AI feature that let people alter Instagram content drew swift blowback.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Meta has abruptly taken down a new feature that allowed people to use its artificial intelligence (AI) tool to make fake images from user content on Instagram. The feature was part of a broad rollout of Muse Image, a new AI image generation tool Instagram's parent company released on Tuesday. It allowed users of the Meta AI chatbot to tag public-facing accounts on Instagram and quickly use content on those accounts to create AI-generated or altered content and images. The feature quickly sparked blowback due to privacy concerns, leading Meta to admit it had “missed the mark" so it was "no longer available”.

Muse Image was the tech firm's first foray into AI image generation but faced backlash as Instagram users were opted in by default. It meant that anyone with a public account could have their likeness used without their knowledge or permission.

Palantir employees are talking about company’s “descent into fascism” - Ars Technica​

Slack messages, interviews with current and former works paint picture of company in turmoil.

"Have you noticed that our caps actually have little pictures of skulls on them?" ​

It took just a few months of President Donald Trump’s second term for Palantir employees to question their company’s commitments to civil liberties.

Last fall, Palantir seemed to become the technological backbone of Trump’s immigration enforcement machinery, providing software identifying, tracking, and helping deport immigrants on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, when current and former employees started ringing the alarm.

Around that time, two former employees reconnected by phone. Right as they picked up the call, one of them asked, “Are you tracking Palantir’s descent into fascism?”

“That was their greeting,” the other former employee says. “There’s this feeling not of ‘Oh, this is unpopular and hard,’ but ‘This feels wrong.’”

Palantir was founded—with initial venture capital investment from the CIA—at a moment of national consensus following the September 11, 2001, attacks, when many saw fighting terrorism abroad as the most critical mission facing the US.

The company, which was cofounded by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, sells software that acts as a high-powered data aggregation and analysis tool powering everything from private businesses to the US military’s targeting systems.

For the past 20 years, employees could accept the intense external criticism and awkward conversations with family and friends about working for a company named after J. R. R. Tolkien’s corrupting all-seeing orb.

But a year into Trump’s second term, as Palantir deepens its relationship with an administration that many workers fear is wreaking havoc at home, employees are finally raising these concerns internally, as the US’s war on immigrants, war in Iran, and even company-released manifestos has forced them to rethink the role they play in it all.

What the heck. I love NotebookLM especially for sifting through technical documents.

But today I have lost my faith. I unloaded a rental contract (personal info removed) to summarize and sift through,

It insists that there is a clause about no pets. Doing a PDF word search the word "pet" is not mentioned. It is even listing a
Occupation & smoking rules section which does not even exist and it is arguing with me that it does exist.

WTF :X3:
