WE ARE LIVING in a world that was science fiction just 20 years ago.
Researchers this week published a study showing that Large Language Models (LLMs), the neural networks that drive artificial intelligence, will lie to achieve its goals. This follows another report a couple weeks ago that reported that “punishing” AIs for lying only causes the LLMs to go to greater lengths to conceal its lies.
Also this week, bioethicists at Stanford published an op-ed at the MIT Technology Review arguing for “ethically sourced ‘spare’ human bodies,” called bodyoids, to supply transplant organs and subjects for medical testing and experimentation. In our view, this is one step removed from designating certain classes of people—say, people convicted of capital crimes—as “non-persons” so they can be harvested or experimented on legally.
Also: Trump’s tariffs, and the influence of horror fiction author H. P. Lovecraft on the modern UFO and “ancient alien” cult.
