machine god at Bloomington, Indiana city limits
Bloomington, Indiana, has banned artificial superintelligence.
The city council voted 7–0 to bar superintelligent AI within city limits, including through apps and browsers. Violators face fines and possible prosecution.
Lifting the ban would take approval from more than 95% of registered voters.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bloomington's ordinance bans only hypothetical future superintelligent AI systems that vastly exceed human cognition across nearly all domains with recursive self-improvement and autonomy, not current AI technologies.

strapping this technology over my mouth and applying for jobs
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

no one cares about any of your doomer scifi shit or any of our bloomer scifi shit either, they want to shove us in lockers and flush our heads in toilets - none of the stuff nerds care about is even known of by the general populace - they heard from mainstream news that the datacenters were the same thing as a cartoon captain planet Coal Sludge Toxic Waste Factory and NIMBYed about them because of that

Its still crazy to me anti-ai people don't just believe AI should stop growing but that you are literally a bad person for using it

We’ve trained Claude to flag potential misuse in conversations, a technique we call self-assessment. Right after it responds, Claude gives a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation.
Since we began using self-assessment in June, it has surfaced misuse that our other safeguards weren’t designed to catch.
Because Claude has already read the conversation, self-assessment is very efficient. And unlike classifiers, which target a discrete set of harms, it draws on Claude’s own judgment, so it gets more accurate as our models improve.
